    Super cute and cozy cafe. The decor is really unique. The vibe was welcoming. 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.

    What a cute spot! Love the plants, wall paper, the overall look. My drink was DELICIOUS!! I did an iced chai with espresso and their banana bread flavor and cold foam. Perfectly iced. Not too much, but also enough so it's cold! Also, this is one of the most delicious cold foams I've ever had! I sadly couldn't taste any banana flavor though. My only feedback would be to add some signage on the back door. I had a stroller and wasn't able to go through the front. I was going to leave, but decided to walk around the back of the building. I found the unmarked door and just went for it. Glad I did :) The baristas were also very friendly and laid back. I had my two babies with me and the barista encouraged me to let my son touch the wind chime hanging in the corner, and that made his morning. Will absolutely be back, love supporting a family owned business.

    Cute and cozy coffee shop. I got their winter menu - the winter spice with fig, coconut and orange. I didn't fall in love with the bend of flavors, but I like the approach! I would be back if I'm in the vicinity.

    Expresso, "Murphy" latte, cake and banana bread.

    Cozy, comfortable, and calm. Very chill and serene; good vibes. The Murphy latte is a must have. About the size of my family room with a few tables.

    Always amazing coffee, friendly and helpful staff, and a great atmosphere both inside and on the back patio! I recommend this place to all my friends.

    We had the pleasure of trying Mercury coffee on the go at a non profit event. Their Americano and peppermint mocha was absolutely delicious. The baristi was fantastic. Menu was easy to read and abundant options to choose from. Quick service at this event.

    Lattes

    Excellent friendly servers. Highly talented barista. Delicious lattes. Egg sandwiches were OK but they're not made in the house and you could taste they are not freshly made. That said I would absolutely go back. It is small, but we were able to find plenty of seating. Highly recommend stopping in here if you get a chance!

    Mercury Coffee is such a vibe. The flavors are always on point, the staff is genuinely so kind, and the whole space just feels warm and inviting. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in, relax, and actually enjoy your coffee. Highly recommend if you're looking for something cozy and consistently good.

    new coffee spot in Rochester. it's cozy and has a seasonal menu alongside their regular menu. I tried one of their autumn drinks, the Murphy which is a cinnamon/vanilla latte. I'd say it's alright, your typical latte but I think not enough to justify it being $6.75 lol. I'm curious about their spring menu! new coffee spot in Rochester. it's cozy and has a seasonal menu alongside their regular menu.

During this visit, I ordered a hot pistachio latte, a small iced caramel latte with cold foam, and a slice of tiramisu. The presentation was beautiful, but the food and drinks didn't quite live up to the appearance. The iced caramel latte tasted a bit watery, which has been my experience on more than one visit, and the hot pistachio latte was just okay. The biggest disappointment was the tiramisu. It was overly soaked in coffee, didn't taste very fresh, and wasn't what I expected. One thing I really appreciated was the service. The cashier was incredibly kind and accommodating. Since I'm currently pregnant and can only have decaf coffee, she made sure my order was clearly communicated to the team, which I was very grateful for. The café itself is aesthetically beautiful, although we did have to wipe down our table because there were crumbs left from the previous guests. The seating is nice, but the chairs could be more comfortable if you plan to stay for an extended period. My only other suggestion would be to improve customer engagement at the register. On a few visits, it has felt like employees finished conversations with coworkers before helping customers. Overall, I enjoy coming to Layali because the ambiance is one of the best in Rochester. While I think the coffee and desserts could be more consistent, I'd still return to enjoy the atmosphere and give more of the menu a try.

The gentleman who helped me was very friendly and helpful. I decided to tthe borek. It's a pastry that can be made either savory or sweet, I decided to have mine with. Spinach and cheese. I also ordered the baklava, and a little cup of the Turkish coffee (whoa!!). The Borek , I didn't look that big in the case spoiler alert, it was.... The dough was wonderfully flaky , and the filling was amazingly savory. I liked the spinach, and I'm not sure what type of cheese it was. But it played with the spinach perfectly it reminded me very much of a spanakopita, which I also love. The baklava was also excellent. It was perfectly flaky on the outside, and the honey, and the nuts inside were just fantastic. It is one of the better baklava that I have ever had. Now let's talk about the Turkish coffee. I've had Lebanese coffee, and I loved, and Ithought was strong.... the Turkish coffee makes Lebanese coffee taste like decaf that you would get from a cheap corner diner. With just a little bit of milk and sugar, it was perfect it was rich, and it was strong! At this point, I could probably make it to six hours to my destination without a car :). All of this great food, and I was only roughly out the door 20 bucks. For such high-quality food, it was worth it. I hope I'm back in Rochester again, because I would easily stop here again.

I came in for something simple and left fully committed to the experience. The Turkish coffee arrived in the most adorable cup, strong and velvety with that classic, unapologetic depth, paired with a soft, rose-kissed Turkish delight that made the whole thing feel like a ritual rather than just a caffeine stop. I took my time to enjoy every sip of it. And then the rice pudding. Served warm in a rustic clay bowl, topped generously with pistachios--it hit that perfect balance of creamy, lightly sweet, and comforting without being heavy. One of those desserts that sneaks up on you and suddenly you're scraping the bottom of the dish. The space itself is cozy and thoughtfully put together, and the people working there genuinely elevate it. Kind, welcoming, and happy to let you linger a bit, which feels increasingly rare. The first thing I noticed is how healthy and vibrant the plants look and to me that was the winning point. This is a great cozy spot for folks who don't enjoy social interactions and high energy vibes. It's more for the slow in the moment experience to sip and relax.

This is the type of place that makes café lovers feel right at home, even when traveling.
