History
Our family business has been a fixture in the neighborhood for more than fifteen years. It all started with a small menu & fabulous brunch at the beloved Coffee Bean Cafe (est.1995), and eventually evolved into the award-winning Shango Bistro & Wine Bar, which opened in its place in 2005. Shango, named after the Yoruba god of thunder & lightening, has influenced the people of West Africa, the Caribbean, New Orleans, and now, Buffalo!
