I love the little shopping area they have in the front of the store. They have such cute duck umbrellas! I have a gluten intolerance, and there weren't that many things on the menu I could have so I decided to ask if the burrito could be made as a bowl. The woman taking my order was awesome. She went to the kitchen to ask for me, and they said yes. I'm so glad I asked, it was soooo good. The lime crema sauce was refreshing. The beans were tasty. I just really appreciated that they could accommodate my dietary concerns.

We're not that picky so we chose to drink them as is Instead of bother staff but I'm sure they would have helped fix it if asked. The lattes were very pretty and tasty. The mocha has a soft chocolate flavor which I prefer. Cookie my son got was great as well. They have a little shop area which I also enjoyed browsing. Bathroom is really nice BUT no changing station unless they want to count the wooden decorative table. Don't tempt me I'll use it Justice for parents just trying to exist in public spaces with their children! Overall I did really enjoy our stop in today!

We received fast, friendly service. They offer a wide selection of drinks and food. A decent amount of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. I had kind of planned on a iced coffee before arriving since it was a hot day, but after discovering they offered more than just black tea for their iced teas I went with a strawberry iced tea. It was made from fresh brewed herbal tea and unsweetened. The perfect, refreshing sip for a hot day! My friends both opted for strawberry smoothies and said they were good.

For food, I grabbed the Ziggy Wrap with bacon and avocado. It was delicious; everything tasted sooo good, especially the oranges on the side!!

I loved the options of sweet and salty that they have displayed (I was tempted by everything) Definitely a solid spot - will be back!

I'm always looking for coffee shops with creative drinks, both outdoor and indoor seating, free…read moreWiFi, and that are study session friendly. Tree Town Cafe is one that I wouldn't have found if I didn't see it on a list of Rochester coffee shops. I feel like this cafe is sort of a hidden gem. I've been here twice-- once in the summer for an evening dinner on the patio, and most recently for a cozy study session in the winter. It's open decently late (for a coffee shop in Rochester) on weekdays (7pm), which is perfect for studying. They have plenty of parking in their parking lot. Their outdoor seating is placed directly in front of their building with plenty of shade, or in the grassy area next to the parking lot. It seems to be a kid-friendly cafe as well, since they have play areas. They have a cute indoor shop with food-related gifts like baked goodies, coffee, chocolate bars, and even dog treats. The service was wonderful, and they were very willing to make a call to the baker to check my allergies. There's not a lot of indoor seating, but it was enough to find a spot to study. The space heater in the small room was essential, although it got a little cool next to the glass once it started to get dark. As I mentioned, they do have free WiFi.

If you find yourself in Fairport, this is hands down my favorite place to get a latte. Not only can…read moreyou bring back a half gallon of your favorite latte to enjoy at home, but you can sit and enjoy a latte and food with friends in their beautiful seating area. I had been to this plaza before for Iron Smoke and for Pickleball (yea, I know, I'm 25 going on 65). But was lucky enough to try this location on a recent Rochester visit. This location easily makes my top 5 for Rochester area latte locations.

The café was charming and decked out for Pride Month, with colorful decor, posters for community events, and plenty of information on local resources. I also noticed a great selection of drink-related merch and add-ons. I ordered an iced shaken espresso with pistachio syrup--it was fantastic.

I had the chai which was pretty standard for a chai. My friend ordered their seasonal mint matcha which was surprisingly refreshing.

They did seem to be short staffed too but our orders came out quick and it didn't feel delayed

We stopped in specifically because they advertise pour overs, but the experience didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I ordered a Kenya pour over, and unfortunately it tasted closer to basic diner or convenience-store drip coffee--slightly burnt and lacking any of the clarity or flavor notes you'd expect from a properly prepared pour over. As someone who regularly makes pour overs at home, this was especially disappointing because there was no distinction in taste or quality. The preparation process also didn't feel intentional. The pour seemed rushed and inconsistent--initially a quick dump of water, then the barista stepped away to do other tasks, came back intermittently, and finished with a more uneven, spray-like pour. There didn't appear to be any timer use or focused brewing process, which may explain the lack of extraction quality. On top of that, pricing felt on the higher side. Milk alternatives and mocha add-ons each came with additional charges, which stacked up quickly. Service-wise, staff were polite but not particularly engaging or welcoming, which made the overall experience feel even more transactional. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're going specifically for high-quality pour overs or craft coffee. It may work better for standard espresso drinks or quick stops, but it didn't deliver on the specialty coffee experience we were hoping for.
