    Banana mixed berry smoothie
    Mia T.

    Eclectic spot on Park Ave with food options. I ordered a smoothie which was only $5 and was super refreshing. Drinks didn't take very long to be ready but the food did take a bit more time on a busy Sunday morning. There's inside and outside seating. I appreciated the heating lamps outside as well!

    I am just in love with this place! The baristas are always so nice and such a beautiful environment. The drinks and food were also delicious and fairly priced - unlike most cafes these days! What really gets me though is the art collection - it is seriously floor to ceiling, so much to look at. I have tried all of the cafes in the area and I keep finding myself here. I think I have a favorite!

    My favorite cafe to go to in roc! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. Their drinks are great and the service is as well. The only complaint I have is that their cookies are not the best, but I believe they get them from another place locally.

    Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant & Chai Latte

    I was in the mood for a pastry and coffee and came here. The setting with some tables, a counter against the wall, draperies, photos & paintings creates an appealing ambiance to sit and chat with a bunch of friends or just sit quietly to sip and eat your meal. It has an ample menu of cocktails, sandwiches, and a few pastries, coffee, tea. I really liked it.

    pistachio muffin
    Jessica D.

    Came here on a Saturday so it was super crowded but there was a lot of seating both inside and outdoors. Wanted to get a bagel but it was a 30 minute wait so I got a pistachio muffin which was great. They have both coffee and cocktails and overall it's a very cozy, artsy vibe. There is no public wifi which is the main downside if you're looking for a study spot

    Iced mocha

    Cute cafe on Park Ave! Came here around lunch time on a weekday and luckily it wasn't too busy when we we got there! I love all of the art inside. They have seating inside as well. I got the Presto Pesto with a side salad (+$1) and an iced mocha. I thought the mocha was okay, and I enjoyed my food. I think this is a cute place and a great place to meet up with friends or get some work done.

    Good spot for a latte & reading

    I went in while visit Rochester and needed a spot to kill an hour and wake up with a coffee. I ordered a iced latte with oat milk & amaretto which was a great choice. Would recommend to anyone looking for coffee!

    Okay let me start by saying Cafe sasso is a legit coffee joint in the grand ol city of rochacha! A real Funky joint, artsy, classy, open-minded flare! They Gita great coffee/tea/paninis/cocktails/muffins/pastries et Al....如果你有空的话,你一定要来这里尝试一,尤其是因为你绝对不会后悔的!哈哈哈哈哈哈 git er done! I luv this joint, I used to come here a lot back in the day, great place to come and get a nice cup of Joe and just really chill out! Hahah enjoy it! Now how did this place get their name? I just found this out.....so this joint used to be boulder coffee like 7,8 years ago. and the word "sasso" means "stone" in Italian. So essentially cafe sasso is like the "little boulder"'coffee shop Hahhahaha like the "sasso" took the place of the really big "sasso" the boulder, after boulder coffee closed! Isn't this place nuts! Hahahhah But it is way cool!

    Mango Smoothie
    Molly R.

    6/5 stars. My favorite cafe in Rochester. The staff is friendly and work diligently to get all orders in. The cafe is decorated so fun and there are lots of unique places to sit. I loved to study here throughout college. The coffee is wonderful, as well as the specialty coffees. When I'm in need of a non caffeinated drink the mango smoothie is super refreshing. The best part is the number of gluten free items (sandwiches in particular) that are made GF without an up charge.

    Excellent little coffee shop. It's not huge so seating inside can be a little tight, but there is additional seating outside. I try to time my visits for when it's a little slow as I to get some writing done while having my coffee. It's not the most ideal coffee shop to work from, but it's possible during slower hours. The coffee is delicious. So far all the food I've tried has been amazing. Really, this is a place you visit to have a chat with friends or a meal. Or liquor if that's your thing. Parking is 95% street parking, which can be limited to an hour.

    Had some time to kill before the shows tonight at Comedy at the Carlson so I popped into this cozy joint to write some jokes. This place is really nice. Lots of cool art on the wall and the couch is comfy! There's a giant peace sign out front so if you like your coffee shops with a bit of war this place is not for you. They have cocktails too but I didn't get one because ol' Dusty has a little bit of a drinking problem hahaha (seriously) but I'm sure they're great. Nice baristas. Nice coffee. Five stars!

    Perfect little spot on Park Avenue. Come for coffee in the morning stay for drinks in the afternoon. You'll feel like you're sitting in an art gallery! Lovely sitting inside or out. Service is fast and friendly. Coffee is served piping hot!

    Franklin's Tower breakfast sandwich-soo delicious!

    See all

My friend and I ordered mocktails which we both enjoyed. We then ordered gochu belly buns and the braised beef French onion soup. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and make the soup gluten free! It was delicious. For our entrees, I ordered the sweet deal salad and my friend ordered the green curry stir fry. Mine wasn't anything crazy, tasted as I expected but it was still good. My friend, on the other hand, did not love her dish. She is a big curry person and said the sauce lacked flavor (which I tried and agreed with). The tofu was nice and crispy, dry though. There wasn't enough sauce in the dish. The mushrooms were the most flavorful.
