Nice place to grab coffee, tea, or beer. Its very spacious. I like it cause it doesnt feel like there's a billion people in here with no where to sit. Staff was nice.

Rating as a coffee roastery more than as a beer brewery - you can be 5⭐ for one and 4⭐ for the other, and still Google 5⭐ 😎 As fresh as coffee can get - bright, acidic, but with range. Beer is easy to drink, a bit boozy. Food sells out... … More Shared space and young, studying crowd will make you snap your fingers.

KC was an overnight stop and we topped off our mini brewery tour with a coffee stout, which I had seen on their website. I thought what a fabulous idea to combine brewing coffee and brewing beer in one business! I HAD to try the coffee … More stout for which Rochester is its OWN collaborator. Didn't disappoint. Took advantage of Thursday's special Buy a Draft and get a free ($3.50) Taster of your choice. Delicious looking pastries were still available at end of day. Im sure their coffee is amazing. Laid back vibe invites locals to come for coffee in the mornings and Happy Hours after work. Check them out if you are in town.
