“My group and I had lunch last week at the Nickel Plate, service by Dawn and others was superb. There were eleven older ladies in my group and every one of us loved our lunches! So today I was nearby and a friend and I had a late lunch there. Again service was fabulous and my friend loved her salad and I loved my fries ( a huge bowl for $2 !!!!) and 75 cent wings!! Available after 2 pm on Wednesdays!!”

“Very unique, cool, and aeastically pleasing boutique shop with a variety of beautiful stuff handcrafted by local artists. Must visit while in Buffalo. The owner is super nice. Her cute kitten is adorable.
Loved the tagline "If you're going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance."”
“Love this place! Very unique and well made crafts and textiles and other neat items. Got some beautiful pieces from the shop on a cold day, warmly welcomed and no pressure atmosphere.”
“This place is wonderful! Just filled with all kinds of amazing items from Ireland! A great place to buy a gift for your loved ones and support a wonderful local business!”
“Very cute gift shop. Great place to buy gifts or souvineers. They have lots of Buffalo and Buffalo Bills themed merchandise, clothing, witty napkins, scented candles, purses, and even oils/vinegars from Saratoga. The owner also has a very sweet dog named Milo.”
“Wonderfully friendly service. A nice selection of South Buffalo wares and souvenirs . Fair prices and tasty, complimentary coffee . A relaxed, enjoyable experience.”
“Very helpful shop-keepers, unique items, and the best gift wrapping -- one can consider the wrapping to be its own work of art. The recipient of the gift felt even more special because of the wrapping.”
“This is my happy place! Just walking in makes you feel relaxed. This is privately owned in Buffalo. The staff is very knowledgeable and helps with selecting the perfect products for your needs. The Re-new products are manufactured right here in Buffalo (my favorites are the salt scrubs, bar soaps and room sprays; white tea & aloe) and the rest are handpicked by the owners like Indie Lee skin care, another favorite. Sooo much better than corporate bath shops...visiting this shop is a must!!!”
“So my gf and I were ring shopping and eventually found a stunner at this location. It was the first and only ring she got teared up at (and actually gasped). I returned to buy the ring just a few days later.
WELL a few days after that my gf says "oh I'm going to get a birthday gift for my grandmother at that bonfire craft place" and I broke into a sweat knowing she was going to look for that ring.
I called the store and let them know my situation and tell them "she CANNOT KNOW I have that ring, can you come up with a story and make sure everyone working today is on the same page? This is what my gf is wearing today, she just left the house."
Well the artists here were RIDE OR DIE, they immediately came up with an Oscar worthy story, and then followed up with me after "oh she was devastated, you definitely bought the right ring."
Well the big day was just a few days ago, so I finally get to post this review and let the Bonfire Craft team know they went above and beyond from the artful crafting of the ring, careful consideration in making sure it was sized properly, and then eager enthusiasm at joining my conspiracy in making the special day all the more surprising for my now-fiancé.”
“Staff are always friendly and welcoming. We love coming in the look for unique games or random chackies you can’t get in box stores anymore like this Disk Dash we got for our kids for Christmas. We love perusing George and Co!”
“This is an amazing location! Jessica (I believe she is the manager?) was so fun to talk to and she helped me exchange a size of something I ordered online. Amazing stuff in this store for anyone who loves pop culture!”
“We were actually visiting from out of state (Oklahoma) and, honestly, I am not even that much of a Buffalo sports fan; however, their enthusiasm is contagious and we got swept up and decided to stop at the BFLO store. Great store. Great selection of merch for fans of the Buffalo sports scene of all types. To be honest, we went to get gifts for our grandchildren, and they could use a larger kids section. Beyond that, it was a great experience and I highly recommend it.”
“I love it in here! It's so cute and they have a great selection from boozy accessories, baby stuff, and women's clothing. Everyone is so friendly and they do a great job at keeping their products current and changing with the seasons!”
“Loved this place, such a gem! Me and my son were visiting from Florida and stumbled into here and I'm glad we did! Had so much fun chatting with the owner and picking out stuff for his friend. Thanks!!”

“A true hidden gem and the ultimate all-in-one gift shop! (kinda overpriced tho!) Whether you’re shopping for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, Christmas, Halloween, retirements, or any special occasion, this place has it all. They carry so many trendy and beloved brands - from Jellycat, Stanley, and Owala to Yankee Candle, Hello Kitty, Marin, Palm Pals, NFL, Kendra Scott, Little Words Project, and more! You’ll also find the most unique and niche items you won’t see anywhere else.
Beyond gifts, they’ve got everything from stationery, apparel, and beauty finds to kitchen goods, snacks, fidget toys, blind boxes, board games, kids gifts, men’s gifts, books, and candles. Every corner feels like a new discovery. Definitely worth a visit - you’ll leave with something perfect (and probably a few things for yourself too)!”
“This is a very big as seen on TV store, the staff is very friendly. Lots of cool and unique items to choose from. At the back of the store they have a kids section. Lots of free parking available outside the mall.”
“The shop is very cute and has tons of Buffalo-specific items from local businesses and artists. I stopped in from out of town and chatted with the owner and one of the men that works there about moving to Buffalo and the area. To my surprise, they spent like 30 minutes giving me super detailed information about the neighborhoods and suburbs which was very helpful! They were so kind! ♥️”
