50 Best Coffee Shops in Rochester

“Great coffee in a lovely atmosphere! The workers were so kind and knowledgable about the different coffees they serve. I got the Pandan lattee and it was so good! I'm definitely coming back again. This seems like a great place to bring a book, relax and read.“

“Best breakfast sammies and pastries in the city, and they make it all from scratch in-house!“

“My workplace had a party this past Saturday evening at this restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! The food was spectacular! Liza took care of us all evening and she was absolutely amazing too! I highly recommend this place.“

“This has become my home away from home. Either flying solo or bringing family or friends along, my visits always leave me feeling elevated. Their elixirs and welcoming staff are so uplifting.“

“The staff is so friendly and the food was fantastic!!!“

“Tall fluffy hair boy makes good coffee and is cute asf, I’m js“

“place has gone down hill... got a black and blue to go, it was burned to a crisp, and gave me the wrong sauce. miss the old owners“

“Very good coffee and crew!“

“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.“

“loved it. the iced mocha is much better than Starbucks, and the chicken basil wrap it great.“

“Love this place! Coffee with a purpose!!!“

“New coffee spot for sure!“

“Seriously the best coffee I have ever had. I travel all over the Southeast and Northeast. You just don’t find those the full, rich and distinctive flavors anywhere else. I am returning to my beloved Fl in Sept of ‘24. I will be bringing several bags with me, then ordering online.“

“the place feels very homey. the menu is interesting as i've never tried most of the dishes they had on there. I got a dish that came with eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, and potatoes. it had really delicious gravy on the side. the server was great as well. will be coming back“

“The fact that there is mostly the same menu but vegan is so great (and the organization makes it so easy). Aside from the fake bacon, all the vegan food is delicious, and it’s not that the fake bacon is bad — it’s just not my cup of tea.

THE SALT ROLLS ARE TO DIE FOR.

Whenever I drive back from Colorado (we’re talking a 24hr drive) this is one of the places I look forward to the most. I come at least 3 times while here and I leave with a goodie bag full of salt rolls and [vegan] snacks from the vendors.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the service, vibes, and all around experience.

To Tree Town — Thank you for all the upgrades; the lengthened hours made stopping in much easier and the physical menus are very helpful! I can’t wait to come back and see what you guys have enhanced the next time I’m home. 🫶“

“Live it all. From the service from the employees to the product! Always a 5 ⭐️“

“Went in for dinner tonight for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE! A wide variety of drinks and food! Staff was attentive and friendly. They answered any questions we had about the menu. Even though it’s not sit down service the staff still brought us extra plates when needed and offered cups of water which was nice! Food came out fresh and hot! We will return again for more!! :)“

“We have been customers for 21 years and even though we are no longer there, I love that we can order a little piece of home to be sent our way. Thank you for helping my spouse to create such a special birthday by sending our favorite flavors of Snicker doodle and Jamaican Me Crazy all the way across the USA! They even arrived in beautiful blue bags that just happened to match his blue bday themed gifts.“

“I enjoyed the delicious rich taste of the variety of coffee flavors from this Gloria jeans. thank you for the unique experience from this store. Top quality store shopping experience. ordering is always easy, and quick and fast service. I highly recommended this store.“

“The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and courteous!“

“I quite literally cannot recommend The Old Farm Cafe highly enough. The service, food/drink, and atmosphere are all fantastic. As a Disney lover, this truly feels like the closest thing to immersive dining in Rochester and I can’t WAIT to go back. Need a place for a date? Old Farm Cafe. Need somewhere to take the kids? Old Farm Cafe. Meeting a friend for lunch? Old Farm Cafe. You get the picture. It’s perfect for everything!!!“

“Got a cup of house blend today and all day kept thinking about what a great cup of coffee it was. Highly recommend.“

“Ok so people don’t understand how to rate an establishment on Google… people, your rating needs to be based on where you are and relative to that environment: if you’re in a mall looking for fine dining… guess what? You’re not going to be happy (generally speaking). Likewise, if you’re in an airport and want cheap, high quality food… guess what? You’re going to be disappointed.

Gusto is not cheap, but it is high quality, handmade food, with what seem to be high quality ingredients. Furthermore, the staff and ambiance/seating/atmosphere of Gusto is a 10/10 (for an airport). They do a terrific job here. Had the chicken pesto panini (and three beers) and it was fabulous. Will eat here again.“

“This place is so convenient, the staff are friendly and competent, the coffee is delicious! And their breakfast sandwiches huge and yummy! I recommend 10 out of 10!“

“Jenny's quickly became a regular Saturday morning treat for my fiance and I. The staff have always been very kind, and I think they've started recognizing us ar regulars, which is always fun. The drinks are so tasty, it's one of the two best chai lattes in the Rochester area in my opinion! My fiance adores the melon breads and we both enjoy the beef sausage bread. The croffles are also to die for! Definitely worth the trip.“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

“I really had to write a review about the excellent customer service at the airport Dunkin’ Donuts. India and Jamel were amazing! They’re so professional, and the most important thing admire is the service with a smile. As a Business owner, I would definitely want them in my establishment.“

“Pearsons is seriously so yummy and always impresses me! The pastries are just incredible, especially Herby Artichoke Danish and After Dark Cookie. They always exceed my expectations like crazy! And the Pumpkin Butterscotch Latte was amaze. The little tiny bench outside was a perfect spot for me to sit and kick my feet ^_^“

“I really appreciate the kindness and enthusiasm from the employees. I was having a tough day and was waiting for my order, and the nicest barista walked my order over to me. Small acts of kindness matter in this world, and this Starbucks knows what's up!“

“The most delicious coffee, best customer service, and local art for sale on the walls. Highly recommend! I bring everyone I know here.“

“The Mrs. and I were first-timers. I had a Whole Wheat Everything 🥯 with Jalapeño cream cheese. Just incredible!! 😋 We took home the awesome deal they're running RN - $20 for a baker's dozen Bagels + 3 pastries!! 😉 We'll be back! 🙂“

“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 !“

“Thank You Starbucks Employees for bringing a spot of joy to my daily life in a very stressful time. Stay Safe!!“

“I like this location. The people are very friendly, great energy and usually are on top of the orders. Today, I’m sad to report that when I received my order, I was disappointed. I ordered an everything bagel with avocado spread, hash browns and a sweet tea. Half my bagel didn’t have the spread on it at all and the hash brown were warm on top and mushy and cold in the middle. Because I’m at work, I wasn’t able to go back to ask for another bagel & hash browns, so it’s a big inconvenience.“

“Great menu with a lot of gluten free options. Will definitely be back.“

“Almost perfect, but they wouldn't let me use a My Little Pony as the name on my drink.“

“Every Starbucks is different but a lot of places create a great environment, Pennfield on route 441 is the best one I have been too, followed by; Irondequoit, NY, and Mt Hope Avenue, NY route 15? However competitive places have been getting better and providing great coffee at lower prices.... Food is always consistent but prices are ridiculous for the portion size, so that's why I only rated it a 3. Buy a French press from Starbucks for home, with it's protective covering it prevents easy breakage by all glass units from popular brands.... I look at Starbucks as more of a treat.“

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop on campus. They serve finger lakes coffee and light snacks along with shakes. I would advise against eating the food as I have noticed that it tends to sit in the fisplay case over night, sometimes for about a week before it "disappears" for new stuff. The service is quick and professional.“

“best coffee in the city!“

“Cutest shop around and everything is delicious! Love going on weekends for the breakfast sandwiches!“

“The Tim Hortons on East Henrietta Rd. across from Suburban Plaza is the one I go to most often as it's the closest one to my house. The service there is the best of any location I've gone to...consistently. Always pleasant and up beat!“

“Huge shout out to Alexa who helped coordinate my large order. Despite an error on my end, all ended up great! Alexa was patient and kind - we had many happy employees upon delivery today! ❤️“

“Amazing! A great feel in one of our most modern stores. Great work, Team!“

“Java's is a Rochester gem. Friendly staff, lots of options on menu, warm inviting atmosphere. Big fan of this place.“

“The young lady working this afternoon was a great blessing to me as I'd been working all night and going first thing this morning I'm so exhausted. She made sure that I had enough to eat and was very professional. Even the young man who was with her did a great job in serving me. Very satisfied customer as it's not the first time I've been in this Dunkin and every time it's been a wonderful experience. Thank you young lady and young man for such great serve. ?? The photo is of the thing I love to eat the most from Dunkin Snackin'Bacon and Frozen chocolate ?.“

“Great prices, great portions and love the friendly people!“

“Consistent , love the staff“

“It's a super clean place with people on their laptops at every table. Orders get out relatively quickly despite long lines (you'll wait ten minutes tops from line to drink-in-hand). The only downside is this place doesn't accept Starbucks rewards points for free drinks, etc., hence the four instead of five star rating.“

“My daughter and I’s favorite place to have coffee and breakfast!“

“Short review: *service: excellent and friendly. *preparation food: perfect every single time.
*cost: wallet friendly.
Long review: I have passed through this Tim Horton everyday during the week for the pass 6 or more months, I order cappuccinos, artisan buns toasted with butter, and more. Every time cappuccinos are perfect, and they never fail having artisan buns which I always have troubles finding in other stores. They accommodate with any changes on any item we had ordered. Employees are friendly and cordial at least the morning employees, such as Sule, Jay, and honestly every morning employee I find during the weekday are the best. Telling you, I will keep passing every morning, to get my cappuccino and sandwich because they don’t fail. Thank you for making the start of my day greatly.“
