Albunn Coffee House continues to be one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. This was my first…read morevisit since the expansion and I was overjoyed to observe all of the available space. The expansion was much needed, as I had some crowded previous experiences and found this to be one of the downsides of the location. The expansion has truly helped the shop to reach its full potential. The demand was clearly visible as I stopped in around 8:30 pm on a Wednesday night and found it was quite busy, with patrons coming and going. I ordered a strawberry refresher and found a cozy reading spot. The barista who took my order was so sweet. I really enjoyed her kind personality. As always the dessert case was filled with appetizing treats, though I did not indulge during this visit, I love getting a look at them. They are always pretty. So happy to see Albunn doing well, as it as a great addition to East avenue. The shop has great hours (love being able to get drinks in the evening) and seems to be enjoyed by the community.

Decent size to be shared! However tasted very stale and lacking flavor. I'm glad we tried this place to see what all the craze is about. I see it being a hit because us beautiful and location is great but no need to repeat visit. We had to order twice because they cashier didn't get our correct order, maybe a language issue or the noice level.

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.

I was in heaven. We had one each and coffee. It is so nice to find. A place that can offer honey instead of sugar or artificial sweeteners. The scones were delicious, so much so I bought one of each for home. The two very friendly people working were Julia and Pan. They are so grilled to work in this cute and unique shop and it was very apparent. Loved them! This is my new favorite shop and hope to be there often. Keep up, the good work and I wish you great success and longevity.

I'm ashamed and embarrassed to admit it's my first time there but it definitely will not be my last. I'm posting a ton of pictures just so you all can see what they offer. The scones were incredible as was my Americano which they gave me for free as a nurse. There's a board you can purchase a $4 cup of coffee for a service worker (Medical, police, fire fighter, teacher, etc.) which I thought was a wonderful idea and concept. To be gifted this by a stranger was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise. Julia was working and made us feel so at home. She remarked at how wonderful the owners are to work for and how much she is passionate about working there. Her coworker Pan said it was the greatest job ever. I loved all of the small gifts. Some of which Julia said she made are on the shelves as well as mystery books that are like blind dates for readers. I didn't get to eat off their menu other than the scones, but if the food is as good as the baked goods and coffee, then I can hardly wait to try it. My mother and I are already looking forward to making this a weekly visit. I'm also hoping that I can start replacing my order ahead at Starbucks with an order ahead coffee here! Suggestion: it would be great if there was an app to do that... Just a thought. Julia did say I could call ahead and so I'm thinking about that. I'm a big supporter of small businesses in my community. It would much rather give my money here than to the big chains. I hope this place is around for a very long time. The place was full when we got there and it was still full when we left so it looks like we're not the only ones who discovered this hidden gem. If you haven't been there yet, you need to go try it. You're gonna kick yourself for not coming sooner. Thank you Julia and Pan for the great service and hospitality. You two are as much about making it a great experience as anything else.

Finally tried Ugly Duck this week and I was very happy with our experience! The staff were very…read morefriendly and helpful. I always like to look for espresso specials and we were not disappointed by the selection. My fiance got The Snug with maple syrup and molasses bitters. I was too afraid to try any drinks with bitters (I hate how it tastes in cocktails) but I took a sip of The Snug and it tasted great, I would definitely try that next time. I had the B.B.L. latte which had banana syrup, it was more on the sweet side but not overly sweet (I would avoid it if you don't enjoy a sweet palate, try a latte with bitters instead!) It was something unique to try and I was happy with my choice. There was also plenty of seating which is always a huge plus in the winter in Rochester. We had no trouble getting a table. I should also note that there was a very limited food selection here -- about 3 baked goods offered. So if you're looking for food and coffee, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Overall I would happily try out Ugly Duck again! I'm curious if they have outdoor seating in the warmer months.

Cozy coffee shop with third space vibes, everyone is very friendly and welcoming! The downside is…read morethat there isn't a lot of seating space--I actually came here a while back on a weekend and ended up leaving because all the tables were occupied. To counteract the limited seating, there isn't any wifi. While I can respect this decision, it is unfortunate that I was looking for a place to do work while sipping on coffee. I got the seasonal BBL (I'm assuming Banana bread latte). The latte itself is quite strongly brewed, and the drink was very banana-forward. There is a slight hint of acidity, but i didn't mind it too much. If I'm every in the area, I think it would be more prudent to grab something to go, but I do think it's worth visiting for the coffee and the vibes!

The shop currently has a fall menu offering and I had to get the Scully, named after my favorite 90s special agent. Delicious drink with smoky fall flavors. I was able to have it made iced with almond milk. The shop also had a nice offering of pre-made baked goods from local partners such as The Red Fern and The Little Brownie. A rotation of pastries were also available such as pretzel croissants and cinnamon buns. Seating is limited (two tables) and a bathroom is available on site. You will also find art on display for sale, as well as books, pins, and stickers from local artists. The shop is very much connected to the community with these offerings and there is even a board for local events, mutual aid, and business card offerings. It was busy when we arrived with only one barista working. The barista would take orders and then made the drinks for the order. They were very kind and hardworking. We had no problem being patient waiting for our turn. There was so much to look at in the shop while waiting. Street parking is available and was easy to find. The street the shop is located on is tree lined and quiet. Very happy to support a queer & trans owned coffee shop with ties to the local community. The vibes at Clownboy Coffee are superb!

I love the atmosphere and the low lighting of this cafe, but was disappointed with their latte selection after being recommended this cafe so many times. I had a toasted coconut latte which was pretty good - but also pretty basic in terms of lattes that I have tried in the Rochester area. For me, this cafe was a one and done - not only because of the coffee, but also because of the service. I felt like the barista was a little rude, which I can consider could just be something personal that the barista was dealing with that day. However, as someone who appreciates good service (or at least someone who is kind), service means a lot to me. Overall, the coffee was pretty mid. I think Montgomery Court was a one and done for me.

Pandamonium is a creative coffee spot where unexpected combinations yield some extremely delicious…read moredrinks! On my first visit, I had the unfortunate timing to arrive late in the morning after a huge rush of locals had pretty much wiped out all their specials. Except one: a coffee drink with fish sauce. You read that correctly. FISH SAUCE. Like the kind you put on a savory Asian dish. It wasn't what I wanted, but the person making the coffees talked me into it because, as noted, they were literally out of almost everything else. I thought, well, I do like fish sauce, and maybe it just adds an umami kick, the way salt on caramel amps up the richness of a dessert. And I was not disappointed! In fact, it was delightful and very easy to drink! From that point, I felt pretty much hooked. These folks know their flavor combos and despite how 'weird' some might sound, they just work. My current obsession is their miso gourd-core on their fall menu - sort of like a savory pumpkin spice latte - delicious. I also love the golden nugget with turmeric maple syrup and clove. Really good. I have not tried anything else here food-wise (i.e. no cookies, smoothies or other nibbles), but usually pair my coffee with something delectable from next door at Jens Artisan - such as a quiche, mini cheesecake or cinnamon roll.... I'm a fan. And I highly recommend trying something outside of your comfort zone!

I love the pastel de nata latte, and I appreciate that they offer dairy-free options. They also let you choose between medium or dark roast for your coffee. Today I tried their spring special, the pistachio cannoli latte, and it was delicious. The Portuguese egg tarts are absolutely to die for! On weekdays, they have a wheel at the register that you can spin for free or discounted drinks, and they also offer a punch card loyalty program. I'll definitely be coming back to Elvio's!

Possibly, but probably not.

I have tried time and time again to like their coffee but I can't bring myself to enjoy the taste of the lattes, there is no espresso taste and even the milk tastes bland somehow.

Couldn't taste the blackberry or hazelnut, just milk :') On the plus side, the food is very tasty and staff is always friendly. It is SUPER packed on weekends, you'd have to get there early to snag the seat you want. Also shoutout whoever is on aux, music is always good... unless you need to study or get work done (would choose another cafe to go if you can't lock in while feeling bass in your bones, it's so overstimulating)
