The whole atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, too, with high ceilings and pleasant spaciousness. We were in a booth with people on either side but didn't feel crowded. My husband had a local beer from SXSE while I had a cranberry hibiscus margarita. The cheese curds appetizer was AWESOME. Great serving size, fresh and squeaky cheese, and good coating. The ranch served alongside tasted fresh like it was house-made, too. My husband loved his meal: custom burger with fries. The bun was even great quality. I had the grilled chicken with toasted quinoa salad. The portion size was massive, and it was a very good mix of flavors and textures. I've never had quinoa toasted in this way before. The baguette piece along with it was great, too. We were too full to order dessert, which was a shame, as they had bread pudding on the menu, one of my favorites. We'll need to come back!

year ago this place use to be amazing, around the Obama-visit era. I recently went there after years of not going to the place and ordered a steak with green beans with a side of potatoes and salad. The green beans you could tell came out of a can, you could taste the difference easily. Although I dont mind it, fresh vegetables make a business and a difference between a customer coming back or not. The steak I had wasnt the best, seemed out of a package quite literally. but the potatoes where great, they tasted like fresh potatoes, true mashed potatoes. The serving size of everything was excellent, I was very pleased. here are a couple things I was NOT pleased about. You pay almost 2 dollars for literally 1 cup size of chocolate milk, they serve it to you in the smallest glass possible, what happened to the very large cup of milk you use to get there years ago when you ordered a meal? Me and my girlfriend placed our orders and we where very pleased with everything up until we where done placing our orders, the lady whom I think was part owner, older lady. Took easily 5-8 minutes to get our milk we wanted for a drink, she got us big glass of water which is great, every place should give out water to someone even if they dont ask. But the wait time to get our milk we wanted was far too long. I ordered a salad along with my food, we quite literally seen her make my salad from the salad bar which was very disturbing, I paid for her to basically make my salad for me. I was expecting a very nice, authentic salad to come out of the kitchen. There was also the German Chocolate pie listed on the pie list and when i went to order a slice she said she was out, it must of been a reminder to her because she erased it off the board as soon as I asked, I watched her erase it before even going around the pie fridge to see if they had any left. The menus are great, but the menus are wrong on the hours they are open. They are not open during some of the most profitable making time there is in the restaurant business which astonished me. They are missing out on alot of sales and profit. I have heard the 2 owners have been fighting for some time now and cant keep there things together. Sad to see such an amazing place being run down by 2 arrogant owners. Some might not see it, but this was a place I would go to weekly, years ago for years to go and eat breakfast, lunch and supper here and there. They definatley have time to change yet, this is a great place for older people to come to and enjoy there coffee, talk, have a slice of pie. hence the name coffee mill, you will see ALOT of older people walk through those doors to enjoy there cup of brew. I really hope this place goes back to what it use to be like in the old days, seats where always packed, people enjoying there food, Im just not seeing it as often as it use to be in this place anymore. Will I go back? Of course. there pie is amazing, great homemade pies. But change needs to happen with some of the cooking and things that they do. Fresh vegetables are not hard to get, I wish they would take into consideration of the word fresh instead of canned. read more

A tasty choice (check out the photo). Then I asked for a reuben sandwich with a side of fries. I really liked the two-tone rye bread. There was modest amount of corned beef. Notice I didn't say 'generous.' The kraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing were a solid compliment. BUT the fries.... Check out the photo and look at the fries. These were double dunked in oil, greasy and sogged out, slightly charred, and meh tasting. I looked over at another patron's plate of food and saw her fries looked perfect. Golden, single dunk in oil, and crisp. Can I add a sad face emoji here? I called over the bartender and had him look at my fries, then look at the other patron's, and tell me the difference. He saw what I saw. I told him what was wrong with mine and asked why. He apologized and said he'd take 50% off my food bill. I saw him go back to the kitchen and have a conversation about my fries, which I appreciated. He didn't blow me off and let the kitchen know they dropped the ball. I've eaten at a lot of places from dives to fine dining, and I think the sign of good eatery is one that can excel at the basics.....like french fries. Plus, when you have your "A" staff working in the kitchen, but your staff sends out subpar fries to a customer...what does that say about the kitchen staff and leadership? Will I go back? Not sure, but there other places I've eaten at in Rochester that are consistently good. If I ever have family or friends in town and we go out to eat, we're not going to Forager Cafe.

There was live entertainment there that evening and the performance was good, however when the volume is such that you cannot have a conversation with the people at your table, it's a bit too loud.
