Fuego Coffee Roasters

From over by Harro East to Parcel 5 to Downtown, this is the place I go to for the best coffee, service and community. I have always felt welcome and better for spending my dollars locally with people who care.

My favorite coffee shop in Rochester. Super nice Cafe, friendly staff and amazing coffee.

The coffee is really acidic, which is my least favorite type of coffee. A lot of other coffee shops I've stopped by in Rochester have had more full bodied, mild acidity beans which taste much better in my opinion. Also they only have almond milk, which I thought was unusual. So this place will rock your world if you like both of these things, but it's not for me.

THEE BEST place to buy fresh locally roasted coffee in Rochester and the only place I'll grab espresso. Great varieties of coffees on rotation for drip and espresso and a spread of locally made pastries, including vegan & gluten free cookies from The Red Fern.

Great place to work any day of the week...

Great space and nice atmosphere. The service is always great and their coffee is on-point. The space is large and open allowing you to work at a computer if needed. The only part that stinks is the on-street parking.

Hands down Rochester's best coffee shop, the chipotle mocha and cortado are my favorites. I have yet to find a cup of coffee I enjoy more. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere has a great vibe.

Clean, open, industrial feel. It has a pretty typical city coffee shop atmosphere, but for me the coffee is the real draw. They roast their own coffee, and use a variety of brewing techniques, including chemex, French press, pour over, etc. It's also nice that if you're in a hurry they have drip coffee ready to go.

If you like coffee you will like this place. However if you a "Starbucks" love your coffee full syrup and sugar this is NOT your place.

The coffee
These guys are legit roasters making craft coffee. The Barista Will was amazing in his knowledge of coffee gave me a great lesson in all types of coffee. I decided to go with a Mocha which was an amazing balance of a bitter sweet chocolate, expresso and frothed milk. One of the best I have in a long time. Will also gave us a try of their cold brew. The process they use is 12-24 hours to brew it. They even use milk from a local farm! I bought some beans to take home and try I cant wait!! I was really impressed these guys know their craft well!!

My only complaints are two minor things one it is it a bit pricey but I would pay for it. The main one is the only thing I could grab to go with it was a few cookies. I hope they expand in the future to add thing to pair their amazing coffee too. Will said they were moving to a better location a few blocks away soon so make sure you check before you go!

A very open and bright location that Fuego has recently moved into from their last place and much larger. Their new location is in an old industrial building with an array of exposed pipes, old wood flooring, light and dark walls, huge picturesque windows that let in plenty of natural lighting, and more comfortable seating arrangments. There is street parking that you would have to pay a parking meter, but there's a parking lot around the corner with free parking. And the parking meters are only till a certain time, then it's free afterwards. You can purchase your favorite coffee product and go lounge in a cozy couch - And just Relax...
