There's also patio seating which is nice when the weather is warm. I got a shot of espresso along with their regular brew. It was as strong as my child's attitude. Lots of seating inside as well.

Plenty of parking and seating and prices were good too. A bit of humor as well I enjoyed the children's menu lol and the named sandwiches and wraps. Would definitely come back again!

Went here for a get together and kids date. Lots of fun for The kids, running all over. Very loud…read more We didn't check out the quieter section (we had kids). A fun positive energy place that is decent for kids. Ours were 2 years old. Coffee was surprisingly good. Food was ok, not warned up and we waited for That. So not sure what happened there. It was smoky and we smelt like smoke after. Maybe not all the time but noticeable.

I have been going here for many years and always make it a stop when I'm in town…read more The only downside of this place is that there is almost always a line...it is very popular! They have a pretty comprehensive lunch menu with the loredo being my favorite. You order at the counter and then sit once you have your food. I most often stop there for a specialty coffee. They consistently have new specials and new pastries to choose from. Their management changed this year but I am happy to report it is still a wonderful consistent spot to stop at!

I am addicted to the Loredo panini! I've also tried their three cheese grilled cheese which is…read moreamazing as well. The coffee is always on point here & if you don't enjoy coffee, the Sparkling Peach Lemonade is a refreshing treat. the baked goods are also top tier. You cannot go wrong with Leaf & Bean.

So I finally made it to this bookstore/café and met up with a friend. The first floor is the café,…read morewhile the upstairs is the bookstore. There are plenty of places to sit whether you're alone with a book or meeting up with friends. They sell used books along with a small, nicely curated selection of new titles. The coffee and breakfast sandwiches were tasty, and the staff was friendly. My only gripe is that parking in this area is a complete pain.

However, the last time i was in there I wasn't too thrilled with my coffee. Maybe it was just the flavor I got... but it wasn't good at all. It was very sour and the aftertaste was something between strong chemicals and mildew. It was my choice to visit a different coffee shop since I don't live in rochester anymore and want to explore the other cafes rochester has to offer. Maybe some day I will be able to re-visit bookeater and try their coffee again. But until that day, I have a lot of other coffee shops to visit. However, I want to give it 3 stars because the bookstore portion really is amazing.

Lots of seating and collaborative space for studying , collaborating, or simply reading :)…read more The matcha latte was super good, bagel pretty standard. Drinks were not expensive but food was a tad more than what I expected. Free WiFi! Had to hunt for outlets. Staff were very attentive and helpful in deciding drinks and food.

Stop by because of their drink menu. It has some creative options and they sell Vietnamese coffee…read more I think the owner is Vietnamese. Ordered a French Toast Latte, pretty good. The cinnamon and vanilla provided richness to the coffee and also soften the espresso intensity. Monkey bread I ordered was kinda dry. Taste like a day old. Also their workers have a stern look. Were they having a bad day. Since they are locate in a floral shop. Both side of the business are nicely decorated. Love the high vaulted ceiling and skylight window.

I wanted a sweet treat while out and about with a friend of mine and we ended up here this evening…read more I must say I'm licking myself for not taking pictures of the display full of Italian cookies! My friend and I both got a small cup of gelato. I sampled the cookie butter flavor and it was amazing! I opted for two flavors in my bowl so I ended up with cookie butter and cake batter and it was soooo good! I was surprised they had been open for 16 years when I inquired. Before leaving I decided I could get a few cookies to go to bring home for my parents. The woman who served us was very personable and i learned she loved in Rocky Mount NC for 18 years! We bonded over the fact there is no good, authentic Italian food in the south. It was a cute atmosphere with amazing prices! I was sooo surprised to learn that they had a full menu bc the dessert displays were exceptional! Thanks for an awesome experience!

Order at the counter and your food will be brought to you at your indoor or outdoor table. There is a discount if paying in cash. Sometimes the service can be slow if they are busy - there is usually one person working, occasionally two. There is a large menu of Italian-American classics including pasta, salads, sandwiches, and meals like eggplant Parmesan. Portions are generous for the price. Don't forget the full case of cookies, cake slices, and arancini, all of which can be boxed up to go.

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!

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.

Super cute and cozy cafe. The decor is really unique. The vibe was welcoming…read more I love how cozy it is in the winter, even on the coldest day of the year. 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.

LOVE this place! From the moment we walked in, Silo Brunch Bar had such a great vibe -- welcoming,…read morecozy, and full of amazing smells that made it really hard to decide what to order (in the best way possible). We tried a little bit of everything -- the shrimp and grits were rich and flavorful with just the right amount of kick, and the Pig in a Bowl was next-level comfort food. Seriously, every bite was perfection. And of course, we couldn't resist the fresh mimosas -- bubbly, fruity, and just what brunch calls for. The staff was super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they take pride in the food and the atmosphere. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. If you're in Rochester and love a good brunch (or just great food in general), Silo is a must-visit. Already looking forward to going back!

We've been here a couple of times now and it's been delicious…read more Weekends can be crowded so prepare to wait, no reservations. They have an assortment of brunch, breakfast and lunch options. A great selection of alcohol based drinks as well as regular drinks. We seem to average around $40 - $50pp. Service has been friendly and efficient. Bonus points for bringing a payment device to the table! Fav dishes include : shrimp and grits and the Cronut French Toast. Fav drinks so far : mango mimosa, cold Italian job (boozey coffee drink)
