They also have a nice patio that is partially shaded and was super comfortable on a warm sunny day. It's perfect for indoor or outdoor study time or coffee catch-ups. They do have free WiFi. The building has a few different seating areas since it is a converted house design. The art and merch are creative and music-themed. There is a music school in the top floor of the building, but you can't hear the music from the coffee shop. The drink was good, although my panini was a bit hard after it was toasted. My friend enjoyed her panini. 5/5 for the service, drink, and vibes. Love that it's nut-free!

We received fast, friendly service. They offer a wide selection of drinks and food. A decent amount of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. I had kind of planned on a iced coffee before arriving since it was a hot day, but after discovering they offered more than just black tea for their iced teas I went with a strawberry iced tea. It was made from fresh brewed herbal tea and unsweetened. The perfect, refreshing sip for a hot day! My friends both opted for strawberry smoothies and said they were good.

Ok, technically it was late for breakfast fare, but if you present yourself as a coffee house/bakery, and you are open for business for another 3 hours, you really shouldn't be running out of fresh baked goods. The barista that took my order was brusque and made me feel as if I was bothering her by asking a question. The place was busy; doesn't have enough table seating; and the coffee itself was nothing to write home about. Oh well. . .there are a lot of coffee houses in Rochester. . .maybe my next one will be one I can rave about.

The café was charming and decked out for Pride Month, with colorful decor, posters for community events, and plenty of information on local resources.

I had the chai which was pretty standard for a chai. My friend ordered their seasonal mint matcha which was surprisingly refreshing.

They did seem to be short staffed too but our orders came out quick and it didn't feel delayed

We stopped in specifically because they advertise pour overs, but the experience didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I ordered a Kenya pour over, and unfortunately it tasted closer to basic diner or convenience-store drip coffee--slightly burnt and lacking any of the clarity or flavor notes you'd expect from a properly prepared pour over. As someone who regularly makes pour overs at home, this was especially disappointing because there was no distinction in taste or quality. The preparation process also didn't feel intentional. The pour seemed rushed and inconsistent--initially a quick dump of water, then the barista stepped away to do other tasks, came back intermittently, and finished with a more uneven, spray-like pour. There didn't appear to be any timer use or focused brewing process, which may explain the lack of extraction quality. On top of that, pricing felt on the higher side. Milk alternatives and mocha add-ons each came with additional charges, which stacked up quickly. Service-wise, staff were polite but not particularly engaging or welcoming, which made the overall experience feel even more transactional. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're going specifically for high-quality pour overs or craft coffee. It may work better for standard espresso drinks or quick stops, but it didn't deliver on the specialty coffee experience we were hoping for.

We both ordered the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, which was light, refreshing, and delicious. It does lean a bit sweet for those who mind, but we certainly didn't. The pastry case was almost overwhelming in the best way -- everything looked amazing. We ended up choosing the Honey Cake and the Strawberry Shortcake. The shortcake was lovely: light, flavorful, and topped with the most perfect whipped cream. Then we tried the Honey Cake and were absolutely blown away. It was airy, delicately sweet, and so craveable that we could have easily eaten a few more slices. Truly outstanding. The interior is spotless and beautifully designed, and their patio made for a wonderful place to enjoy our treats. We'll definitely be returning.

I have been wanting to visit 7 Brew Coffee for some time and the experience did not disappoint…read more When we arrived on a Sunday morning the line was fairly long. It had me wondering if we were going to be stuck in the drive through for a bit. I was surprised by how efficient everything was as the workers were taking orders well ahead of the line which seemed to keep things moving. The menu has so many options I wasn't sure what to pick. I went with the Cherry Blossom Lemonade. Consisting of cherry and peach flavor in a lemonade. I chose a medium which was quite large and cost me less than 5 dollars. The drink was real tasty! I have been craving another. The ordering process was quick and easy. I think the overall time taken was a little under 10 minutes. Not much ambiance to be found as it's a drive up operation. They did have music playing and signage which initially confused me, as I thought you could get two medium drinks for 7 dollars. (Plus stickers!) the employee explained this is a special they have on the 7th of each month and it can get quite busy as who doesn't want discounts and free stickers?
