Many many options for coffee all with a great taste ! As a US traveler this one will be on my go back list, never been to a coffee shop with a Mission, at that a Non profit woman’s mission for those recovering or unemployed women and keeping them busy here ! Peruvian items for purchase and unique hand made shoes, you can’t go wrong here . So much coffee

This coffee shop has a great mission I’m proud to support, and they’re a great place to work remotely: they have a solid internet connection, a yummy selection of snacks/soup/sandwiches and they sell a bottomless cup of coffee.

Another one of the coffee shops that helps women build a better life for themselves by providing a place to develop professional skills and build a resume. Makes a good cup of coffee, and I love the roaster in the back room. Small and cozy, so maybe not the place for a large group, but great for a quick cup on the go or to sit for a spell and catch up with a friend.

This coffee shop has a great mission, but is lacking access. It should be wheelchair accessible through the back entrance, but the ramp is cluttered with stuff. The bathroom is big enough to be accessible, but was blocked by a bunch of bins and also cluttered with stuff. I wish they took accessibility more seriously because Id love to be a regular patron.

The smells when you walk through the door is very unique. They are fresh and intoxicating. Felicia is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the products educating me and my family more on the types of beans they carry, the difference, showing us the authenticity of their products, as they come direct from Peru. Definitely THE place to buy organic, authentic coffee. Not to mention that their company gives back to the farmers.

I stop here every time I visit Rochester because they have the best chocolate truffle coffee ever. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Nice cozy space too.

Great mission and cozy atmosphere. The coffee is fine. I wish the hours were slightly more reliable - I stopped by on a Sunday am when they were listed as open and it was totally dark. A few more fresh food offerings and better coffee would make this a totally desirable spot in the neighborhood.

What a great business. Providing an workplace, support, and empowerment to women in recovery. That and the coffee is really solid. Roasted on site, responsibly sourced, and a whole host of to go coffees as well. In addition there are some of the usual coffee shop artsy fair too. All and all a great place!

I want to match what Erika Russo just said...wow. What an amazing experience it was indeed. The people there were so friendly and so knowledgeable about everything in that store. From custom making your special drink or the beautiful hand woven wool articles of clothing and so much more they were extremely helpful. Lastly, I have had coffee from local roasters around Rochester for a decade and this place by far has the best tasting beans in my book. Peruvian coffee at its finest. Purchased by many restaurants, cafes and other establishments in the area. The best cup of Rochester coffee I have had thus far. Thank you to everyone at the coffee connection. I cant wait to check out your other locations!

This is an amazing, inspiring place that changes lives and impacts the community for the better. Give whatever support you can - their coffee is delicious (the best I’ve ever tasted) and made with compassion. ♥️

Coffee is locally roasted. The Peruvian is totally delicious. Barista had a warm, friendly vibe--invited us to sample the blends before selection. The cafe is small and warm and smells of roasted coffee. It has four or five two top tables. We took one by the window, where we ate homemade bacon, zucchini quiche. The philosophy behind the cafe is brilliant and progressive. I hope to go again.

Best coffee in Rochester. Roasted in house, carefully and ethically sourced, and the price is still right (less than three bucks for an iced coffee). Plus it has a good social mission.

Review №41

So it depends on the location you stop at, the one in the southwedge is super great, they do all the roasting there in the shop, the coffee is wonderful and the people are fantastic. However it is small which can discourage those who like to find a corner somewhere and get work done for hours on end. If you go to the winton village location though this place is expansive and very charming. They have a greenhouse out back where they grow some of the veggies used in their food. The rest they source from the public market. The greenhouse cafe is a super great place to get quiet time to just sit and think or plow through some backlog. Both use their own roasted coffee which they source sustainably. They work with small farmers to get the best fresh, organic, and fair trade beans. They also employ women in recovery programs, giving them employment that empowers them. I think this place has the right idea and is a gem in the Rochester community.

I met here with a friend and I am just not a coffee drinker really, it they had this iced vanilla chocolate latte that was freaking awesome AND cheap! Plus the company has a great cause so it was a win win for me. Parking is right out front and at 9 am there was ample parking. We sat there and talked for hours and no one looked at us funny, and everyone had a great attitude and customer service etiquette. If I have another coffee meeting, I would definitely choose here. Did seem cluttered though, so for management I would tell them to cut back on all the different items that were all over the place, but thats just me. Some people might like to shop for little random knick knacks and books and sandals while getting coffee.

The coffee is ok, but the espresso not at the same level as Glen Edith, Joe Beans or Meraki (down the road). I like the atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and its a nice place for a sip with friends.

Service here isnt the greatest, I attempted to order a hazelnut latte with less flavor syrup and ended up with steamed milk and lots of hazelnut flavoring. I will walk the extra block to equal grounds in the future.
