Localist Coffee

Phenomenal coffee, right vibes. Great place to get work done or have a conversation. Andrew knows his coffee and makes amazing specialty drinks.

A friend tipped me off to this place (knowing that I’m a coffee snob) and it’s quickly become my favorite coffee shop in Rochester. A few highlights:
1. Coffee is amazing. Whether it’s a standard cappuccino or a flavored latte, the drinks are excellent.
2. The white pizza with prosciutto and chili oil is so delicious.
3. The avocado toast is unlike any other that I’ve had and brings a great balance of flavors (again with the chili oil… so good)
4. The Orangechata is also one of the best variations of a horchata I’ve ever had.
5. Plenty of outdoor seating and a great vibe indoors.
6. It’s inside a large church building so there’s plenty of parking.

Had the day off and found this place randomly, not far from my house. My iced latte was to die for! This place was very quiet with an inviting ambience. I am so happy to know something like this is on the west side of town. I will be revisiting. :-) Thank you!

This is my favorite cafe in Rochester.
Hands down. The vibes of the cafe are fantastic, the house made syrups are so good, the intentionality of the coffee is unmatched, and the owners (Andrew and Eleena) are the sweetest people.
My wife and I really enjoy our visits here.

Beautiful space and really nice staff. They also had a very unique coffee brewing system that made for a GREAT cup of coffee. Highly recommend.

Beautiful space and a fun menu as well
