    This was my first time here and I cannot believe it took so long. I stopped in on a whim, after hiking a local trail to reward myself with coffee and a small breakfast. It was Sunday just about lunchtime. I ordered the tiramisu coffee latte with espresso and the Portuguese Omelet Sandwich. The ambiance was amazing, with local artist, David Wentling playing some of the most beautiful, nostalgic music. His voice was was so calming, and his originals were fantastic as well. That food was too die for! I look forward to visiting sooner rather than later. I learned thru a mutual friend that the owner, who looked very familiar, was there as well sitting right across from me taking in a soccer match with friends on the big screen while David was on break. Five stars to everyone, friendly service, tasty food and such cool vibes! I long for warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor space as well.

    Fig and pig (flat bread), omlette sandwich, cinnamon roll, pastel de nata, expresso and latte.

    Atmosphere and vibe was great. Lots of tables, cool decor, and music on the TV. Great customer service with a smile. Latte and expresso was worth the value. The food was mediocre at best. The fig and pig flatbread was good (5/10), not great. It stated it had brisket; if it did it was far and few in between. The omlette sandwich was good (7/10). The star, the pastel de nata (10/10). The cinnamon roll was a cinnamon roll (6/10). Total bill: $45.00. Cost is that you pay. Value is what you get. For me the cost and value do not match here. Will I come back? Possibly, but probably not.

    Will be returning. The location is amazing. Anywhere you look, you're either looking at the lake or a beautiful forest. The vibe inside is awesome. Cohesive atmosphere with a calm, dark color scheme. But the food is the real deal. I got the smoked salmon bagel, which normally comes with tomatoes, but I personally did not get. The smoked salmon tasted fresh and perfectly smoky, the capers weren't overpowering, and the pickled onion was a perfect touch of acidity. I also got a cold brew coffee, which was rich, bold and didn't taste watered down. The staff were all friendly and understanding, and our food came out at a reasonable time (about ten minutes for two items).

    Elvio's is good. I didn't realize that this is a Portuguese cafe. The place felt divey/casual. I came here to hangout with a couple of friends. There was live music on a Saturday. I tried their winter special menu - fogho latte which is made with molasses, ginger, cayenne and other spices. It was okay. Not sufficiently hot for my palette. I can't enjoy my coffee if it's not hot enough. I also got a flatbread which was delicious! I got another latte, this time it was pastel de nate latte which is custard flavored with a hint of lemon. I liked this one better, but again, it was not hot enough after requesting extra hot, which is why I'm knocking a star off. Staff is friendly and they bring out the food and drink in reasonable time. Do check out this place if you're interested!

    Loved the harvest bowl! Great coffee and matcha. Outdoor seating was lovely with great views of the water.

    View from the door - lots of parking and tables/umbrellas to enjoy the view & sunny weather

    I stopped by on. Wednesday morning to get a latte to take with me to a meeting. What a cute place and fantastic location on the Bay! There are seats inside, picnic tables with umbrellas outside, and it was accessible. There is also one, clean unisex bathroom. Jasmine created my dark roast latte with almond milk and it was delicious. I saw the baked goods and ordered a chocolate muffin too. She put it in a to go box and I was able to take a fork with me. I will definitely be back to hear some music and look around at the music photos!

    Blackberry toast

    I love that's there's a local coffee shop in the area now. I've stopped several times on my way to work and I always am in and out in less than 10 minutes. I've tried the blackberry toast which was refreshing and the perfect balance of filling and not too heavy. The balsamic glaze was the perfect touch. There's a nice seating area outside for the warmer months too. I haven't come for the live music, but love that it's an option

    Iced latte

    Great service, delicious and fun coffees, yummy food options! Can't wait to sit outside this summer.

    Avocado toast with marinated onions and a Portuguese sausage
    D A.

    I love this place. It's so eclectic you can hear music. The Portuguese influence is amazing the coffee I know I can bring a friend and sit down and relax in the summer in the fall. It's beautiful in the back. I enjoy the pastries. The Portuguese custard pastry is delicious.

    Checking out Elvio's coffee shop on the bay. Super cool vibe. Great music. A little different than the other local coffee joints. That's not to say it's better or worse. Just a cool idea in its own right. The coffee is good. Just got a cold brew on this chilly Sunday morning. But next time I'll have to try some food. The employees were friendly, welcoming and answered any questions I had regarding the menu. Well done! Looking forward to going back.

    Canico avocado toast added an egg

    This new location is all about music, coffee, and culture. Owned by Elvio Fernandez former musician, best known with Daughtry. Elvio wanted to open a unique place where people can gather for food and coffee while enjoying live music. When you walk in the place its decked out with music decor/pictures and a stage in the middle surrounded by tables. Walk to the back behind the stage and you will find the counter to order and pay. We went on a Sunday morning and when we walked in there was a young guy playing his guitar and singing. He was at the end of his set, so they turned music on a tv where it was showing old music videos. my first thought is that it could get pretty loud if a band was playing. The menu is diverse with enough items to choose from. sandwiches, different coffee options, flatbreads/toast, healthy bowls, and protein smoothies. I ended up getting the canico avocado toast and the boyfriend got the Chourico breakfast bifanna, we also got a blueberry pistachio scones and americanos. a lot of the items seemed to have a Portuguese theme which makes sense since this is Elvios heritage. we got a high top table in the corner where we waited for our name to be called to pick up our food. everything had great flavor and the scone was soft, a perfect pair with my coffee. the bifana was more flavorful than my avocado toast, but still loved both items. the avocado toast was a perfect size (not to too small which I was concerned about) and filling. will definitely be returning for a specialty latte and smoked salmon bagel. the prices are slightly up there but you are paying for good food and entertainment. also there is enough parking in the front and to the side. however I do wonder how it would be during the summer months for boat season.

    A wonderful spot inside with decent views. Odd spot, parking was weird, very busy road. Great coffee and food selection

    Food and drinks were great. Tried the strawberry toast. Had a latte as well. Ambiance was fun. Will be back for live music. Ordered ahead and food was ready when we got there. Service was friendly.

    Egg, brisket, sausage sandwich. Delicious

But each visit is worse than the next. I really hope they take this review as a much needed pull up. Because it actually pains me to leave a 3 star review for my own country people. It really makes me sad that this place is so overrated. Probably due to their local following, which I completely respect. I do not respect the way the employees run the place. They need to pay attention. Just because a lot of people are no longer shopping big corporations doesn't mean we are going to accept the same treatment from our own community business. It's a shame really, It's a great set up, and they have most of what every Italian needs in their life. Packed into an easily accessible area. The layout is very smart. That what keeps me popping in from time to time to see what has changed. Parking is tricky only because they stay super busy. Which usually is a good thing. But as an Italian, and Rochester outsider, who has lived in many Italian communities, this is the dirtiest community grocery store and deli I've been in. They have a few employees that are lazy and rude, and the good employees are the ones taking up all the slack and working hard. Which seems disrespectful to the staff that works hard. The hot foods are hit or miss. sometimes awesome! depends on what time of day you go, and you want to go early to try and beat the flies. The amount of flies in that place is disgusting. I understand all kitchens will get a few. My family owns a restaurant, so I'm not just talking just as an Italian, but one who has worked in Kitchens themselves. A dirty Kitchen and flies are the worst turnoff. Also, it is a problem they could easily remedy. It is not because they stay so busy, they don't have time to clean. It's certain employees that are holding this place back. They really should clean house. I know my Nonni, would never. On this particular day for this review, my BF wanted to go. I reminded him of how dirty it was last time. Being the loyal local he is, he said, I've just been unlucky. So we went. He ordered the meatball dinner, and it looked hot and delicious. He was definitely looking forward to it. I was 2nd and last person in line to order from the deli. As I was waiting more people started coming in. The line suddenly was more than 10 people deep. That's when I noticed the person in front of me, had not been helped. We all had been standing there for 10 min. Next to me was the hot foods counter. There was a woman and a man, standing there having a casual conversation. The whole line heard it. Nothing to do with work. Meanwhile, there was a young girl there running around like a maniac trying to clean her work station, to help people. I waited a few more minutes, then I noticed someone else behind the sub counter just standing there. I left my BF in my line, and very politely asked the girl if they had any other employees that could help us, and showed her the line. She was smiling and was about to say something, when the woman who had been talking with the gray haired man behind the counter, ran over and interrupted. She had such an attitude. She instantly said, I work that section, and since you got out of line, you have to go to the back of the line. I was shocked and dumfounded! But not having that attitude. I said, excuse me, my BF is in line with me, and please do not speak to me this way. The nice girl piped up, and just said. I understand, what can we get for you? The mean woman who was about my age, with brown hair, then said, ok what do you want? With that NY crazy roll your eyes attitude. I said, "nothing, I do not give money to people who disrespect me or their customers. Now my BF has gotten out of line, and is standing next to me, wanting to know what's going on. The disrespectful woman was still there and growing impatient due to the conversation. Yah, She has no problem making us wait, but when she is waiting on us, suddenly it's a problem. I said right in front of this woman, "I decided not to eat here, because this woman is rude, and I do not trust her, not to mess with my sub, so I'm not ordering. The woman suddenly, became nice, to my BF. Male centered woman on board. My hmmm isn't into that centering BS. She very nicely said. I'm trying to take this ladies order. My BF put his food down on the counter in front of her, and simply said, I do not want my food either then and we walked out. My suggestion would be to clean up the place, retrain employees, and get some authentic Italians in there to help. I didn't take pics of the problem employees, because if the owner wants to know who they are, he can reach out. They do not need to be on blast, for being consistently rude, because this was not the first time, and it's always the same people. They know who they are.

It's been forever since I've been and yes I have a location closer to where we live, but my friend and I were in the area for a class and she's never had their subs. So this location is part of a large strip mall. The inside is like most of the locations kind of dark and the sandwich making is very light and bright. The staff was helpful and made us some good sandwiches. I had the Roast Beef with all kinds of stuff on it on Plain Bread. I'm gonna be honest usually there bread is hard so it's one of the reasons I pass on this place, also they don't toast subs or have hot red pepper spread. That's just me though. My friend got The Godfather and she really enjoyed it it had all sorts of things on it and for a first time visitor she liked it, it's now off of here Rochester Food Bucket List. As for me I really enjoyed my sandwich but it missed something for me maybe I should have gotten banana peppers for a little kick of heat. The bread is good but those subs get messy as you eat them. We ate inside and other than us inside was a few people doing pick up. The place could have been a tad cleaner. If you don't wanna do a sub with bread you can do a salad version. I give them a 3.5, staff is good, food tasty, but it needs to be a little tidier. They share a parking lot.
