Strong Hearts Buffalo

Strong Hearts is a vegan cafe on Niagara Street, and its plant-based burgers have made it one of the Buffalo area's highest-rated burger spots, ranking fifth on a 2025 list. The menu also has sandwiches and smoothies.

It is the easiest choice in the city if you are vegan or vegetarian, or if you are eating with a group that wants a burger-joint meal without meat. It is also close to downtown and the West Side, so it is easy to fit into a day of exploring the city.
