I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Coffee Connection. We sat in the open-air greenhouse area. The canopys kept us nicely shaded while the coverless roof allowed a refreshing breeze to keep us comfortable. I will have to try the beautifully furnished inside area when the weather gets cooler. We actually had a business meeting (2 people) and found it to be quite conducive to talking shop, all the while being sourounded by flowers and growing vegetables. So very relaxing. Our heads were clear (or was it the delicious double espresso shots?) so it was easy to focus.
The only thing that struck me as a little odd was that the barista was surprised that I just ordered espresso all by itself. No big deal. Customers there must mix it with their coffee a lot.
Bottom line, I highly recommend Coffee Connection as a place for a serene cup of coffee.
Cute nonprofit cafe supporting an awesome cause (women in recovery from addiction). Great homemade food and drinks and locally roasted coffee. Lots of seating indoor and out. Live music some nights on weekends. Not too busy.
Great caused. Love this bottomless cup of coffee option and the baby grand anyone can play. Good lunch fare options. Quiche has been good several different time. Live music is enjoyable, love the flowers put front and semi open patio in back.
Would like to see this place get more customers so they can be open longer in evenings
Great cause helping folks rebuild their lives and develop career skills. Plus it's a unique space.
This is the most cozy and charming coffee shop I’ve ever been too! And even better they help benefit people in the community! It was heavenly in there. Great seating, fireplace, amazing coffee and the chillest vibe of any place in Rochester! Most certainly my new fav spot and I can’t wait to go back!
Really good coffee great atmosphere. $3 gets you a bottomless cup of coffee and proceeds go to the women's charity. Can't wait to go back when it's warm! They have an outdoor space behind the greenhouse! The menus looks great and they use the veggies from their green house!
The Greenhouse Cafe is open again ! They have great coffee and supports a great cause. On some Fridays there is live music, local art hangs on the walls. The place has a trendy organic vibe that's hard to beat. I love to sit in the back patio/greenhouse/ garden area , it's a great place to relax over lunch/ coffee with friends.
I went here to listen to some live music. While there I learned about the mission of this place. They are not for profit and help former drug addicted and abused women. I don't drink coffee, however I hear that their coffee is among the best in Rochester. I will try some for friends who drink it. I had tea and a blueberry muffin. There staff was very friendly and casual. I would be happy to return for another visit.
Love this place! Great idea, they grow food on the back greenhouse, have coffee, teas, and food (soups, sandwiches). Tables and a huge comfy room of couches and chairs to relax in. Great staff and atmosphere. Music and poetry. Piano in the big front room. I've been to several parties there and open mic nights. Coffee Connection/Greenhouse Cafe is a gray GREAT!!
Pleasant, Serene and Relaxing, great place for meeting with a friend or business partner. Staff is courteous and professional. The coffee is good also. I gave it 5 stars because. Because my friend and I spent a hour there without any rudeness or distractions from our conversation.
My first visit and I loved this little hideaway. Great coffee, but it's the atmosphere I really loved. Next time you visit, ask them how they help women overcome adversity through their hiring practices.
