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.

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. This spot is officially on my list of must-visits anytime I'm in Rochester.

I had the chai which was pretty standard for a chai. My friend ordered their seasonal mint matcha which was surprisingly refreshing. While I didn't try the food, I did see the menu and there seemed to be a variety of options there too. The space was clean and well maintained. 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.

So thankful to finally explore this new addition to the neighborhood. I have been loving the new…read moreMiddle Eastern cafes that are popping up in our neighborhood. From my understanding, the owner is from Syria and I have some very good friends who are Syrian so it was good to experience more of their culture. The decor and space is beautifully decorated. They have 2 floors of ample seating room with comfy couches on the first floor and separate tables upstairs for studying, working or catching up with a friend. We tried their Chai tea and Pistachio latte and one of their tomato fatayers. They were out of some of their fatayer pastries since everything is made fresh but we appreciated trying what they still had for the day. Will definitely be back to try their specialty breakfast.

A great place for all three meals as their menu is available all day. It is spacious and I can picture coming here for a coffee dessert and a book to enjoy. An Arabic breakfast is one of my favorite meals to have and knowing I can come here for an authentic meal is exciting. Today we got the tamarind chili iced tea, and it was unique sour and refreshing. We got an assortment of 6 dips/sides with warm bread. An absolute treat. This place is open until 12am on weekends and 10pm on weekdays so call ahead just in case you're planning to come late. So happy something is open past 9pm for a late bite.

We both ordered the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, which was light, refreshing, and delicious. It does lean a bit sweet for those who mind, but we certainly didn't. The pastry case was almost overwhelming in the best way -- everything looked amazing. We ended up choosing the Honey Cake and the Strawberry Shortcake. The shortcake was lovely: light, flavorful, and topped with the most perfect whipped cream. Then we tried the Honey Cake and were absolutely blown away. It was airy, delicately sweet, and so craveable that we could have easily eaten a few more slices. Truly outstanding. The interior is spotless and beautifully designed, and their patio made for a wonderful place to enjoy our treats. We'll definitely be returning.

I love the pastel de nata latte, and I appreciate that they offer dairy-free options. They also let you choose between medium or dark roast for your coffee. Today I tried their spring special, the pistachio cannoli latte, and it was delicious. The Portuguese egg tarts are absolutely to die for! On weekdays, they have a wheel at the register that you can spin for free or discounted drinks, and they also offer a punch card loyalty program. I'll definitely be coming back to Elvio's!
