Empire Coffee & Donuts

Had a great time. Ordered 2 coffee drinks and tried some of their donuts. The donuts were delicious, and the flavors were very creative. The coffee was also delicious, and they had some fun options for drinks as well. Love supporting local!

I love it here it is amazing! Kind friendly relaxing atmosphere with excellent doughnuts and I had the Salted Caramel Latte I loved it !! Thank you for being an inclusive amazing small business!!

I love to come here after school and enjoy a delicious latte and a wonderfully baked donut. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing while having so many things to offer. Just had my first wrap with soup, did not disappoint whatsoever.

Empire Coffee & Donuts is the best. The atmosphere is cozy and homey, and they make it clear that everyone is welcome. A whole shelf of board games?? Yes please! The staff is helpful and kind, and the drinks and pastries are wonderful—they have creative and affordable drinks for coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike! I love their matcha latte with lavender syrup. As a student, I really appreciate the longer hours and the selection of meal options for long study sessions (highly recommend the breakfast tacos). Empire is such a lovely and unique space, definitely give it a try!

I have been going to Empire almost every day before work, it has become part of my every day routine. The coffee is the best I've had in the Geneva area and all of the soups, salads, and sandwiches I have tried have been delicious. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, as well as inclusive. Dan always does service with a smile and even when there is a long line during a rush it has always been well worth the wait. Long story short, I love this place.

I'm a regular at this coffee shop. The food and drinks are always great. They now have donuts, which are fantastic. Moreover, the owners are great local people who are welcoming and want the coffee shop to be a place where everyone is welcome. No agendas here, just a fun place with great people and great coffee (and donuts!)

The employee was extremely friendly. The coffee I got is great. I really enjoyed atmosphere, I definitely can see spending quite a while there playing board games, reading, doing work etc. Also the hours are great.

Stopped by for the complimentary donut on 12/23/23. Had the donut with icing and sprinkles. Icing was really good, had the perfect consistency; not too thin or thick, sweet and sugary- how I like it. Donut was crunchy which surprised me but then remembered it was fried. Overall, it was very filling and I look forward to my next visit. Also, I appreciate the location because I don't have to go down Hamilton St. for a treat.

A great cafe for friends to connect! They have fun theme nights and are very accommodating with decaf options. They also add flavor to beverages with higher quality milkshake syrups. AND they serve local Worker's Ransom Honey! 🐝💛🍯

It may be a bit miss leading, because they had no donuts. The service is Great. I'm very specific with my strong coffee and they nailed. Great vibes and atmosphere. Made me forgot all about the donuts. Will definitely be coming back.

I’m so happy to have this business in Geneva! It is evident that the owner took a lot of time to curate the space to feel welcoming, and homey. The service is always good and they are happy to serve you and answer any questions you may have. An added bonus is that they are open late! Can’t recommend this place enough!

The coffee is fantastic. There is a growing amount of baked goods. Coffee ice cubes in cold drinks are my favorite. Always a nice welcome and friendly service. Be patient if there is a line. The coffee is worth the wait.

Came for the coffee, stayed because Rob O'Dell wont come in because he's a snowflake triggered by rainbows.

These folks are so kind and have poured everything into this place. I try to come in any chance I get. Aside from coffee, the store offers a place to play great board games, staff are eager to help teach the games they have, and you will always feel like a regular whether its your first trip or your 1000th.

If being inclusive and kind costs a little dip in a google rating, then a perfect 5 star review is overrated. Imagine going out of your way to fake reviews on places with a subtle support of the LGBTQ community. Absolutely pathetic.

Long live Empire Coffee <3

10/10 customer service. There is no better place in Geneva for a nice coffee and a "Rob O'dell" free atmosphere.

These people are providing a real community hub for the area and no amount of small minded bigotry will hinder that. I cant imagine taking time to use fake pictures of a shop to right a nasty review. Grow up Rob, us regulars of Empire dont want you there either :)

This is a new spot for us and we love their coffee. Their grilled bagels are delicious too. Hoping we can go back for one of their events like a game night or vinyl record night.

By far the best coffee shop in town. I'd venture to say the best in the Finger Lakes Region. The atmosphere is welcoming for all ages. The coffee is absolutely delicious. The food offerings pair so well with their beverage selection. And if that wasn't enough, the owner is kind, attentive, and a genuinely awesome human. He always has a smile and is more than happy to engage in conversation. Super excited about the future of this wonderful place!!

The Blueberry donut with lemon icing was the best donut I have ever had. The staff was great and the vibe was super chill.

We stopped for coffee, stayed for lunch, and left well pleased! The coffee drinks we ordered were large and flavorful, the sandwiches were fresh and tasty, and we loved the fruit instead of chips option! Empire's chill atmosphere, good vibes and friendly owners (and prices!) are more reasons to go back. P.S.: We were also happy to find out they are open all day when most coffee shops close at 2pm.

I got the breakfast tacos and they were yum and very generous size. The coffee is also quite tasty. The atmosphere felt like home.

The coffee is good, local, well-priced, and there's lots of variety. There's more variety in flavored syrups than you would ever want for coffee because they're also for NOLA style shaved ice. The bagels were good. There's a variety of food options already and donuts coming. All of that is great, but the real gems here are the warm personality that greets you, the friendly and inviting environment that encourages you to hang out with games and music and a variety of seating options, and a bunch of fun theme nights meant to encourage community growth. This is a place to frequent for sure.
