They also have a nice patio that is partially shaded and was super comfortable on a warm sunny day. It's perfect for indoor or outdoor study time or coffee catch-ups. They do have free WiFi. The building has a few different seating areas since it is a converted house design. The art and merch are creative and music-themed. There is a music school in the top floor of the building, but you can't hear the music from the coffee shop. The drink was good, although my panini was a bit hard after it was toasted. My friend enjoyed her panini. 5/5 for the service, drink, and vibes. Love that it's nut-free!

We received fast, friendly service. They offer a wide selection of drinks and food. A decent amount of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. I had kind of planned on a iced coffee before arriving since it was a hot day, but after discovering they offered more than just black tea for their iced teas I went with a strawberry iced tea. It was made from fresh brewed herbal tea and unsweetened. The perfect, refreshing sip for a hot day! My friends both opted for strawberry smoothies and said they were good.

Ok, technically it was late for breakfast fare, but if you present yourself as a coffee house/bakery, and you are open for business for another 3 hours, you really shouldn't be running out of fresh baked goods. The barista that took my order was brusque and made me feel as if I was bothering her by asking a question. The place was busy; doesn't have enough table seating; and the coffee itself was nothing to write home about. Oh well. . .there are a lot of coffee houses in Rochester. . .maybe my next one will be one I can rave about.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant and what came out was a sad little squished glorified hamburger bun interupted with a tiny egg, a bit of cheese, and a thin circle of sausage.

This time I had the Tuscan - egg and cheese with roasted red peppers and your choice of meat on focaccia or a bagel - on the Italian bagel, which was an asiago bagel with Italian seasoning on top. It was so flavorful! The Italian seasoning gave it a little bit of a kick. I only wish I had added cream cheese as well, but that's personal preference. My fiancee had an egg bagel toasted with Sriracha honey cream cheese and she said unfortunately the bagel tasted like it had been hanging out with other bagel flavors, but she would still come back. I also had a cappuccino that was delicious and super reasonably priced - everything was $14! It's difficult to only buy what you're coming in for since everything is homemade and well-made at that.

Would be a great location to hunker down with a book or journal while enjoying your drink of choice. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. We took our drink to go. Parking was easy. There is a parking lot located conveniently behind the building. The seasonal drink choices were fun. I chose the lake breeze. I was able to remove the coconut. They were happy to do this and just let me know it might take a moment longer to make. The wait was not long at all and the drink was delicious. The dried yuzu was a nice touch. I was so happy to finally visit and will be back.

There isn't a lot of seating and the space is a bit small. It seems to be situated best for small groups to sit around a small table and talk. It's the perfect place to sit and catch up with a friend, but I probably wouldn't study here. Again, a super cute vibe. I got the newly famous Breakfast in Vermont latte, and it was delicious. The other drinks looked great too, so I'd love to try them in the future.

They provide all the nutrient info for you on the menu. They are located inside a small business center so there is plenty of parking. But there is no clear signage until you walk in. It's a family run establishment which is always nice to see. The protein donuts and waffles are made to order so be aware of that. Maybe order ahead or online so you aren't waiting. I was skeptical about the donuts as I've had protein donuts before and they were not good at all. You can pick different toppings (not sugar free) too. These donuts are small but they are light and fluffy and did not leave me feeling tired after eating them. I opted for the Samoa Smoothie which was a nice treat. The Strawberry Mojito Energy drink tasted fresh. You can also get the energy drinks with carbonation. I look forward to trying more flavors.

We tried a little bit of everything -- the shrimp and grits were rich and flavorful with just the right amount of kick, and the Pig in a Bowl was next-level comfort food. Seriously, every bite was perfection. And of course, we couldn't resist the fresh mimosas -- bubbly, fruity, and just what brunch calls for. The staff was super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they take pride in the food and the atmosphere. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. If you're in Rochester and love a good brunch (or just great food in general), Silo is a must-visit. Already looking forward to going back!

Bonus points for bringing a payment device to the table! Fav dishes include : shrimp and grits and the Cronut French Toast. Fav drinks so far : mango mimosa, cold Italian job (boozey coffee drink)

My friend and I both got a small cup of gelato. I sampled the cookie butter flavor and it was amazing! I opted for two flavors in my bowl so I ended up with cookie butter and cake batter and it was soooo good! I was surprised they had been open for 16 years when I inquired. Before leaving I decided I could get a few cookies to go to bring home for my parents. The woman who served us was very personable and i learned she loved in Rocky Mount NC for 18 years! We bonded over the fact there is no good, authentic Italian food in the south. It was a cute atmosphere with amazing prices! I was sooo surprised to learn that they had a full menu bc the dessert displays were exceptional! Thanks for an awesome experience!
