Best lattes in ROC. Bar none! Always delicious, hot, & made exactly as u ask. Different that Starbucks dark, heavy, flavor but oh so good. Plus the eclectic nature of the art & furnishings is cool.

Adam Ballard

Had a hot chocolate with friends here today. Staff was fast and friendly and shop is clean , appealing, and fun. Very cool place to relax and catch up with friends.

Timothy Hong

Cozy , great vibe, lots of art , I had the Sausalito sandwich . There's no menu, just a display, and they toast it for you. High quality and affordable . I'll be back.

Divya Mulanjur

Loved the coffee ! Very flavorful. The Aztec mocha was also good. Cute place to study too.

Mike is a hospitality natural. I can't stop for a sammy and a novelty drink w/out talking to sOMboDY in ROCs native band scene. It may have to do with the Eatman Theater next door. eat man!

Joe Ellis

Some creative coffee drinks, Mexican Coke , and Blenheim Spicy Ginger Ale . Great place to grab a seat and watch the world go by.

Pam Steele

Great environment; love all the art ! Try the Kinky Reggae , it's delish pish :-) P.S. Be careful walking down the stairs if you have to use the bathroom !

J S

The London Fog is amazing and has a nice atmosphere for getting work done or just talking with a friend!

Kyle Macey

Drip coffee refills aren't free. Ask to open a tab if you're paying with a card so you don't have to swipe 20 times.

Heewa Barfchin

Perfect vibe for hanging out, working, meeting, anything. It's just such a great atmosphere here. Prefect coffee shop .

Tamara S

Aztec Mocha with espresso dark chocolate , cinnamon & chili was awesome! Great white bean rosemary soup

Dave K

Make sure to grab a seat by the milk+sugar station to watch people figuring out how the funky milk thing works (hint: milk doesn't come out until you let the lever drop)

Dionne Jacques

Great bohemian atmosphere. Wifi is free and speed is good if the place isn't crowded .

Michelle Mary

If you order a Large coffee using the dine in mug which will cost $2.25 and a refill using the same mug would be $1.50! Can't beat that!

Hano A

Perfect place to work . Hot chocolate , smoothies , cookies and bagels all day.

Megan

The sandwiches are terrific! They make them fresh daily and also change the menu daily.

Becca Post

The terrapin is the best! Also, if you've never had lunch here, do it. The sandwiches are so good, especially the gypsy.

Jessicca Walden

Try the kinky reggae its awesome :)

Alex Kliner

Cuban sandwich is incredible. Also amazingly good wifi and ambience. (It should be noted that Java's is keeping me from going insane in Rochester)

Kate Furman

They use milk from Pittsford dairy farms . Try the cold brew or half and half .

John Brian

Loved the Aztec. Rich dark chocolate spiked with caffeine and capsicum !

Robert Thoren

DEAR JAVA'S: GET RID OF THE STYROFOAM TO GO CUPS. Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and leaches chemicals into your delicious coffee ! Otherwise, you're perfect!

Rachel Mazza

Make sure your laptop is fully charged if you're working from here cause there's only 1 power point

Barbara Rivera

Ginger mol lasses is the way to go

Rachel Mazza

Funky spot with great selection and good wifi

GiGi

A shot in the dark (hot chocolate w/ a shot of espresso ) is amazing!

Marc Mayer

Fantastic atmosphere, always full of characters. It's a cultural landmark .

Madison Levin-Epstein

Had the lemonade and jungle juice , highly recommend the latter.

Waiton Farrell

Chocolate Sitch : blended ice, coffee , and chocolate . Verdict: caffeinated heaven. Go with the large. It's $4.50 well-spent if you need an extra boost of energy.

Nicole Hering

Get a shot in the dark and a seat in the light. Best RIT spot to get your work done!

Sarah Lang

Best for: people-watching, vegan cupcakes , hipster vibes .

Joshua Lowery

Try the hot chocolate w/black raspberry . So good!

Yichen Lu

hot chocolate to die for! love the extra whipped cream <3

Jennifer Winter

Had the wolf blitzer and the mushroom brie :) very good

Bridget Badore

I think they're the only coffee shop besides Dunkin donuts that still uses styrofoam cups....?

Reid Robbins

Great atmosphere, great, freezing inside though during the winter.

Vinny Green

The sandwiches are terrific and reasonably priced. Lots of food for the price.

Great Barista's great service. Awesome location!

The blueberry muffins are delicious, but they crumble easily.
