Blue Mountain Coffees
A one-stop shop in the Elmwood Village for all things caffeinated: not only is Blue Mountain a place to drink coffee, but you can also buy a dizzying variety of whole coffee beans: from ordinary varieties (including a killer dark roast) to oddities like Blueberry Muffin and Tanzanian Peaberry. A variety of other items are available, including teas, fine tobacco, a huge selection of greeting cards, scented candles, and various other gifts. Visitors can also chat with Blue Mountain's interesting and personable owner, Jim Greer, or simply bask in the intoxicating aroma of the different coffee beans.

EatAsian restaurantElmwood Village
Street Asian Food
Thanks to Street Asian Food, fans of the authentic flavors of Southeast Asia no longer have to venture into the fascinating but out-of-the-way West Side to get their fix. But you sure do pay for the privilege of a convenient location. On the menu is pretty much the same roster of Burmese and Thai specialties you'll find elsewhere — tea leaf salad, spicy yum nua beef salad, tom yum and Burmese chicken coconut soups, and the usual curries and noodle dishes — executed in a way that, while making no concessions on authenticity, is noticeably more refined and upscale than you'll find elsewhere in Buffalo. On the downside, portions are quite stingy, and be prepared for a case of sticker shock at the end of your meal.

Mythos
As is the rule among the numerous Greek restaurants of the Elmwood Village, Mythos' ambience (and its prices) are several notches above the average Buffalo-area greasy spoon. Even compared with similar destinations, though, Mythos distinguishes itself with artfully presented cuisine served in an upscale setting. But in spite of all the elegance, the cuisine here is perhaps a more faithful representation of the usual Buffalo Greek diner fare than any of its aforementioned competitors. In addition to the standards such as souvlaki, gyro, and spanakopita, Mythos offers a range of other Mediterranean options including pasta and chicken bruschetta, as well as a wide selection of wraps and local specialties such as fish fry. Breakfast is also popular here.
