Coco's Shop is a fantastic place to buy personalized items. The owner delivered beyond our expectations by providing a 3 in 1 customized koozie to suit everyone's needs. I have purchased gear from her in the past including football sleeves and personalized cups either Bills or local high school team that my son plays for. The owner does various items and has an eye for detail and perfection. Locally made right in Rochester. We will continue to go to here for our crafting needs.

This was such a cute event, and the ornaments were reasonably priced. I love how they featured local artists at this event, so that we were able to interact with them and create a one-of-a-kind ornament together. Service was great-- the shop had such a friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend that you stop by at least to browse, but try to attend one of their events as well!

For years now I have been adding to my Pottery Pinterest board... and one of the first artisans I…read morefollowed was Katy. I found out that Katy's creations were actually sold out of East Main Clay so I reached out to Katy and she kindly sent me photos of what they had in stock. I wish I would have taken more photos but I bought items for the Housewarming Baskets I was doing for Emancipated Foster Youth and I treated myself to this planter recently. The item was packed very well and shipped quickly. The customer service is always kind and patient as there is a 3-hour time difference. You can always check out their current inventory on their Instagram account. I wished that some of our local gift shops would carry their items. Respectfully Reviewed.

This is truly one of the best gift shops around…read more I don't live in Rochester, but I do spend Christmas there every year. Parkleigh has saved my life by stocking all the gifts I forgot to get, didn't want to cart all the way to Western New York, or didn't even know I wanted to buy. They have something for everyone, and I truly mean that. If you can't find a gift for someone here, it's because that person doesn't like anything at all. They've got chocolates of all kinds, tea and coffee ground to order (which I wish I'd known before I'd bought mine elsewhere), beauty products, stuffed animals, coasters, books, flasks, camping gear, cookware, Bills gear, candy, and of course, socks, cards, mugs, shirts, hats, and anything else you could want with clever and funny little sayings. Seriously, so many socks. I've never seen this many socks that talk about drinking wine. But if that's something you need in your life, get over to Parkleigh. Also, the staff is super sweet and helpful.

We've been shopping at Parkleigh for over 20 years, and it remains one of the most unique stores…read morewe've ever lived near or visited. What keeps drawing us back is the incredible mix they've perfected-- everything from sentimental to silly, practical to indulgent, fragrant to delicious. Their selection spans greeting cards, gourmet chocolates, coffees and teas, local Rochester items, MacKenzie‑Childs, jewelry, toys, and an ever‑changing rotation of gifts from both local and international makers. The store itself is beautiful, with exposed brick, hardwood floors, original tin ceilings, and eye‑catching displays that make wandering the aisles feel like opening a present. What we love most is that there is always something new, fun, or beautiful to explore, no matter how many times we visit. After two decades, we're still excited to walk through the door, and we know we'll keep coming back for many years to come.

I've picked up beautiful cards - I love their watercolor ones. While pricier than the average card, they're one of a kind so you're getting something special, making it extra sentimental for that occasion. Their shop features some gift items as well like their watercolor clutches and silk scarves - both beautiful! Also mini calendars and prints. Andrea's watercolors are beyond words. I have a print that I was gifted and my boyfriend has purchased a few pieces for his house. The shop is also their workspace. They do amazing designs for baby showers, wedding invitations, and everything in between. It definitely goes beyond my creative abilities so you know they'll be able to create something just right for you and they're timeless. The display they have for "inspiration" is mind blowing. I can't wait to use them for that down the road.

The Siren is a very unique addition to Rochester's coffee shop options! My fiance and I met up with…read moretwo friends for a coffee date on MLK day, so it was a bit more crowded than usual with the holiday. With a party of 4 it was a little tough to get a table but we eventually snagged one on the first floor. We got hot oat milk matcha lattes. My only other experience with matcha was at Happy Earth Tea which set the bar high, and I was very satisfied with the matcha flavor in our Siren lattes too. I ended up ordering a second one -- pricey but worth it. There's more seating upstairs as well, but the vibe is much quieter on the second floor than it is downstairs. I'm not sure if that's always the case, or if it just happened to be that day that more people brought work/study to that area of the shop. So if you're looking for a place to talk, your mileage may vary. Plenty of bathrooms on each floor. I will have to return again to give the book selection a better assessment, but overall the selection was varied and full enough for a shop its size. Overall this is a fun place to take a friend for coffee or for a solo date with a book. I'll definitely be back.

I was in the mood for a treat after a recent appointment, and happened to be driving by The Siren…read moreand The Sea. I've had this place on my "to try" list since then opened, so decided it was the perfect time to stop. Unfortunately, it just didn't end up appealing to me in the way I had hoped. While there are some books in the downstairs part of the store, the majority of them are upstairs. Shopping the downstairs shelves is a bit awkward because there are tables/chairs for people enjoying their goodies from the cafe... so you're maneuvering around them while trying to look at the books available for sale on the shelves. It feels like you're disrupting people. While shopping upstairs, there are a variety of smaller book sections, as well as desks, an area for kids (with bean bags), and a corner seating area for two. While I was wandering the upstairs, there was someone loudly using their phone to practice Duolingo... which, while I appreciate the desire to learn another language, would really put me off wanting to use any of the reading or work spaces upstairs. Kinda ruined the vibe. They had some cute stickers and accessories for sale on the 2nd floor, but i didn't end up getting of them because I told myself I would only purchase them if I could find at least one book to buy... and I just didn't. Anyone who knows me would tell you that it's pretty much impossible for me to not find a book of interest... but I just didn't find anything that struck me... so no books, no stickers, no reading accessories. I wandered back downstairs and thought I'd have better luck with something from the cafe, but alas... no. The cafe menu seemed pretty limited, and there were basically no pastries left (just before 2pm on a Monday). The drink that I did end up trying (their special available for that day) wasn't especially memorable either, unfortunately. TL;DR Wanted to love The Siren and The Sea, but it just didn't do it for me... might be a nice workspace, and has a generally welcoming vibe, but I actually left *without buying any books* & the cafe aspect felt very generic, unfortunately. :(
