Katy's Cafe was super busy on our visit. This made for longer service times which was to be expected given the volume. The food however when it came out was tasty and enjoyable. It's always a plus when they use fresh fruit. Very conveniently located right at the start of the strip when you enter Ellicottville (from Buffalo).

We stopped by twice a week apart on a road trip to Niagara Falls. One way we had excellent croissants. The way back we got breakfast. Matcha and regular lattes were great

I had a great, relaxing experience. The food was tasty, and so was the coffee. I have two eggs, sunny side up and sunflower bread toast with just the right amount of butter. The server was pleasant and delightful.

We are here at the casino and decided to venture out for breakfast.. And are we glad we did! Katy's is super nice café, the food was really good the service was also really good and the atmosphere was really good as well, I had French Toast it was really good my wife had the Lucky Burrito and it also was delicious and it has a little spice to it I like! We would revist this place anytime we are in the area. Highly recommended

Went for a late Breakfast and was no disappointed. Had the LA French toast and wiped the plate clean. Wife's avocado toast was wonderful. We ended up going back later for smoothies which were also wonderful. Highly recommend if in area.

This place is AWESOME. I never do google reviews but this place blew me and my boyfriend out of the waters. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Fantastic. Can’t complain about a thing. We came to Ellicotville for a small town getaway trip thinking of trying out the different restaurants. What ended up happening was we came here every single day for breakfast and lunch. They have a huge variety menu of not only food but drinks. It’s all you could ever need for a clean, cozy, homestyle meal. Portions are amazing and you get what you pay for. The drink specials were INCREDIBLE. we tried the Bananas Foster Frappe and it was like nothing we ever had before. Perfect blend of banana, cinnamon, chocolate, and just yumminess I can’t describe. All the workers are so incredibly kind and welcoming. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a cute brunch place like this. P.S. if you’re a coffee or tea lover, this place will have you running back to it everyday!
