Glen Edith Coffee Roasters

I love this cafe. The atmosphere is cool, the staff was very friendly (encouraged me to move to a different parking spot so I didn't get towed) and the coffee was really good. Will be back w/ my wife soon!

Stopped in for coffee at this hipster spot with folks on laptops whispering to each other over their fancy pour over coffees. I ordered one from a very friendly handsome man. When I received my coffee and went to pour in the milk and sugar, I found two nasty bugs floating in my coffee!! Talk about an appetite suppressant. Servers graciously refunded my money and I left, coffeeless.

The best coffee place in all of Rochester. They specialize in pour over coffee, but also make some really delicious lattes and cold brews as well. The place definitely has a hipster feel to it, but is welcoming to all patrons.

Very cute and cozy place! The lattes were handed to us a few short moments after we ordered!! The staff was very polite and left a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend this place! The latte tasted AMAZING!!! VERY RICH AND FLAVORFUL!!

EXCELLENT! Super friendly staff
Real coffee....and DELISH WAFFLES!

Plenty of parking in the lot here and across the street.

The place
I really love what they did in the place. It has a clean, bright modern look to it. Whoever made the chalk board menus has some serious talent. Seems like a great place to go and get some work done or just chill with a few friends and enjoy a coffee.

The coffee
Yes the coffee what can I say besides I wish I could visit this place daily. This is my first time with Verve coffee and now I am online about to order some for my own house. My wife and I both ordered a Vanilla bean lattes and I can honestly say this was one of the best latte's I have ever had. First of the barista explained to us how they caramelize pure can sugar then scrape vanilla beans into it. Talk about high quality!!! Most places use syrups and sauces they buy in a bottle in their latte's not these guys. I loved the flavor it was a perfect blend of a great espresso, milk and the faint but distant taste of vanilla. My wife was equally impressed as I was. I cant wait to come back to Rochester to try this place again.

The staff
I was equally impressed with the staff they were so friendly and patient with me. I admit I am a hard customer at a coffee shop I always ask the barista what they recommend. She was a huge help and went overboard to ask what kind of coffee I liked to figure out what I might like.

The verdict

I really love everything about this place including the hipster vibe. My only complain and would end up giving this place a 4.5 if I could was the price. The latte was 5 bucks for a 10 ounce which is pretty pricey!! I know it was high quality but that still is high. The only other complaint would is a loyalty program. I don't live in the area but most any coffee shop I have been to has one. Example you buy 10 or 12 drinks you get one free. If they have one I saw nothing showing it nor did she mention any thing about it. Even so I would come back I just would be hesitant to come as often at that price point.

Great service. Went with some friends to catch up, ordered a drink and it turned out they were out of one part. The barista (at our request) made us surprise drinks instead, all of which we enjoyed extremely. Great coffee great vibe.

Wow- since when does a skim latte automatically come loaded with cinnamon on top ? I so enjoy glen Edith s lattes and have been getting them for over a year - and I have NEVER ever had a latte served this way . When I asked the server if she mistakenly added a Flavor, she happily replied “oh it s cinnamon”....not even acknowledging that SHE took the liberty of adding the load of cinnamon on to a normally great tasting latte. It tasted just like i was drinking , well- cinnamon instead of a latte . I know I should have asked her to make me another latte - the way I ordered it , but I just didn t ....since she gave NO acknowledgement that I was unhappy with my drink and she obviously saw nothing wrong with doing what she did. I should have been more assertive but I didn’t want any drama...
and at $5.40 for a 10 ounce latte, (and what' s up with the sudden almost 20% increase anyway?) it should be what you order , shouldn’t it ?

Came in to do some work, and ordered a latte. The latte was good. As I was working I noticed how cold it was inside Glen Edith to the point where I could not feel my fingers as I was trying to type on my laptop. And this was not because of people walking in and out/door being opened, it was just so cold in there. The person with me started shivering so we decided to take off. I thought coffee joints were supposed to be cozy?

Excellent coffee/espresso, tasty food (though a limited menu), slow (though methodical) service, and very hip atmosphere. Great for a slow day or a place to study, but pretty pricey if you're looking for a regular spot to get coffee.
