The Dalai Java

Full transparency of this stellar review point blank I am biased for these reasons: This establishment possesses a tuned piano that they welcome the public to play and flow with. Which means they allowed me to get my feet wet which was so welcoming and thoughtful. The thing is in Rochester I won’t name names for the sake of the establishment’s reputation they don’t want people to play and they will say under some false guise of not having an entertainment license or there is no event planned for the day. BS liars and demeaning. The tomato soup and grilled cheese combo is worth it super into it, definitely made with love, ie not campbell’s soup

I have been coming here frequently as of late due to the warm atmosphere and amazing food and drinks! I come with my partner and we always love the variety of seating options (couches, tables, cushioned chairs, etc.). The staff is always very friendly and efficient, and the food and drinks always hit the spot. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice quiet morning meal.

There was a limited food menu & we had to ask for descriptions for each item, but I am so glad we decided to stay. The coffee was delicious, and I love having the "real mug" option! The avocado toast with an egg was amazing! The toast was excellent. I wanted to take a loaf home. My daughter enjoyed her breakfast burrito as well. Fantastic cooking, chef!

Very fun and eclectic coffee shop and roaster. Truly enjoy that they roast their own coffee, creating uniquly individual flavor. Good food , great staff and just a fun place to socialize with friends. Can't wait to come back.

Probably the best turkey wrap and sandwich we’ve ever had! Very fresh food and amazing lattes. Fast WiFi and many tables with plugs to work. Non distracting background music.
