This is our go-to spot for locally brewed kombucha! They also offer various food and beverage options and everything I’ve had is delicious! Check them out- you will be glad you did!

I really enjoyed the space it was a low key, laid back, welcoming down to earth environment. It felt very cozy inside. The cold noodle was so delicious it was my first time trying cold noodles and I am in love! The veggie gyoza was okay. . . I wouldn’t order it again. The Shakita espresso was tasty not my usual style of cafe, so I’m sure my bias would affect my rating. Anywho loved the location, loved the service and the atmosphere. I intend to return often

I’ve never been a huge fan of kombucha until now. So much variety to choose from and helpful staff to guide you through each option. The cold sesame noodles, pickled cabbage, and Vegan cheese board were AMAZING and super flavorful. Perfect for a hot summer day. The interior is spacious, and full of greenery. A great space to hang out and enjoy yourself. It’s a bit of a drive for me, but I will be making this a weekly thing for sure.

The kombucha is amazing! I’ve sent my husband back twice to refill my growler since going there for lunch. The vegan burrito is a must try! The staff was so warm and friendly. A definite gem!

Amazing, authentic kombucha! Great variety and love that they offer so much more (food, other beverages, etc.). The fresh, local kombucha is unlike the ones you can purchase in grocery stores – so much better tasting and better for you! Staff are always friendly and very helpful too!

I always enjoy popping in to Happy Gut, whether it’s for a beverage, a treat or a quick bite to eat. The employees are super friendly, and take the time to greet their many regulars by name. Stopping here is like visiting friends, and this genuine interest in their customers is part of what makes this business stand out from other cafes. Kudos for spending the time to make each customer feel valued!

Interesting place! Stopped here to try some coffee & the layout / general atmosphere is wonderful. Love the plants everywhere.
Coffee was decent, but I’ll be super interested to come back & try some of the teas next time!

Everything here is always top notch. You can expect a welcoming atmosphere full of plants and good vibes and incredible service from the baristas and owners. You’ll always get great beverages and food made with love and quality ingredients.
The shop not only sources many items locally, but they also share many products made by local artists/artisans and host events benefitting local organizations and the community at large.
Happy Gut Sanctuary is a real blessing in the Rochester community

Happy Gut is a common lunch spot given that our office is right in the High Falls region. So far everything I’ve had there has been delicious, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable of their drinks and food.
However, the reason for my review is the current drink special called “Fireside Cider” … It is absolutely fantastic.
If you like hot apple cider with a slight burn and kick at the end, this drink is for you. Local cider mixed with fresh squeezed ginger and lemon juice, some cinnamon and topped off with a hint of black pepper makes every sip full of flavor with a toasty finish.
I’d drink this thing every day. Great work!!
