50 Best Coffee Shops near East Rochester

“I come to this location when I need a good zip of caffeine and a bite to eat while I spend some time reading and the staff has always been so sweet and pleasant. I love hearing them laugh and get along, it makes the atmosphere so pleasant to be in. I’ve never been made to feel like a bother when asking for a complicated drink or special order. I love coming here and will absolutely be back. The manager on duty is always so nice and the store feels clean. (Some of the audacious customers with a wild sense of entitlement are a trip, but I always see the staff handle them with grace)“

“I wasn’t sure what I was in the mood for and the Manager asked me a few questions then wiped up a toast almond cold coffee. She was awesome! Coffee was great.“

“Great place ‼️Like the food and the portions are great and I love the atmosphere.“

“Best breakfast sammies and pastries in the city, and they make it all from scratch in-house!“

“Started coming here a couple of months ago because I started running earlier in the morning to escape the heat. It's such a cozy place to take a nice break, grab an iced coffee, pineapple coconut energy drink, or some ice tea. The staff are super friendly and the drinks are really tasty. They also open an hour earlier than the other coffee shops in the village, which is a huge plus. HIGHLY recommend.“

“I stopped over as I'm not much of a coffee person, so i ordered a apricot pastry claw. I liked it. Friendly staff, it was full this afternoon on South Avenue but they have a decent system to move folks along.“

“Great coffee in a lovely atmosphere! The workers were so kind and knowledgable about the different coffees they serve. I got the Pandan lattee and it was so good! I'm definitely coming back again. This seems like a great place to bring a book, relax and read.“

“New coffee spot for sure!“

“Seriously the best coffee I have ever had. I travel all over the Southeast and Northeast. You just don’t find those the full, rich and distinctive flavors anywhere else. I am returning to my beloved Fl in Sept of ‘24. I will be bringing several bags with me, then ordering online.“

“Awesome Food! Homemade Cooking. Highly Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love this place! Coffee with a purpose!!!“

“Every time I go to Clownboy, I wish it was closer to where I work or live, but that's more of a me problem. My most recent visit sealed the deal on why I need to just make the trip periodically.

This is a fully vegan coffee shop. I am not vegan but I am lactose intolerant so it's a treat to order from a menu with reckless abandon and not having to worry whether my coffee would be better with traditional milk. I think Clownboy is on par with many of the local coffee shops in the area quality-wise. I believe they make many (if not all) of their syrups in house, which is greatly enjoyed and appreciated. My personal favorite is the Dale Cooper, a cold brew with fig and walnut bitters. It's not sweet and has a subtle almost smoky finish. It's sophisticated and reminds me of a cocktail in a way. I have dabbled with a few other drinks on the menu and enjoyed them as well, but the Dale Cooper is my jam.

The vibe in the cafe is great. It's fun, welcoming and colorful. Local artists have work displayed for sale. I am more of a grab and go coffee drinker by default, but I could totally see myself chilling here for a while if the mood struck.

There are a few very small things I wish were different (limited seating, street parking), but on a nice day, I don't mind a little walk and a coffee to go.“

“Fast service and delicious food and drinks. I have stopped by for coffee a couple of times, which they have wonderful flavor combinations, but I finally got their breakfast food. The breakfast burrito was filling and came with perfectly crisp tortilla chips and a side of salsa. A very cozy cafe to sit in and enjoy your time“

“My passion for coffee shops is still alive and kicking and Canaltown Coffee Roasters didn’t dampen that passion. It’s nice to visit a real coffee roaster’s.

Val was fantastic. For my partner Val recommended a Cuban Double Espresso and that Plant Milk was the best alternative for the Apple Dirty Chai. He thoroughly enjoyed his drinks.

I ordered the Caramel Spice Latte and it was delicious.

The service was good. There is plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside. Loved the cute fresh flower arrangements on the tables.

A very chilled out cafe with friends chatting away and people working quietly on laptops.

There is plenty of parking.“

“We ordered breakfast through Grubhub and were blown away by the quality and flavor of everything we tried. We got the Vegan Chesswell Breakfast Panini and substituted provolone for the vegan cheese. The sundried tomato spread added a bright note without overpowering the other ingredients, and the whole sandwich was delicious. My friend, who split it with me, said it was the best sandwich he’d ever had—and one was definitely enough for two people.

We also ordered the Vegan Superior Gone Green, which my wife loved, and the Aztec Mocha Latte, which was absolutely perfect. They balance their flavors so well. We’ll happily order from them again.“

“Live it all. From the service from the employees to the product! Always a 5 ⭐️“

“A hidden gem! The food was delicious and friendly staff. Check them out.“

“Great quality Coffee. Highly recommend.“

“My friend and I went here for brunch and the food was fantastic. My photo of the duck croque madame doesn’t show you how much duck bacon they stuffed inside; the fattiness of the bacon is cut by the mornay sauce. My friend got the flavored coffee with their version of the garbage plate and he got free refills on the coffee.

I would suggest coming near opening time because when we left around 11 AM, there was a decent gathering in the waiting room.“

“The guy behind the counter really made my day: Thanks Jordan #Starbucks“

“Really enjoyed this spot in town. Simple dishes, but you have a lot of options to
customize your order. The set menu is excellent value with its portions, choice of accompaniment, and a drink. The kimbap kit is a definite hit with the kids!“

“I placed a mobile order today, and for some reason, we realized after I waited 20 minutes for my coffee, that the order unfortunately never printed out on their end. Long story short, they made my coffee on the spot, AND the manager gave me a gift card to order my next order on them! Great coffees, and even better customer service at this location!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I quite literally cannot recommend The Old Farm Cafe highly enough. The service, food/drink, and atmosphere are all fantastic. As a Disney lover, this truly feels like the closest thing to immersive dining in Rochester and I can’t WAIT to go back. Need a place for a date? Old Farm Cafe. Need somewhere to take the kids? Old Farm Cafe. Meeting a friend for lunch? Old Farm Cafe. You get the picture. It’s perfect for everything!!!“

“Believe the hype! We went to the Penfield location specifically to try the Cuban menu. The restaurant was sparkling clean and the service was excellent. Four of us ordered different Cuban dishes, while my two youngest ordered off the kids menu. The portions were huge - even the fresh fruit side dishes for the kids! Everything was delicious. The whole time, our table was just a chorus of "Mmm!" while reaching over and trying food off of each other's plates. We will definitely be back!“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

“Very busy and high-demand Starbucks location. There’s almost always a steady flow of people, so it’s not the best spot if you’re looking to sit quietly and relax with a cup of coffee.

However, it’s a great grab-and-go location. Fast service despite the heavy customer volume, orders move efficiently, and it’s very convenient to stop by and pick up a latte on the way.

Well organized, practical, and reliable when you need coffee without delays.“

“The girl working on Thursday, July 10th at 2:30 in the afternoon had excellent customer service! I was waiting in line for my drink and it was taking a little, they were definitely busy and I can’t blame them! When my drink came, the girl handed me two Starbucks gift cards on them.“

“Love this Starbucks! The baristas are genuinely kind, remember regulars, and always make my drink just right. You can tell they care about customer experience. Highly recommend stopping here! The manager is awesome, she is kind and friendly.“

“My favorite place to go. Fantastic place to meet new people and stumble upon connections you’d never expect.“

“The food was top notch! And customer service was wonderful!“

“Almost perfect, but they wouldn't let me use a My Little Pony as the name on my drink.“

“The best EVER! The donuts, Salvatore’s slice and world class service from the kindest ever, Chantel!“

“Good coffee. friendly workers. very clean environment. I will recommend to everyone.“
