    Valentine's Day Drinks
    Vika J.

    This is probably my FAVORITE place to grab coffee in Rochester. Everyone is always super friendly. I love their rotating seasonal drinks, they're always so creative! The food is also delicious, I love the avocado toast on GF bread. They have gluten free and vegan options. In the summertime, they have a cute outdoor area with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs. They also have a little play set for little kids and puzzles/ games you can borrow.

    Cute place! Would love to return but they need ac and more seating inside. They have outdoor seating but have to across the parking to see more tables. Could probably need more outside too. The coffee was delicious with perfect flavoring. I got avocado toast, the bread was a little too thick but good overall.

    This café is a little hidden gem, close to Corbet's Glen in Penfield-just off Penfield Road. It's perfect for couples, friend, families and those just looking for a quiet moment. There's plenty of outdoor seating, a play area for children and indoor seating as well. Their menu is incredible; I had the tuna panini and my daughter the turkey BLT. They also have great selections of coffees and baked goods to choose from. The staff was amazing and even brought our order out to the car so we were able to let our pup, Gretchie indulge in her treat. I look forward to returning.

    Their house made ciabatta bread is amazing! We've only ever gotten breakfast sandwiches here, but they are great. Definitely pricier than a chain restaurant, but worth it. You order at the counter and then they buzz you when your food is ready. There isn't a lot of indoor seating, so in the colder weather you might have to wait for a seat. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating and even some play items for kids! The ambiance is your typical coffee shop.

    I've heard great things about Tree Town Cafe and wanted to see what they were all about. Went on a Saturday morning to try a drink from the special Valentine's Day Menu. I loved the shopping area featuring handmade goods and local artisanal chocolates and desserts. The offerings made it feel like a cozy market. We had to wait to order and a minor wait to receive our drinks. The staff were very friendly . My drink was missing the edible rose petals and they were happy to take care of this. The rose matcha was lovely. Such a beautiful combination of flavors. I found the prices to be fair. Happy to support a local cafe! Next visit I will have to try the breakfast menu.

    What a gem! If you have not then definitely add it to your list of places to check out... They serve their breakfast menu all day but also have a variety of lunch options. We tried a breakfast sandwich and the veggie plate. I had only ever been during Covid where you ordered outside sat outside they brought the food to you. This time I had a chance to check out the inside. Lots of fun goodies a cute little candy area for kids there is some indoor dining as well as a lot of outdoor dining still It was a half an hour wait for food but it was a beautiful day outside so we didn't mind. Coffee drinks were great also

    Met our friends here for lunch while up visiting from Houston. We came around 1pm on a Wednesday and we were SHOCKED with how crowded the parking lot was. We actually had to park on the side street! There is limited indoor seating but since it was a nice day we sat outside. If I remember correctly, there were probably only 3 picnic tables and a few Adirondack chairs. We managed to grab 4 Adirondack chairs and put down a couple blankets for the kids to sit on. The wait time for our lunch was the biggest negative. We waited about and HOUR for our food. The kids played and us adults talked while we waited but it still was quite lengthy. The items our family ordered were: a kid's ham and provolone submarine, a kid's hummus wrap and a Club Sandwich. The prices for the kid's meals were all pretty decent. All under $5 if I remember correctly. I, myself, ordered the kid's hummus wrap (named There's a hummus among us) with lettuce, tomato and onion. It was around $4. It was yummy. My husband enjoyed his Inwood club. Our friend brought all the kids in to pick out a treat after lunch. Some of what I saw included: brownies, cookies and assorted candies. (Very nice of her). The outdoor area really made the outing special. I couldn't imagine if we were cooped up inside somewhere with an hour-long wait for our food. (Though, we didn't appreciate the old lady who was yelling at our kids while they played. Apparently, the kids were being too "rough" for their liking. We saw her yelling at her husband too so maybe she just isn't a very friendly person to begin with???) Anyways, there are books and puzzles to use here as well. All in all, I wasn't quite sure about this place before coming but I liked it. Prices seemed fair. Quality was good. Wait was a bit long.

    Excellent customer service but shocking breakfast sandwich! Photo says all. I asked for the most popular breakfast sandwich and this is what you get. Really? Showed photo to management just to see if this was a mistake. They said no because I asked for sourdough bread.

    What a precious spot this is!! I've been wanting to come here for years and yesterday was the day. We went around brunch time and it was fairly busy so I wasn't able to capture too many photos of the inside. It's absolutely charming inside, overflowing with local made goods, candy, baked goods, you name it! The inside had a few tables and outside was thriving! Play areas, Adirondack chairs, fire pits. I can't wait to come back. Coffee was delicious, strong and sweet from the flavor shot and our food... those eggs?? They're perfect!! I wanted to ask how they made the egg perfectly jammy but not runny. Can't wait to go back!

    My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. This is a cute little cafe in what looks like an older house. Because it is a small cafe, there isn't much space to sit and eat, so expect to take out or try not to come during peak hours to ensure you get a table. This cafe has a variety of different pastries and snacks to choose from as soon as you walk in. We tried the double chocolate brownie and the fruity pebbles rice crispy treat. Both were delicious but I will say the rice crispy treat was soooo good. I am still thinking about it a day later lol. I even noticed that they have vegan snacks and meal options! One thing I loved about this cafe was that there was a variety of different flavored/special drinks. I love going places where I can try a new drink, so this place made my day. My bf got a tuxedo latte which is a latte flavored with dark and white chocolate, and I got a strawberry white chocolate mocha. Both were delicious! For our meals, I got the tree town avocado toast which comes with two large slices of sourdough toast, an egg on each, and avocado with feta on each slice. This meal was super filling and delicious. My bf ended up getting one of their steak sandwiches (not pictured below). It was smaller than he anticipated, however, he did mention it was delicious and worth the buy. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back.

    There's a lot to love about Tree Town, but the thing I personally love most about this place is the ultra local support! Holy moly. There's dozens of local businesses represented in these four walls. Laughing gull chocolates, chai guy goodies, amazing grains bread, local coffee, pasta sauce, Fiz soda, kombucha...you name it and Tree Town not only has it, but has it sourced from fellow Rochester business owners. Talk about lifting your community up?! All of this is to the great benefit of anyone who stops by for breakfast or lunch. I saw the cafe allllll over social for their innovation and agility in responding to this pandemic. They set up an open air market, which is now housed right when you walk in with fresh produce, herbs, and more. All of the other goodies can still be found in the cafe, like cookies and baked goods, breads, chocolate etc. This is all before you even get up to the counter to grab your food or coffee order! I called ahead for my breakfast sandwich, but they also have a super seamless and easy to use online ordering system. I went with the superior breakfast sandwich and it was as good as it looks in photos. I would add some bacon or sausage in the future, but the sandwich with just egg and cheese was still superb. Another highlight for me is their Jamaican Me Happy coffee, which was flavorful and light - the perfect Tuesday morning sip-while-working treat. There's a heated picnic style area if you're looking to sit outside, and the overall ambiance is just super special. Everyone I spoke with was kind, helpful, and super personable. I know every future trip to Corbett's Glen will include a stop by Tree Town, and I am so grateful to have another awesome spot to shop gifts and local goodies. If you're waiting to go, treat yourself to a yummy breakfast or lunch this week!

    When you come down to Tree Town, on Brighton's east side, Just turn at the fence; let the tables be your guide You'll enter the place through a fire-warm'd room With baked goods and caked goods and candies abloom There are menus aplenty, so pray don't get lost! The breakfast list's on the back wall, order like a boss't! There's all kinds of coffees, and special ones too! I got "superior gone green," my friend got a wrap, too! There's no place indoors to sit down and chomp So walk round outside! Have a nice sunny romp! The food was delicious, 'twas cripsy and tasty So hustle out to Tree Town! Right now! Yes be hasty! Don't be scared of the tree, it won't come alive, then chase you and chase you and gouge out your eyes And if you're a weirdo who eats weirdo food, they've got vegan items! I'm sure they're quite goöd. Pro tip: They have sundries and bakery treats for sale--take some home to have Tree Town all week long! Don't Miss: the sugary super-drinks! Specials seem to change with the season.

    They have unique drinks!

I had a toasted coconut latte which was pretty good - but also pretty basic in terms of lattes that I have tried in the Rochester area. For me, this cafe was a one and done - not only because of the coffee, but also because of the service. I felt like the barista was a little rude, which I can consider could just be something personal that the barista was dealing with that day. However, as someone who appreciates good service (or at least someone who is kind), service means a lot to me. Overall, the coffee was pretty mid. I think Montgomery Court was a one and done for me.

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.

To counteract the limited seating, there isn't any wifi. While I can respect this decision, it is unfortunate that I was looking for a place to do work while sipping on coffee. I got the seasonal BBL (I'm assuming Banana bread latte). The latte itself is quite strongly brewed, and the drink was very banana-forward. There is a slight hint of acidity, but i didn't mind it too much. If I'm every in the area, I think it would be more prudent to grab something to go, but I do think it's worth visiting for the coffee and the vibes!

On my first visit, I had the unfortunate timing to arrive late in the morning after a huge rush of locals had pretty much wiped out all their specials. Except one: a coffee drink with fish sauce. You read that correctly. FISH SAUCE. Like the kind you put on a savory Asian dish. It wasn't what I wanted, but the person making the coffees talked me into it because, as noted, they were literally out of almost everything else. I thought, well, I do like fish sauce, and maybe it just adds an umami kick, the way salt on caramel amps up the richness of a dessert. And I was not disappointed! In fact, it was delightful and very easy to drink! From that point, I felt pretty much hooked. These folks know their flavor combos and despite how 'weird' some might sound, they just work. My current obsession is their miso gourd-core on their fall menu - sort of like a savory pumpkin spice latte - delicious. I also love the golden nugget with turmeric maple syrup and clove. Really good. I have not tried anything else here food-wise (i.e. no cookies, smoothies or other nibbles), but usually pair my coffee with something delectable from next door at Jens Artisan - such as a quiche, mini cheesecake or cinnamon roll.... I'm a fan. And I highly recommend trying something outside of your comfort zone!
