Barista is super nice, WiFi is the fastest of any coffeeshop I checked, and I love the atmosphere. Haven't tried the food recently, but I'm sure I will soon. Added bonus: run across the street for a drink at Cav's after a long day of coffee and studying :) --["Users/LauraShum"]

Nice and open, never too crowded, and delicious coffee, tea and food. I've only been coming here for a short while, but each time is nice. I come to sit, read, and enjoy a coffee. The baristas are very friendly. Occasionally the music is a bit on the loud side, and the atmosphere may not be as hip as Boulder or Java's, but overall, it is a very comfortable place to be. I will be returning often. --["Users/TonyFolenta"]

I ordered a dry vanilla, almond cappuccino and when I went to pick it up he quickly apologized and said he meant to make it dry but made it on the wet side. Of course it is no problem with a little mix up like that and told him so. But even so he came and gave me a free drink coupon. I was flabbergasted. It was so thoughtful of him and everyone likes free drinks! They have phenomenal food that is different but not different enough to put you off from getting it and enjoying it; such as the jumbo wasabi roast beef wrap I am chomping on. The WiFi is fast and the ambiance is perfect. I think I am in love. The last thing to mention is I have never had a bad experience, I haven't gone too often but at random times at different times of the day the baristas are very friendly. They cater to your needs and bring things out to you if you don't hear them call it out, which is a unusual thing in Rochester. J'aime Equal Grounds. --["Users/aurorasmith"]

I see a lot of these "I'm straight and people were rude to me" comments on this and other LGBT related establishment pages and have a hard time imagining what the circumstances were. How did the person who was rude to you even know you were straight? Just because you were two people of the opposite sex getting coffee together? Were you conspicuously making out while waiting in line? MandaHunt, please don't be afraid to check the place out... there is no alarm at the door that goes off whenever a straight person enters so that everyone inside can target them for rude behavior. Like a Starbucks employee has never been rude to anyone, jeez. --["Users/bmr"]

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.
