I am such a huge fan of Gloria Jeans coffee, my favorite is their butter toffee flavor... yum yum…read moreyum! So naturally I was super excited to see that there is a store in the mall. Walking in you see two large countertop's with lots of signs on the drinks they offer, hot and cold. One entire wall is just shelf's covered with different coffee cups and tumblers to purchase. Unfortunately they don't offer coffee grounds, beans or k cups to purchase... just coffee to order. I went with a caramel latte with whipped cream. It was great, creamy and lots of caramel flavor. Just wished they had more coffee options to purchase.

The food and beverage were spectacular, I have no complaints. However, that Tommy guy worries me.read more

So I started going to Tim Horton's on University avenue. Today I stopped by for a coffee while on 1 of my photo shoots and I must say I was impressed. From service to cleanliness. And I did bring it to the employees attention! :)

There's a sign with arrows pointing where to go if you have puck up orders, need fresh grinding or a drink order. Everyone seemed to be in one line up front and the customers were blocking the path to get to the drink counter. This made it look like they were only using one line to serve all orders. They need a better system to direct the lines when its busy in there. Other than that the drink was delicious. I got the banana bread latte.

New roots is such a cute nut-free cafe with so many perks!…read more It's a very artsy cute little cafe with plenty of indoor seating areas of different sizes. They also have a nice patio that is partially shaded and was super comfortable on a warm sunny day. It's perfect for indoor or outdoor study time or coffee catch-ups. They do have free WiFi. The building has a few different seating areas since it is a converted house design. The art and merch are creative and music-themed. There is a music school in the top floor of the building, but you can't hear the music from the coffee shop. The drink was good, although my panini was a bit hard after it was toasted. My friend enjoyed her panini. 5/5 for the service, drink, and vibes. Love that it's nut-free!

The café was charming and decked out for Pride Month, with colorful decor, posters for community events, and plenty of information on local resources. I also noticed a great selection of drink-related merch and add-ons. I ordered an iced shaken espresso with pistachio syrup--it was fantastic.

I always like to look for espresso specials and we were not disappointed by the selection. My fiance got The Snug with maple syrup and molasses bitters. I was too afraid to try any drinks with bitters (I hate how it tastes in cocktails) but I took a sip of The Snug and it tasted great, I would definitely try that next time. I had the B.B.L. latte which had banana syrup, it was more on the sweet side but not overly sweet (I would avoid it if you don't enjoy a sweet palate, try a latte with bitters instead!) It was something unique to try and I was happy with my choice. There was also plenty of seating which is always a huge plus in the winter in Rochester. We had no trouble getting a table. I should also note that there was a very limited food selection here -- about 3 baked goods offered. So if you're looking for food and coffee, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Overall I would happily try out Ugly Duck again! I'm curious if they have outdoor seating in the warmer months.

Delicious drinks and beautiful patio!…read more Ugly duck is such a nice place to grab an iced latte and sit outside in the summer! I've loved every drink that I've gotten. I'm not sure I'd consider this a good place to study, but it's a nice place to catch up with friends or take a pause outside with a good drink on a patio. The seating inside is somewhat limited, but the patio is beautiful. The buildings will provide natural shade in the afternoon. Parking can also be difficult and limited.

Coffee roasting produces smoke, fine particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds that can affect air quality if proper ventilation and emission controls are not fully in place. They operate and have been polluting the neighborhood and emitting harmful toxins into nearby homes . Despite known compliance and equipment concerns, roasting has continued -- including during periods when youth programming is happening. Exposure to roasting emissions can impact both environmental air quality and human health, particularly for children and individuals with asthma or respiratory sensitivities. An organization serving teens and families should prioritize strict environmental compliance and transparent safeguards. Until proper controls and full regulatory compliance are clearly demonstrated, i cannot recommend supporting this location.

Would be a great location to hunker down with a book or journal while enjoying your drink of choice. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. We took our drink to go. Parking was easy. There is a parking lot located conveniently behind the building. The seasonal drink choices were fun. I chose the lake breeze. I was able to remove the coconut. They were happy to do this and just let me know it might take a moment longer to make. The wait was not long at all and the drink was delicious. The dried yuzu was a nice touch. I was so happy to finally visit and will be back.

There isn't a lot of seating and the space is a bit small. It seems to be situated best for small groups to sit around a small table and talk. It's the perfect place to sit and catch up with a friend, but I probably wouldn't study here. Again, a super cute vibe. I got the newly famous Breakfast in Vermont latte, and it was delicious. The other drinks looked great too, so I'd love to try them in the future.
