The Dalai Java

Coffee was smooth and good, amazing that they roast their own, fair trade organic beans, at the cafe! The customer service was above and beyond, and the breakfast sandwich, made with homemade local bread bacon and two eggs, with a special herb butter was amazing. Check it out!

Right on the main drag through the center beautiful City of Canandaigua. Cool little coffee house. Big selection of coffee, tea and smoothies. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere to hang out and enjoy your beverage. Pricing is what you would expect from a specialty coffee house...still reasonable. Had the "Americano" coffee as I like strong coffee. It was very good and and I highly recommend both that coffee and the shop overall!

Great coffee, great food, great service.

I was just passing through this town and wanted a very quick bit. As I perused the window menu, exiting guests said - it’s all good! I walked right up to the counter to order a grilled cheese sandwich to go. I waited and waited!!! It took 35 minutes to get my sandwich. At the half hour mark, I asked how much longer. Very nice and apparently stressed workers apologized. I told them I was annoyed I wasn’t told there would be such a long wait. One of the workers said I’m sorry but we’re not allowed to say that. EXCUSE ME??? When you walk up to the counter, there’s no line, why would I ever think I would be standing around 35 minutes waiting for a sandwich. Good thing the blasted thing was delicious!!! The owner should be ashamed to deceive people -be honest!!!

The Dalai Java is our go-to coffee shop! The staff is extremely friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic! Chris is a master in his craft and a great friend to all. I highly recommend to any coffee lover in Canandaigua.

Had a wide selection of coffee, with beans from different places. They had espresso, cold brew, tisans, and others. They carry a wide selection of interesting food to go with the drinks.

This oat milk mocha is so good. 🔥 This place is also super cute and right by the farmers market

A small but cute and charming coffee shop, a little on the pricier side but the coffee and selection is great, the food is also excellent, and the portions are huge so depending you might be better off to split an item with someone lol. Great place

Good atmosphere. Very relaxing. Awesome breakfast sandwich with thick homemade bread. Coffee good.

Another visit and an updated edit. Rise and shine breakfast sandwich is the best I have ever had. Cold brew nitro very good and satisfying. Andrea and Shelly (Ronnie) very nice and friendly. Very comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend

Loved it! Especially the cronut!
