“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."”

“Small, beautiful boutique full of authentic african goods, the owner was very helpful and knew every item's diverse backstory, mostly handmade in different African countries. Very reasonably priced (almost too low of prices honestly)
I would highly recommend for anyone with any interest in African culture.”
“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.”
“Stella & Brooke is the best place to shop on Hertel, if not all of Buffalo! The selection is well-curated and the resident pups are sooooo sweet, but the real reason to come is that the staff is beyond lovely. They are gracious and genuinely kind, and really go out of their way to be helpful. The offerings at the store are constantly refreshed, and reliably high-quality and on-trend. Great place for gifts if you need some inspiration!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Nice and clear and clean. The people are super nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the departments are a little small, but unfortunately you can't conjure up more space.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Fantastic store! They have top quality products, many very creative items & very good prices. That Karina lady is so helpful & such an adorable sweetheart.”
“What a wonderful store! Super sweet staff! There are so many beautiful items that support very worthy causes. There is something for everyone! A very cool find I couldn't pass up was the pizza cutter!!!”
“This is a gorgeous store with wonderful hand made items. I was really impressed with the artistry. Also, Greg and Vincenza made the shopping experience really pleasant. I was shopping for gifts for a grieving family and they were very supportive and helpful. I will definitely be back here.”
“I frequently shop this hidden gem. They have friendly knowledgeable employees who go out of their way to assist you, if you need assistance. I LOVE the products here, including some exquisite gifts and not the common items you see in the big box stores. I live in the Southtowns but never mind the drive to the north towns Amherst. Great place!! Please build a store in Hamburg or Or hard Park and spread the great gifting!”

“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! ♥️”
