32 Best Cafes near Rochester

“Just had my first visit here and was completely satisfied. I had a Cinnamon tea with honey and it was delicious. I saw many things here I would love to try, and will on future visits. Looking forward to going back and experiencing the other fare they have to offer.“

“We just had the best service here! And great coffee, tea, and treats! We had went on a walk and decided to treat ourselves to a coffee. After our order was ready and we went pay we found that I lost my license and id along our walk. OYE! They were so kind and patient with us with our frantic responses. They had us take our order anyway and said that they 'trust us'. Luckily, we found my id and card and went back and paid. They were still super nice when I went back in. We will be back and tell everyone else they should go as well!! You just don't have that small town feel anywhere else around here.“

“This local restaurant in Michigan has it's positive and negatives regarding accessibility. The door to the restaurant is narrow, a single door, which could be problematic for someone in a wheelchair for example, it is also a pull door with a small handle, which could also present difficulties for someone. Upon entering, the line to order food also intersects with tables for seating creating a very narrow area, but also a very overstimulating one. The kitchen is not blocked off by a full wall, thus the sounds from the kitchen, staff, and people eating presents a very noisy environment that could be overstimulating for some, and also make it challenging for someone with a hearing impairment to hear. Though this could present an issue for someone, the website offers the menu and screen reading is available, thus this could help someone determine what they want to eat prior to going inside, which could aid the audio issue but also prevent anxiety around ordering in a busy and loud area. There are three big windows at the front, and on a sunny day there is nothing to block it, which could be another barrier to accessibility. The tables in the restaurant are a positive as there are many different kinds, high top, low top, and booths, which allows people to chose what they prefer, and could also allow for more accessibility. The bathrooms at the back of the restaurant have wide doors, are very large, and are singles, which could help if someone needed more space in the bathroom for various reasons.“

“The food here is awesome - healthy, clean, creative and delicious. They have a great selection. It will be my go-to place for lunch. Friendly, attentive staff who care about your experience really makes it a perfect place and I’ve heard their smoothies are awesome too.“

“Norman was the kindest when I stumbled upon his Cafe while in Troy! Was here for work and saw the awesome reviews so decided to check it out. While there, he was so sweet to offer the rest of my work crew (who was working out in the cold, rain that night) a cannister of coffee for everyone! Thank you so much, Norman! Amazing coffee and service! :)“

“We tried this bakery/cafe and the food was wonderful. I had a combo with chicken salad and slightly spicy tomato basil soup on the best grain bread and a delightful cinnamon oatmeal cookie. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it. I'll be in there every time I'm in the area to try different things, but I'm sure most of the time it will be chicken salad and tomato basil. Yum yum and yum!“

“This is my favourite spot for anything cheese and desserts. I met the owner during one of my visits. She talks and walks this lifestyle and is incredibly passionate in her craft which speaks to the amazing quality and creativity of her products and the restaurant itself!!“

“I wish I’d discovered this place when it opened almost 3 years ago. It has very cozy seating and Wi-Fi. It has every type of coffee you could want, smoothies made with fresh natural ingredients and all types of sandwiches. I’m going to enjoy coming often.“

“This place is amazing. Great coffee. Great food. Great bakery items. Most coffee shops have those things though. What truly set this place apart was the incredible service I (and others) received while in store. Angelina helped me out and provided some of the best service I've ever gotten in my life. The other employee who helped the people in front of me was extremely helpful figuring out what drinks would be best for a couple who was in for their first time and weren't sure what to get. All around a great experience.“

“i love coffee so I’m pretty picky with where I go for coffee! I had the kuppa joy and latte (both with oat milk) and they were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend this over any Starbucks. Staff was friendly, environment was chill. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Used to be my in-between work wifi pit stop when I needed one, and love the high top seating bar.. coffee was usually good, sometimes inconsistent but also a great place to stop instead of the corporate coffees on the high traffic coffee hours when you can get immediate service here. Can often be nice and quiet too for studying with enough privacy if you need to have a meeting.“

“Wow haven't been here in a long time ! Very busy on early Sunday afternoon. Didn't wait long. Shared a Mexican and Greek omelette. Both were quite good. Loaded with all the ingredients. Hub of activity, with waitresses, bus people, etc flying by. Per getting more normal, when you go to pay bill - the smallest sign tells you 4 percent extra for a credit card payment.“

“Friendly staff and great coffee/food. I go here almost every day and am greeted with smiles without fail. They even went ahead and wrote down my order next to the cashier because I always get the same thing. On rough days, stopping in for just a few minutes at this location gives me a lift. It’s my permanent coffee spot.“

“I've lived in LO my entire life but haven't been here since they opened... maybe because I wasn't a fan of coffee back then lol! Went here this weekend to spend some time with a friend and saw several other people that I know, so it's a hangout loved by friends! So cozy and inviting, with quick, friendly and earnest service. Oh... and the coffee and scone were great too!“

“Came here for brunch with a group of friends and we had a great time. I ordered the blueberry Ricotta pancakes with lemon curd, potatoes, jalapeno polenta, and Earl Grey tea. The pancakes were so delicious, you didn't even need syrup. The potatoes were cooked well, but could have used more seasoning. The polenta was creamy and flavorful. My tea was enjoyable and tasted like high quality Earl Grey.The only negative is the customer service could have been better. The waiters weren't very attentive or personable. We found ourselves having to flag them down or get up and find a staff person if we wanted something. Could have just been an off day though. Totally coming back. This is an awesome place for brunch.“

“It was a pleasure to find this place so close to us. Delicious coffee with filling and flavorful dishes, such as the classic waffle and karaage chicken, is a combo that'll keep me coming back again and again. Heavily recommend visiting multiple times as there are tons of different dishes to try!“

“OMG absolutely delicious! The huevos rancheros was not what my bf expected tho. No chorizo in it, but he still loved it. My loaded berry french toast was AMAZING. This place is really cute. Has a nice small diner feel to it. The food came out really quick too. And our server was very attentive and very nice.“

“I haven’t been to this bakery in years, and I noticed that it seems to have adopted a more corporate style compared to its previous, more personal atmosphere. It’s still nice, but I don’t feel the same sense of attachment to this place as I did before. So sad.Also, quite pricey, a smoked salmon sandwich cost $17.“

“My friend and I stopped in for a relaxing coffee moment while another friend shopped next door at Aritzia. The latte and almond croissant were top notch - as was the people watching! The aesthetic of the cafe is relaxed and on trend. I would recommend this cute cafe for a pick me up while shopping at Somerset!“

“I had the pleasure of discovering this charming café today: it was truly delightful! From the moment that I walked in, Madeline's kind hospitality made me feel right at home. Not only did she kindly offer to warm up my croissant, but she also went the extra mile to check that it was heated to the right temperature—perfection! Speaking of perfection, the pistachio croissant was simply divine. Paired with a heavenly chai latte that boasted just the right amount of spice, it was a match made in culinary heaven. Plus, the seamless access to reliable Wi-Fi made it the ideal spot for catching up on work or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation. With ample seating and the perfect ambiance, the café struck the perfect balance of cozy, yet vibrant. Parking was easy and convenient. Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit to experience this slice of café paradise again.Dietary restrictions: There were alternative milks for all diets.“

“Awesome service. The best food I’ve had in along time! Everything was freshly made and the cook hand picked the vegetables from his garden. I haven’t had an omelette that tasted so good from a restaurant other than this!I would 1000% recommend Drakes Cafe (near hall and mound area) to anyone looking for an excellent and homemade breakfast at Drakes Cafe!!Vegetarian options: Veto friendlyKid-friendliness: The waitresses are so good with Benny and take care of him first if he’s fussy :)Wheelchair accessibility: Danny makes accommodations for anyone in his restaurant.“

“The inside of this Cafe is beautiful and Adel is amazing and such a sweet person. The food was incredible and the service was excellent. I recommend anyone who wants a good breakfast/lunch spot to come here! They also have Doordash for your delivery “

“I love Biggby and love supporting local companies. This location has very friendly staff and high quality drinks. That being said, prices have gone up, and I was shocked to spend $8 on a large frozen drink ($7 on a medium hot drink). I know that inflation is a thing, but I, sadly, can’t justify it.“

“This is totally good old school Chinese restaurant. Reminds me one of those more expensive dine-in Chinese restaurants in the 80's with nice decor, friendly service and really good food. Unfortunately most Chinese restaurants downgraded to cheap carry out places on every corner. Not Hong Kong Cafe. I love this place. Very friendly service, great food, full bar and nice comfortable atmosphere. Too bad they are closing at 8 pm as we usually go to dinner around that time and unfortunately not open for lunch anymore but if you can make it in this window between 4 and 8 pm, you absolutely should. And did I say that Wonton soup is the best I have ever had?“

“Great food, friendly staff. Always busy. Good food is worth the wait. Cook goes above and beyond to make sure you get your dish the way you want. If they make a mistake, they fix it. Really enjoy their hamburgers!Styrofoam melts when very hot food is on it and it affects the taste of food. Can you please put tinfoil or parchment paper under it? (Example: biscuits and gravy, ff with chili and cheese)Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly dishes.Parking: Parking lot always has available spots.“

“First time here and they have earned a lifetime customer. The atmosphere is a nice, warm environment. I will bring my friends next time as they offer free games to play. The macchiato was one of the best I have had. I can't wait to try more drinks the next time I stop by!“

“Came in on a whim after seeing Madelyn on the instagram page wearing the lions jersey. After many great recommendations Amber made me a dirty chai, it was delightful. I hope I get to see more of these two in the future, goodbye Dunkin and hello hot spot!“

“Placed an order online and the website was having an issue which I did not realize until I showed up to pick up my lunch. They were super friendly and (apologetic - which was not necessary) and made my food super fast. Loved the customer service in making it right and being so so friendly. Food is really good too, but the service will make me come back again and again!“

“From the moment I entered, the warm and inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me, setting the tone for what would be a memorable experience. The decor exudes rustic elegance, with carefully selected Italian artifacts adorning the walls and cozy seating arrangements that transport patrons to a quaint Italian piazza.The coffee here is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a connoisseur of classic espresso or prefer a velvety cappuccino, the offerings here are a genuine representation of traditional coffee excellence. The beans are expertly roasted to perfection, resulting in a rich, robust flavor that lingers on the palate.One of the standout features of this establishment is the personalized service. The staff here exudes genuine warmth and hospitality, making you feel like an honored guest in their home. I stop by here every time I'm in town!“

“I'm a big fan of Ube flavored foods. And this was the first time trying cotton cake because I heard that they had Ube flavored Japanese cheesecake. The cake was moist and fluffy, wasn't too sweet, it was pretty good for a Japanese cheesecake, but the flavor didn't really have that authentic Ube taste to it. I've tried other Japanese cheesecakes and this place is good, but not as comparable to the others I've had. The employees were kind and attentive. And the place itself was very cute. They have a different variety of ice creams, pastries and cakes. The cheesecake with Nutella and pistachio was pretty tasty.“

“Fantastic experience working with Nadia, the owner of the Somerset Mall Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! With impeccable service, she made our wedding day even better! The apples looked and tasted spectacular as a table favour; I received many compliments on them. I encourage anyone looking for a great gift to visit the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory!“

“Shrimp and Grits were amazing!! Grits did need a little salt. Salmon frattata was great also. Nice unique breakfasts flavors. A lot better than the all you can eat brunch places, that have basic items and you feel bloated afterward.Quality over Quantity ?“
