Canaltown Coffee Roasters

Very impressive and this place is a hidden gem. Can't beat freshly roasted coffee that's done on display. The friendly owner explained all the different beans offered and mentioned he's traveled to some of the growers estates. He even let us watch a batch of coffee being roasted and explained the process. This inside is not fancy but it's a great experience, excellent coffee, and not overpriced. Worth a visit, especially if you value and appreciate fresh roasted coffee beans.

Canaltown has been roasting coffee in the same location for 31 years, and they've learned a lot of things over this period, so when they have a blend called "Rochester's Choice", you know it's based on experience. Currently, my wife and I have been enjoying the organic Peruvian and making our own Rochester's choice by mixing half regular roast and half French roast, so good I included a picture.

Nice little, locally roasted coffee house. Tucked in a small shopping center on East ave, right across from Wegmans. I liked that this place wasnt too assuming letting the coffee speak for itsel, unlike other places that highlight that they can make a leaf of the top of your latte. Heard about this place from a friend and was in the city looking for a quiet place for afternoon coffee. I got my usual, straight black coffee and their Rochester blend had full bodied and flavor. Wife got a irish creme latte that she really enjoyed. BONUS, although they dont make their own pastries, we did notice that they did get some of them at least from Savoias! Wife and I split a couple shortbreads and a biscotti. Impressive selection of whole bean coffee on site. Would recommend for a great cup of coffee if you are in the area.
