It seems like there's only one person making the smoothies while others are in the back prepping produce. Last time I came in, there were five people ahead of me, one person doing everything, and I ended up leaving. Today was better someone rang me up, and there were only a couple people ahead of me, so it moved faster this was a plus! Honestly, it feels a little hit or miss these days. I totally understand food costs, rent, staffing, all of that can be tough to balance. Just know that while the smoothies are great, you might be in for a bit of a wait. That's all I've got!

No more samples, but I picked up a small green juice at the market this past weekend and WOW. This is my favorite green juice I've had. Pears, kale, parsley, apple and more are juiced to smooth perfection. They have beautiful packaging, a huge variety of blends, and I really can't wait to pick up a large haul to get me through the week the next time I head to the market. A few notes: they are open on Saturday ONLY and are located in the shed on the left hand side, about halfway through, when you enter by Zimmerman's. They have a $10 minimum on credit cards so, like many booths in the market, be sure to have cash on hand if you're looking for just one juice to enjoy while you shop. The juice is pricey, but actually more reasonable than Wegmans or some of the other juiceries in town, AND completely locally sourced. The market has been amazing throughout the pandemic. Masking is at 100% and even on a busy Saturday, people are moving in a more reasonable way and giving more SPACE, which is a welcome change I hope sticks around post-pandemmy. Happy juicing!

Small families enjoying food. Couples and friends chatting over coffee. They support local businesses. We came on a Saturday afternoon, when students from RIT were given tables to show and sell their art in a non intrusive way. Coffee is really fantastic. I had an Americano, with their Espresso Blend. Roast master told me he does the sourcing, blending and roasting. This one had Ethiopian and Colombian beans. Fabulous blend of earthy and chocolate tones. I bought a pound to prepare with my French Press at hotel and the roaster grinded it to a perfect coarse. Side note: please never drink coffee from those hotel room machines. You can always do better! Come, have a coffee, have lunch, buy beans or ground coffee for your enjoyment at home. This is the type of place that makes café lovers feel right at home, even when traveling.

On a recent visit to Rochester, one of my friends and I met up at this cool location for a coffee and to catch up. There are options galore for drinks and they're so good. I loved my marshmallow latte. They have options for board games, events they host, and a small corner for small/local artists to share and sell their products. It was so interesting to explore and look around while I caught up with an old friend. Next time I'm in Rochester, I'm definitely coming back.

Hubby went full comfort mode with the chicken finger plate--he was silent for most of the meal, which is how I know it was good. I got the Park's Burger with fries and honestly? That burger deserves its own fan club. Juicy, cheesy, then add an onion ring... oh my gosh, it's perfect. And then we shared a chocolate/vanilla shake, we made room for that! Even when they're slammed with orders, the staff is still smiling and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can show up in sweats and still feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Vasko's, you're the reason my jeans are tight and my heart is full. Never change.

Halal N Out 655 Monroe Ave…read moreRochester, NY We ordered two of the Lamb-N-Chicken Mix Platter ($10.99) and jalapeño poppers everything was both delicious. The meat was tender, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Everything was fresh and generously portioned. Each platter came with rice, and a fresh salad ~ a great value for the price. This location is a little bit bigger than the one in E. Henrietta location , which has two tables. The Monroe Ave location, has six tables. So you can comfortably eat in or takeout. Much like the location on E. Henrietta Rd., the menu has broad range too ~ from classic chicken and lamb platters to jerk chicken, kofta kabob, seafood options like shrimp and fish platters, plus vegetarian favorites like falafel and hummus-N-pita. Whether you're craving bold Caribbean spice, NYC-style halal, or something meat-free, they've got you covered. Fresh food. Big flavor. Excellent service. We'll definitely be back. Kevin

The menu is fairly large, with plenty of sandwiches and platters. Service was efficient and friendly, and everything is made fresh. I ordered the chicken platter and liked that I could customize my salad. The chicken was well seasoned, though I do wish the rice had been hotter. (Oddly enough this seems to be a thing around here?) The garlic sauce on the chicken was tasty. We also shared mozzarella sticks, which were tasty, though it was odd that the only dipping option was Italian dressing. My friend ordered a plain gyro, which was fresh and flavorful. There's both dine in and takeout. A few people sat down to eat while we were there, but I get the sense it's more of a takeout spot. They're also open late, which is a plus. Parking is either street or a small shared lot.
