Canaltown Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in City of Rochester

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...

The atmosphere is awesome and relaxing. After the first time I stepped into this coffee shop I can't drink coffee anywhere else!

My favorite coffee here is the Peruvian light roast in a French press! The lighter roasts have much more caffeine (because the longer the coffee is roasted the more caffeine gets burned out of the bean) and are a much smother coffee. Don't try it if you have heart issues!

Update... still the best coffee...
