Equal Grounds

One of my favorite places. During the day it's the best environment to get work done and a great social scene at night. They serve fair trade coffee from Coffee Connection so you can feel good about where your money goes.

I love this place. This is my favorite coffee shop. The atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming, and their drinks are fantastic. When I get the chance to stop in, I feel like I can really relax and decompress.

Equal Grounds isn't just a place to grab a coffee or work on homework - it's a community meeting place and living room. I've never seen another place quite like it. Cozy, friendly, fun, and unpretentious, it's a great place to make friends and just to hang out.

Great place to study, have a coffee break and a safe space for the LGBT community. Note, I do not attend school for a number of reasons, so I got my opinion on studying based on other people and the environment. However if you are autistic like me, I do not recommend the clubs that come here, like Genesee Valley Gender Variants, the population generally doesn't understand autism but obviously understand if you are transgender or non-binary. If you have very mild autism like aspergers, then you will generally fit in. Overall, great atmosphere and a quiet place to study.

Good coffee and tea drinks. Staff has consistently been congenial and will help you find a drink, or tailor one to suit your tastes as well as make you feel welcomed with a bit of small talk. Apple pie is a MUST if you are lucky enough to be there when they have it! Wait, nevermind DON'T get it, save it for me! Oh, and REAL whipped cream...! Need I continue?

I used to love coming here. They used to sell books there but no more. Not friendly here, customer service needs improvement. A cool place to play board games though. Coffee is fine, lemonade was horrible.

Loved Adelaide, I believe is their name (sorry if I butchered it) and they made THE best wrap I've ever had along with latte.

Really nice peaceful place that serves coffee and yummy looking pastries. They also sell bottles of there own signature syrup for coffee for customer's to take home a big bottle goes for $13.50 or $14.50 huge coffee shop spacious quite neighborhood and pleasant

Best local beans in Rochester. Super cozy inside with so much to do to keep you busy. Anything from a huge selection of ice cream, board games, and amazingggg apparel with their "E = G" logo. Also Tyler, Jenn and the entire staff are super friendly. There's simply no better café experience than Equal Grounds.

I love the staff and the customers are always happy to be there! I go to play Word Thief with my mom and they also have a big drink menu. They always give my pup a treat!
