This is one of our favorite coffee shops- they have incredible food and their baked goods are insane! Try the tiramisu latte :)
Melo has really delicious coffee and breakfast! This is just a few streets over from the venue.
Winter Swan is located inside a florist shop & has some of my FAVORITE coffee- most of the beverages are Asian inspired and are soooo delicious. The Vietnamese coffee is one of my favs! Fun fact: Crust Pie Co. makes the cinnamon buns that they sell here on the weekends :)
Right around the corner from Goodman Bakes on Gibb's street, Java's makes some of our favorite coffee drinks! The Aztec Mocha is one of our favs :)
Leonore's is one of our faaaavorite little date night spots! They focus on pan-Asian cuisine and EVERYTHING is good! They have great cocktails and the plates are made to share, so it's perfect to try some of everything!
This brewery is not in the downtown area, but is just a 10 minute drive to Irondequoit! They have amazing food and beer with a great patio for outdoor seating.
Piz Wiz is one of our absolute favorite quirky little pizza shops in Rochester. They specialize in Detroit style pan pizza and they come up with the most insane variation of pies. They also make probably some of the best gluten free pizza in the area!
Crust is the cutest little bakery in the South Wedge that makes the most delicious & unique hand pies and other baked goods! They also have a coffee stand inside that makes really great Vietnamese coffee that we get every time we go. They are home to one of my (Anna's) favorite cinnamon buns!
A little further down East Avenue, Goodman Bakes is one of our faaaavorite bakeries in the city!! They have all sorts of different sweet and savory pastries/baked goods. They also have breakfast sandwiches!
Dogtown has one of our favorite garbage plates in the city. They also make unique and delicious hot dogs!
No visit to Rochester would be complete without 2 things: a garbage plate and a good 'ol Genny beer. Here, you can get both! They make one of our other favorite garbage plates in the city.
