Strong Hearts Buffalo

Founded in Syracuse, NY, Strong Hearts is a fast-casual eatery leading the way in vegan comfort food style dining since 2008.

Strong Hearts opened in May of 2008 in Syracuse, NY and was located inside the multi-use building at 719 E. Genesee Street. In July of 2020, Strong Hearts relocated one block away to 315 Irving Ave and relaunched its brand and menu. Strong Hearts continues to serve its award-winning fare there while offering a highly improved customer experience.

Seeking an opportunity to expand upon the success of its new operation, Strong Hearts expanded in to the Buffalo market in July of 2022 by opening a new restaurant at 295 Niagara Street on the city’s west side. The remodeled interior reflects the building’s history as a former warehouse while paying homage to the activist roots of the restaurant and the revitalization of Buffalo’s west side.

Strong Hearts was built upon the vegan ethics of animal, earth, and human liberation.

Strong Hearts is co-owned and was co-founded by Joel Capolongo and Nicholas Ryan.
