Absolutely not!! 441 Ministries operates New City Cafe and a…read morecommercial coffee roasting operation under the same nonprofit. Coffee roasting produces smoke, fine particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds that can affect air quality if proper ventilation and emission controls are not fully in place. They operate and have been polluting the neighborhood and emitting harmful toxins into nearby homes . Despite known compliance and equipment concerns, roasting has continued -- including during periods when youth programming is happening. Exposure to roasting emissions can impact both environmental air quality and human health, particularly for children and individuals with asthma or respiratory sensitivities. An organization serving teens and families should prioritize strict environmental compliance and transparent safeguards. Until proper controls and full regulatory compliance are clearly demonstrated, i cannot recommend supporting this location.

I grew up in Rochester but have since moved away, and I was sad I didn't find this place sooner -…read moreor you know, when I actually lived and worked in Rochester. On a recent visit to Rochester, one of my friends and I met up at this cool location for a coffee and to catch up. There are options galore for drinks and they're so good. I loved my marshmallow latte. They have options for board games, events they host, and a small corner for small/local artists to share and sell their products. It was so interesting to explore and look around while I caught up with an old friend. Next time I'm in Rochester, I'm definitely coming back.

Small families enjoying food. Couples and friends chatting over coffee. They support local businesses. We came on a Saturday afternoon, when students from RIT were given tables to show and sell their art in a non intrusive way. Coffee is really fantastic. I had an Americano, with their Espresso Blend. Roast master told me he does the sourcing, blending and roasting. This one had Ethiopian and Colombian beans. Fabulous blend of earthy and chocolate tones. I bought a pound to prepare with my French Press at hotel and the roaster grinded it to a perfect coarse. Side note: please never drink coffee from those hotel room machines. You can always do better! Come, have a coffee, have lunch, buy beans or ground coffee for your enjoyment at home. This is the type of place that makes café lovers feel right at home, even when traveling.

My friend and I got here on a Saturday noon after a brunch that literally left a bad taste in our mouths! They make your coffee first and serve it to you before you pay, that's very sweet! I got the egg nog latte but I needed some extra sugar and my friend got a white Christmas latte. We both enjoyed our coffee. I also wanted to buy some coffee beans but I thought I'd do so at a later time. Check it out if you're in the vicinity!

I don't drink coffee, so I suppose my opinion about coffee places is a bit under-seasoned, but…read moreUnion Place seems like a good one. Super high ceilings, local art on the walls, comfortable seats, and friendly folks behind the counter. While I don't drink coffee, I was purchasing nine pounds of coffee (it's a stocking stuffer in our family) for other people. It seems like Union Place typically has an excellent and varied selection of different beans, but it was too close to Christmas and they were running low on it all. My friend came out from behind the counter, and helped my navigate what was still available. I got a lot of beans, they ground them for me for the right filters (while I sat in a very comfortable chair), and I was out of there. If you actually drink coffee, I bet you'll like this place even better than I do.

Maggie greeted me immediately and showed me around. In addition to the shortbread which is kept in a refrigerator case, there are Scottish collectibles, jewelry, and ground coffee for purchase (no whole beans at this time). They make several varieties of shortbread but stock was low (I think due to St Patrick's Day, even though that's Irish, idk). I bought the plain/regular and a Whiskey Pecan. Both were made fresh this week. Under the paper wrapper, the 8 "fingers" are wrapped in plastic for freshness. The cookies were light, not too dry and delicious. I could taste the Whiskey flavor but my hubby said it was barely there. Regardless, we both loved both cookies. I will be going back next week for the cranberry ones. I can't wait!
