Joe Bean Roasters

Best coffee shop I've been to since I moved to New York. Such a relaxed environment and you can tell they put a lot of effort into a quality product and experience. The coffee there is amazing and so much more than just a caffeine fix. I will definitely be going there again.

The very best coffee place in Rochester. The baristas are all so friendly and knowledgeable. They offer different beans daily and customer is provided information on the different bean offerings as well as preparation methods. Also the cheese board here is life, that with a cold brew is my summer jam!

Great coffee. Good atmosphere. We showed up at the tail end of brunch hours on a Saturday and we ate. The food was quite good, and the menu consists of off the beaten path renditions of common brunch fare. The coffee was great but the menu is a little tricky to understand and had me fumbling with the wait staff to figure out actually what we could order. Maybe they were in the middle of switching coffees or something, I couldn't say, but I had the choice between two coffees for pourover (one blend and one single origin) at a roastery. I found that to be a little odd--especially as they had so many I wanted to try! I left with two bags of great coffee and a full stomach so really I can't say anything bad about the experience. The Don Roger I got has made phenomenal espresso shots and makes me want to go back ASAP.

Can easily be considered in Rochester's top 3 places for coffee. I would rate higher but for every really good experience I've had I've also had the bad experience of being looked down on for not being a coffee expert. Some staff was very kind while others were a bit elitist about coffee.

The perfect, close knit coffee and espresso experience in greater Rochester area. Groovy modern-meets-rustic atmosphere makes this a great place for conversation, or to simply sit, sip, and dive into a book. It is my sincere hope that the bar-side of business never disappears <3

The coffee was absolutely wonderful, in fact it was one of the best cappuccinos I've had. But the experience was completely ruined while sitting beside three "off-duty" baristas who were hanging out, talking with the staff and making fun of the many customers who have come in and not known about coffee as well as they did. My wife and I left wondering if we ordered our coffee 'properly' or if we would be the butt of the barista jokes for the night.

Best coffee around ☕ the location is a bit tucked away, but easy parking. You can see all their equipment for roasting beans and canning. The staff are really nice, there's no wifi so you have to either spend your data or socialize 😆

As far as I know, the best coffee spot in all of Rochester. Choose your bean, choose your preparation. The shaken cold brew is my favorite. Rotating-ish menu of delicious food available as well. Get in early, it's popular on the weekends.

Best coffee in the city. Be prepared, they won't ask you to pay right away. They'll take your order and bring it to you when it's ready. Fantastic location. Great baristas. The view is nice as well. Great place for a business meeting.

Based on my recent experience here, this is a good place to go for drinks and friendly service, but a horrible place to go to for food.

For drinks we tried the beer, hot coffee, and hot tea. They w're all excellent and perfectly prepared. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating.

As for the food, it was terrible. My husband and I both ordered the gnocchi, one with meatballs and the other with fried tofu. The only edible part of the meal was the meatballs since my gnocchi was still raw and my husband's was completely undercooked. The sauce that it is served with is also not very flavorful.

The other two people in our party ordered the falafel, which was bland and also undercooked, and a salad, which was missing multiple ingredients.

The apologetic server did offer to have the gnocchi meals made again, but due to time constraints we declined that option. He then decided to comp all of our meals and we were only charged for our drinks.

Overall, it was a mediocre place. There are other places that offer tastier teas and coffees that aren't much farther away. This isn't a place I would return to.
