We were visiting the area from GA and chose this spot because it looked like “home” and we’d never been here. We grew up in Rochester but have been gone for many years. Best decision of the day. It is a cozy little place with the absolute friendliest staff. We were greeted very pleasantly by Lena and her coworker. We were seated quickly and given the specials and some time to look over the menu. Everything Lena did, she did it with a big smile. So even if the food had not been amazing I would still give 5 stars. But, the food! So good! I had the breakfast taco special with prosciutto, per Lena’s suggestion. All I can say is YUM. My granddaughter had the Nutella and banana French toast and cheesy scrambled eggs which she loved (she’s very picky about eggs). Lena also made my granddaughter a very yummy hot chocolate. The portions were huge. I do not know that we could have had a better experience if we had planned it for ourselves. We will definitely stop in here from now on whenever we visit Rochester. I hope this gem and these kind people are still around. Thank you, Lena & The Frog Pond Friends!

Lovely and happy vibes. Had brunch with a friend. The ‘Rene’ breakfast with corn beef hash, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce was perfect. Good coffee too and loved the froggy decor.

Wow... A hidden gem for sure. The staff are great and the food is good. But the portions are amazing. For once I'm full when I leave. My kinda place for sure. French toast is great... I got the Nutella one. And look at those pics. What??? That salad is insane!! The other is your typical big breakfast. 5 stars for sure. 2nd time we have been in 2 days... And we are probably going tomorrow also!! 😃❤️😳. Good value for money too, the 3 of us ate for 50 bucks all in!! Gotta love that! Enjoy! Be warned , you probably will have to wait a few minutes to be seated, but worth the wait IMO.

Good breakfast, larger portions, good value for a fancy neighborhood. The servers were very nice too.
Always good, it had been so many years since I got to eat here on a Saturday. It’s always so busy and for good reason great food, amazing service, family friendly vibe. Blueberry ricotta pancake 😍😍

I would attached photos but food was so good I inhaled the food. Never had such amazing food and the bacon was sweet and peppery in the most perfect way. Had eggs Benedict with tomatoes and bacon. With a Mamosa and coffee. The service was absolutely amazing as well. Sat down right away and they were right on it with waters and got food super quick. Definitely a place I want to go again.

The food is alright but if you like going to the bathroom in a telephone booth, this is the place for you. That and the waitress had a ton of perfume on that made my date sick. This was Saturday, 08.02.2025, around 1 pm.

Got eggs, toast, and homefries—simple but solid. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are a bit high for standard diner fare, but the food’s good and the vibe is great. Usually easy to get a table, though it can fill up on weekends. Solid neighborhood spot!
