If you find yourself in Fairport, this is hands down my favorite place to get a latte. Not only can…read moreyou bring back a half gallon of your favorite latte to enjoy at home, but you can sit and enjoy a latte and food with friends in their beautiful seating area. I had been to this plaza before for Iron Smoke and for Pickleball (yea, I know, I'm 25 going on 65). But was lucky enough to try this location on a recent Rochester visit. This location easily makes my top 5 for Rochester area latte locations.

The terrible: the outside seating is right on the sidewalk and my family was harassed by a homeless woman three times for money. Overall: would return for drinks to go

Haven't been to the original location but I loved this spot! There's so much seating and wifi if…read moreyou want to work. There are several coffee and non coffee options too. I had the chai which was pretty standard for a chai. My friend ordered their seasonal mint matcha which was surprisingly refreshing. While I didn't try the food, I did see the menu and there seemed to be a variety of options there too. The space was clean and well maintained. They did seem to be short staffed too but our orders came out quick and it didn't feel delayed

We stopped in specifically because they advertise pour overs, but the experience didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I ordered a Kenya pour over, and unfortunately it tasted closer to basic diner or convenience-store drip coffee--slightly burnt and lacking any of the clarity or flavor notes you'd expect from a properly prepared pour over. As someone who regularly makes pour overs at home, this was especially disappointing because there was no distinction in taste or quality. The preparation process also didn't feel intentional. The pour seemed rushed and inconsistent--initially a quick dump of water, then the barista stepped away to do other tasks, came back intermittently, and finished with a more uneven, spray-like pour. There didn't appear to be any timer use or focused brewing process, which may explain the lack of extraction quality. On top of that, pricing felt on the higher side. Milk alternatives and mocha add-ons each came with additional charges, which stacked up quickly. Service-wise, staff were polite but not particularly engaging or welcoming, which made the overall experience feel even more transactional. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're going specifically for high-quality pour overs or craft coffee. It may work better for standard espresso drinks or quick stops, but it didn't deliver on the specialty coffee experience we were hoping for.

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.

The staff here are really nice and friendly in the restaurant is really clean. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a Matcha and both of those items were absolutely fabulous.

It's lightly spiced, a little sweet, and super refreshing over ice without losing that cozy dessert-like flavor. Honestly one of the most unique and satisfying iced drinks I've had in a while. Clementine itself has such an amazing cozy vibe, warm, welcoming, and the kind of place you want to hang out in for hours. Also grabbed the burrito, completely forgot to take a picture because I devoured it , but wow, it was incredible. Packed with flavor and seriously a fabulous bang for your buck.

My family loved their food and I love my sandwich, but I have to say their Matcha was kind of nasty. It didn't have much flavor. It kind of just tasted like water. I would definitely come back again and skip the Matcha for some coffee, as my family seemed to love theirs.

From my understanding, the owner is from Syria and I have some very good friends who are Syrian so it was good to experience more of their culture. The decor and space is beautifully decorated. They have 2 floors of ample seating room with comfy couches on the first floor and separate tables upstairs for studying, working or catching up with a friend. We tried their Chai tea and Pistachio latte and one of their tomato fatayers. They were out of some of their fatayer pastries since everything is made fresh but we appreciated trying what they still had for the day. Will definitely be back to try their specialty breakfast.

A great place for all three meals as their menu is available all day. It is spacious and I can picture coming here for a coffee dessert and a book to enjoy. An Arabic breakfast is one of my favorite meals to have and knowing I can come here for an authentic meal is exciting. Today we got the tamarind chili iced tea, and it was unique sour and refreshing. We got an assortment of 6 dips/sides with warm bread. An absolute treat. This place is open until 12am on weekends and 10pm on weekdays so call ahead just in case you're planning to come late. So happy something is open past 9pm for a late bite.

My favorites are the Parmesan fries, which are crispy, cheesy, and completely addictive, and the Berry Summer Salad, which is fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, whether you're stopping in for happy hour, appetizers, or just a casual night out. The drinks are great, the service is friendly, and it's the kind of place that's easy to keep coming back to. If you're in Rochester and looking for a great spot for cocktails, shareable appetizers, or a light meal, Bar Bantam is definitely worth checking out. I'll happily be back again and again!

No one ever came back to ask if we wanted more food or drinks or even to get dessert and sing happy birthday.

Great location and vibe the service was just not the best.
