I'm in town visiting from Philadelphia and was excited to try all of the local coffee shops out. my…read morehusband and i are vegan and we found this shop on our second day in town and i had a nice latte and he had a nice hot chocolate, the staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions without hesitation. my only gripe was that we ordered the avocado toast without the egg and the feta and we got two pieces of pretty bland bread with roasted tomatoes and micro-greens for about $11 a piece. i think it being such a small town, there should be at least one vegan item on the menu. the shop itself is spacious with plenty of seating and overall a good vibe, we ended up going to visit twice on our trip but it wouldn't be my first choice in the area.

My girlfriend got the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso - which she thought was fantastic, and I got the cold brew (black) which was not too strong and was very tasty. The drinks even came in 20oz cups for caffeine lovers. To eat, we got a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito which were both offered with a variety of add ons. The avocado was sliced, and the potatoes were in the burrito, not on the side. The service was friendly and kind. I would recommend this breakfast to everyone.

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 .

My mom said "walk around downtown and take some pics" I did that. as I was doing that I came across this little bakery. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE local bakeries vs buying the processed crap at the stores or buying things at Wegmans, Albertsons, etc bakeries where they no longer bake at the actual stores anymore. Thats just sad. Anyway, I walked in here. The lady was nice. She seemed a little sketched out though for some reason, but super kick back at the same time if that makes sense? lol Anyway, told her I was just checking things out and I would let her know if I needed anything. She came back out from the front and asked again if I needed anything. So, I got a blueberry muffin. I LOVE blueberry muffins, but I never buy them anymore bc I no longer eat most things like that. It's a sad, lonely choice I made....to cut out all the tasty treats in the world lol NOT THIS DAY THO!! haha! I could not resist. The looked incredible and for $2 a piece being as big as they were...I had to. UNBELIEVABLY delicious. I was so happy I got it. Was so tempted to get a few other things, but Ive been so good with my diet...I had to refrain from doing so and just accept my boring, no sugar treats, kind of life lol I absolutely recommend this place. Prices are decent, the lady is nice, but she should realize that not all of us are bad :) The place itself is super cute, very homey, lots to look at and HEY! its a local bakery! You should always support places like this...over Wegmans and certainly over....ugh Walmart! Thanks for reading, Yelpers! Cheers!

I am a cake connoisseur. I test cakes from many bakeries and compare the taste and texture…read more I am not as concerned with decoration or presentation, although an attractive cake is nice to have. It is very unfortunate that the old ethnic bakeries have gone away and replaced primarily by grocery stores. It appears that the children of the old ethnic bakeries saw how hard their parents worked and decided to become doctors and lawyers and such. The delicious cakes of our long ago memories are gone. I visit a lot of new bakeries trying to relive my past memories. It appears that most of these new bakeries utilize standard cake mixes available from a variety of sources. They may add an ingredient of two to try to make it taste more homemade, but they all fail my taste and texture tests. Most are light and fluffy cake with average icing. They do look good however, but that is not what I look for. I look for taste and texture. I was very pleasantly surprised with our recent visit to Sweet Solutions on Main Street in Canandaigua. I ordered two large cakes for a corporate event. One was Vanilla/Vanilla and the other was Triple Chocolate. WOW ! Both cakes were exceptional in both taste and texture. They looked great too. Both cakes were devoured by the 45 people in attendance. Sweet Solutions mentioned that each cake would serve about 40 people. They must serve small slices. Our guests had two and three helpings apiece. Everyone raved on how great the cakes were. I personally had three pieces (large by the way) and would have had more the next day if any were available. The visit to Sweet Solutions took me back to the 60's and 70's when Shreck's and Vecchi's bakeries in Canandaigua when I was a child. Both were exceptional bakeries that were local institutions. There are a few bakeries in Rochester, NY who make some nice cakes but they are not as good as Sweet Solutions in Canandaigua, NY. My wife is ordering another today ! I am overjoyed to finally find a bakery that can meet my high standards. I can honestly say that Sweet Solutions is the best in the greater Rochester area. Thanks for reading.

This beautiful…read morecafe (located in the heart of Canandaigua) is run by the Ontario County Arc and employs individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The goal is to teach individuals life skills while serving up yummy drinks. My boyfriend and I tried out North Star Cafe before heading back to Boston and fell in love with the people, the space, and our drinks. The barista we had was honest and didn't hesitate at all in critiquing every flavor choice on the menu which my boyfriend and I appreciated! We knew we were in great hands when he recommended and made us what he loves most on the menu. I got a coconut/white chocolate mocha and my boyfriend got a classic mocha - both iced with whole milk. We both love almond milk, but the barista we had that morning said we simply could not ruin his drinks with almond milk... so whole milk it was! Honestly, this cafe is amazing and I wish we still lived in Rochester so I could frequent more often. However, it is a great place to visit when we're in town!
