Been coming here for a bit now, and I have to say I love how this place as evolved over the last few years. The team has curated a delicious and refreshing drink menu that caters to so many different tastes, there is absolutely something for everyone. Personally, I am a big lover of their hot chocolate, they make it perfect temperature, where it isn't steaming hot but hot enough it's very pleasant to drink without hurting yourself, and they do it so consistently. The baked goods they get are phenomenal, and their own in-house burritos, breakfast squares, and quiches are fantastic and filling! Service is great, the team is friendly and helpful! My favorite part though is the atmosphere of the cafe. Always good music, great art hanging everywhere, it truly feels integrated with the community. Rome is better for having Superofficial here read more

The food is out of this world and there is some great positive energy here. Coffee is also great tasting. Can you say local? Service is awesome and great vibe here. read more

I have driven by this place several times and wanted to try this cute coffee shop. Finally got a chance to try. While, it was a cute artsy place was really turned off by litter box smell and a sink in main area filled with dirty dishes. Not sure if there were cats there but would have helped to let customers know who may have cat allergies. Coffee and Tea drinks were OK but definitely nothing special. Had the potential to be something great. read more

Deliciously crafted drinks - probably my favorite coffee in the Utica/Rome area! There's a selection of staple flavors for coffee with some fun seasonal rotations (rose almond is one of my favorites). No upcharge for milk substitutions! read more

superofficial - Shakespearean take on clueless - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rome, New York

Excellent espresso drinks, cold brew and hot brewed coffees. Swell people, too. What a pleasant surprise in the food desert of Rome.

Theres no other coffee shop like it! Most people think of a fancy drink as something with 4 pumps of mystery syrup, but you wont see a wall of "flavors" here. Each drink is made with actual ingredients by people who have studied the science and art behind their craft to make a simply delightful drink. Superofficial is easily better than the swanky coffee shops of NYC. They make great use of a small space and welcome well behaved dogs inside and out. They also have a good selection of fresh baked goods from around the local area as well as a kick-butt breakfast burrito on the weekend. If you want a high-quality coffee you have to stop by and try this place. If you don't know what you want, ask for a recommendation and they'll help you out! read more

Very unique (in a good way) with super sweet staff. Drinks were really great as well, definitely one of the better spots in Rome :)

Got my first news of this place opening back in early 2022 when stopping in Utica for coffee. Since then I couldn't wait for my next work outing to upstate NY to stop by Superofficial. Sadly, I waited and waited and the time wasn't coming. I watched on social media as Superofficial churned out drinks for folks on the daily. I watched with envy. How could all these people be enjoying their drinks when I have to look on from afar (RI) after being so excited to try this new coffee shop for so long? The months trickled by, and the anticipation only grew. Finally, almost a year after Superofficials opening, I had my opportunity. While traveling back to RI from Buffalo I was in dire need of a pick-me-up and more than willing to make a quick detour off I-90. The shop is in a great space, sharing the building with an art studio that decorates the walls nicely. I ordered a go-to for me whenever I see it on the menu, an Espresso Tonic (with citrus bitters). My drink was made with care, no foaming, no premature melting ice, just creamy espresso over delicious tonic water. The taste reflected the care. A delicious warm weather (or sunny day) refresher made perfectly. Along with the great drink, if you truly care about your beans and how you brew them, their selection of Sey coffee is stellar. The Barista is fantastic at helping you make a choice based on your preferences and brew method. I'm happy to say I have a box at home waiting for the right moment to break into. All in all this place is great...I may even officially declare it...Super. read more

This place is a real treasure for Rome. The best coffee you can get in CNY and cool art to peruse while you sip. Jonothan knows his stuff and will gladly drop some knowledge. Ask him anything about coffee, tea, or anything on his shelves you'd like to know more about. He's got some unique products. It's cozy, inviting, and did I mention the tdf coffee? read more

What a lovely cafe! superofficial is a beautifully designed eclectic cafe with an attractive seasonal drink menu and a wide array of coffee and milk options. The space is filled with thriving plants, old board games, and DVDs, as well as a mass collection of art and jewelry from local artists. There is outdoor seating as well as limited indoor seating, including an amazingly comfortable baby pink couch which I adore. superofficial also sells niche canned drinks, cafe equipment, and a small selection of cooking items such as sauces and oils. The baristas are charming and helpful. All around a beautiful small cafe with much to offer. read more

superofficial - Displayed art - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rome, New York

So happy Superofficial (Super Official?) is finally open. This coffee shop is located inside The Copper Easel on W. Dominick St. They have a really nice selection of coffee and tea, and the barista is so helpful and ready to answer any questions and find you the right beverage. They have some cute merchandise for sale; it's co-located inside the art gallery so there is a lot of beautiful art and photography to look at while you're waiting for your drink. There is indoor and outdoor seating, great now that the weather is getting warmer. I tried the iced cherry mocha latte, which is not on the menu yet but the barista will make it for you! It was excellent, not too sweet and just what I needed to get through the 2 o'clock crunch. A welcome addition to the downtown Rome scene. read more
