My cappuccino I ordered was great, but it took over 10 minutes to get it which seemed a bit excessive, especially because I was on-the-go. There were a few people ahead of me and it seemed like they were waiting for about the same amount of time. The coffee I ordered wasn't too extravagant, a cappuccino with oatmilk and caramel flavor. The workers behind the counter just didn't seem like they had much urgency (chatting with each other and checking their phones).

It was not too sweet, which made for easy eating after a big dinner. The cake was moist and the frosting/icing was light and airy.

I also want to add that my mom called and left a message about ordering this cake and her call was returned quickly after. Great experience at Give Thanks and we can't wait to try more yummy things!

I don't always drink tea, but when I do, you bet it's only loose leaf! I wish I'd known about this…read moreplace sooner because it's not only close to home, but absolutely fabulous. I found them a few weeks ago when I did a search of stores who actually sell loose leaf tea. The reason I like loose leaf tea versus the garbage sold in the stores is because it comes out way more flavorful, stronger and seems to taste a lot better than the stuff they sell at the grocery. I am also shocked that nobody else has been here before, as I know a few tea drinker who also happen to be active yelpers. Interesting. Anyway, the place is easy to find and right off fourth street and visible from the road. There is street parking, but a parking garage is literally right there on the other side of the street if you need it. As you know, downtown Rochester can get busy at times, so easy places to park is important. Walking in, not only is this place a tea store, but it also sells spices. They also have a ton of cool accessories to choose from throughout, which was really super cool to look at. I've also been on the hunt for the individual honey sticks that seem to be hard to find. Not only do they have the honey sticks, but they came in a variety of flavors? Like flavored honey? Exciting! I just grabbed a packet of regular honey sticks which are sitting in my kitchen now. The spice area has a much larger selection of items, from different varieties of salt, but other seasonings as well. I didn't really study the selection as the place was busy but let me tell you, there's a lot! I went to the tea section and they have all sorts of teas to choose from. I wanted something more citrus/lemon/herbal since I have a sinus infection, but I also wanted to see what else they have. Great selection, pre bagged but make sure you have the steeper's at home. If not, they sell them here too. Service was great, and the staff was knowledgeable. Nobody asked me if I needed help or followed me around the store, but when I did talk to them at check out, these people really seem to be tea oriented and educated on the product. While they aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination (more along the lines of Starbucks pricing) they are worth every penny. I will be back in the future and I wish they did a better job of advertising!

The food is great but the management is horrendously inefficient…read more We got into a car accident on our way to meet friends for brunch causing us to run a bit late. We texted our friends our order and were 20 minutes out when the table was ready. They refused to seat our group, demanding we all be there because the table would then be taken up too long (even though our friends had our order and food takes time to cook ANYWAYS). We got to the restaurant and ended up waiting another hour just to be able to get a table that we had been waiting for an insanely long amount of time. There is no flexibility, humanity, or understanding with this restaurant. Only robots who "have policies" and are "sorry - that's just the way things are." Honestly, McDonald's is better at this point. At least the food is on par with the shit service at McDonald's. No point in nice breakfast if the people aren't even.kind

Location is very nice, good thing is that they have a parking lot so we didn't have to struggle for parking. Between the 4 of us we ordered 5 entree and coffees and were able to finish most. Portion sizes are optimal, not tooo huge but definitely not less. Service was great too. Ambience felt like dining at home for a bit, not too fancy which we don't mind. Prices are appropriate, our entire bill was 105$ including tip. I see there is one in Troy by the same franchise, I will try that since that one is in walking distance..

I visited randomly one afternoon during the week and there was no line. The woman who helped me was friendly and patient. Basically, they use the same plain cake donut as the base and then add toppings to your choosing. They had more than 50 options, all small enough so you're able to try at least a few. I got the 6 pack and sampled the coconut, cinnamon sugar, maple, strawberry cheesecake, coffee cake, and snick jagger. I admit I had a hard time because I'm not a fan of overly-sugary toppings, but the maple ended up being my favorite. As I was checking out, I noticed they had doggy donuts too! While they accept credit card, it's a 3% surcharge to your order so if you're sensitive to that, bring cash! Plenty of indoor seating but they had really nice boxes for to-go orders too. Overall, while the types of donuts are not to my personal preference, I would return with my nieces.
