Equal Grounds (Closed Temporarily)

nice place to go if you're feelin' low!

Equal grounds is hip, lively and accepting of everybody. Two large rooms, changing artwork on the walls, funky atmosphere. This is a good place to go if you're feeling low and just want to see and hear people around you. The coffee is watery, but it seems that's true all over rochester--odd for a city with so many italians. There are a few tables outside on South Avenue. 666 bar, which is mixed and has a similar friendly hip vibe, is a block and a half north on south. You can walk south on south to the highland park arboretum if you feel energetic.

great place to relax with friends

great, low-key neighborhood coffee house to meet up with friends and hang out. Don't drink coffee, but LOVE the pomegranete-grape concoction with whipped cream.

My favorite coffee house

This place has great customer service and a great atmosphere. Great coffee and frappes. I recommend it.
