“Cheesy Eddie’s has the best desserts in Rochester by far. Their carrot cake is to die for and their cheesecakes come in so many delicious flavors. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and genuinely so nice. They are also incredibly careful with allergies, so I always feel safe enjoying their desserts. This place is a must if you love great desserts!“

“carbo heaven. wonderful sweet and savory items. i'm thrilled that we're past winter farmer's market. Crust's items are divine!“

“Just stopped by here today and grabbed two loaves of focaccia. Not exaggerating, this is the BEST bread I’ve had in my life. Do yourself a favor and stop by here as soon as you can to grab some delicious home made bread. They also have a variety of local items as well and I picked up some dog treats and pies from crust.“

“Delicious cupcakes and frosted sugar cookies, all gluten free“

“From time to time work brings me into Rochester. During a trip my co-worker brought me to Georgie’s for an amazing Cubano w/chicharrones. I enjoyed the food and chats with Georgie. Stand-up guy with an amazing café. So glad to see him and his family putting amazing food out after all of these years. You will not be disappointed!“

“This woman is Amazing in the cake she made me for my New Year’s Eve reception. She . I sent her a picture and she made me a cake 🎂 of my dream. I literally screamed in excitement when I picked it up. She went way beyond the call of duty. Making me a custom base that lights. She worked in my budget and everyone at my reception loved it so much because how unique it was and wanted her into to order!!!“

“Cheesy Eddie’s is truly the best of the best! The desserts are amazing, the people are incredibly kind, and the service is outstanding. I’ve ordered many desserts from here, but I wanted to share my experience with a custom cake I recently ordered.

I came in with an idea and a vision, and they brought it to life perfectly. The cake not only looked incredible, but it tasted just as amazing. It was a total hit at the party and truly stood out.

I’m so grateful to Andrea, the cake decorator, for helping bring my vision to life, and to the rest of the staff for being so wonderful during pickup. If Cheesy Eddie’s hasn’t been part of your special occasions (or any time you’re craving dessert), you’re doing it wrong. 10/10 recommend!“

“Cute little Macaron shop! Great flavor choices“

“Always very good. Cookies are warm and large when picked up. ( only had one cookie that was cold. Totally worth the money. Cute boxes too!“

“Fantastic pies, cookies, everything!“

“Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life it is so so soooooooo good it is almost orgasmic, just thinking about it I am drooling 🤤 a mist try if you are a cheesecake fan ! Also tried the banana bread it is really yummy and those ginger turmeric bar are also really yummy. The bread is different a little like a pumpernickel I really liked it ! Love this place it’s one of the hidden gems of ROC glad we tried it ❤️“

“The best pastry shop around! They’ve done my wedding shower, wedding, baby shower, gender reveals and more! I couldn’t recommend them more!“

“Lynn’s desserts are absolutely delicious, and she is an amazing person to work with. I found Lynn when I was searching for someone to do the desserts for my upcoming wedding. From our first correspondence, she was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. When we received our tasting box, we were amazed at the quality, texture, moistness, and overall taste of ALL the cupcakes she provided. Hands down, Delectable Desserts is the absolute best!!“

“Oh Sunny Six Grain how I love thee.... My favorite bread of theirs, and the breakfast sandwich is so good even my grumpy 15 year old will get up early for one!“

“Scratch has made quite a few different desserts for my family and they have gone above and beyond expectation every time. Just when you think their cakes are the best you’ve ever had, their cookies and fresh doughnuts enter the arena too. 🤣 I cannot stress enough about how great their treats and staff are. ❤️“

“Lily is a wonderful woman, my husband has been helping her with some things around her bakery so he wanted to introduce her to our family which is why we were there. To thank him for his help she is always sending us some of her delicious baked goods. I highly recommend stopping in and checking out what she has.“

“Best chocolate babka ever. They do a wonderful job catering too. We used them for my son’s post-wedding breakfast and we heard nothing but great things about the food!“

“Great strombolis; customer service slow to reply when a problem arises (20 weeks in my complaint's case) but they WILL respond to a valid complaint. Patience is definitely a virtue here - I'm thinking they're swamped and/or understaffed (it would explain both their response time AND the mistake that had prompted my complaint).“

“Wish there was an option for heat at home on the online ordering form. Even when I order ahead, I end up having to wait for them to put it together as there's always only one person working.

It's also SUPER cramped in there. Like I'm not sure I'd be able to fit my mobility aid, so I send in my partner, it's so tight.

Even when doing a BYO and paying extra, the toppings can seem stingy at times.

But the rolls are amazing and I love trying new icing flavors. Definitely give them a try, even if you aren't vegan!“

“great bread, rolls, cookies, missed them, drive far to purchase very good pastry at the best price around“

“Just had these at the Public Market during the food truck rodeo. Easily the best apple cider donut I’ve ever had. And I lived on an apple farm growing up that made these types of donuts fresh everyday lol. Would highly recommend getting them and eating them hot!“

“Brads Cookie Nook has the best cookies. My sister was thrilled to get a special delivery for Christmas in Ohio!“

“Love this place. Wonderful selection of tasty fresh breads, pies, cakes, and cookies. Get there early in the day for the best selection, or order ahead once you have seen their selections. Parking behind the building, often scant. The back door is no longer open so you have to thread your away around to the front door.“

“The absolute best customer service you could ask for! Kellie was amazing to work with, so kind and responsive. I wouldn't order my cakes from anywhere else!“

“An iconic Little Italy Neighborhood business with delicious bread and sweets!“

“We purchased several pies for Thanksgiving. The prices were great, the service exceptional but one of the pies won’t be making it too Thanksgiving... because I couldn’t resist the pecan pie. It’s amazing! I will be ordering pies from here every Thanksgiving for now on ❤️“

“Happy Gut Sanctuary is a relaxing space to gather with friends or have a relaxing moment to yourself. The vibes are impeccable. The staff is friendly, caring, and attentive. The beverages are to die for—and you can even do a little shopping on top of all of that! Highly recommend—there is something for everyone !“

“Stopped into SoHo Bagels & Café, tucked away in the old Stoneridge Plaza, after my wife was craving lox and bagels. Safe to say the craving was handled perfectly.

She ordered the lox and salmon bagel sandwich with cream cheese and a side of potato salad, and it was exactly what you want from a place that takes bagels seriously. Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned without feeling overdone. I kept it simple with a garlic herb cream cheese on a multigrain bagel, and sometimes simple is the right move. The bagel had a great texture and the cream cheese had just the right balance of flavor.

We both had cappuccinos, which paired really well with the meal and rounded everything out nicely.

The café itself has a quaint, relaxed feel. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually slow down for a bit instead of feeling rushed in and out. Comfortable, welcoming, and just a good overall vibe.

Great food, great atmosphere, and definitely a place we’ll return to. Highly recommended.“

“Food was delicious!!! Staff was very friendly and working hard. Desserts are unbelievable- you must try. Go there!!!“

“The food is amazing. The service is great, and the eggnog latte is to die for.“

“I’ve always had wonderful experiences at this crumbl location, on both sides of the counter! As a die-hard crumbl fan, I like this location the best in Rochester. This week I tried the Dubai chocolate cookie with crispy pistachio, it was simply fantastic. The cookies are always beautiful, and I’ve always had kind and prompt service from staff. Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!“

“Nasturtium decoration on the soup. Both were yummy.“

“Ordered 3/4 dozen of cannolis and they were just as good as I remember.“

“Love Special T cakes! Definitely recommend them, great food and great staff.“

“My daughter and I love going here when we are in the area. The food is always delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“I needed 100 mini quesitos on short notice for my mom’s funeral. I think I spoke to the owner and he was incredibly kind and helpful. The ordering and pickup process was so much easier than I expected. Much credit for his professionalism.

I want to give them all the love and gratitude I can. Besides the quality and deliciousness of the pastries, I appreciate their kindness. And the price was excellent. It’s obvious that they’re a staple on the east side of Rochester, but I pray for even more prosperity for their business because they’re one of the few businesses that don’t just do it for the money. They do it from the heart. I’m super grateful that they were willing to help me AND deliver a great product when others would have probably given a half hearted effort. God bless them and their business.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ me encantó lo rápido y delicioso que preparó mi orden“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“I'm a Wegmans girl . they are the BEST 🙂“

“It's not quite like Tim's in Canada, but close. You can't order double-double/triple-triple, you have to doctor it yourself 😓. And they don't have steeped tea, just tea bags like anywhere else. But, the tea does taste about right once it's ready, just a little more hassle to get there.

They are very friendly at this location.“

“Thank you so much Sam who helped shovel my car out Monday morning, you went absolutely above and beyond, I hope your pillow is cool when you go to sleep and that you have the best day ever. The world is better because you're in it! <3“

“I ordered the Buffalo Bills pizza for the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. First off, they contacted me when the game was rescheduled and offered accommodations so that I could get the pizza and bake it myself as they weren’t open on Monday when the game would be played. THEN called back again to let me know they were going to open on Monday after all and scheduled a time for me to pick up my pizza. Awesome customer service and only outdone by the delicious pizza!! Fair price as well!! I would highly recommend Savastano’s , give them a try you won’t be disappointed!!! 5 ⭐️’s“
