My first time at Hydra and I loved it. Great atmosphere, outdoor dining option. Wonderful friendly and professional staff. I got an affogato. Vanilla gelato drowned in hot espresso!

everything you'd want in a nice little coffee shop, parking, good pastries, excellent beans (very), cool staff. Visiting from out of town so this was a lucky win in what seems to be "hit or miss" Rochester.

Hands down the best espresso in town! :D You can really taste the quality of the Joe Bean coffee they use. I also tried their cold brew and it was just as impressive, smooth, bold, and refreshing. The place is cozy and welcoming, and the barista was so nice and friendly. Great spot for coffee lovers! ;)

Fantastic coffee house that serves a good choice of hot drinks and a yummy selection of pies, quiches and baked goods. We ordered the Gluten free Coconut Cream Pie that was absolutely delicious. Chai latte and Sunup Coffee were good. The fabulous artwork dotted around the cafe is for sale too. Extra seating is available upstairs. Bathroom was immaculate. Parking was a tad squishy.

Went for the cute latte art and was not disappointed. The vide was so cute. And the food was really good too. They all do home made syrup for coffees and teas and they were very good as well.

The Bear housemade syrup (honey, cinnamon, cardamom) in a hot oatmilk latte was SOO good, and the gluten free lemon raspberry cookie was surprisingly so so good like I couldn’t tell it was gluten free and the icing was delicious. They have some really good sounding housemade flavors, plus several lovely looking pastries. The inside is beautiful with lots of plants and a variety of seating, including a cozy upstairs. There is free WiFi and some outlets as well. People use the space for meetings so there’s often a bit of a buzz but it’s great to have a space with ample comfortable seating where you can wear headphones and get work done or whatever. The bananas foster syrup was also so good in a latte and the blackberry raspberry jam bar was delightfully tart.

Went there a few weeks ago while in Rochester! My sisters and I liked everything we got. Seating is limited but we got lucky and came at a good time. Parking is iffy though. Very pleased they had WiFi so we could get some work done! Many of the nearby Cafe’s do not have WiFi which is quite unfortunate but will guarantee me to come back to Hydra CoffeeHouse! Service was excellent!

I love the vibe here and the coffee is excellent. Just stopped by for some coffee. I really enjoyed their Brown Sugar Rosemary Latte with an Everything Scone today. On my third or fourth visit since discovering them. Excellent service. Speedy service. I’ll be back!

Visiting from out of town and saw the good reviews. The food and coffee were delicious, with fantastic service and a delightful atmosphere! I loved the house made brown sugar rosemary flavoring! Very reasonable pricing as well. Definitely recommend!

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.

Drip coffee- yum! Espresso- excellent!! This place has great coffee and is beautifully cozy. The only thing I experienced that needs work is the citrus scone. It was chewy and served cold. Flavor was good, but the texture and temp were all wrong.

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.
