Union Place Coffee Roasters
900 Jefferson Rd Building 9, Rochester, NY
Crema's Take
“Union Place is a serious roastery run by coffee enthusiasts who roast their own beans on-site and dial in every drink with real precision, whether you're ordering a traditional espresso or a meticulously prepared pour over. The industrial-chic space somehow feels surprisingly intimate despite its soaring ceilings, creating the perfect quiet refuge for a long work session or unhurried conversation over excellent pastries. The staff genuinely know their craft and treat customers like fellow coffee lovers rather than transactions, making it clear this is the kind of place where coffee quality and hospitality go hand in hand.”

Real coffee people making real coffee, really well. They roast their own and have a great variety of beans as well as drinks and pastries ready to go. Nice place, friendly staff.
Despite the tremendous height of the ceiling, Union Place still manages to feel inviting. The interior is warm, well lit and clean. They have a huge selection of coffee beans, coffee makers, coffee syrups, accessories, honey, teas as well as bakery items. The seating consists of tables/chairs armchairs and a rocking chair. Local art is displayed to purchase. The staff are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. If you purchase 16oz of coffee beans then you will get a free 12oz coffee beverage of your choice! Also, there is a rewards card that will get you a free bag of 16 oz beans once you purchase 9 bags. We ordered Guatemalan Coffee, Winter Spiced Latte, Molasses Cookie and Whoopie Pie (both baked items were vegan and absolutely delicious!). It’s a shame they didn’t have anymore to take out. What was strange for us (after visiting 66 cafes on our travels) was that we had to ask for sugar and a stirrer! Apart from that we loved everything.
I had such a great time at this café! It’s super quiet and clean, and the staff are so friendly and kind — they really make you feel welcome. Their coffee is top-quality, and they even roast and sell their own beans, both ground and whole. Totally recommend this place to anyone who loves good coffee and chill vibes
Very nice coffee shop tucked away in an industrial park. Very nice, helpful staff. Answered all my questions. They roast their own coffee on site. No food, just excellent coffee.
I gave a lower rating only because I like strong, bold coffee. This was not it. The service was amazing! The atmosphere was really cool. If you like a light or medium roast this is your place. I'm sure they had stronger options, I didn't get it though.
