We are proud to offer freshly roasted coffee that is produced weekly right in the lower lobby of our cafe.
We small-batch roast each and every week, and offer a variety of beans that range from medium to dark roasts.
We opened our shop in a former funeral home and, as you may have noticed, we like to pay homage to
what the space used to be while having fun with some killer puns and (less than) subtle references.
If you haven't already, stop in, immerse yourself in Undergrounds,
and try a cup of our freshly roasted coffee today! It's to die for.

WHITE LIGHT BLENDS
We are paying our respects to some killer ladies who have gone before us with our White Light custom coffee blends. The White Light series, inspired by the ‘go towards the white light’ phenomenon people often experience near death, are heavenly blends crafted with the utmost thought and care. Each blend is specifically crafted to correlate with the impactfully strong woman chosen to be the namesake of that blend. We dedicate many hours creating each blend, so that the final product may humbly
live up to, and honor, it's namesake.

Meet our Roasting Team
Erin Morris
Erin graduated with a degree in Professional Writing. After 12 years working in the marketing and communications field, she decided she needed to get out from behind the desk, away from the computer, and back to connecting with people face to face. Her sister Bridget shared that her and 2 business partners Bill Metzger and Sara Heidinger had an idea of opening a coffee shop that served freshly roasted coffee. Jumping at the chance to develop a new skill, Erin was instantly on board. In love with the idea of creating and serving small batch, freshly roasted coffee to Buffalo-area consumers, Erin apprenticed with Alan Hayes of Hayes Home Roasting, learning all there was to know about the coffee roasting process. Erin and our roasting team are looking forward to exploring more flavors and blending options in the future. |
Veronica Rongo
Veronica has been with us since day one, but took on roasting this past year when one our main roasters followed her passion for coffee out west to the coffee capital. After spending time learning under our previous Roaster Veronica took the reins and has been roasting her heart out ever since. |
Jess Stroupe
Jess has been a lover of coffee since she was 5 years old when her Nona gave her a cup of milk and sugar with a splash of Bustelo. She has been working with coffee for over 10 years and was thrilled to have an opportunity to expand her knowledge and continue improving her coffee skills at Undergrounds. Jess has been roasting for Undergrounds since November 2022. She is currently a supervisor at both our Old First Ward and Seneca One locations. When she’s not at the coffee shop, you can find her cuddled up on the couch with her 3 cats, a cup of our Kenya roast in hand, reading a High Fantasy Novel. |
