What a darling cafe! AMBIANCE The decor and ambiance of this place is worth a stop alone. Pint florals, comfy seating, great light fixtures and little touches. I posted up at one of the tables to take a call and get some work done. It worked well for me for an afternoon. SERVICE Counter service was helpful and kind - not the quickest to prepare the drinks and items but I had time! FOOD/DRINK I got a matcha latte and a cheesecake here! The prices were pretty high, but I enjoyed both items. The matcha wasn't very hot, but still tasted great. Such a cute spot to meet friends or get a change of scenery in Rochester! read more

This was a place I ducked into when it was snowing outside. It looked cozy and I'm so glad I stopped by. These are a few things I tried: - pistachio cheesecake - highly recommend, pistachio flavor shines through - olive oil cake - not flavorful, dry, personally do not recommend - lemon cheesecake - delicious! Highly recommend - drink: Cinnamon Dolce Latte. This just tasted sweet to me and did not stand out. To be honest, it tasted like most sugary coffee drinks to me. Maybe I'm just not partial to that. Service: they had 2 people working and both were very friendly. Waited about 10 min for my drink. Lovely ambiance in a nicely decorated cafe. read more

Stumbled across this place while exploring Rochester and was drawn to it. Absolutely adorably decorated with a cute atmosphere and ambiance. Ordered a chocolate lava cake and latte--both were excellent. Service was prompt, and would definitely go again read more

We stopped in here while waiting for a table at a restaurant a couple doors down. It was a short stay but there were a couple highlights to go off of. At first glance before walking through the doors, I liked the vibe. It felt very modern and inviting. The colors and decor makes for a good Instagram worthy moment. The selection of baked goods made it hard for me to pick one. I love a good lemon-y baked good and there was more than enough to choose from. I settled on the olive oil cake. I'd always wanted to make one but haven't had the template to compare to. To accompany this, I got the rose earl grey latte. The olive oil cake wasn't anything special but it did have quite a bit of lemon to it that it almost felt like eating a lemon bar. Earl grey is one of my favorite teas and this iteration of it was simply delightful. No notes. I'd certainly love to come back and try a few more things! read more

This is such a cute coffee shop. I have lived in Rochester for 5 years and just discovered this gem in December. Their cinnamon dolce latte is so good. I ordered a small and received a medium one. I was told that's the size for all the specialty drinks. But when I came in December for the same thing, I got a small. I don't like to drink large amounts but I just played it off. Their chocolate lava cake is also really good and they offer other dessert options as well. read more

We were blinded by the light - the decor is really what sold us on coming in for a little treat, it is so cute in here. Dim lights, comfortable seating, faux florals everywhere just a super cute aesthetically pleasing cafe. A slice of cheesecake is $8 I feel this is a little steep the chocolate lava cake was probably the best out of the treats we tried. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the strawberry matcha or the Thai tea. read more

The atmosphere is beautiful upon walking in! So beautiful and fun! I went in for an espresso. The baristas described the espresso as rich and chocolatey, which drew me in. The first sips were full of rich, deep flavor but found the final sips to be slightly sour. Next time, I plan to try the cold brew. read more

Adorable and quiet space to enjoy a cup of tea. Decorated so cute! Blueberry tea was amazing! The avocado egg sandwich was nothing fancy but perfectly acceptable just a little bland but the ingredients were good. The pistachio macaroon was delicious. read more

THE CUTEST CAFE IN ROCHESTER!!! Such a little gem in downtown Rochester, discovered this place late last year and I'm obsessed! They have non dairy options which is thoughtful + some of the desserts are gluten free (but not vegan). I've tried 3-4 of their specialty drinks and I haven't been disappointed! The strawberry matcha is AMAZING. Plenty of sitting space and perfect place to take pictures. The service was fast and friendly. Women owned + great way to support a local business. read more

Small cafe located downtown Rochester. I liked how quick the service was and the quiet atmosphere. The desserts I assume are not made by the cafe since they are mostly refrigerated deserts and I haven't seen signs of an oven or other baking equipment. read more

This place is a whole vibe. On the afternoon I visited, it was quiet and beautiful. One couple talking quietly. Several people with laptops. Parking was easy but not free. The menu looks amazing. I love supporting local woman owned places. I ordered six macarons to go to share with my tween. She loved all of them. I liked the Strawberry cheesecake, although the texture was a bit off. I'm glad I tried the Blueberry, but I would rather have had another Strawberry. And...the reason for three stars is that the Fruit Pebble macaron was so disgusting I cannot believe my kid ate it all without saying anything. I'd definitely go back here to try other things bc of the good reviews, but I feel compelled to tell you to try the macarons at your own risk. read more

Such a beautiful place! All the flavors sound amazing. I only tried the blueberry cobbler cheesecake and the raspberry limoncello cake. The limoncello would be good for someone into lemon. Not my cup of tea. But the blueberry cheesecake was pretty good! read more

Here for business and came here for coffee and dessert. Service was great. Welcoming smiles and friendly. The expresso was tasty. I had thr salted caramel cake and it was delicious. However, I could not believe how little you get for the price. The slice looked like a half of a regular slice. Shrinkflation in effect at Mezza9. It was good but I wont be coming back. read more

Mezza9 Cafe & Desserts - Thats a small 8oz cup besides my $8 piece of cake. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

The afternoon tea set is amazing! Had it one my birthday 3/3 ! I had the Blueberry Rooibos Tea with the little delicacies. As a vegetarian I requested for a veggie sandwich instead of the ham/turkey sandwich. They were very kind to cater my request. The sandwich and desserts were delicious. The best part is the tea ! If you are a caffeine-sensitive person like me and want to try decafe tea , definitely try the Blueberry Rooibos Tea ! Apart from that i visit this place for their other desserts. Their matcha strawberry green milk tea was delicious. The caprese sandwich is available only for breakfast/brunch and its a mist try too ! The ambience is amazing and very european. read more

I love this cafe! Definitely one of my most frequented locations for a mid-day coffee/matcha break during the work day. Super relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with the cutest decor! I often go for the maple matcha, but I've been meaning to branch out and try out some of their more unique menu items (butterfly pea tea matcha, anyone?). I'm convinced you can't go wrong with any of the drinks here. One of downtown Rochester's best cafes and a great women-owned, local business to support! read more

This place is so freaking cute but my husband went and got us both a latte this morning and it was just horrible. We both can't drink them. He went to get us a cup of tea here at the hotel. I am not very fussy but this was strange. Almost flavored with something. It's too bad because the place itself it's super pretty. I've never tasted espresso like this in a latte. Normally it has a nutty flavor. read more

I was excited to try this place and it looked really cute online, but the staff wasn't friendly and I was missing 2 macaroons in my order. I am not a local and found out I was missing them only after I left, so I am actually pretty bummed about that. The vanilla oat milk matcha latte was good though! However, the avocado toast was shoved in a box that makes me feel bad for it. Overall, place was overhyped but I liked the area it was located in. read more

Nice cafe to sit and take a break. This was my first time having a tarro latte with oat milk... wow, you must try. However, it is made from a powder that contains milk, so if you're allergic to dairy, stay away. The matcha latte is another option. read more

Fantastic new patisserie in Rochester, MN. The whole vibe was chill. The pastries are delicious and they have a wide variety. I tried the carrot cake and it was amazing! A great balance of flavor and texture. I paired it with a cafe au lait (great combo). There's plenty of street parking around the area. For what I could see, it was never crowded. Definitely give it a try! read more

Such a pretty and cozy setting with delicious coffee and desserts. The staff was friendly, helpful and someone even stopped at our table to ask how we were doing, which has never happened for me at a coffee cafe before. The lemon curd cake with fresh berries was divine and the macarons, yummy (we tried pistachio & strawberry cheesecake)! Definitely a delightful downtown place to meet for a sweet snack or coffee! read more

This place was really cute on the inside and they workers were really nice. I also enjoyed how quiet it was inside of there. I ordered 3 macrons for my toddler but only got a picture of one. He had the cookies and crème, birthday cake, and blueberry one. The blueberry one was his favorite but all the flavors he tried were toddler approved. I had the salted caramel vanilla crunch cake and it was so good and moist. I will return and try some other things from the menu and I'd highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Came here for coffee while staying nearby. Terrific coffee and friendly service. I love the ambiance.

I have given 2 yelp reviews in 12 yrs and I am logging on to say that the sky high chocolate cake at Mezza9 is unequivocally the best chocolate cake I have had in my life. It is the platonic ideal of what a chocolate should be. Perfect cake texture, ratio of icing and moderate sweetness. I have lived in San Francisco, NYC and travelled most of the country and many parts of the world, and this is the best. Very nice work read more

I was excited to have a European bakery in town, and the cakes/desserts were delicious, but I wouldn't describe them as European if that is what you are looking for. Most of the macarons didn't have the right texture (hard like a cracker, or too chewy). I went on the second day they were open so I am still hoping they improve! The vibe is nice though. I will probably try them again, was just a little disappointed with the first visit. read more

Great service, a bit over priced and the pastries were not the best. Beautiful place tho, very clean and love the decoration but not worth the money. read more
