2007-03-26 15:06:35 Nice place, has wifi (what coffeehouse doesn't?), very roomy, would go again. —TravisOwens
2007-03-26 15:10:19 Never been in here, but everytime I walk by the coffee smells good and I see people eating yummy pastries. —KimBee
2007-04-08 19:27:00 The atmosphere there is fantastic and the (all vegetarian) wraps are delicious. I spend a couple evenings a week there just enjoying the ambience and writing.
2008-01-07 18:56:38 I've been reluctantly staying away . . . because I'm on a diet and the delectable smoothies and desserts were, and are, a sore temptation! —LindaLevitan
2008-01-20 10:38:40 My wife and I went in this place yesterday. The coffee was fantastic and the guy working the counter was really nice. He mentioned music on Friday nights. It's a great place with cool stuff to look at. —BigPun
2008-02-11 11:50:20 We came here on friday night for desserts and coffee and had a great time listening to live music. It's a great atmosphere, and all of our drinks came in great big mugs, which was a nice touch. I live near here, and it seems to be busier in the summer, but I was sad that it seemed so empty the night we were there. —SaraChristine
2008-12-18 10:32:33 We just started going here. This is th best latte in Rochester and the sweets are great. Service is very friendly and the atmosphere/decor reminds me of NYC. There are always people there so it has a sense of life to it but its never too crowded. This is a great place. —JamesPatrick
2009-05-19 18:57:12 I love this place to death, the coffee and food are great, but the staff can sometimes be rude. Perhaps I just chose the wrong days to go there holding hands with my heterosexual boyfriend, but because it advertises itself as an open-minded place, I didn't think there would be a problem with two straight supporters of the LGBT community showing up for some coffee.
But on the other hand, I've experienced some very nice staff here as well. It's a hit-and-miss. —mollymd
2009-05-19 20:01:29 Molly - My wife and I visited a few times after my first comment and we noticed the same rudeness from the staff and some patrons made it clear one night that we weren't welcome either. We stopped going. I'm cool if people want their own thing. I misunderstood about dogs and cats and getting along. —BigPun
2009-06-07 12:16:07 They have amazing chai and smoothies. I love the atmosphere, it's never packed so you can hear yourself think. I've brought my laptop many times and have done my homework while sipping a chai. EG is one of my favorite spots in the city.
MollyMd and BigPun, I'm really sorry to hear you guys had a negative experience there. I've never seen or experienced any rudeness from the staff or patrons. —jessypeters
