On a recent visit to Rochester, one of my friends and I met up at this cool location for a coffee and to catch up. There are options galore for drinks and they're so good. I loved my marshmallow latte. They have options for board games, events they host, and a small corner for small/local artists to share and sell their products. It was so interesting to explore and look around while I caught up with an old friend. Next time I'm in Rochester, I'm definitely coming back.

Dream Town was the right spot for that during my stay in Rochester. Words to describe this place would include bright, clean, halal, friendly, variety. You have lots of breakfast options, and breakfast sandwiches can be either on regular rolls or sub rolls. But they also have a nice selection of grocery options, and their "wall o'Pringles" was amazing." So... cheaper than a restaurant, and fresher and better than the equivalent at a breakfast chain restaurant... what's not to like?

Inside, the decor was very interesting with a Halloween figure, standing tall and lots of pictures, art and awards covering the walls. The folks here greeted me and patiently took my order. I was only a little hungry so I ordered just one item - their claim-to-fame Cuban sandwich. Which was surprisingly quite good! The bread, which is handmade, was not pressed but warm, thin, and soft with enough to still hold the sandwich together. The pulled pork, finely sliced ham, melted white cheese, a bit of thin cabbage, pickles, and the works all came together in a happy marriage of juicy, savory, and slightly tangy deliciousness. Their pastries also looked very good and with how tasty the homemade bread was, I imagine the empanadas would be tasty as well. They even have a beef banana flavor which I want to try next time. So apparently the best Cuban sandwich in upstate New York is really quite tasty. I'm sorry I ever doubted you! And I will be sure to make another stop when I'm back in town.

I didn't say anything to my friend but she also mentioned the use of the words guys.,it's a little burger bar joint so I know it's informal and that's nitpicky but I feel how I feel. She was on top of filling waters, the food came promptly. She set the check down without asking if we wanted dessert maybe they do t have any...I don't know but that was a missed opportunity. The food was really good. I got pizza logs...they are the same exact pizza logs you get anywhere else. The burger...mmmmm. I got the bacon blue. I asked for crispy bacon a well done burger, no lettuce or tomato. As you can see by my photo-it had lettuce. My order was repeated back to me so that's kitchen's fault. Easy enough to pick off. I would have like more blue cheese dressing...I couldn't tell if it was in there. This isn't the kind of bacon that gets crispy but it was done enough for me. The burgers are thin. Butter toasted roll. It was a nearly great burger! I had cottage cheese as a side and it was extremely 'creamy'...I can't say for sure but I feel like some milk was added to cut costs and stretch it because it was like soup. I wasn't able to each much of it. This place was so close to a five...and if you want a really good burger-this is the place.
