Clownboy Coffee Rochester Reviews
IM OBSESSED! Its so cute and quaint in here. The person working was super nice, the matcha was super good, and the cherry jam pastry was TO DIE FOR. Like i dreamt about it. if i lived closer id come every day. there was also a small selection of trinkets and books that were really neat! And i really appreciated the single stall bathroom. overall the vibes were unbeatable and i felt very safe in there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Wonderful place in all ways! Great coffee, creative specialty drinks, and a very friendly owner who recommends movies worth watching. What more could someone ask for?
Small, cute and cozy. About the size of my living room with About 3 very small tables. You can park in front of the business. It is literally right across the street from Salvatores.
Great way to start our day. We had seasonal coffees and they were so yummy! The person working was so kind as well. We will absolutely be back.
Really cute and quaint coffee shop! The iced americano and the Skully were really good!
The house made syrups are so good and I love the bright colored interior. Service is so friendly. A really nice addition to the coffee scene!
Amazing queer local coffee shop! Owned by a super sweet couple. The drinks are moderately priced based on the average cafes in the area, great flavor and quality! Another plus, local art and stickers
such a fun, funky, safe, and welcoming space!! you can tell from the minute you walk in that there was so so so much love put into this coffee shop!! i’ve tried a couple of drinks and pastries on the menu but my favorites are the summerboy lemonade and the raspberry tart!! a must visit place!! my gf and i have been there at least 7 times in the couple weeks they’ve been open. go show riley some love🩷🩷🩷
Fantastic espresso! I love that it is a completely vegan shop, takes the hassle out of everything. And the pastries are delicious! If I lived a little closer, I would come every day!
Lovely little local coffee shop. It’s nice having a place to grab coffee within walking distance and the coffee is delicious to boot. Definitely hoping they continue to succeed to and grow.

Best coffee shop in the city! Fun menu and there's always new creative drinks each month where a portion is donated locally. Owners are super sweet and everything is vegan.
Cute, small shop with very good espresso! Pricing pretty competitive with the other shops in the area. My only "complaint" is I hate the paper straws so I wish they had sipper lids for iced drinks so there was no need for the straw.
Hands down favorite coffee shop!! The drinks and pastries are delicious. The owners are incredibly kind and really care about their community!!
Cute little cafe, amazing coffee and pastries. I especially liked their muffins. Good quiet music, and a cool selection of small artists work!
Love Clownboy so much! The vibe is immaculate and the coffee is delicious. Support local!
Incredible drinks, great pastries, and wonderful people. You automatically feel like a close friend when you walk in. And their coffee is so darn good. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood!
Every time I go to Clownboy, I wish it was closer to where I work or live, but that's more of a me problem. My most recent visit sealed the deal on why I need to just make the trip periodically. This is a fully vegan coffee shop. I am not vegan but I am lactose intolerant so it's a treat to order from a menu with reckless abandon and not having to worry whether my coffee would be better with traditional milk. I think Clownboy is on par with many of the local coffee shops in the area quality-wise. I believe they make many (if not all) of their syrups in house, which is greatly enjoyed and appreciated. My personal favorite is the Dale Cooper, a cold brew with fig and walnut bitters. It's not sweet and has a subtle almost smoky finish. It's sophisticated and reminds me of a cocktail in a way. I have dabbled with a few other drinks on the menu and enjoyed them as well, but the Dale Cooper is my jam. The vibe in the cafe is great. It's fun, welcoming and colorful. Local artists have work displayed for sale. I am more of a grab and go coffee drinker by default, but I could totally see myself chilling here for a while if the mood struck. There are a few very small things I wish were different (limited seating, street parking), but on a nice day, I don't mind a little walk and a coffee to go.
Always glad to try a new local shop and love it. Clownboy is an all vegan coffee shop. As a recently dairy free person I was glad to support. I had the seasonal special, plum latte that balanced sweetness and boldness of the coffee. They have multiple selections of vegan pastries, packaged and freshly delivered. Can't wait to go back and try something new.
Love this coffee shop!!! Great vibes inside with beautiful art on the walls, plus an array of clown-themed & other cute merch for sale. Their coffee is so good and they always have some unique themed drinks. One of my favs in Rochester :)
Has been my local coffee spot for the past year & I have LOVED everything I have ever purchased here. Owner is friendly, personable, & timely. Never lacking in fun & new ingredients in their coffees. A very clean environment, inviting, & inclusive. A perfect coffee shop❤️

A cute stop for anyone in the area! Wonderfully inclusive and friendly service. Great specialty drinks too. Easy to relax inside or take your coffee to go!
What a super terrific shop. Really personable owner on site, who answered all my questions, was very welcoming and professional. Great baked goods from Black Cat Bakery, delicious iced London Fog, a dynamic on-site art gallery, and erudite conversation with other customers.

Cute little neighborhood coffee shop in the North Winton Village. Loved the artwork and bright colors + tasty vegan options galore. The strawberry matcha latte is divine. I was pleasantly surprised by how natural it tasted - and not overly sweet. Will definitely be back!
I was so happy they had the little brownie cookies there! Very interesting flavor combos which I loved to see. I wish they had regular milk. There's only almond or oat milk. Can't wait to go back and try more flavors!

I tried a blackberry basil coffee drink & my friend tried the “Sugar in the Tank”. She didn’t like hers at all and didn’t finish it, I thought mine was alright. Nothing special in my opinion, but the flavors they offer are definitely interesting! The space has very limited seating as well
