Rochester Brewing and Roasting Company

I've been to a small number of coffee shop/brewery hybrids and...they usually struggle. Often they end up a jack-of-all-trades-and-master-of-none.I can't comment on the coffee here but, when I visited around noon, it was much more in "coffee shop mode" than "brewery mode" and there was a massive line. I'm assuming the coffee is good.I was here for the beer though. I got a thiolized IPA (thiolized beers are my favorite to brew, but you almost never see them brewed commercially!) and it had a juicy tropical *sparkle* to it. It was fantastic.I'd love to visit again when they are more in "brewery mode".

I think Rochester is so underrated especially for beer. Parking can be a bit tricky but it's worth it to circle the block a few times or to take a little walk. The interior is huge. Like tons of space and plenty of seating. In the summer, you can even sit outside. The service is always great, friendly, and efficient. They offer lots of different beer on tap. My favorites are the coffee stouts, or any other stout they happen to have. The sours are also great. I recently had a wonderful peach cobbler sour. They do offer 4 packs to go. I primarily come here for the beer but I've gotten coffee and pastries too. The coffee is always delicious and they have seasonal offerings that are fun. They also have bags of coffee that you can take home. The pastries are also great and it's fun to pair them with beer or coffee. Definitely check them out!

We love this place! We probably go once a week. Nothing like going somewhere that starts your day with coffee and ends it with beer or an espresso martini. The staff are amazing, the drinks are delicious and the vibe is great too. Definitely recommend!

KC peeps I found a gem off the Boulevard.Welcome to Rochester Brewing & Roasting CoA cute little spot that's not just a roastery, but also a beer brewery! Not to mention the food. I am a lunch girl so I had the spicy chicken bacon aioli. The flavor was amazing. A pressed sandwich perfection! My friend was ready for breakfast and had a breakfast burrito with a French toast latte that she loved. I love a food place that serves breakfast & lunch all day. Great layout and fun community spot for people to come together and be creative. As their website states 'Gather together here to work, study, learn and play.' Day or night they have a seat for you. And if it is a gorgeous day be sure to sit out front at one of the picnic tables.

I love this place. It's a great spot to spend a long working lunch over 7 or 8 beers before catching an Uber back to the office. You won't regret it. The beer here is fabulous with options galore for every discerning palate. I haven't tried them all yet but judging from from the ones I have, there must be a brigade of fourteenth century Belgian monks in the back room brewing up delicious nectars as an homage to God. If, strangely, you choose not to imbibe during your working day, they will go ahead and roast their own coffee for you and serve up whatever caffeinated concoction you desire. The space is fairly large and wide open. Plenty of space for you and your laptop if you want to look like you're being functional while watching those awesome TikTok cat videos. The only downside is the giant wall of windows at the front. For a couple of hours every late afternoon, the seating area is bathed in majestic sunlight. Maybe not what you want, say, if you just read Macbeth and your outlook is currently dour. But, what is done is done. The servers are all super friendly, quick with a smile and a tasting sample. I will be quick to return.

I stopped in here recently to have a meeting, get some work done, and try out their coffee. Overall, I was pleased with my decision to work from Rochester - it's a massive space so there is ample seating. The iced coffee I had was pretty par for the course. Nothing really notable to bring me back, but it was tasty and checked all the boxes. Next time I stop in I might opt for something more seasonal to see how those offerings compare to other local spots. I'd also like to return to try their beer - the space is really cavernous and I feel like it might be more fun to hang out here when it's filled with folks and has more of a bar like atmosphere. It was a little cold feeling, for my taste if I'm going to hunker down and work for a while, but I think it would suit a tasting room perfectly.

Great service and plenty of space to work or chat with friends. Prices as expected. Plenty of street parking available

Great place to grab coffee, sweets, and breakfast. Larger open seating area. I even saw a sofa. Service was good. I had the latte, it was smooth and pleasant. The breakfast items look delish. Recommend if you're looking for coffee or breakfast.

The customer service here was phenomenal. The folks that greeted us were so kind and immediately offered to let us try beers. The ambiance is cozy and creative with it being inside a train car. I will absolutely be back!

Whether you prefer coffee or beer this is a great place to work, study, hang with friends, grab a bakery treat, or watch a game, this is a great spot to check out.Needed a sweet treat so I headed back Sunday. Went with the cinnamon roll but it was so hard to choose. I highly recommend d the cinnamon roll.
