Very nice spacious cafe with lots of interesting art deco, close to music school so interesting for people watching as well. The cappuccino I had was meh, but my husband said his espresso was good. We had a strawberry lemon tart that was tasty. Oatmeal raisin cookie was solid, ginger molasses was fine (my husband enjoyed it, I’m not a fan), the chocolate chip was a letdown. Still an enjoyable experience though.

Went in and was a little overwhelmed with what to select, as I do in all coffee shops. A very friendly person had just received their order and I asked what that was. Got the same thing and it was very good. A cold drink with espresso.
Not as organized as an Sbucks, but that is not what you go there for. Great atmosphere, and decent coffee.
I will be going back again, and hopefully moving it to a 5 star.
The bathrooms are located downstairs, a very long staircase. With shallow stairs.

Great coffee been coming here and around the area since I was a kid (born in 2000). I love love the yerba mate as someone who wants caffeine but doesn't like coffee!
Always love the art and whenever my friends from out of town visit I bring them here :) I always grab a bag of fresh ground coffee to ship back home as well. PLEASE never stop!

The best thing about this place is it is open till late hours which is something impossible to find in this city. The location is very nice. Very cozy and cute. The food quality could be better in my opinion, still good though. There are also vegan options.

Great vibes here and definitely a very unique place for a good coffee. I can recommend the Flat White with Oatmilk.

I've been a long time fan of Java's, even before I was a coffee drinker but if you're learning to love coffee like I once was, can't recommend the Shot in the Dark enough! The Health cookie is my go-to, as well 🍪

First time here. Such friendly staff. I felt so relaxed here. I was treated like I was local. Will definitely make the trip back just to come here. And I will pay for parking for more than an hour! Delicious Dirty Chai. And they gave me a to go cup with a little extra🌸

If you're in Rochester 2 things are a must: Museum of play & Java's. Great coffee and the best thing about them is the atmosphere & art. Amazing! 5 star!

This was my first date place and my fav late night coffee and study place and definitely a go to of mine throughout college (Go Tigers!)
Baked goods and coffee are always fresh and the service is always sweet ☺️
Highly recommend if you’re someone who needs a little background activity and a treat to get work done or a place to chat with a friend 💕

My bike group goes to Java's on our Saturday morning bike ride. It's a great vibe, great staff, great coffee. The banana bread and ginger molasses cookies were awesome today!

We went to the regional market first but that was a bust for a light breakfast so my son found this place. I picked a bagel and tea and my family coffee and a treat. Love the decor. Young man behind the counter was helpful and patient. They had some problems with the computer, processing payments but appears to have been an issue that day in the city. Would go again.

Really cool cafe with a nice laid back vibe! The coffee is really good and they have tons of pastries and sweets as well as a kitchen serving sandwiches and other food. The ambiance is nice and it’s very spacious so there’s lots of seating. The only downside is there’s only street parking nearby so you’ll have to pay to park if you visit!

Probably my favorite coffee shop in Rochester. Recommend their Aztec mocha and hot chocolate. The snacks are great, too. Great vibe and atmosphere. Great neighborhood.

I always make a point to visit this unique coffee place when visiting. The Aztec hot coca is simply amazing. The art is great to look at while enjoying libations. They have a downstairs pool table. They are gluten free and vegan friendly.
