Food. Coffee is legit. The mocha is nice, I find in recent years everyone has been going strong coffee, dark chocolate, serious mocha. This one is lighter, more towards the chocolate side than the coffee side. I had their The Snug and that was excellent as well.Service. Good. Everyone was nice.Atmosphere. Tables are quite small, so don't expect parties of 3 or 4 to use laptops or textbooks. There's no wifi. Washroom is clean. If you dine in, just come expecting to enjoy the coffee otherwise their set up is better for a grab and go.
Great coffee. I had a hot vanilla latte from there and it was super good. They even made art on the top foam. The employees were super friendly and the shop itself was very comfortable. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is that nothing stood out to me to make it an awesome experience. It was very great coffee though, I do recommend.
A bit expensive but overall is a nice coffeeshop in the Rochester area. They do designs on top of your drink, so maybe it was worth the $4 for a 8 oz. hot chocolate. There were day-old pastries available for a discount, which I appreciate for the efforts to decrease waste. Adequate seating is available and there is a wheelchair entrance/exit on the street facing Charlotte Street.
Professional coffee, great baristas and cozy place, I glad I stopped for coffee here :)
Inviting setting and and baristas so I would revisit for that reason alone. Price for an iced coffee with anything other than milk was unnecessarily high considering the small size and they do not provide WiFi. Just a few things to be aware of.
Ugly Duck Coffee, while in the heart of the East Ave neighborhood, may still be considered a little bit off the tracks as it is on a lightly travelled side street. Recently voted the best independent coffee spot in New York State we have been a few times in the last few months and have enjoyed the chill vibe, pastries and solid coffee. Many of their pastries are either Gluten Free or Vegan so there is something for all, and their coffee offerings are deep including multiple drinks, house brew and Americanos. Located around the corner from The Little Theatre it is a great place to stop before a matinee, or to simply chill and plan a vacation or long weekend.
Delicious mocha and cappuccino! Love the vibe too - the staff was so sweet.Highly recommend the pistachio chocolate croissant and homemade brown sugar pop tarts
Delicious coffee but ridiculously over the top ( not to say fascist ) mask enforcement.I’m certainly not against wearing a mask but damn - having to wear it at all times including between sips of coffee ?Not to mention parking is difficult and confusing as there is now clear marking as to what is there parking vs. the numerous other businesses in the area and street sparking has at least 3 ft of snow to climb to overcome. Not to mention the prices set a new (higher )standard in the area.
Decent espresso but ridiculous pricing.Latte is 5 bucks, with an extra shot it's 8.25. That's absurd. They use Gimme coffee beans- Gimme makes it twice as good at about half the price.
I liked the cafe, great atmosphere and nice staff. It could be somewhat bigger, for all the coffee fans to sit, relax and chit- chat. This place is very popular- not only for locals, it was quite packed on a Sunday morning. They are dog friendly. Oh, I almost forgot- I loved their coffee :) Good place for vegans, they have multiple non- dairy options for a surcharge. Coffee beans and other small gifts are available to purchase.
