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.

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.

This coffee shop is a new find. It was a house renovated into a coffee shop. The lady at the…read morecounter told me their syrups are home made and mochas are the best. I got a coconut mocha which I thought was great! They also have other options like raspberry or cherry mocha. However, the price point is a bit steep. They have a second floor which I believe have books. I didn't venture into yet. I'll be back to explore more.

I do really like the Flat White here. The coffee flavor is amazing in that drink with a great milk…read moreto coffee ratio. However, I have noticed that the lattes are a bit weak, and are much better if you order a double shot of espresso. This makes the drink quite a bit more expensive however, when I feel that they could just adjust the ratio for the latte slightly. But the coffee is very high quality, and many of the homemade syrups are delicious. This coffee shop is inside of a craft, gift, and florist shop which is quite fun and unique. The baristas are vey matter of fact and efficient.

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!

Finally tried Ugly Duck this week and I was very happy with our experience! The staff were very…read morefriendly and helpful. 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.

Delicious drinks and beautiful patio!…read more Ugly duck is such a nice place to grab an iced latte and sit outside in the summer! I've loved every drink that I've gotten. I'm not sure I'd consider this a good place to study, but it's a nice place to catch up with friends or take a pause outside with a good drink on a patio. The seating inside is somewhat limited, but the patio is beautiful. The buildings will provide natural shade in the afternoon. Parking can also be difficult and limited.

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.

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.
