New City Cafe & Roastery

New City Cafe is truly Beechwood’s pride and joy, an incredible neighborhood gem that draws people from all across Rochester to enjoy delicious food and an impressive variety of drinks. What makes it especially special is the community you’ll find inside: neighborhood residents, families, visitors, and business professionals gathering for meetings, all sharing the same welcoming space. It’s a beautiful reflection of the diversity, connection, and community that make Beechwood so special.

This is such a cute place, tucked into the neighborhood. The breakfast bowls and pastries are amazing. The cappuccino I had this morning was so good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast spot. They work within the community and they’re just good people.

I went here three times in 2 weeks. Great vibe and nice furniture. Unfortunately, overall I had a bad experience and will not be returning. They have smoke throughout the entire cafe, and have for months/years if you read other reviews here. The food was bad too. I ordered the bowl and it came with burnt eggs and low quality onions and peppers. My partner order a BEC sandwich and the egg was burnt as well. Simple fixes if you ask me. I was going to discuss this with management, but after reading past reviews, its apparent that this is what it is. Also, litter all over the place outside and around their business.

Absolutely love this place. Their lattes are hands down the best I've had - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and you can actually taste the espresso. On top of that, they look amazing every time. The prices are unbeatable, especially for the quality you get. Everyone here is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the food is always fresh. The vibe is great, the music is on point, and it's just an all-around awesome place to be. Truly the best café in Rochester by far. Highly recommend.

Let me start by mentioning New City Cafe & Roastery is definitely unique in hiring young adults from the neighbourhood and giving them the opportunity to learn some skills. What a fantastic ethos! The interior is full of earthy tones which exudes warmth. With cushioned window seating is perfect for reading, people watching, or a good old chinwag with a friend or two. Not only that…there is also a sofa, lots of tables dotted around, a high chair for babies, a coat stand and free WiFi. We ordered the Drip Coffee, Cookie Butter Latte and a Maple Cinnamon Chai which was exceptional! Felt like a lingering hug in a cup. I would highly recommend the Maple Cinnamon Chai. We loved the wide selection of sweeteners such as agave syrup, honey and Stevia. We don’t see many cafes offering the above. The fresh ground coffee had a packed date that indicated when the coffee beans were ground. This is not very common so we were pleasantly surprised. Kane was fabulous. Very smiley and friendly. There is plenty of off street parking.
