Bean and Leaf is hands down the best coffee shop in downtown Rochester. There may be a lot of options in the area, but none compare to the consistently great experience here. The drinks are always hot, fresh, and made fast without sacrificing quality. The prices are very fair, especially for the level of service and quality you get.
The baristas are incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming every time I visit—they truly make the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. Whether you’re grabbing your usual or trying something new, they’re always happy to help.
If you’re looking for your go-to coffee spot in Rochester, this is it!

I wasn't impressed with the chai latte that I got but the service and atmosphere were amazing. I can't speak to the food, but my friend got the gluten free blueberry muffin and said it was amazing.

Their vegan pesto panini is amazing. I was not expecting a coffee place to make such amazing panini. This is an amazing place.

My partner and I drive 20 minutes to come here every single weekend, it is my favorite cafe. They have so many vegan options for food you will never leave here feeling hungry or unsatisfied like most cafes. They have fully vegan bagel sandwiches, paninis, pizzas, and so many rotating sweet treats like coffee cake, biscotti, muffins, cookies, etc. Each of them are heavenly. They also have multiple options for plant milk to order with your beverages. They have a lot of gluten free and gluten free and vegan options as well. You can bring anyone here and have a great time! Prices are also very affordable for what you get! Amazing service and vibes as well. Can't give this place any higher praise!

I've come a couple times and every time, the milk is not properly steamed. Most recently there was about an inch of foam on top, and the texture was straight bubbles.
I know I could ask for a remake, but I'm just not convinced there is proper training on how to steam milk.

Amazing cute little coffee shop with flavors for everyone - matcha, coffee, and boba
Very friendly staff, clean environment, not overpriced like a lot of the other places downtown Rochester. I’ll be back!

Bagels are super yummy. Coffee is good. Baristas are always quick and friendly. WiFi password never works, pretty sure it’s just for show.
