Stopped by Tea Tree Cafe today and had a great experience! I ordered an iced coffee with almond…read moremilk and vanilla, and it was perfectly balanced--just the way I like it - not overly sweet. For food, I grabbed the Ziggy Wrap with bacon and avocado. It was delicious; everything tasted sooo good, especially the oranges on the side!! The staff were super friendly and made the whole visit easy and welcoming. I loved the options of sweet and salty that they have displayed (I was tempted by everything) Definitely a solid spot - will be back!

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.

Good drinks, passable food, minimal human interaction…read more The café was surprisingly spacious. You enter through the ordering area on the right, which opens up to additional seating on the left. Interactions with staff were purely transactional, no small talk or pleasantries, unlike what others have experienced. My drink was ready within a few minutes, while my food took 15. Maple Cinnamon Chai: autumn in a cup. The spices added a cozy warmth to the chai, and the balance of tea to milk was just right. The maple syrup was subtle, leaving a light, sweet aftertaste. Lovely seasonal option. Beechwood Bowl: customizable bowl with your choice of protein, cheese, and sauce. The base comes with two eggs, potatoes, onions, and peppers. I went with sausage, vegan mozzarella, and sriracha mayo. The to-go version came in a paper box with utensils. The portion was on the smaller side, but the potatoes and veggies were well-seasoned and nicely cooked. The eggs were soft but a bit bland. The sausage was finely chopped and on the salty side. The vegan mozzarella added a creamy texture. The sriracha mayo had good flavor, but the drizzle was too light to carry through the whole dish. The standout was the crispy potatoes, everything else was just okay. I wouldn't return for the food, but the drinks were memorable. I'd definitely come back for their coffee or tea.

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.

They can make everything pretty much gluten free (egg bites already are, and there is gf bread available). They also have vegan and vegetarian options. They had seasonal drinks.

Outlets available for those who want to come and do some work on their computer. They also have a cute outdoor eating area with umbrellas for shade!

The walls are filled with music-themed touches, and they host music trivia and other fun events on select days and evenings. There's plenty of seating inside, plus outdoor seating during the warmer months -- with the added bonus of being right on the water. 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!

We just ordered breakfast sandwiches (2) so we didn't think it would be long. As we waited, atleast 20 min, we barely saw any tables getting food so we inquired on how long it would be for the order and we were told they weren't sure?!!!! It came out right after luckily but not being able to say how long it would be was off putting and I wish they would've given a disclaimer before ordering. There is a whole separate section across a hallway with tables full of people also waiting for their food so it was very deceiving where you order to know how many people are ahead of you .
