Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Good service. Good tea and coffee.
Nice cozy cafe ☕
Very impressive and this place is a hidden gem. Can't beat freshly roasted coffee that's done on display. The friendly owner explained all the different beans offered and mentioned he's traveled to some of the growers estates. He even let us watch a batch of coffee being roasted and explained the process. This inside is not fancy but it's a great experience, excellent coffee, and not overpriced. Worth a visit, especially if you value and appreciate fresh roasted coffee beans.
Canaltown has been roasting coffee in the same location for 31 years, and they've learned a lot of things over this period, so when they have a blend called "Rochester's Choice", you know it's based on experience. Currently, my wife and I have been enjoying the organic Peruvian and making our own Rochester's choice by mixing half regular roast and half French roast, so good I included a picture.
They have fantastic coffee best in the city!
Very nice place with friendly staff, good coffee and delicious cookies.
Great freshly roasted coffee or bar espresso drinks, friendly staff
I've shopped here many times in the past and they always have great coffee. Went back there recently and they're as good as ever. Nice local small business. Try some different beans and other goodies.
Best place to buy coffee beans on town. Roasted onsite, lots of variety.
My favorite coffee in Rochester (note that I tend to prefer darker roasts.) Great espresso drinks, fantastic selection of beans, very friendly staff. The Mocha Java blend - a dark and medium mix, unflavored despite what the name seems to imply - is my personal favorite.
The best coffee!! Organic & freshly ground!! 😋
Their Rochester Choice Blend is excellent. No frills place but good beans. Will be coming back for sure.
Love this place...thanks for being here for us true coffee lovers. Peter and his staff are our local favorite!
Superb place for coffee and carpaccio
Latte wasn’t sweet but could be good if you like the stronger time. It was quaint — cute in that way, but not updated.
Nice place to chat and have some coffee or a snack. Really enjoyed it!
Nice little, locally roasted coffee house. Tucked in a small shopping center on East ave, right across from Wegmans. I liked that this place wasnt too assuming letting the coffee speak for itsel, unlike other places that highlight that they can make a leaf of the top of your latte. Heard about this place from a friend and was in the city looking for a quiet place for afternoon coffee. I got my usual, straight black coffee and their Rochester blend had full bodied and flavor. Wife got a irish creme latte that she really enjoyed. BONUS, although they dont make their own pastries, we did notice that they did get some of them at least from Savoias! Wife and I split a couple shortbreads and a biscotti. Impressive selection of whole bean coffee on site. Would recommend for a great cup of coffee if you are in the area.
Best coffee in Rochester NY
Always friendly, and knowledgeable, great selection of coffee and espresso, been buying my coffee exclusively from them for years
A small store, but so good! The staff is so friendly. Helped us get our whole bean while another helped us with our hot drinks. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! #SHOPLOCAL
