Boulder Coffee debuted in July, 2005 to answer the need for coffee and community in the South Wedge neighborhood in Rochester, NY.
Since then, Boulder has evolved and grown to be a hub of community and connection. We pride ourselves on our locally roasted coffee beans, community artist space, and eclectic, cozy atmosphere.
Every time you buy a cup of coffee or lunch from Boulder, you are writing yourself into our story. Thank you for shopping local, and being a part of our commitment to growth.
Hip cafe & lounge featuring coffee, cocktails & sandwiches, plus live music, in a funky setting.

Great decor, crazy cool environment, non stop opportunity for new friendships and fellowship. Coffee is great, food is fresh, price is inline with the quality, and staff is accommodating and polite. Owner works on site and is absolutely involved with the exceptional customer experience. Best place to buy fresh roasted beans for your home coffee bar “on the days it’s too snowy to leave the house for your favorite place to unwind”.

First time in and it has such a cool vibe. We wanted an afternoon pick-me-up. I ordered the Jack Rabbit which has Black Button Bourbon Cream in the coffee- really tasty and the temp was hot enough but not scalding. Husband had a cappuccino which he really enjoyed. We intend to return for some food -just weren’t hungry this time in. A band was setting up as we finished- if we had time we would have stayed.

We came here for breakfast and were not disappointed at all, not just for their tasty food but also the friendly staff and atmosphere.
We ordered lattes and breakfast sandwiches which were great, the price was just right.
Another thing that caught our attention wad that they have Art on their walls for sale as well as some souvenirs from local artist.
There is also an ATM inside just in case this information is helpful.
Parking available right outside.

Love, love this place.
Went to Rochester with extended family for the birth of my Nephew’s son. We came upon this lovely cafe. Love everything about it. Best latte ever!! The lighting is perfect for photos. Great service. Great food but best of all was the price.
I wish there was a place like this where I live!!!!

Anna, Beth, and all the staff here are just absolutely lovely! Very friendly and willing to work with dietary restrictions. The breakfast burrito is my absolute favorite and makes a great breakfast before work. Boulder has become an essential part of my morning routine! Highly recommend making it part of yours too. And be sure to check out the art on the walls and the trinkets and prints from local vendors!

Genuinely one of my favorite places on earth. Sadly I do not live in Rochester anymore, but I am here visiting, and I have the privilege of coming back to Boulder this week. I miss Boulder all the time.

Parking is very difficult. Only 2 people working the counter and a line of 10+ people. 2 ladies left when line wasn’t moving. Very noisy. I had Jamaican me crazy flavored coffee and it wasn’t the best of had.

We are on a continuous search for great local cafés. This is the gem that sets the bar for Rochester.
Very relaxed ambience. Local students working on their laptops. Small families enjoying food. Couples and friends chatting over coffee. They support local businesses. We came on a Saturday afternoon, when students from RIT were given tables to show and sell their art in a non intrusive way.
Coffee is really fantastic. I had an Americano, with their Espresso Blend. Roast master told me he does the sourcing, blending and roasting. This one had Ethiopian and Colombian beans. Fabulous blend of earthy and chocolate tones. I bought a pound to prepare with my French Press at hotel and the roaster grinded it to a perfect coarse. Side note: please never drink coffee from those hotel room machines. You can always do better!
Come, have a coffee, have lunch, buy beans or ground coffee for your enjoyment at home. This is the type of place that makes café lovers feel right at home, even when traveling.

Place seemed cool until I stood in line for 5 mins, both girls looked at me, and said nothing. No hi, no be right with you, sorry for the wait. Went to the bathroom to kill time and it’s gross in there. Had to hold the toilet seat up in order to use it because it kept falling. Went back to the register and the same thing. Place is understaffed and gross. Teach your workers how to acknowledge the customer. This was at 10am on a Monday.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Excellent cafe to mingle, work, and have a great brunch with colleagues or family or by yourself 🙂 Amazing atmosphere. Always friendly and welcoming. I love coming here every time I have the chance. They make my day better P.S I recommend the soup (I had broccoli and cheddar) and the Cobs Hill Cajun chicken sandwich. Sorry no picture, I guess I ate it too fast.
