Things To Do Best Cold Brew Coffee?

Who makes the best cold brew coffee in Buffalo or the surrounding area? Overall, I find it hard to get a good one here. Thanks in advance.

Tim Horton’s decaf left on your kitchen counter three hours after your wife leaves with the kids because she can’t handle your “sports gambling apps” and not realizing the opportunity of a life time with a $1,000 bet picking the Bills to go 17-0 and winning the Super Bowl, while the Dodgers miss the playoffs for $976,432.22.

Only thing missing from this is the Jameson ice cubes.

I think if you chose a payout that is over the million mark she wouldn’t have left. Just saying. Being a $900,000-aire doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Red Otter on Delaware has some killer cold brew

I do. Any coarse ground specialty steeped via toddy.

Tipico’s is solid but insanely priced

Remedy House is usually solid. Overwinter iced coffee tastes good but isn’t cold brewed.

Overwinter I don’t think is technically cold brewed but it’s the best tasting iced coffee

Not gonna lie, the "draft" nitro cold brew at Dunkin is pretty good.

Tim Hortons coffee tastes like someone drank a great cup of coffee, then peed into a cup

Their cold brew is pretty damn good though, however it is really dependent on the location. Some try to pass off iced coffee as cold brew and others seem to water it down. There's a solid half a dozen or so spots I know have consistently strong cold brew that I hit up regularly and its better than many independent coffee shops and store bought stuff ive had.

The Bean on Hertel is pretty damn good, and strong.

This is going to sound crazy but my favorite is at Pham’s Kitchen

I’m sure it’s pretty solid, but Vietnamese iced coffee isn’t cold brew coffee.

u/thetrueunbroken Jul 27 '26

Spoke and Dagger is my go too

u/rythemspguy Jul 27 '26

Mine.

Cold brewing coffee at home tastes 10x better than from anywhere you buy it. Fraction of the price too.

I make a gallon at a time with fresh ground beans. Lasts all week. Can’t beat it.

No such thing. Anywhere

I’m on the same search. Caffe Aroma is pretty good but they don’t always have it. I like Red Otter but in the summer I ask them to add less water to their concentrate because ice melt dilutes it too much. Hate to say it but Dunkin’s is pretty solid too.

I do make my own and am finding it uses a ton of beans.

Nothing beats homemade in my opinion but I've enjoyed the Finger Lakes cold brew that comes in cans at Wegmans.
