So it depends on the location you stop at, the one in the southwedge is super great, they do all the roasting there in the shop, the coffee is wonderful and the people are fantastic. However it is small which can discourage those who like to find a corner somewhere and get work done for hours on end. If you go to the winton village location though this place is expansive and very charming. They have a greenhouse out back where they grow some of the veggies used in their food. The rest they source from the public market. The greenhouse cafe is a super great place to get quiet time to just sit and think or plow through some backlog. Both use their own roasted coffee which they source sustainably. They work with small farmers to get the best fresh, organic, and fair trade beans. They also employ women in recovery programs, giving them employment that empowers them. I think this place has the right idea and is a gem in the Rochester community.

I met here with a friend and I am just not a coffee drinker really, it they had this iced vanilla chocolate latte that was freaking awesome AND cheap! Plus the company has a great cause so it was a win win for me. Parking is right out front and at 9 am there was ample parking. We sat there and talked for hours and no one looked at us funny, and everyone had a great attitude and customer service etiquette. If I have another coffee meeting, I would definitely choose here. Did seem cluttered though, so for management I would tell them to cut back on all the different items that were all over the place, but thats just me. Some people might like to shop for little random knick knacks and books and sandals while getting coffee.

I want to match what Erika Russo just said...wow. What an amazing experience it was indeed. The people there were so friendly and so knowledgeable about everything in that store. From custom making your special drink or the beautiful hand woven wool articles of clothing and so much more they were extremely helpful. Lastly, I have had coffee from local roasters around Rochester for a decade and this place by far has the best tasting beans in my book. Peruvian coffee at its finest. Purchased by many restaurants, cafes and other establishments in the area. The best cup of Rochester coffee I have had thus far. Thank you to everyone at the coffee connection. I cant wait to check out your other locations!

What a great business. Providing an workplace, support, and empowerment to women in recovery. That and the coffee is really solid. Roasted on site, responsibly sourced, and a whole host of "to go" coffees as well. In addition there are some of the usual coffee shop artsy fair too. All and all a great place!

What an amazing experience. They are a non for profit helping women who are recovering. Nicest staff I have ever encountered and I got these amazing shoes! I will be back and recommend your establishment every time!!!

Service here isnt the greatest, I attempted to order a hazelnut latte with less flavor syrup and ended up with steamed milk and lots of hazelnut flavoring. I will walk the extra block to equal grounds in the future.

Good hot and frozen coffees, desserts, and smoothies. Relaxing shop with indoor and outdoor seating, service a little slow but staff very pleasant. Positive mission makes spending here feel even nicer.

The coffee is ok, but the espresso not at the same level as Glen Edith, Joe Beans or Meraki (down the road). I like the atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and its a nice place for a sip with friends.

Best coffee in Rochester. Roasted in house, carefully and ethically sourced, and the price is still right (less than three bucks for an iced coffee). Plus it has a good social mission.

Incredible coffee brewed in-house. Super nice ladies running the place too. Great to stop by but not as enjoyable a place to just sit and relax.
