I don't drink coffee, so I suppose my opinion about coffee places is a bit under-seasoned, but…read moreUnion Place seems like a good one. Super high ceilings, local art on the walls, comfortable seats, and friendly folks behind the counter. While I don't drink coffee, I was purchasing nine pounds of coffee (it's a stocking stuffer in our family) for other people. It seems like Union Place typically has an excellent and varied selection of different beans, but it was too close to Christmas and they were running low on it all. My friend came out from behind the counter, and helped my navigate what was still available. I got a lot of beans, they ground them for me for the right filters (while I sat in a very comfortable chair), and I was out of there. If you actually drink coffee, I bet you'll like this place even better than I do.

I did not get any on this visit but they have some really fun flavor options! The best part of my visit was the excellent service. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. After sitting for a while, you could tell that many of the customers (both for the cafe and store) were regulars. During my visit there was a local artist showcase and event fliers for some of the local community organizations. Would recommend for anyone looking for a high quality, local Roastery.

Whenever I drive by the parking lot is slammed. I knew this place had to be good. There is almost completely instantly a line and I felt lucky to find a table. It's simply so popular, I don't know if it's large enough. The tables are close so if you're trying to have a private conversation-you won't get it here. There is a variety of seating options. Comfy conversation chairs, a booth banquette with chairs on the other side, chairs and tables, and a bar top along the windows with outside eating for warm sunny days. The cups are a rich brown color with gold probably Arabic writing. The dessert case is filled with sumptuous fruit shaped mousse desserts. The coffee itself is beyond compare. There are boxed games. Things are delivered to your table on wooden trays. It's so elegant. I cannot say enough nice things. The staff is so friendly. I had a Nutella latte and a raspberry dessert. I asked which dessert was best, the lady at the register said the mango. Mango is not my thing but she said next best is raspberry. It's the perfect size. A hard crisp shell, creamy mousse and a perfect raspberry center. I also got a pistachio latte. Both were excellent.

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.

I'll try the Sushi Burrito next time. Beef Rice Bowl-generous portion of some kind of Beef, Sautéed Onions, Green Onions, 1/2 Hard Boiked Egg & Rice. Taichi Green Tea Milk. Satisfying. It has a white board for people to write on. The background music was funky Asian-American-Spanish.

They're also significantly larger than any donuts ice ever had from another bakery, berry double in size. A wide variety of flavors and all veeg good.

They had a lot of the carrot ones. The donut case was full. I got my dad two apple fritters -he said he's had better. He also had a raspberry filled. He said it was okay. My mom had a lemon filled donut, she said it was missing the tartness that lemon has. I also got her a cinnamon apple one filled one she said it was pretty good. I had a croissant. It was very dry. I had to microwave it. It was not anything special. There was some fudge and honey. There was a big dining area. This not a place I just have to go to. I can take it or leave it. I thought there would be more breads and bakery pastries.

I have tried time and time again to like their coffee but I can't bring myself to enjoy the taste of the lattes, there is no espresso taste and even the milk tastes bland somehow. I had such high hopes for the Peace Train but boy was that a train wreck in a cup. Couldn't taste the blackberry or hazelnut, just milk :') On the plus side, the food is very tasty and staff is always friendly. It is SUPER packed on weekends, you'd have to get there early to snag the seat you want. Also shoutout whoever is on aux, music is always good... unless you need to study or get work done (would choose another cafe to go if you can't lock in while feeling bass in your bones, it's so overstimulating)

I was looking for a place to grab coffee and study that wasn't a library, campus, or in a busy area…read moredowntown, and that was open a bit later. There aren't very many coffee shops open past 5pm, particularly on the weekend, so I was glad to find this place. I've only ever been to the Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters locations in URMC, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options and the quality of the drinks at this location. There is ample seating, some next to outlets, so this was a great place to study. Highly recommend if you need an off-campus study location but want to avoid downtown in the evenings.

The line moved surprisingly fast and I was able to browse the assortment of coffee and gift items available while waiting. Very inviting selection of local goods available along with the coffee beans. I saw several people pick up items for purchase while waiting. Even saw a fun coffee advent calendar on display which would make a great gift. The cafe area had a decent amount of seating. The menu was quite large and had a nice selection of coffee, smoothies, and iced drinks. I liked the large amount of flavor options available to add to your drink. I ordered an iced matcha with gingerbread flavor. It was delicious! Cost me a little over $7 with tax. I am happy to have a local coffee option to choose from when shopping at Pittsford Plaza. I will definitely be back.

Hard chairs along with soft sinking your derreire into type ones. Nice barista (what if it is a man like when I went today? Baristo??!#) Fun shaped windows.
