    Pleasantly surprised by how many food & drink options this little cafe had!!! Came here on a Sunday around noon after a spray tan down the way because we were craving boba tea & coffee. Snagged a gluten free PB Cookie, strawberry shortcake latte, and lavender boba tea. DELICIOUS!!!! Prices aren't bad either! I wish there were more locations!! Parking: there is a structure just around the corner that offers FREE parking if under an hour. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the place was very small compared to its boasting number of customers. Being on the corner of a downtown area is an amazing location to drive in customers but the physical space is unfortunate for them. This is obviously not their fault whatsoever but highly encourage shopping around for a bigger location if/when a lease expires.

    This was a few months back, but I still wanted to give them a shout out for everything about this coffee shop. Located right downtown, we went on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. Long line but didn't bother us as we expected it. Service great, lattes were hot and good, store was clean and so was the bathroom. We were able to snag a table which I'm sure doesn't always happen when they're that busy. Did notice some people on computers which I'm ok with, but if it was me I'd offer up the extra seats to people when it's that crowded. Just saying....I don't remember the prices at that time, but we choose here because their prices were better than ANY OTHER COFFEE SHOP in that area. It was budget friendly for sure. This was about 3 months ago, so just check online menu if you need to know ahead of time.

    Coffee shop is very cute. Great place to study or WFH. The employee gave me a great suggestion for my order. Very nice staff. Latte tasted great. Reasonably priced (way cheaper than starbucks). 10/10.

    What a fantastic little coffee spot. I asked if I could have my coffee in a mug instead of a to go cup and they happily obliged! There's just something about wrapping your hands around a ceramic mug. My sandwich was also delicious on an Asiago bagel!

    Great study spot! It's so cute and cozy with lots of seating. Loved their handwritten menu and how much variety there was. Their jasmine ginger tea was DELICIOUS.

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich

    I tried Bean and Leaf's vegan breakfast sandwich and I am so glad I did! I was skeptical that it would taste good because I know it's not their specialty but I loved it! Service is was quick and the staff was friendly, which is always a plus. I am happy to find a local quick vegan breakfast option while out and about that I can grab on the go! It's served on a bagel with a vegan egg and I would come back just for this.

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich & Vegan Bagels (Plain & Everything)

    Searching for Vegan Pastries and Breakfast items, I found the vegan sticker on the window and decided to see what was available. A breakfast sandwich option with a vegan sausage, vegan cream cheese, and vegan everything bagel or vegan plain bagel. Other vegan items available were the vegan banana bread, vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and vegan muffins. Alternative milk options for lattes and teas as well makes this a solid vegan spot to check out! Only challenge is needing to find some street parking at $1.25/hr, or add a block walk from the parking garage on the street behind. Nice atmosphere for light socializing or relaxing by the small fireplace to catch a short break. If you have more vegan sweet craving, the Sanders Chocolates store across the street has a vegan dark chocolate salted carmel waiting for you, as well as a great variety of Kars Trail mixes.

    I ate dinner downtown, enjoyed walking around to see the lights, and then stopped into Bean & Leaf for the first time to grab a warm drink with coworkers. It was busy, but not incredibly loud. Like I often do I asked the employee behind the counter how his night was going and he didn't seem incredibly unhappy but he wasn't thrilled to be there either. Whatever. I ordered 4 large drinks, and they were ready quickly. Tasted good. We were there for about 15-20 minutes, not paying attention to the time, and the same employee (older man) came out from behind the counter shouting "WE CLOSE AT 9 O'CLOCK, WHICH IS RIGHT NOW!" and shut off the lights to the "Open" sign. It was definitely an angry shout and not a good mannered "I'm trying to get everyone's attention" voice. It was incredibly awkward. I highly suggest they get a "countdown" clock that customers can see how many minutes until close, or make an announcement 5, 10, or 15 minutes before closing. It could have been easy to have let me know when I ordered that you were closing shortly. Yes, I could have looked at the door when I walked in and looked at my phone to check the time but I was enjoying the company I was with. I have no reason to ever go back.

    I made an impromptu stop when I realized the restaurant that I planned to visit on Main Street was…read moreclosed. The location at Second and Main Street with open air dining on this beautiful June day in Michigan was very inviting. I took a seat in the dining room and was quickly greeted by a friendly server (Gabbi). I ordered the Salmon Sandwich which included a Teriyaki glaze and Asian slaw with a side of sweet potato fries and a Labatt pilsner draft which was served quickly in a cold pint glass which was enjoyable on a warm afternoon. The sandwich is a little sticky to eat, so maybe not on a date night unless you really want to be stuck with the person you're accompanied by, but it was very tasty and I would order again. Another lady was kind enough to drop off a special sauce to complement the sweet potato fries that was delicious. It seemed was a combination of yogurt, cream cheese and cinnamon possibly. The restaurant was about 30% full on this day in the early afternoon which made for an enjoyable quiet stop. It really reminded me of being Up North in Michigan on this day as this experience included several families enjoying time together on a beautiful Michigan afternoon in a nice downtown.

    We came here for happy hour on a Friday at 5:45. They have good happy hour hours, 4-7!…read more Pros- great pricing for happy hour and regular food and drinks, the calamari was amazing, autumn old fashion was good, lots of seating and large windows, a lot of TVs, a lot of food and drink options Cons- no food on their happy hour, the waitress could use training (she was holding the spout of the water pitcher while walking around to refill drinks) Overall- great sports bar for downtown Rochester!

We made reservations and arrived and got seated. At first, everything was great. The server came and got our drinks and bread right away and asked what we wanted for the app. We put two apps in and when he came back with the drinks we put the pasta in. We asked for more bread and he said he will bring it. This is where it went wrong. About 10 minutes later he passed us to go to his table behind us and said oh yeah the bread Im getting that and your refilled drinks. After that we did not see this guy for almost the remainder of the service. We ate the apps and then still no drinks. We waited for him to come back in this cornered area and did not see him. The manager brought the pasta and they forgot the chicken for my husband. He got us refills and my husband told Him and he said "well I can put in an order and then you can just add it to the pasta". He brought the chicken out 14 minutes later and his pasta was cold. He had waited to eat it. Still no server or bread. Finally the waitress that was in that area asked us if we needed anything. I told her we were waiting for the read for a long time and that we havent seen the waiter since he took our order. He never came when the food came. Just as we said that he walked over and said oh Im getting the bread. They said the bread was taking a while. As he said that, the manager brought the table next to us some bread. Then the waitress brought some for her new table. We waited again. She ended up giving us her bread and then got new bred. He finally came with the bill and said oh did you want dessert? We obviously didn't as we didn't even see him the whole time. He took forever to bring us the change. This is the second time that the service has not been great. The food is great and tastes great. The restaurant is nice and clean and I like the atmosphere. I just feel like paying $72 for this service wasn't great.

Awkward foyer so it is hard to find a spot to sit or stand and wait for your table. A little awkward staring at the people eating at the tables while you wait for a table for yourself. We usually retreat to the back of the restaurant there is a little hallway before the restroom that has a line of chairs in order to get out of the way from the front door. The decor could use a little makeover but at the same time it does give a warm grandma's kitchen vibe. Single stall bathroom in back is ok - feels a little grimey though. Menu has both breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get the fresh squeezed orange juice - it is a pricey treat but so worth it. They also have specials that are written above the kitchen so be sure to check those out. Staff are great and working hard hustling back and forth between tables and the kitchen. Never feel neglected or that they are too busy to check in. Food is awesome! Had a little but of everything but the quiche was my favorite. Portion sizes are great (other than the fresh squeezed OJ).
