Mocha House — Restaurant in City of Rochester

Let me start off by saying the drinks are absolutely amazing, any drink I have gotten here was always wonderful and you can tell they put care into making it.

The shop itself is nice, with plenty of seating and the decor is nice but not over the top.

I am not a fan of the pastries. Both times I had gotten pastries, the first one was some kind of donut type item with mascarpone. It was okay, but the entire thing kind of tasted like it had been sitting in a refrigeration unit for some time.

The second visit, I got macarons. They were extremely soft, and the flavor was off, like something had gone bad. Almost like milk that had gone bad mixed with a bit of refrigeration flavor (I can't describe that flavor but it's what happens to food if you leave it uncovered in a refrigerator, it gets that weird taste)

And this was both macarons (I got one strawberry chocolate, and one that I was told was orange but was actually mango)

Also, the macarons should be labeled because I was told the orange macaron was orange (I had to ask what each flavor was) but it was actually mango flavor and there are people out there with mango allergies, so you need to be really careful with that. I'm also not a fan of mango flavored anything so I was kind of put off by that.

I do hope the pastries / desserts improve because they are beautiful and they are not cheap in price, but they don't taste like quality desserts.

Either way, I will be back again for more drinks (The pistachio latte is absolutely amazing, and the tiramisu latte was also fantastic) And the staff are great, they are always so friendly when you walk in and quick to take your order and get...

Mocha House is a true gem — the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone, with cozy seating, natural light, and a modern yet comfortable vibe perfect for relaxing, meeting friends, or getting work done.

Highly recommend the famous Adani Chai, various cold brews of tea and coffee. The Turkish coffee was also outstanding. They also have other traditional American coffee drinks.

The cheese pies and spinach pies were great. Loved the authentic meat pies with a hint of pomegranate molasses. Very authentic. We are lucky to have this place in our backyard!

The coffee is outstanding, from smooth, bold espresso to perfectly crafted lattes and specialty drinks, all made with fresh, high-quality beans.

The desserts were up notch. Baklava, macaroons, cakes, pies are all excellent and taste incredible.

Their pastries and light bites are equally impressive, with fresh, flavorful options that feel homemade and thoughtfully prepared.

The staff make the experience even better with their friendliness, knowledge, and genuine care for customers, creating a welcoming environment that keeps you wanting to come back.

Clean, comfortable, and consistently excellent, Mocha House is easily one of the best coffee spots...

I am really rooting for this coffeehouse to succeed! I'm so excited for a decent Starbucks alternative. I've been here 3 times so far. My temporary verdict is that the spiced drinks are AMAZING, and the sweet ones are not good. The hot chai tea and iced hazelnut oat milk shaken espresso were fantastic; I would order them again and again. The iced mocha latte with oat milk and iced brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk were so bad, I wouldn't drink them again if they were free. I hope they can refine their sweet drink recipes, but until then, I'm more than content to stick with the spiced drinks! Their staff also needs to get a bit more familiar with the drink menu, but I'm holding judgment because they just opened. For example, I wanted to order a dairy-free drink, and the staff suggested the shaken espresso, but didn't remember that there was cold foam with dairy on it. Maybe they should have an allergen menu. The staff, overall, seemed to care, though, and I'm hopeful that Mocha House will continue to improve and become an...
