Best lattes in ROC. Bar none! Always delicious, hot, & made exactly as u ask. Different that Starbucks dark, heavy, flavor but oh so good. Plus the eclectic nature of the art & furnishings is cool.
Adam BallardNovember 16, 2014Had a hot chocolate with friends here today. Staff was fast and friendly and shop is clean, appealing, and fun. Very cool place to relax and catch up with friends.
Timothy HongNovember 22, 2014Cozy, great vibe, lots of art, I had the Sausalito sandwich. There's no menu, just a display, and they toast it for you. High quality and affordable. I'll be back.
Pam SteeleSeptember 3, 2011Great environment; love all the art! Try the Kinky Reggae, it's delish pish :-) P.S. Be careful walking down the stairs if you have to use the bathroom!
Drip coffee refills aren't free. Ask to open a tab if you're paying with a card so you don't have to swipe 20 times.
Divya MulanjurJuly 24, 2016Loved the coffee! Very flavorful. The Aztec mocha was also good. Cute place to study too.
The London Fog is amazing and has a nice atmosphere for getting work done or just talking with a friend!
Some creative coffee drinks, Mexican Coke, and Blenheim Spicy Ginger Ale. Great place to grab a seat and watch the world go by.
Make sure to grab a seat by the milk+sugar station to watch people figuring out how the funky milk thing works (hint: milk doesn't come out until you let the lever drop)
Tamara SApril 15, 2016Aztec Mocha with espresso dark chocolate, cinnamon & chili was awesome! Great white bean rosemary soup
Great bohemian atmosphere. Wifi is free and speed is good if the place isn't crowded.
Michelle MaryOctober 9, 2014If you order a Large coffee using the dine in mug which will cost $2.25 and a refill using the same mug would be $1.50! Can't beat that!
Heewa BarfchinOctober 12, 2014Perfect vibe for hanging out, working, meeting, anything. It's just such a great atmosphere here. Prefect coffee shop.
MeganJuly 11, 2016The sandwiches are terrific! They make them fresh daily and also change the menu daily.
Plasma CarwashNovember 21, 2011Mike is a hospitality natural. I can't stop for a sammy and a novelty drink w/out talking to sOMboDY in ROCs native band scene. It may have to do with the Eatman Theater next door. eat man!
Cuban sandwich is incredible. Also amazingly good wifi and ambience. (It should be noted that Java's is keeping me from going insane in Rochester)
Becca PostDecember 22, 2012The terrapin is the best! Also, if you've never had lunch here, do it. The sandwiches are so good, especially the gypsy.
Kate FurmanAugust 3, 2015They use milk from Pittsford dairy farms. Try the cold brew or half and half.
Robert ThorenJuly 8, 2011DEAR JAVA'S: GET RID OF THE STYROFOAM TO GO CUPS. Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and leaches chemicals into your delicious coffee! Otherwise, you're perfect!
Best for: people-watching, vegan cupcakes, hipster vibes.
A shot in the dark (hot chocolate w/ a shot of espresso) is amazing!
- Rachel MazzaJuly 13, 2016Make sure your laptop is fully charged if you're working from here cause there's only 1 power point
Nicole HeringNovember 26, 2011Get a shot in the dark and a seat in the light. Best RIT spot to get your work done!
Aaron BluestoneSeptember 6, 2014Good coffee, but it sucks that they let people smoke in the outside seating areas.
The blueberry muffins are delicious, but they crumble easily.
Vinny GreenDecember 3, 2011The sandwiches are terrific and reasonably priced. Lots of food for the price.
University PlaceMay 19, 2010Iced latte - double shot of espresso - perfect drink for a sunny afternoon. Also recommend the panninis.
Waiton FarrellMay 27, 2010Chocolate Sitch: blended ice, coffee, and chocolate. Verdict: caffeinated heaven. Go with the large. It's $4.50 well-spent if you need an extra boost of energy.
Bridget BadoreOctober 22, 2015I think they're the only coffee shop besides Dunkin donuts that still uses styrofoam cups....?
CatherineFebruary 20, 2010Hot chocolate with whip cream and sprinkles made with milk from the Pittsford dairy. Enjoy the best.

"The best indfependant theater in the world? Maybe. But it is without doubt one of the best in the U.S. And for a sweet treat try the Nanaimo Bars at the concession stand."
Mike Johansson - 8.1
"Probably the best produce and cheese selection in the city of Rochester. The beer department here does a stunning amount of business so you know it's pretty fresh!"
