Quaint little child-friendly spot offering good drinks and good food. However, if you plan on ordering food, you better have some time on your hands. It is not uncommon, from our experience, for food orders to take upwards to 50-60 minutes. Last time we ordered, it took 48 minutes for us to get two wraps that didnt even require any ingredients to be cooked. No explanation, no apology. The gluten-free wrap was in pieces and required a knife and fork (see image). Once again, everything is always delicious, but the speed of service is occasionally mind-boggling.
A cute coffee shop with quirky wall art. They have a good variety of food to choose from (we both got the BLT with egg and yogurt parfaits), and when we specified a gluten allergy, they offered to clean the griddle to reduce any cross contamination. It wasn't necessary for our needs, but it was thoughtful of them to offer despite how busy they were. The lattes were delicious, and the staff was very friendly and patient while we placed our order.
Just found this coffee shop a week ago after being displaced, now permanently, from Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC. I have been to more coffee shops than I can count on 5 hands….after being here twice, it’s absolutely one of my favorites! The little store up front, the coffee, and the gluten free & vegan cookies they sell are both worth every penny. I haven’t tried the food yet, but that’s next. I’ve already introduced the place to local family and friends. I look forward to my visits now to this side of town.
This place has been on my local restaurants to try for awhile now. It did not disappoint. I went with a couple of my girlfriends, one of which is gluten free. This place was perfect because they have several gluten free and also vegan options for anyone looking for those dietary choices. I started off with the duck wings, which were so much larger than I expected, perfectly crunchy with a somewhat sweet sauce (reminded me of country sweet sauce) which really married the flavors. I chose to have the gnocchi with peas, large thick pieces of fresh pancetta, mushrooms, in a light cream sauce with parmigiana shavings. I needed to add some more seasoning and parmigiana, but ultimately it was good considering it was listed as gluten free. This place is worth a try. It is perfect to go with friends, a romantic dinner, or also great for double dates.
So good! A great selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options, and everything is clearly labeled. We started with Mama Ganoush (Baba Ganoush, but without yogurt), falafel, and lentil soup. The lentil soup has a lovely hint of lemon, and the falafel and mama ganoush disappeared quickly. My aunt & I each got the half portion rice plates (mine with falafel & tabouleh, my aunt's with beef & tabouleh), and my husband got the Shwarma pita wrap with an extra side of beef & an order of hummus. We all ended up taking food home because we were stuffed. The rice is so flavorful, and the tabouleh is a perfect balance of bulgar & parsley. We were hoping to get baklava, but it was in the oven & wouldn't be ready until dinner service, but the sesame cookies we got instead were a perfect treat with tea at the end of our meal. Not too sweet at all. Looking forward to going back again & trying different dishes!
As a part of my Rochester Coffee Crawl, I tried Hydra Coffee. I got the bananas foster latte (iced with almond milk) and it was really good! The merch and the vibes of this place is adorable. I loved the atmosphere and the fact that they had an upstairs area as well.
I’m a sucker for cold foam and creative/artsy lattes but this latte was definitely doable! It was all of the requirements of what you need in an authentic latte. When I come back to Rochester I could definitely see myself coming back to get some coffee!
Of course, I didn’t leave without grabbing a gluten free strawberry jam bar (which was absolutely excellent) and a sweatshirt! The staff was so kind here as well and gave me great recommendations on what to get and what they like from the menu!
OMG! The most amazing dessert I have ever had! I will most definitely be ordering from her all of the time! I got coconut cake and pistachio cake and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. All keto and gluten free. Seriously how do they make it taste so good!? YUM!
I got a customized bowl of food. Something for everyone- meat, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options. Lots of healthy options. The portions are really big, totally worth the money. The staff were very nice and helpful. Paper menus to go available, menus on the wall too. Try to plan your trip so you can turn right into the plaza- the left is almost impossible. I'll have to go that way more often.
Ooo this just might be my new fave! Really great coffee choices, oat milk, and some gluten-free options from their food menu (gf bagels).
It’s a really cute/ funky atmosphere without being horrifically overpriced and pretentious like some other local options 👀
I normally order a turkey club on gluten free bread, which is amazing. However, we no longer can eat pork. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, and I ended up with a sandwich. Their site says they have gluten free wrappers. Also, they didn’t notify me.
Not a bad little lunch spot with some gluten free options. I was able to order the tuna melt on the gluten free bun and get 2 sides.
The staff was extremely friendly and double checked ingredients to make sure it was gluten free.
The atmosphere is cozy and fun with so much art and light. There’s east street parking and even some outdoor tables.
The food was good and prices fair.
Extremely lovely place to hang out and just have a nice time with the cats. I love that it's an open space with separate rooms for the cats to take breaks from people if they need to, and everyone is really great about making sure the cats (and other people) are respected. I think it's a good place to see how the cats will behave in a home since they're not overcrowded or attention-starved. I love the art featured by local creators. Minus food points for limited snack choices but plus food points for the snacks being gluten free + vegetarian.
My wife and I had a great lunch date here!👍
Very good food, good vegan options, and great kombucha on tap (we did a kombucha flight)
They also have REALLY fresh and delicious gluten-free treats and a cute shop selling Japanese-inspires wares, and metalwork art.
Will certainly visit again!⭐
