This coffee shop was super cute, it's small but very cozy!! The environment was bright and friendly and the staff was happy and fast. Their food was great, breakfast sandwiches were yummy!! And the drinks were tasty too. Parking is difficult but that's with anyplace around this area. Will try again!!!

Love this place, a new fav. Gluten free treats and fun drinks! AND, it's my old Holistic Health Journal office from the late 90's. Such a cool vibe there :)

A cute little place right by the Buffalo Zoo and Delaware Park. The staff were cordial and the food was quickly prepared. Their menu is not huge but larger than I expected from the other reviews. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was great. The English muffin was not dry and they cared to season the egg, which some places don't, for a more expensive price, and speaking of which the prices were all fair. The vanilla latte I order was also very good, and not too sweet or bitter. Would recommend.

Just coming in out of the cold with a hankering for a hot drink. This is such a cute quaint spot, we loved it! Came highly recommended and I'm so glad. The cashier/ barista was pleasant and made sure we knew of the non dairy options which was perfect. The chai latte was made perfectly and the vanilla bean muffin was a hit! Definitely coming back!

Had an oat milk latte. It was great. The service was good and the space is cute. There's a whole shelf of great kids books, great light, and a nice place to sit and spend some time.

JAM Parkside is a delightful, vegan-friendly spot across from the Buffalo Zoo featuring tasty cookies and scones, hot and cold drinks including kombucha and cold brew, cordial service, and prices that are cheaper than they have any reason to be. Protip one: there's a secret parking lot in the back (Driveway next to the 7/11 next door.) Protip two: the vegan scones run out early. Protip three: yesterday's baked goods are two bucks.

Nice size corner café in the Parkside area. Drink wise get at least a medium because the sizes run small... Also, only street parking available. I had a latte and of course had to try their jam, since that's in the name, so I also had an English muffin with butter and strawberry jam. Latte was great, the muffin and jam weren't anything out of the ordinary but they were delicious regardless. I will say that the "small" on the menu is more of a baby size and the "medium" is the size of a small at any other café. My friend ordered a small latte and it was dinky. Nice atmosphere, good Wi-Fi, good lighting and plenty of plants. Good spot to get some work done. I will be back.

Cute coffee shop located next to the zoo. My friend who I haven't seen in awhile and I were catching up , sharing pictures if my mom and chatting. Not crowded on a rainy day, perfect place to do school work, grab a sweet treat, breakfast sandwich, hot or cold beverage. Picked up a sausage breakfast sandwich and steamed cider, my friend a coffee. The guy who was working was pleasent, friendly didn't mind us being there awhile.
