Always enjoy their delicious coffee and food. I like the ambiance of this cafe as it is bright and open. Everyone here is friendly and knows well about the coffee they serve. If you can't choose what to order, ask for a recommendation and go with it!

Visited here Saturday Mar 14th. There is a very small parking lot and another parking lot for a plaza across the coffeehouse. I parked in that plaza parking lot even though technically we were allowed! From their instagram I believe this business is still open for takeout! Their instagram is @glenedithcoffee!! Anyways, I’ve always heard of great things about Glen Edith and Glen Edith’s name is a staple rochester local business. I had the mocha kick latte and the lumber long john sandwich. The mocha definitely had a kick to it, I found that most of the spiciness was at the top of the drink but honestly gave me more time to recover with the rest of the drink. I don’t usually prefer spicy drinks but I wanted something with capsaicin to honestly kill any bad things in my body just in case with this whole pandemic As for the sandwich it was very tasty and I tell my friends this all the that pesto is the besto! Highly Recommend! At the time when they had dine in options still allowed in NYS, Glen Edith was taking extra precautions and using all disposable cups and plates which was a great precaution that they were taking at the time. I hope the dine in options will get better in NYS soon because this is an excellent place to chill and do work at!

While visiting town, I decided to try out this coffee spot. I ordered an americano and a cortado - really great blend of beans and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I will def go back there next time I am in town.

One of my favorite coffee places. They do expertly crafted pour-over coffees, as well as espresso drinks. Their food is also really spectacular, though the vegan options are limited (but they do exist!). Pictured is A Toast of Green Envy (their avocado toast, vegan). This was taken on their outdoor seating area, which was surprisingly quiet and peaceful, for being right off busy Park Ave.

Lovely place to sit and chat or get some work done. Excellent drinks, reliable Wi-Fi, and super bright and inviting space. Parking can be a little tricky, but there are plenty of sides streets you can park on if needed.

Top notch coffee. The Cortado was perfectly made. A decent variety of pastries (croissants, cronuts, muffins, savory options). I tried the chocolate croissant and Parmesan leak.. they were good but not as flavorful and crispy. Although I read waffles online, there were none at this location. Still this space is beautiful and gives good vibes. Clean and tastefully decorated. Friendly and calm service. Parking was a bit limited on a Saturday morning. Clutch cafe.

Loved it. My espresso was great. The staff was personable and quick. The feel of the place is incredibly chill. Set here with friends for a couple hours and could of stayed longer if it wasn't closing. I will be coming back! Edit: Just wanted to say I've been back here many many times since this review. My drink is perfect EVERY SINGLE TIME! I will keep coming back!

One of the best coffee shops in Rochester! A great little spot to either get coffee solo and work, or meet up with a friend. You can get your drinks to go or for dining in, which is great and more rare these days. I love the lavender-cardamom as well as the rosebud lattes. Wish they came in bigger sizes! Great addition to The Roc.
