    If you are anywhere near this gem, make sure you stop in. You won't regret it. The cafe is modern, immaculate, warm and inviting. Lots of room for lounging with a layout that offers privacy. We appreciate the diverse clientele and the friendly interactions between staff and patrons. We are mocha snobs and are always happy to try an independent coffee shop to sample their decaf mochas. Our large mochas arrived piping hot with the prettiest foam set. They had a deep chocolatey taste that was not too sweet and a really base. About as close to perfect as it gets. We did not have a dessert but we were so tempted. Their selection is large and looks really delicious. We will be back. The outdoor seating also looks really inviting for warmer days. Update: Dropped by the day after I posted the above review, as we were so happy with this coffee shop. Yesterday's review was on a Friday around 2:00 pm when the shop was not too busy. Today, Saturday, we stopped in @ 1:00 pm. Very busy cafe, waits for drinks and most seating filled. No problem. Worth the wait, we thought. Unfortunately, our pearl mochas were only luke warm, the chocolate pearls did not melt; rather, they settled into a clump we found at the bottom of our mugs when our drinks were finished. No beautiful foam art (I get it, but no excuse to cut corners on quality.) These drinks are expensive so visiting the coffee shop is a treat. We were disappointed. Dropping from a 5-star to 4- star review as my rating of today's visit would be a 3 at best. We will likely try a third visit soon. The shop is lovely. The staff are kind. Service was slow on both days, yet if your goal is to longer and enjoy the experience, it's not a deal breaker. Hoping these reviews serve to inform constructive quality control as we would love to make Mezaj's a regular stop.

    The drink menu is diverse and the interior is nice but the drinks leave a bit to be desired. The matcha specifically never tastes quite right, not bad, but missing something. I've tried the vanilla and strawberry matcha, I would try the vanilla again. The strawberry was overpowering and didn't taste like matcha at all. It would be helpful if the dairy alternatives were listed somewhere, ideally on a menu or near the ordering register. It would also be helpful to have more information about the traditional drinks for those who aren't familiar. The staff is friendly enough but service is typically slower. This isn't a morning stop for a latte on the way to work type of place. It's more of a slow weekend morning or afternoon study session place. I am not in a hurry to return but it's worth visiting if in the area.

    The space is beautiful and I was excited to stop in. The service was friendly (although slow) as well but unfortunately it fell significantly short of expectations. As a new location I'm hoping they take this feedback and realize that customers do recognize when flavors are noticeably missing from their drinks! My saffron and honey latte contained no taste of saffron (note the color of the latte!) and was mostly milk. Likewise the other latte that contained no flavor of Kunafe. For $19, It's really unfortunate to see what the drinks are supposed to look like on social media and reviews and then to receive such a subpar product after paying so much.

    Back again on a Sunday morning for coffee! We went right an opening (9am) and they were already busy. As a place that serves coffee, I think they would benefit from opening earlier for sure! The kunafe pistachio latte was good! Not too sweet, unique flavor, strong. I do not understand the trend of not stirring the drink. Though it is esthetically pleasing, I took one sip and knew I need to get a straw just to stir my drink. Maybe I'm old- but if I'm paying $8 for a coffee I would like it to be mixed properly! With all of that being said, I do like Mezaj and I will definitely be back for another fun iced latte!

    Mezaj Coffee is a popular new coffee shop in Rochester. The interior decor is stunning with modern lighting, plenty seating like cushion chairs and high end sofas, and hints of gold and green throughout. The display of yummy pastries immediately caught my eye yet the lack of listed prices threw me off. I can attest the mango cheesecake was delicious. As for drinks, we tried the strawberry matcha and the new Dubai chocolate latte! Both drinks were sweet, rich, and delicious! Mezaj Coffee is a wonderful place to catch up with a friend, work, or just enjoy a beautiful drink in a relaxing environment. I'm already looking forward to going back to try more.

    A fantastic spot! We got a few items for takeout- the hot Mezaj Adani Chai, red velvet cake, and the nutella pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious! The indoor was incredible, well-decorated with plenty of seating. Great spot to work or chat with friends. The service was quick. Would highly recommend!

    Interstellar Latte

    They have a pretty wide selection of drinks and pastries and a really nice interior to work from. They're usually pretty busy, but I've never had trouble finding seating or a place with accessible outlets to work from. I do think their drinks are too sweet in general for my taste, and even when I asked for less pumps of syrup, I got way more than I would want, so I do think if you're more of a simple coffee enthusiast, this isn't the place. If you love fun flavors and more 'adult milkshake' type of coffee, definitely worth checking out.

    So far have tried multiple items from here including the house latte, drip coffee, matcha and other lattes. We tried various pastries. Everything is fresh and tasty the staff is very friendly and nice. Beautiful decor and ambiance.

    These Yemeni coffee houses are pretty amazing; it's huge, and there are tons of seating options inside. I looked up Mezaj, it means mood and the mood inside was busy but they had lots of help. The lines moved pretty quick. I got the interstellar latte which had some ube in there, it's a solid choice. The coffee did not have any bitterness to it. I would recommend it for sure. Also, sugar free baklava, excellent for those concerned about the diabeeeetus! Beautiful coffee shop, lots of fun items to try along with the coffee, I will be back!

    Enjoyed the experience, the lavender latte was good! I'd come back to try more - tons of great baked goods. Glad to see a new coffee shop in the area.

    Cute cafe, nice workers, quality coffee! And look how cute the strawberry mood latte is! It's so good!! With as pink as it is, very much still has the coffee flavor, 9/10. Ube macaron was great

    I came back with my husband for him to try it and it was just as great! We tried the espresso cheesecake and it was so yummy! I had an iced latte and tried a sip pf bis Kunafe Pistachio Latte since it was so beautiful ! It was really good and my husband loved it! I love they are open until 10 on a Friday night and service is excellent. They are well staffed. I love the vibe and decor and variety of seating including outdoors.

    40 minutes to get one coffee with a staff of five behind the counter. Inexcusable. Go somewhere else. Your time is too valuable.
