“Very welcoming, cute and cozy! The person who served me was very nice and friendly. When it comes to coffee, I can be indecisive, so I went with their suggestion of the iced strawberry mocha. Let me tell you, it was SO good! The drink was very flavourfull and chocolately all throughout. Best part is it's vegan, too, so no animals are harmed in the making of their drinks :)

I can't recommend this place enough! Easy 5/5 stars!“

“The last time I was here, I witnessed the owner pull an employee aside to not only commend them for the job they were doing, but to reward them as well. He spoke with such sincerity and respect that it left a real impact on me. In a world where business owners are often known for creating difficult environments, the owner here sets a new standard for creating a safe space that I can only hope to aspire to someday! Thank you for standing out as a genuinely good man“

“Great quality Coffee. Highly recommend.“

“My passion for coffee shops is still alive and kicking and Canaltown Coffee Roasters didn’t dampen that passion. It’s nice to visit a real coffee roaster’s.

Val was fantastic. For my partner Val recommended a Cuban Double Espresso and that Plant Milk was the best alternative for the Apple Dirty Chai. He thoroughly enjoyed his drinks.

I ordered the Caramel Spice Latte and it was delicious.

The service was good. There is plenty of seating indoors and a few tables outside. Loved the cute fresh flower arrangements on the tables.

A very chilled out cafe with friends chatting away and people working quietly on laptops.

There is plenty of parking.“

“Great local spot with food made with a lot of love. We had a veggie panini and the dad’s Italian sandwich - both were spectacular, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Skip the other spots and get your food here, you won’t regret!“

“Loved this little find we had! Cute vibe to one of our favorite books! Food was so good! Server was a bit rushed in speech and manner but got our orders down. Food was a bit slow coming out in comparison to how rushed the server seemed. But overall dope place!“

“The food was top notch! And customer service was wonderful!“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“I just happened upon this place and snuck in before closing time. This place is warm and welcoming. I wanted poached eggs (they have) on toasted english muffin (they don't have) so I switched it up and got a short stack of pancakes and a side of grits. I never order pancakes. I just don't like them that much but I am sure glad I did, here! Yum. Best I've ever had.“

“The best EVER! The donuts, Salvatore’s slice and world class service from the kindest ever, Chantel!“

“I don’t usually have good luck at Tim Hortons. Other locations never even look at a mobile order until I walk in and inquire. This location is the exception. I order 2-3 times a week and within 5 mins (my drive time) the order is always on the counter waiting for me. Staff is friendly and always welcomes me.“

“Very busy and high-demand Starbucks location. There’s almost always a steady flow of people, so it’s not the best spot if you’re looking to sit quietly and relax with a cup of coffee.

However, it’s a great grab-and-go location. Fast service despite the heavy customer volume, orders move efficiently, and it’s very convenient to stop by and pick up a latte on the way.

Well organized, practical, and reliable when you need coffee without delays.“

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

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

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

“Love sitting inside near giant glass windows... or outside in warm weather. Wonderful, lovely music. Quiet atmosphere. Food is very good & generous portions. Nice variety of coffees & teas. Also really enjoy looking at all the decor, based on Susan B. Anthony & other important women. Location is where she originally (illegally) voted ! Friendly, nice place > to meet or on your own.“
