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!“

“Best coffee, shakes, and teas ever!! Came here while in Rochester for a graduation and we came in every day while in town. The drinks were absolutely amazing and low calorie with the perfect amount of sweetness. We got the cookie dough coffee, Bahama mama, lilac cooler, strawberry shortcake shake, and banana cream shake - I recommend all of those. The staff was very knowledgeable and gave the best recommendations. 100/10 definitely recommend! Wish they had more locations so I could try everything“

“Some good news for a Sunday morning! Nancy and I have been isolating after a visit with our grandkids. We normally take our morning walk to Matilda’s for my red eye and Nancy’s cappuccino. This morning the doorbell rang and there was Gretchen from Matilda’s with our coffee! She said they missed us and wanted to check in with us! What a surprise! (She also brought an apple turnover (the best I have had)!) People, wherever you live, there are small businesses that depend on your support. In these difficult times, they need us more than ever. Please do what you can to create community wherever you live. Peace.“

“Give the pastry chef a RAISE!

A recently discovered gem for me. I ordered the prosciutto and mozzarella croissant , herby artichoke danish, and a cinnamon roll. It was all outstanding.

The croissant and danish were as delicate a mother coddling her newborn baby. So tender, light, and just so incredibly wholesome. It makes you want to have a newborn baby in your hands, it's that good.

And don't get me started on the THICC cinnamon roll. They are double cheeked up and topped with a non traditional icing that is smooth, a bit fluffy and a little messy ? the actual roll is soft and tender, just like ... well you can use your imagination!

Pearson's is money and the pastry chef and bread man know what is up.“

“Nice quaint place. Didn't eat here, didn't look like much in dinner food. Great atmosphere hippie like, real cool. The band was Woody Dodge gotta check em out. There really isn't service, it's walk up service, no complaints.“

A big thank you again to Mike and Sara and Olivia our bartender .👋👋👋“

Give her a call or stop by the Southwedge Farmers market on Gregory Street, Thursdays between 4-7PM or better yet go and visit her at Ludwig's Center Stage Cafe. Its time for all of us to get back to living life and supporting the businesses that make Rochester unique, + the best pickles ever. I promise you won't be disappointed.“
