Caffeology

Enjoyed the Buffalo truffle from their specialty espresso menu. Very delicious, I loved the truffle after taste it leaves after each sip.
The owner is a very friendly person; As you walk in he greats you with a smile and an inviting hello. The environment is very welcoming and has a nice chill vibe to it.

I’ve only known about Caffeology for a week but have been there three times already. I’ve tried the espresso, the cold brew and the drip coffee. Loved how strong the cold brew was, definitely needed the ice to balance it out. The basic drip coffee was excellent, and the espresso was great too. Next I plan to try out the Turkish coffee.

Really enjoyed this place! Coffee is great and really like the tea lattes — that’s pretty unique in Buffalo. Seating isn’t the best — this is a small space, but it’s pretty brightly lit and as far as quality goes, the coffee and teas are spot on. GREAT location — once the new medical school opens, I can’t imagine what the lines will be like. However, due to the way the seating’s arranged, wouldn’t really recommend for plopping down to study or anything. Food selections are also limited. Perhaps all of this is intentional — it definitely feels like a place to grab coffee and go rather than a café where you can spend a lazy afternoon chilling/​studying. Good indy vibe, good product, fair prices. Not worth going out of your way for, but an AMAZING option if you happen to be in the area and need a quick pick-​me-​up.

My friends and I stopped in here to escape the cold for a little while a couple weeks ago. I ordered the grilled cheese and they shared a Zebra coffee. I have to say I was pleased with the sandwich — it was made from thick-​sliced bread and what I’m pretty sure was brie — plus it was a filling size and only cost $ 4 and some change after tax. Try getting a good grilled cheese anywhere in San Diego (where I’m from) for that price… you really can’t.
However, the coffee that my friends ordered was supposed to be black-​and-​white mocha; we agreed it actually tasted like raspberry chocolate. Which isn’t bad in and of itself, just not what we were expecting.
LGBTQ+ folks, they do have a gender neutral restroom which I didn’t need but was pleased to see.
The general decoration/​atmosphere of the interior is nice but not remarkable. Overall not a bad experience, but not sure I would go out of my way to come here again.

Great find! Was offered samples when I couldn’t decide what I wanted.
What I chose wasn’t freshly brewed. He offered to brew a fresh pot and I was given the cup for free for the wait!
Hot chocolate is delicious too! Great ambience, super friendly staff.

An awesome little find! Very quaint, hipster-​esque feel. Clean and nice environment/​space, bathroom included.
The baristas were super friendly and helpful. I often have a hard time making decisions because everything looks so tempting, but also somewhat afraid to try new things because if I don’t like said drink then it feels like I wasted my money. Maybe some of you can relate. Anyways the barista recommended a rooibos chai latte and it was fantastic! He also said If I didn’t like it he would just make me another drink. Only downside is that it’s a bit of a hike for me. If I lived closer I would definitely be a regular. Planning to go back again soon :)

Sitting on a radiator on a pillow at a table made of real wood listening to a reggae beat. Culture and coffee collide. This is Allentown. Welcome

Caffeology is so awesome! The coffee is from Joe Bean, which I learned after the fact, but is so awesome because their beans are delicious! When we walked in, I could tell instantly that I would like the place. I got a Buffalo Truffle Latte with Toffee Nut, Caramel, and White Chocolate. A bit on the sweet side (sorta reminded me of a Cinco Shake from Spot Coffee, actually). But it was so silky and delicious.
Another big bonus? They have Turkish Coffee! I can’t wait to try it! They even have the authentic turkish coffee Ibrik copper makers, so it seems like it’ll be authentic. I’ll have to see how it compared to the real coffee from Turkey! They also boast an array of tea lattes, as well as all the café classics.
The staff was helpful, friendly, and efficient with the drinks. I’ll definitely be back!

Delicious espresso drinks! I tried the Zebra and Buffalo Truffle, both tasted well balanced and not overly sweet like gross Starbucks. Customer service was welcoming and helpful! The ambiance is nice, the space is more open and not crowded, very cozy and warm inside also. I will definitely check this place out again when I visit Buffalo!

What a lovely place. Stopped by on a weekend trip to Buffalo and wished I’d had more time to hang out. It’s a cozy, welcoming spot, perfect for a Sunday morning book and coffee. Latte was great, as was the spinach and feta frittata. And the owner was super friendly, even making up a little to-​go container of Frank’s Red Hot for the takeout frittata on my way out. Will definitely be back on my next trip.

Man! Too many good coffee shops in Allentown. Depends on what you’re looking for. Super underground place like something I hung out in during college. The sweets are from the best bakery in town. Sweet temptations in Allentown. I went with a fancy coffee in the chemistry set. Worth my $ 5. Very strong. How I love my coffee. Mom did a tea latte. Earl grey, milk and vanilla?! Yum! It’s a cool shop and I hope it stays open. The location is a little rough but if you can look past that, it’s a cool hang out

Ooooo la la, such delicious coffee here! Stopped in around 6:15 at night on a Tuesday for a cup of coffee and the place was completely empty. Located on a corner spot, it is very visible and and well lit inside, however, a little too lit for my taste. I like a coffee shop to be cozy and warm, but the inside didn’t give me that feeling. The inside has tables and chairs, I was hoping for a cozy comfy couch or two, maybe in time! They have free w-​fi here so I could see myself doing work in here some time. They had one drip coffee available and one espresso blend available. Both sounded incredible. The person assisting me, possibly the owner, not sure, couldn’t have been more helpful. He told me a little bit about his process, where he came from and all about the bean they were using. He even gave me a taste before I took the plunge. The coffee was incredible, top two favorites I’ve had in Buffalo no question. A small and a large came to about $ 4.50, no medium size option. They had a lot of speciality drinks on the blackboard that I didn’t have enough time to check out, therefore this review is based on the drip coffee and first impression. I will definitely be back to see what else they have and will update the review then. Excited for this new spot!

5-​stars for the Joe Bean coffee that they brew. It’s so delicious and I’m glad there is at least one place in Buffalo that serves it.
Sure, I’m cheating on local purveyor public espresso when I go here, but shhhh. Joe Bean. I’ve only been here once for coffee, so my review will get an update when I’m back to work from the location or get something else aside from a cup of joe, but the coffee did indeed blow me away to the point where I felt compelled to write them a 5-​star review.
Milk/​sugar is self-​serve if you want in, but trust me this coffee tastes amazing black with nothing in it.

Up until about four months ago I was a barista in Buffalo for a little over three years and I have to say I have never had a latte as good as the one I had here. They took their time with the drink, which was fine, it wasn’t very busy in there, and it was worth it. The staff was really friendly and when I found out the owner himself made my drink I was relieved he knew what he was doing. Nothing worse than a dumb-​dumb running a business he knows nothing about.
The space is generally about the same as the previous business but it works so much better as a café. It’s super comfy, and I was pleased to already see some café-​laptop-​people hanging out, even though they just opened a week or so ago. I hope this place does well. And with the quality and proximity to me on Allen I am positive I will be back.

Awesome place! I had the buffalo truffle frappé and it was really good. The café has a cool low key vibe, and the radiators doubling as seats is great for cold winter mornings. I’ll definitely be back to see what else they have to offer. Allentown can never have enough coffee places that aren’t huge chains

Had my first siphon coffee and it was great. Takes a little bit longer than your regular brew (which they also have) but you won’t mind because vacuum Brewer is fun to watch.
This place is a new favorite. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
I also got to try their 12 hour cold brew they make and it was also really good.
They definitely made a regular customer out of me.

I came in and saw this place and fell in love! It has a great vibe and every barista is wonderful! Super helpful humans! I got a red tea latte and a mango smoothie that made my night happy! I can’t wait to see what else this place comes up with!
They also have subs and sweets, I can’t wait to stop in for a bite during a work shift or something. They just opened up so I would recommend adding them to your daily routine!

Really glad to see this place go into this particular location, which has been crying out for a good coffeeshop for a long time now. The owner (Ahmed) greeted us inside and was very kind, as were his baristas. Got a great espresso, and I’m happy to see the focus on good espresso, but also other options like siphon. It’s good to see coffeeshops in Buffalo not half-​assing it anymore. With the arrival of more third-​wave places like Public and Caffeology, I’ve even noticed long-​time staples like Sweetness₇ really stepping up their game, offering pour-​over coffee and new roasters. In any case, this place is a welcome addition. Please patronize them as the overhead for a new coffeeshop can be really high and I want to see this place stick around.

I work very close to this café. My coworker and I went to check it out today. It reminds me almost exactly of the ambiance of Diva Espresso in Seattle, only Diva was painted orange. (That was my favorite coffee shop, so I was quickly partial to this one with the way it reminded me of it) That is to say that its interior is hip without feeling overly pretentious, the prices are really fair, the drinks look interesting, and the sweets offered (from Sweet Temptations on the other side of Allen) are nearly the same and look tempting. The drinks we had were really well balanced — not too sweet, didn’t taste like there was fake flavors, good espresso. I anticipate this place may pose a budgetary problem for me in the future. The staff was really friendly. My coworker asked for a recommendation, and the barista asked a few questions, made one, and he was very happy with the result.
The logo is hideous, in my opinion, but you don’t drink that and it is easy to overlook.

Just noticed this new addition to Allen and I had to check it out. I’m excited to say that they are serving Joe Bean Coffee — which is delicious and local (Rochester). I tried their cold brew, which is made in-​house using Joe Bean beans, and a super fancy cold drip maker that’s displayed on the counter. The woman who took my order and answered my [overly] excited questions was so nice and helpful and the coffee is fantastic. They also serve the expected items (drip coffee, espresso and drinks, etc.) but I also spied Turkish coffee on the menu, which I was impressed to see and will have to try once the weather chills again. They also had some pastries available, and bottled drinks — I’ll have to take a closer look next time I’m there (which I can assume will be soon).
If you’re local, work nearby, or are visiting, I highly recommend checking out this place. It’s a bit of a sleepy corner but it’s worth walking the extra block or two to get there. Cheers!
