Clementine
6 N Main St #125, Rochester, NY
Crema's Take
“Clementine is a warmly lit espresso haven where quality coffee rivals what you'd find in Australia, and the kitchen takes breakfast seriously with fresh, flavorful dishes that keep regulars coming back for years. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy enough for a solo coffee session and welcoming enough for families, though you'll want to settle in for a leisurely sit—service moves at its own pace here. It's the kind of place where both the chai and the cortado exceed expectations, and the friendly staff and spotless, thoughtful atmosphere make it feel less like a transaction and more like stepping into someone's favorite room.”

My Chai was absolutely delicious, but the disappointment was waiting 38 minutes for our meal after ordering at the counter. We got the huevos, which was just okay and the chorizo burrito. The red salsa was good but otherwise, it was lacking something. The wait time is enough to not have us come back. I think a longer wait time is fine if expected, but we definitely didn’t expect it to take THAT LONG.
I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great cup of coffee, yummy food, or just a warm atmosphere. Everything I have ordered from Clementine exceeds expectations and has been nothing but great. All staff members are extremely friendly and welcoming! It is such a cute, cozy coffee shop and I couldn’t recommend it enough :) Definitely take the time to stop by here!!
As far as American coffee goes, this place is one of the best. If you are Aussie, make sure you get an extra shot in your coffee to taste as good as what we are used to! But the quality is fantastic. I would come back here for my daily fix if I lived here. Food (breakfast) is delicious. Breakfast burrito and a pancake stack. The burrito was perfect. Add on some salsa to spice it up a little. Pancakes could have used some more fruit, but quality of the pancakes is A+. Best brekkie in NY so far this trip. We came back for a second round, as good or better than the first. Torta de Pollo, Torta de Carne and French Toast. Insanely good! I'm hooked.
My favorite spot for breakfast or lunch, whether I’m dining alone or with family. I’ve eaten here many times over the years, and the food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The staff is wonderful and truly cares—any past issues with orders were fixed immediately, and they went above and beyond to make things right. They can get busy, so wait times may vary, but it’s improved lately. The place is cute, parking is convenient, and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!
One of my favorite cafes. Coffee and food is amazing. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. Super cute space that's super clean and well lit.
