Spot Coffee
Located in Rochester, New York's East End, Spot Coffee can be found in the former Hallman Chevrolet building on the corner of East Avenue and Matthews Street. The unique location provides a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, whether you visit Spot for lunch meetings, hanging out with friends, or an interesting place to work.
Spot features a large wrap-around coffee bar in the center of the first floor, with coffee drinks, desserts, and a sandwich menu available. Tables of all sizes are available, from smaller two-tops along the windows to larger tables perfect for meetings. A large curtained area is located along one wall with comfortable couches for more privacy, and a smaller seating area is along the opposite wall, as long as tables along the rail on the second floor. During nice weather, Spot also has outside seating available.
For those looking for a place to work, Spot offers free WiFi connectivity. It isn't unusual to visit on a weeknight and see a mixture of customers, from college students from the nearby University of Rochester and Eastman School of Music, to suited executives at an after-hours meeting, to visitors looking for a great cup of coffee and more interesting place to break out the laptop. The coffee is excellent, with a large variety of coffee and tea drinks available as well as other choices, and the desserts are delicious and generously sized. My companion and I didn't get a chance to sample the other offerings, but several students appeared to be dinner regulars.
Spot is within walking distance of several Rochester attractions, including the Eastman Theatre and Little Theater. On-street parking surrounds Spot, and a parking lot is located across Matthews Street for a reasonable fee. Hours vary, so it may be advisable to call to check earlier in the day or later at night to verify opening and closing times.
