Hydra Coffeehouse 701 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607

"My friend suggested we try this new coffee place and it was incredible! Their selections of coffees and baked goods were very unique. I ordered a Brown Sugar Rosemary latte with oat milk and it was perfectly not overly sweet. My friend ordered a cappuccino and a broccoli hand pie which she enjoyed. The decor is clean, artistically modern and cozy- the perfect spot to catch up with a friend. I highly recommend!"

"I really enjoyed this coffee shop! The environment was super cute and cozy. It is a great place to meet friends and spend some time there. As a student I would love doing homework there. I got a hazelnut latte that I enjoyed and I loved the latte art. The parking lot is shared with Dog Town and when I went parking was quite limited. However, there is on street parking if the lot fills up."

"Such a cute spot, love the multiple types of seating to choose from and all the natural light. Coffee was delicious!! Excellent bean quality. The vegetarian quiche (sweet potato/sage/cheese) was fab. Lemon pound cake had great flavor though a bit dry (tbf, it was an end piece). I tried the spiced coffee cake muffin on a separate occasion and it was too dry. Will continue to try the baked goods to see if they improve over time! Can get very busy at peak times on the weekend—I bet they could fit a few more tables (one downstairs, maybe two small tables upstairs). It was difficult to cut the quiche with the plastic fork—hoping they can get real cutlery soon. Looking forward to seeing how the space develops!! Free WiFi available. A few outlets available too."

"This is a hidden gem! The inside is so cozy and warm and full of plants. The menu has something for everyone. They have one size of most drinks which makes ordering easy but my latte was so good I wanted a bigger size. The deserts and food look great! I can't wait to go back and try them. They have paper straws with the Rochester flower on them. The staff was so friendly and my latte came our super quick! I can't wait to go back."

"Excellent place for a great cup of coffee. It's nothing like the chain coffee shops. Amazing service. I had an orange Cranberry scone. I got lucky they had come out of the oven & I had it with no glaze, which I love a scone that way. Had a decaf cappuccino with oat milk. It was an amazing, great flavor. Well worth the visit and great place to meet friends."
