“Excellent in every possible way!The food is excellent every time, in both quality and consistency. Salads, breakfast sandwiches, soups and wraps—all made from fresh and high quality ingredients! Even the simplest menu item is sure to please! The Lobster Bisque is especially out of this world and hard to beat. I tour all over Rochester as a private food critique and have yet to find a better one. You have to be early and you have to be quick because this soup gold can only be snatched—on Fridays! ( Come on L&B give the people more LB! )The service at Leaf & Bean is always friendly and expedited well. Leaf & Bean is clean, organized and well maintained. The owner frequents the store and I have seen him play many rolls to keep this cafe’ thriving. The atmosphere is happening at mealtime yet completely inspiring for this local author’s out of house writing time. It’s a great spot (indoors or out) to knock out a few hours of editing, personal business or in-person mentoring. I love my in house Double Cappuccino Italiano, and my husband can’t rave enough of their Cronuts!Their packaged cookie provider, “Jacks Sweet Shack,” whom bakes from a local kitchen, is a delicious addition that allows this town to support yet another local entrepreneur.Leaf & Bean Coffee Co. is Chili New York’s secret gem, make the stop!“
“I just had one of the best breakfast sandwiches of my life here. Southwestern on ciabatta with tomatoes and onions. The food is always good, the people are always pleasant, and it’s a great atmosphere. I will stop here Saturday mornings before volunteering (shameless plug: Wild Wings Animal Sanctuary and Rehab) and it’s not just routine, I love this place.“
“Everyone claims to have good service, but Artisan Coffeehouse has world-class service. The workers here have an excellent process for filling orders and their communication when their point-of-sale system has an error is phenomenal. Their baked goods and breakfast sandwiches are also a nice addition to any morning beverage!“
“We held an event and wanted a caterer to help us develop a “brain-healthy” menu. Chef Norman Brown created a delicious lunch of salmon patties and spinach salad (among other things) for our group at a reasonable price. We appreciated all the thought and effort that went into the menu. Our guests raved about the food. We’ve been back for lunches since then. Delish!“
“Great rural diner. You will not be ripped off! Above average portions, fresh coffee, good service. Only complaint is that the are closed on Monday and Tuesday, so we had to go to Leroy for breakfast. Went twice in one week, keep up the good work.“
“Everything was amazing and we'll definitely be back. My only recommendation for atmosphere would be a gate to enclose the kids area. It's so hard to visit with friends when you have multiple children and they keep beelining out of the play area. Other than that, everything was so cool. The food was good and coffees were delicious. My friend and I were both impressed.“
“1872 delivers again and again. This has been a favorite spot of mine for a while because of its ambience, AMAZING and clearly-marked vegan options, welcoming owners and staff, and convenient location for me in an otherwise underserved neighborhood. Go on a Saturday morning when it's quieter to catch up with a friend or get deep work done (wifi available for customers). The chickpea tuna sandwich is my absolute favorite, but the vegan burger and French onion soup are close seconds for me. My husband and friends rave about their non-vegan options as well, like their downtown steak sub. Owners May and Paul are so welcoming and they've really created a gem here.Vegetarian options: AMAZING and clearly-marked vegan options. The chickpea tuna sandwich is my absolute favorite, but the vegan burger and French onion soup are close seconds for me.“
“Best sandwiches and cheese Danish I may have ever had. And I've had my share in NYC for 10 years. Maybe it's just been that long I babe remember, but these were killer. Ciabatta was so airy and light and buttery, filling was juicy and flavorful. Danish was lightly crispy on the outside layer and soft and warm on the inside, super fluffy, and huge! Sugared top. I had a coconut hazelnut latte that was delicious and my son had a fantastic mint milkshake. Wish we didn't live 1.5hrs away.“
