“Erin went absolutely above and beyond with our cookies and cherry cheesecake for our wedding! She was so easy to work with for our out of town wedding. We consider ourselves cheesecake connoisseurs, and that was far and away the best cheesecake we have ever had in our lives. My husband arrived 20 minutes early to pick everything up, and Erin had everything ready and waiting, and helped carry everything across the street and loaded it into the car. Please go see Erin at Vanilla Lane, she is wonderful!”

“Great coffee, and awesome scones! Get there early they tend to go fast. Staff is super friendly and courteous .”

“Close to stage seating. Not a bad seat in the house. Fast , friendly staff. Awesome , accommodating owner, James Shelly Top national bands. Great food. Very reasonable prices!”

“Our group of 6 had a wonderful experience last night for dinner. My wife and I had a full rack of their St. Louis pork ribs smothered in lingonberry BBQ sauce. The meat was perfectly cooked with a soft pull apart tenderness that left a clean bone. The sauce was great; if you like lightly sweetened lingonberries, you're going to love this. We also had an order of smoked cauliflower which was new to us. It was tasty and novel, almost like a meaty veggie. We also had pit beans and potato salad. All yummy and way too much so we brought a bunch of it home. So A+ on the food. Other highlights include friendly service (it wasn't busy so we had engaging conversations with the manager/server/host? - wish I had asked more about her role); overall aesthetic (nice old converted building with brick walls and high tin ceiling) and design theme (LOVE the 20th sci-fi comic book look); ordering simplicity (via QR code and Toast app, though it took our older friends a moment to figure it out); and beer choices (including Surly, from Minneapolis (we've visited their brewery - it's big and fun)). Great location with easy parking. Excellent experience all around. Highly recommended!”

“Love this place! Everyone is so nice, food is amazing and Jody is the bomb! She has been updating and adding her own touch to the place. It looks great. Thanks Jody & Bob !”

“This place has the soul most places wish they had. You either have it or you don't and this place has it. Great food, great prices, all the idiosyncrasies of the place you want it to be. Come eat here, breath the air, enjoy the feeling in the dinning room. It is a place of zen. Leave better than you came in”

“The owners a great and the foods killer”

“We love our Birdhouse! So glad they have wine! The food is always amazing but that Banh Mi with blackened tofu was killer🥪”

“The servers are friendly and efficient. the facility is very clean. The Ciders are outstanding, if you don't drink cider there is a huge list of options.”

“I stopped for an iced black coffee while passing through and it was fantastic. Tool home a freshly ground bag of coffee to make at home and it is some of the best coffee ever.”

“Was invited to attend a brunch for a friend's retirement. Had honestly driven by it a thousand times without ever stopping. Service was super attentive, food for the brunch was very good ordered mimosas and had a wonderful time”

“Decided to celebrate a special occasion so we chose this place. We had dined here before the current management and had great experiences. We informed the host that this was our first encounter here and were looking forward to it. We were seated in a VERY noisy area (we are older and most older folks appreciate a quieter dining environment usually). However, we were moved to a quieter table upon request. Which was wise as we had alternate plans if the seating wasn't suitable for us. When we are spending upwards of 200.00 for a meal out we expect a certain level of service. Our meals were very good, but the 'extras', bread and salad were lacking in substance and quality I'm afraid. Our server was adequate but not as attentive as we would have liked. (restaurant was not particularly busy at that time (5:00 PM). We will probably return here at some point but as there are so many other local options for dining out we will pursue those before returning here. Thank you.”

“Excellent subs”

“First time there. Recommended by my friends. Took the lady of the house out for her Birthday, . Very satisfied, with the service and food. Bathrooms very clean and well kept. Great atmosphere. Had the pizza and Mahi Mahi. Alos the steak salad, Just remember to say how you like your meat. Or it will be served on the rare side. Will surely good back without hesitation.”

“I just found the best turkey sub on the face of the Earth”

“we love this place. everyone working there is kind and friendly. they go out of their way for their customers. great food for the price. it's our favorite place hands down”

“Have debated going for months, the price adds up quickly for multiple people (myself and 3 kids) but finally decided to try it today. Such a cozy little place. Amazing selection of food and drinks, everything is customizable, very friendly employees, quality is absolutely worth the cost. Will definitely be back, probably frequently because I need to try alllll of the things 😁”

“Thank you to the very kind lady, that paid for our lunch today, on veterans day, made my husband veterans day extra special”

“I love the cozy atmosphere and the coffee is great!”

“It was our first time at this brewery and vintage bowling alley and we had a blast! Bowled for three hours, had some excellent beers and cocktails, and finished the evening with some fantastic food! The veggie burger (tho a little spicy) was amazing. My husband raved about the Buffalo chix egg rolls. Kids loved the mozz sticks. Overall, highly recommend this place and looking forward to going back!”

“Thank you SO MUCH for carrying vegan food. The beyond burgers and vegan “shrimp” were so good.”

“Always the best ice cream”

“This was a bucket list stop while we were in the Rochester area and it did not disappoint. Great location with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and accommodating. As expected the beer was outstanding. They do such a nice job with so many different styles. We would be here a lot if we lived in the area.”

“This is my favorite place to be! The staff is even better. Kristi is such an amazing worker. My favorite place to train dogs and most important have a few drinks 🫶🐾🍺 Thank you guys!!!”

“Absolutely STUNNING. I purchased cupcakes from The Cake Place in March 2026 for my sister's baby shower. I sent in inspiration pictures and what i received was 10x BETTER. And they tasted amazing!!!

Beyond the fact that these cupcakes were gorgeous AND delicious, Melissa was so easy to work with and very accommodating!! An unexpected family emergency meant that we potentially had to move the date of the shower, and Melissa was so kind and willing to work with me through it.

I will be using The Cake Place in the future!!

The lighting was a bit warm in the venue, so the first 2 photos are most accurate in terms of how they looked.”
