“Amazing food and coffee! The server was friendly, the dining room is comfortable and cozy. Portion sizes are perfect!”

“Really, really good. We went back to back nights and just ordered the same thing cause it was so good. The dusted wings and the pizza. The rest of the food we saw looked great. Next time we will order different food, or will we?? Wife said the wings were her favorite. I eat more wings than her but still put them top 5.”

“Such a classy place - Great drinks , food & prices .”

“Absolutely loved my visit to Working Class Coffee! The breakfast sandwich, seasoned potatoes, and coffee were all delicious — perfectly cooked and flavorful. The service was wonderful too. Derek and the barista were both kind and welcoming, and I really enjoyed chatting with Derek’s dad. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Our first time here and we will be returning, dishes are made to order so you can have them to your liking. (a little less hot for mine) and both our entrees were delicious. Tiramisu was homemade and light enough to follow meals. Wendy, the owner and daughter were friendly and attentive and we had great conversations. See you soon.”

“This was the worst. Burger is paper thin and no flavor. Blue cheese burger with Bleu cheese mayonnaise dressing. Brown lettuce. Tasteless. $30, one bite and left.”

“My new husband and I came to the Finger Lakes on our honeymoon. We were in Canandaigua and were recommended Wally's by a local for a late-night dinner. What a fantastic experience! We had the wings and the Wally's plate, and we’ll be thinking of both for a long time!”

“Delicious ice cream! We love coming here!”

“Highly highly recommend!! We went in for Valentine’s Day and were truly blown away! Great first experience - amazing flavor and great pricing! We will definitely be coming back!!”

“Just received my first shipment from Good Life Tea. I have ordered from other suppliers online before but I have been having a lot of trouble lately finding a good selection of decaf greens. So happy that I found this company. The tea is great and the personalization with the handwritten notes shows that they really care about their customers. Small businesses are the backbone of this country.Keep up the good work Susan.”

“exceptional food, staff, and service. Never disappoints!”

“We had 8 of us show up and we were served outside with our two dogs while they were also hosting a huge indoor event! Food was delicious, drinks were right on and sitting outside with our dogs was lovely! I thought it would be a much longer wait for everything since they were so busy but it was not at all! They are also offering some kickball league, cornhole, and so much more! There’s live music every weekend and just an overall wonderful place to go.”

“Breakfast sandwiches are highly recommended with any type of bread offered they are all tasty!! Great environment and great ownership. Love the coffee options all tried have been very good so far!”

“Love it at Coho. I don’t go all the time. More like a treat when I’m in there area. When Caleb is there he runs a tight ship. Talks with customers. All the bartenders are great too. It all ties in to help your experience be epic! ML&R to the crew up front and behind the scenes - 🤘🏼🤘🏼”

“Went there for dinner before a concert at CMAC yesterday and the food and service were AMAZING 👍! I strongly recommend the Peppers Pot Roast because it was the friggin SHIZNIT!!!!! The owners Abraham & Christie are wickedly talented when it comes to the meals and desserts 😁!”

“Wonderful baked goods and ice cream! I look forward to trying a meal there.”

“Thank you so much for the outstanding job on the cold cut tray we ordered for a birthday celebration. Everything from the meats, cheeses, toppings, condiments and rolls were fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed it and was a hit with our guests. The service was also appreciated as the young man insisted on helping me load everything into the car. Really appreciate the job you do and having you close by. Thanks!”

“The cutest little drive thru coffee shop! They will make anything, and have unique monthly special drinks. Love their iced chai lattes! Sam is always so nice, and makes the drinks fast! They even give pups a little treat. Highly recommend this over the local chains.”

“I absolutely love flavors restaurant. The food is incredible & the staff is very friendly as well! I drive 45 minutes just to get the chicken makhani with rice and naan bread, so delicious!

“Wow! Pretty sure I became unofficially German after eating here…amazing flavors!”

“What a great welcoming atmosphere, staff say hello as soon as you walk in the door . The pizzas are absolutely the best I have had in a very long time. Owners and brewers are hands on, it’s all about family! Great beers , great food !! I recommend it 100% . I know I’ll be returning very soon !!”

“Cool venue. Great drinks!”

“Absolutely delicious homemade food. The corned beef hash was amazing, as well as the homemade white bread they used for toast. I had a hangover plate and it was all fantastic.”

“We LOVED our first experience here. The homemade bread, sausage and baked goods were on point- along with one of the BEST biscuits and gravy ever- we honestly think this is one of the best places for breakfast in Canandaigua. We can’t wait to come back and try lunch! We loved hearing the history of this family woman owned and operated business! Cheers to a comfortable, cozy atmosphere with delicious food!”

“Ordered this for Christmas eve pick up for my son. He has been asking for one for 3 years. He said it was AMAZING. (Didn't eat the whole thing...although he tried.) Unbelievable for the price. I got a small bite. Great flavor, icing was great, not too sweet. Would recommend for anyone looking for a delicious treat.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visit Star Cider all the time, and it never disappoints! The cider selection is phenomenal… so many unique, flavorful options that make every visit feel like a new adventure. Each sip is a perfect burst of sunshine in a glass!! Plus, they host such fun events that make every visit feel special! The staff are a huge part of why we keep coming back. They’re always upbeat, patient, and genuinely happy to be there. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, they make you feel welcome and appreciated. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and family-friendly. We always enjoy listening to the music, soaking up the sunshine, and sipping on the most delicious cider. It’s the kind of place that just makes you feel good!! Absolutely one of our favorite go-to spots. Highly recommend! 🍎☀️🎶🍻”

“always hot and delicious, great service and margaritas. The best Mexican food around here.”

“We’ve been ordering from the monthly cookie drops for a while that it was an absolute no brainer to request a custom cookie order for our wedding desserts. The hardest part was narrowing down our flavor choices from our running list of favorites! We ended up with 5 trays of different flavors that our guests raved about. We cannot thank Nicole and her family enough!!”

“Staff is very helpful, management is understanding with requests. We love the food, atmosphere, and tasty desserts. A great place!”

“My brother who is 83 couldn't find already popped popcorn at the grocery so I thought I would surprise him. I live in Missouri and called KP's in Canandaigua NY to buy and send him some. They politely said they only do events. Then they said they would drop off a couple bags at his house and wouldn't take pay for it. What a great loving company.”

“Went to Rays for breakfast which was very good. Got the bill and there is charge for toast. Since when do you get charged for toast with eggs. The waitress should tell her customer that there is a extra charge for toast.”

“Has the best clam chowder!! Great meal and service. Will definitely be a return customer.”

“Great staff, fair pricing, and arguably the best pizza around! Love everything about their pizza! 🍕”

“Great staff and Delicious food consistently.”

“Outstanding service and delicious sausage sandwiches ice cold beer! Local and community based!! Thank you Joe and staff!🌲”

“Still waiting for their Grand Opening in SW Florida;)”

“great place .great atmosphere great people and great to be around people and have a good time .”

“My first visit to Murphy’s Law in Canandaigua was wonderful. Cadance was attentive and kept us laughing and entertained. Definitely ask for her. The tater tots were top notch!”

“My husband took me for dinner and ice cream this afternoon after a few errands. I was not able to enter the restaurant, as I have a badly broken foot and I rested in the car. My husband brought out a beautifully made sundae for me!! I would have gone inside and thanked the server, but I just needed to rest. Little did that server know, I will be having surgery in two days, and I have been in so much pain, unable to sleep, and hardly able to eat, from worry. That sundae cheered me up SO much!!!! You never know exactly who is on the receiving end of your work -- but that waiter made our sundaes as though they were a gift or from a fancy restaurant! I was so delighted! Thank you! (My husband said the server was young and had tattoos. Thank you for cheering me up!!)”

“Love the staff and the food is great too 😀”

“Great atmosphere, Great food,Great people...”

“Every town needs a classic ice cream stand, and Scoops is exactly that. Fantastic selection of hard ice cream from Perry's; I got a hot honey ice cream and it was the perfect amount of heat and flavor.

They also do dipped soft serve which feels like is hard to find these days. Portion sizes are very generous!

Great location by the lake and plenty of parking.

The ONLY downside is that we have gone during their listed hours said they're open (and not out of season), only to find the lights off. Google Maps does allow you to set temporary hours for holidays or other one-off circumstances, so it would be helpful if they updated the hours when they're going to be unexpectedly closed.”

“June 2025 Update

The pizza and staff are very good and that continued.
No improvements to the interior were made; the same torn shredded carpeting is present with no upgrade.

Previous Visits 2025 and 2024
The pizza is very good and the staff are nice and friendly. The dining rooms would be much nicer if they replaced the old worn-out, torn, stained carpeting. This presents trip hazards for customers. This drags down your dining experience and makes the place look really bad. The mens room door needs a cleaning.”

“Of all the typical Chinese food I’ve eaten in the last 10 years (penfield, Webster, Victor etc) this was by far the best local Chinese food I’ve had! Everything was incredibly fresh and well seasoned. The chicken fried rice had real slices of chicken and felt freshly made to order. I never had fried wontons that tasted as fresh and homemade as theirs did! I always order general Tso’s chicken extra spicy, and their’s was nicely sliced and seasoned without compromising flavor or quality. The egg rolls weren’t oily (which I saw someone else say they weren’t and I have to agree) and each item truly was exceptional for your typically priced Asian take out. This has become our new take out spot! We will gladly drive by the other two Asian take out restaurants closest to us to enjoy this family’s cuisine. ☺️. Thank you again!”

“Awesome restaurant- Fantastic food, Friendly staff”

“Mostly semi dry and dry wines but we did manage to find a wine my wife and I can both enjoy. This Taste of New York is an awesome place. That they're helping young people learn the workings of a kitchen or the differences in the various wines and beers available is commendable. The young lady at the tasting room was funny, happy, and thoroughly set the tone for a great time there.”

“Good food, great bartenders, pool table.”

“Delicious!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ♥️♥️♥️”

“Working with someone like Mrs. Clarice Haynes is a good experience and has predictive results for me every week. I invested my first $1,000 into bitcoin and Mrs. Clarice helped me manage my account to success making $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined after much loss in the past. God walked me through the entire process from start to fin”

“I was pleasantly surprised that they offered soft serve as well, although only in vanilla or chocolate. I had the peanut butter sundae and it was delicious. Not a ton of available seating, especially when it’s crowded, but what a great location - just walk over to the park and use the trail along the lake, makes for a perfect summer evening.”

“From 24 hours away this is the spot we came to wings are super crispy beers are cold and bartender is super friendly. I thank Cody for all his friendship and hospitality all those guidance on fishing the pier and all those guidance on the best alcohol to drink if you’ve never been to New York, and you decide to come check out Jose and Willie‘s on the pier!!!!”

“Would definitely recommend! Stopped while in town for the weekend and was glad we did. Everything was really good, friendly staff and quick service. Mac plate as is with pulled pork... 👍👍 delicious!”

“Great local spot. Very good menu, rotating beer taps and very helpful / friendly staff. When we can't decide on dinner we stop here, rotating specials are a bonus. Rarely is there a wait too”

“Celebrated my birthday at Casa de Pasta and it was great. My husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and made a great martini. At our table, our waitress seemed new but was friendly and the service was pleasant. The herbed whipped butter and bread were great. My gnocchi with a meatball was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his seafood fra diavolo. Very nice way to celebrate a birthday date night!”

“The food is decent, but a few items i got, i barely at bc it just wasn't tasting right or texture was off.

Vegetarian options: The sweet sour chicken and the red sauce it cones w were delicious but lacked portion size. I ordered it large and felt it was a small”

“Great brewpub on the lake. Nice selection of their beers on tap, and the bartender offered to let us try a sip before committing. Food was unexpectedly great. $3 taco's on Taco Tuesdays is a great deal.”

“My boyfriend and I decided to try Nick’s for dinner tonight. We were very pleased from the front door service/seating to our waitress Annmarie. She was fantastic at recommending drinks and our main course. The atmosphere had a cool jazz club with the ambiance and music. We highly recommend the prime rib! We will definitely be repeat customers”

“the Mexican sundae is out of this world yummy!!!”

“Food was good service was decent. place was deserted. looks as if they get no business. Please support your local businesses before we lose the places we love.”

“Absolutely great team of people and my food was hot and fresh and just good to the last bite. Keep up the good work. When I am in the area I certainly will be back again.”

“This is hands down, the BEST Starbucks in the Rochester area. I’ve frequented many in Rochester and in my travels. This Starbucks is hands down one of the best-run locations I’ve been to, because of the store manager, and what she does with the team. it’s clean, organized, and the energy is actually good which is rare. The drinks are consistently on point, made quickly, and you can tell the team actually cares about what they’re doing. They make the drive thru FUN! The baristas KNOW good customer service, and I attribute this to management. A lot of Starbucks lack on this - not this store.
The store manager herself sets that tone. She’s attentive, kind, and clearly leads her team in a way that makes people want to show up and do well. It shows in every interaction whether it’s a regular or someone coming in for the first time.
It’s the kind of place where you don’t just grab coffee. It enjoyable there!
If you’re anywhere near this location, it’s 100% worth going out of your way for.”

“I love what the new management has done with keeping the store open later. Very convenient for my mid-afternoon coffee craving. Only issue is the new lids don't really stay closed and then when you drive over a pothole your drink will spill.”

“I tell ya...this was absolutely amazing..I had the shrimp and penne , pasta was cooked perfectly, the flavors were amazing, the veggies popped....my girl got a burger ...again it was perfect. This was food tonight that ya kept eating even though you are full....and i tell ya, we got an appetizer as well and even with that we may have spent an extra 8-10 dollars.. total than we would have paid for crappy fast food ..and the portions are HUGE! so if we didn't get the appetizer and the tip.....it would have been about the same price ya would have spent for fast food ..thank you Applebee's crew. We had curbside take out.”

“My wife and I love going to the Hive not only for the food, which is always consistently delicious but the friendly and accommodating staff. We also love the customers because it's like being in an episode of "Cheers" (if anyone remembers that show) Everyone Knows Your Name!!! Highly recommended!!!”
