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.

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.

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 thats hard to beat. I love to sit in the back patio/greenhouse/ garden area, its 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 dont 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.

This place is a diamond in the rough! My husband and I were visiting the area for a few days and had stumbled across the other location (on South Ave) and loved it - the mission, the coffee, the atmosphere! So we decided to check out the other location before we headed home.Tammy was SO sweet, helpful, and made our experience all the better!The food was DELICOUS!!!!!We brought home some gluten-free fresh baked snacks and decided to support thowr amazing mission by purchasing some T-shirts and a cool coffee tumbler.My husband and I are both recovering addicts (with over 10 yrs of sobriety each) and feel that local missions like this need to be supported.We cant wait to fo back and visit again!

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!

Whether you sit outside in front of the cafe, inside at a table, in a lounge chair by the fireplace or inside of the greenhouse this cafe is cozy. The coffee and snacks are good, the environment is welcoming, and learning about the organization is interesting. The cafe on South Ave is also worth a visit.

Owner very distrespectfull. Towards humens employes that have worked there formany years havent givin employes raises wen customers enter green house suposttobe social disticing. Pople sit next to each other no social disticingother people have told me about pour sevice

Who doesnt love hanging out in a cool coffee shop? This place has the heart of the locals in mind, serving excellent coffee, homemade cafe-style meals, and the awesome girls that work there. The chicken salad and Mayan Gold latte are my favorites!

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 eveningsGreat cause helping folks rebuild their lives and develop career skills. Plus its a unique space.

Great place to grab a cup of Joe and supporting women in recovery

Really good coffee great atmosphere. $3 gets you a bottomless cup of coffee and proceeds go to the womens charity. Cant wait to go back when its warm! They have an outdoor space behind the greenhouse! The menus looks great and they use the veggies from their green house!

The cutest little cafe! Absolutely loved it there it was cozy and warm and the staff were super friendly! Great place to hang and talk with friends

This is a nonprofit shop run by women who are facing addiction. I happened to be there when there was a meeting of the full staff and was absolutely inspired by their attitudes, passion for the business, and support of one another. This is such a wonderful concept and something that could be more broadly utilized throughout the entire community.

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.

Love the coffee and the atmosphere. Very casual and open area. They have a good selection of coffee and tea along with some food items. It is a great local place to go for a coffee.

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. Ive been to several parties there and open mic nights. Coffee Connection/Greenhouse Cafe is a gray GREAT!!

Absolutley love this place. They have great food and beverages and excellent service. Also its for a good cause so why not?

Drinks are very high quality but a little on the pricy side for what they are. Staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly.Service was incredibly slow when I was there and I would warn against the soups as they arent very flavorful. The staff was kind enough to give us replacement sandwiches which was an unexpected surprise.Id go back for the drinks and atmosphere.

Live music 😃staff is wonderful, good coffee for sale, helps people w addiction recover.

My first visit and I loved this little hideaway. Great coffee, but its the atmosphere I really loved. Next time you visit, ask them how they help women overcome adversity through their hiring practices.

Unique, cosy hole-in-the-wall. Excellent coffee and baked goods. They offer smooth roasts and they accommodated a lactose intolerance with almond milk. Proceeds benefit a womans organization. I wish I lived closer but I plan to go again!

Very tasty and innovative dishes that are healthy and affordable. Very unique.

This cafe helps empower women in addictions recovery (very cool!) with Fair Trade coffee/products from Central America (probably very cool!) in a cozy, quaint, 2nd wave coffee house inside of a GREENHOUSE. Its unique and fun. The customer service isnt always very good, but you just have to kind of roll with it as part of the experience.

Absolutely love this place. Kind people and a beautiful outdoor nature feel. Love it!

I love being able to support a good cause and enjoy quality food and coffee!!

I love the reuse of this old greenhouse, the mission to give women a second chance. Food is creative and tasty. Coffees are unique and delicious!

Just go! Very lovely cafe environment. Beautiful space, great crowd. Check out their poetry open mic!!!

Great setting & coffee - great dark roast. Youll spend more time than expected, but youll enjoy & relax. Dont rush life. Enjoy the little things.

Its a neighborhood living room. Comfortable and friendly. I love spending time there.So glad to have such a forward thinking café in my neighborhood. Come check it out and support their mission.

Great coffee, atmosphere and food. Cool change of pace from chain coffee houses. I enjoyed reading next to the fireplace

It doesnt get any better than this, delicious coffee, live music with a piano for everyone to tinker with, please be respectful.

Its a nonprofit organization. Clean and simple. Cant wait to sit outside near the greenhouse.

Great spot for coffee and a snack. We get all of our coffee beans for home here. Its also really nice helping a great charity at the same time.

Our neighborhood is a better place to have this here. The location is awesome and its a fun atmosphere. The coffee is high quality and the food is actually very good as well.

Wonderful place to get coffee and lunch.

Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Get the triple shot red eye, be wide awake for hours..

Nice place for lunch, good soups, and a really good chicken salad!

A great cafe experience. I recommend this to all.

Great place for coffee and bagels

Very cute and artsy. Parking is difficult to find but its very cozy and yummy

Love the relaxed atmosphere, staff could not be more helpful and nice. The coffee was amazing, we had to buy a bag.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Good place to go with friends or alone. Live music.

Comfortable coffee shop, often with live folk music. Great for purchasing ground coffee or beans with proceeds supporting a great cause.

This is the best hidden gem in rochester :) delicious and LOVELY vegetarian options, beautiful outdoor space, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and all nonprofit for a great cause. its my ideal spot and Im so grateful its in rochester!!

A neat and unique place to meet with friends or business associates! Has a variety of seating locations, both indoor and outdoors! Great coffee, great food, and a great cause!

Good coffee. Good music

Great food! Coffee shop for a great cause! Greenhouse in the back! Open Mic/Poetry Thursdays 7-9

This is a wonderful community resource, and the coffee is delicious!

Absolutely awesome. Good vibes and positive environment.

Our band loves this place! Come on down for a great experience.

A+ for the best coffee and the so good. .support recovery and come and enjoy live music too

Good idea yet horrible owner. This Christian minister just cant get it right. She has a motley crew... the few good employees get burned out my all the mismanagement. Broken cooler upstairs hasnt been fixed in a very long time, roaches in the basement kitchen that she hasnt had exterminated, and such issues. instead on running one location really well and making a profit she has several where she robs Peter to pay Paul. Volunteers and employees relapse, steal, and bickering over staff and management duties. She does nothing to empower these women in recovery. Instead she uses them to promote her needs for funds and support to people she has lined up that she feels she can get money out of. Its a Christian ministry hustle to make her look like a Mother Teresa. She got funding but who knows where that went because she was several months behind on her lease and telling paid employees to wait to cash their check! Also she pays them just enough so they still qualify for food stamps. Yet prides her self saying she empowers them. She cant rise them above the level of poverty. Instead she is teaching them to hustle the system and be ever depending on the system. There are never any profits to reinvest into the several café or empower the women who work and volunteer there. Also Joy isnt local... she was brought in to try and revive a failing Pittsford church with her husband. So who knows how long she will stay because she isnt investing in Rochester to her the company is a Hobby she does to try and get Kudos.

A true Oasis, amazing customer service, cant recommend this place enough

Nice cozy place to warm up with coffee. Coffee is better than Starbucks.

Very friendly staff. Coffee and smoothies are quite tasty

Great place, friendly staff, terrific cause!

Great coffee and a place to meet. Menu of bagels, muffins and paninis is modest.

I do like the concept of hiring former female prisoners to give them another chance

Absolutely wonderful. Went there for lunch and the food was great. Cant wait to have lunch there in the summer. Also the local art displayed and available for purchase is a great idea. The decore is tasteful and Amy adds a personal charm that you dont get from other restaurants.

Support local! Tastes good too.

Except for beverages, everything else here is not fresh. They microwave pretty much everything. Not coming back again.

Great music and loved the chai.

Great place, and its awesome that this place is about inspire and empowering to women.

I love this place. The sandwiches and soups are outstanding, and I love the airy space of the old greenhouse.

This is a wonderful, warm gathering place with excellent food and a welcoming environment. This is my new favorite meeting spot!

Great place for poetry on Thursday nights (7pm) great snacks, coffee wi fi and friendly staff.

Nice patio out back. Very community oriented.

Very cool place - great live music, good food, awesome atmosphere, and a fantastic mission and purpose.

Great coffee venue the support local musicians and others in need.

Good. How often do you combine coffee with a greenhouse?

Really unique place friendly barrister, excellent coffee and muffins, and wonderful poetry reading from 8 pm to 10 pm on Thursdays. Going back next week!!!

Great place to meet up with a friend or have some lunch.

Great music on Fridays at lunchtime and the food is delish!

Will put a smile on your face. Enjoy the great organic coffee, read the pamphlet, and empty your wallet in the tip jar.

Nice little cafe, limited tea selection and food items.

Neighborhood coffeehouse in a former florist greenhouse setting. Rustic, comfortable, in seconds youll feel right at home.

Its hit or miss here. But the coffee is decent.

Outstanding service, excellent mochas and vibrant atmosphere of Pure Kona, the longest running open mic in town, where poets, writers, musicians, storytellers and readers aloud find a welcoming and convivial forum to practice their art.

Cute space, delicious cold brew, and a good cause!

Small little gem, good food & beverages, helps local women

A little pricier but it goes towards a good cause.

Went with a friend who has a meeting there tomorrow. Bought coffee mugs, no coffee today.

Very friendly and great prices

Totally unique - great coffee & superb atmosphere!

I went in & waited for close to 10 minutes & no one ever came to the counter??

Very good coffee and nice barista

Great food and coffee in a cozy atmosphere.

Relaxed, coffee, and a snack. Nice.

Great place to relax and enjoy great food and great people.

Excellent music and food

Lovely place that serves a purpose within the community!!!

Great coffee and efficient friendly service.

Wonderful service friendly atmosphere

Food gets microwaved, the paintings have ridiculous pricetags on them and the other customers made it feel like more of a cultist church than a cafe Benue. No thanks.

It is now run by the Coffee Connection. Good food, a unique setting, and a great cause.

Its OK. Friendly staff, but limited menu. GREAT COFFEE

Excellent brew and nice atmosphere.
