The Why Coffee Shop: Celebrating More Than 45+ Years On Main Street

Adele · February 3, 2018

The Why Coffee Shop has been located at the intersection of Main Street and Portage Road in Niagara Falls since either late 1971 or 1972. There are very few businesses that can say that they have existed for 45+ years at the same address on Main Street in Niagara Falls, New York. The coffee shop has a nice ambiance, food at a reasonable price, a friendly staff, and a loyal customer base. If you haven’t already stopped in, find time to experience one of the oldest treasures of Main Street.
