Everyone needs to come to this coffee shop. They are extremely friendly and have fantastic house-made syrups. Also, have an amazing upstairs crafting area that you sign up to take classes.

I went to Slow Season on the last day of their soft opening and was blown away! Before I even walked in the door, a couple who had just left stopped me on the street asking if I was going to the cafe and, when I said I was, could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. When I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, cozy, and inviting space decorated with vintage plates, mugs, and copper bakeware. The friendly barista gave me the rundown of the menu and clued me in that they had decaf espresso, too (hooray, since it was after 6PM). I ordered a Maple Brown Sugar Shaken [Decaf] Espresso with Oat Milk and it was DE-LI-CIOUS -- way better than the shaken espressos that the green mermaid is churning out! I did not order a charcuterie board, but I did see several of them while I was there, and they all looked beautiful; I certainly plan to get one next time. // As a direct response to the only negative review I've seen so far, the prices are not at all unreasonable. This is a small local business and for my coffee plus tip I paid $10.50. I checked the menu and the charcuterie board is $16, offers generous amounts of food, and if you need more, it's only a couple extra bucks to add an additional item. These prices are comparable to just about every other place I've been lately; everything is more expensive nowadays, and if you want something of good quality, expect to pay a little more. // After getting my coffee, I went upstairs to the Crafting Cafe and was welcomed by one of the owners who explained how everything worked. I sat down at a table with my drink and looked over the "Maker's Menu" and decided to go with a needle felting project to craft a little mushroom. I've never needle felted before but the owner assured me that most people who do the project have never done it and they walk away with something that looks like a mushroom. ;) I was given a tray with all the tools and supplies I needed along with a QR code that took me to a video that showed me th

If I could give 10 stars for this hidden gem, I would! They offer fantastically, balanced coffee; amazing charcuterie options, including gluten-free; and a genuine desire to bring back community!!

I have tried the Vanilla Fig, the Orange Blossom, and we got a custom chocolate raspberry latte that were all delicious. I also enjoyed their customizable charcuterie board. The small businesses are most often some of the best. I was happy to find a unique place like this. I live in Depew and was not disappointed by both my visits. I look forward to trying more seasonal drinks and enjoying some crafts in my next visits!

i LOVE this place. I crave their matcha. The staff is super friendly and they service if very fast considering everything is handcrafted in front of you. They always have delicious and unique syrups that i love to try. The crafting cafe is also very fun! the crafts themselves are a little pricey, but in my opinion you get your money’s worth. I go as much as I can! (picture is matcha with the seasonal gingerbread molasses syrup, which i got in december.)

My experience was nothing short of magical. I ordered the banana bread latte and booked a table at the crafting café, which was such a unique and cozy experience. There were so many incredible craft options to choose from, ranging from clay trinkets to needle felting and more. I chose the sheep needle felted canvas and absolutely loved it. Everything you need is provided, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and there was also a clear video tutorial that made the process easy and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this space to anyone and everyone looking for a creative, relaxing outing paired with a great drink and/or snack.

Really enjoyed this place. I had a milk and cookie iced latte and it was to die for. Love the crafting aspect they have going on. Did not get to check out the upstairs crafting space but plan too. The space was cute comforting and welcoming. Wish they offered more food options but the charcuterie did look good so will give that a try next time. Went back and had the cinnamon roll as well. Very good and big enough to share.

Absolutely love the cozy atmosphere of this place! We ordered drinks and a charcuterie board and then went upstairs to the crafting cafe. The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and very patient with us. Although I live an hour away, I would make the hour trip to visit here again!

This cafe will definitely be going to my favorites list. Nothing to complain about. The experience was great. We order 2 different valentine special drinks. Both were delicious especially the one with the cream on top. They have a bunch of other specialty drinks that we want to try on our next visit. The service was great. We were in a line but it steady kept moving. The drinks were coming out on a quick pace. The ladies behind the counter were lovely. The atmosphere is cozy. I do wish the space were slightly bigger especially when it gets really busy. We also decided to head upstairs to where the arts and crafts room is. That was also a fun experience. You get to choose what kind of craft you wanted to do and they will give you all the supplies and tutorial if you need it. The staff up there were so nice and welcoming. A fantastic time overall.

Had a fabulous time at Slow Season learning to whittle and enjoying lattes! What a wonderful way to spend the evening. Creative, relaxing and enjoyable. We were so happy with how our projects turned out and made plans to return asap!
