What Kylie Morissette doesn't like about 1886 Buffalo Cafe:
My husband and I decided to give this restaurant a try for a weekend brunch, but we were let down by the unfriendly hostess and our waitress. The service was slow and the staff seemed disinterested in their work. The blueberry pancakes were average at best and the omelette was just okay.

1886 Buffalo Cafe offers a charming setting in a historical building for hearty breakfasts and basic meals. Service quality varies, with some experiencing neglect and early closures. Prices are on the higher side, but the food is described as wholesome and reminiscent of home cooking. The cafe has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a quick morning bite or a leisurely meal. While lacking in espresso coffee options and breakfast variety, 1886 Buffalo Cafe is a popular spot among locals and visitors alike. Just be prepared for potential service hiccups and limited menu selections.
