“I have been visiting this place since it has opened in 2025 and the environment is very enjoyable. You can invite your family, friends, even a first date, and have a good time eating a wide variety of ice cream and drink some awesome drinks. The fall season apple cider slushie and the spring season strawberry lemonade has solidified a place in my heart. The owners are receptive to community feedback and are overall good company.

This place is a must try if you are in the area.“

“Great egg sandwich and cappuccino“

“I got the breakfast burrito and it was 10 out of 10. I couldn’t finish it so I saved the rest for lunch. I would recommend this place. It is very good if you want somewhere that has good breakfast and lunch you should go here. It was so beautiful inside with their orange couch, friendly barista in a cook that makes amazing food.“

“Delicious gelato, plenty of comfortable seating outside and a few tables inside. Can combine flavors. Small 3 scoops, Medium 4 scoops, Large 5 scoops. You can also get a kiddie size (not on the menu) which is 1 scoop. The scoops are small and only 1 sample per person.“

“Best coffee & healthy food“

“Ok so the staff was great and the interior was clean and orderly. The issue is have is solely with the overwhelming flavor of banana in every single smoothie. All 3 of the ones we ordered had the same intensity of banana. None of the smoothies names would indicate a banana forward flavor other than the SB. Disappointing at the price point“

“Came in here to get some breakfast and coffee while waiting for a family member to have outpatient surgery. I was a little hesitant due to the poor reviews but that was unfounded. The atmosphere feels a little weird like it’s meant to be an office not a coffee shop but there was comfortable seating and I spent most of my time waiting during the surgery here. The coffee is Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters. I ordered a caramel macchiato which was excellent. I also had a little pizza bagel thing that was delicious. The staff working were lovely and my order was made super quick.“

“May 17th, 2026 at about 5:30 PM, I went right up to the counter and ordered 2 Kids Burger Meals, only $8 for burgers, fries, and drink, and it was Next Door Bar & Grill quality, probably the same supplier and recipe, so absolute top level burger. I had a $7 chicken sandwich which was half way between a Popeyes and a Chik-Fil-A Sandwich. I ordered a Corona to drink. I asked for a lime wedge in it, and although they didn't have pre-cut limes, they ran over to produce and grabbed a lime, then brought me out a wedge on a separate plate. My wife had a full sized burger that she also enjoyed. The employees were friendly and they bussed the table like it was a full service restaurant. I am so happy the live music of the Burger Bar is gone and we can eat our meals and talk in peace. I have already been back in the 11 days since then.“

“A huge thank you to the barista that noticed my daughter in tears and treated her with the kindest service ever. You changed her day.“

“I recommend everything!!“

“I shop around for the best subs since coming back home to the ROC after living in the ATL for 28 years and Pellegrino's has been the best so far... Shoutout to the evening cook Akeem and I didn't get the other guys name but YALL DID THAT... I ordered a heated roast beef, chicken philly and fries“

“Drinks, treats and staff are all fantastic. It would be 5 stars except the wait is insane. Unless you have minimum 30 mins (can be upwards of 45 and that is only to place and receive a coffee order, I’ve never attempted ordering food to be made for this very reason) to spare, try somewhere else. No matter time of day or day of the week there is always a long line that is slow moving and be sure you order to-go because there is limited seating and it’s always taken.“

“so fun! I've always loved claw machines and this is like a mecca! I've never seen so many in one place. I'm like a kid in a candy shop! it's cool that you can trade in your winnings for other prizes too“

“On Valentine’s Day I ordered 2 pastry rings from the Fairport store. When I got there there was only one! Jay, I presume the store manager, solved my problem in a way that was way beyond acceptable! He is genuinely kind and considerate! Hats off to him! This will not be forgotten!♥️“

“Shout out to Sophia at the Eastview location! Wonderful customer service!“

“When I go to Panera I always get the same thing. Mac and cheese in the bread bowl with the BBQ sandwich and a baguette. It's a lot of carbs but it is absolutely amazing everytime. The location is nice, the staff is okay. Overall I would highly recommend for a nice lunch or dinner in a cozy spot.“

“I recommend Panera in general but definitely not the Penfield Location. I am currently waiting for a smoothie & I hear them talking about how they shouldn’t have to clean out their blender after making a mango smoothie. I am deathly allergic to mango and the way they are talking about it absolutely horrible. Like yes I want that cleaned out so I don’t die“
