Equal Grounds

The atmosphere here is so cozy. It truly feels like a safe haven where everyone is welcome. The cinnamon hazelnut iced coffee was SO good! I can't wait to return here! The staff is amazing, the vibe is amazing, the coffee is amazing... No complaints here!

Comfy cafe with a great drink and sandwich selection, ample seating, and friendly staff. It's spacious enough that you can find a corner to hunker down and get some work done to the pleasant background soundtrack. The decor is welcoming and brimming with pride.
Wifi: Free password protected 2.4 GHz wifi
Parking: The lot is a bit cramped, but there's a number of spots.

The staff was very friendly and the drinks were delicious. The Decor was homey, but it definitely needs some minor improvements such as fresh stain on the floor. Looks a bit shabby. Especially since the walls look recently painted. That aside, I love the subtle touches like the cute changing password for the WiFi and the tip suggestions. I think they should go all out with humour. Definitely a great safe haven for the lgbtq+ community. Must check it out if you’re visiting the area.

Had amazing iced latte (perfect amount of coffee for me) and heated danish. Was a perfect evening!

I generally rate coffee shops based on how good my pee smells after having the drink. The 5 stars for that smell. 😂 (Don't judge me :p)

Nice spot to stop for a spot of coffee and a snack. Meet your friend and friendly service. Check out the entertainment when they have it.

A home away from home to some. Friendly staff create an inclusive atmosphere, and happy customers mingle in a safe environment. I love everything about this place. I try to go almost every day. 💙

We came in from out of town for a procedure at the hospital, and we were recommended this place by my brother who lives in the area.

Oh. My. God.

Upon arrival, we were recommended the Chocolate Peanut Butter Frappe ( I elected for white chocolate) by the self-titled Bean Boy. And we got some breakfast sandwiches. The food and drinks were phenomenal. The atmosphere was definitely very serene, with the standard hustle and bustle you hear at every coffee shop. Compliments were tossed everywhere about everything by the staff and the patrons again.

If I could give this place 10 stars, it still wouldn't be enough. ❤️

Not a coffee person so can't judge that. Tea was good, understaffed when I was there so service was super slow, but not a problem if you're not in a rush. Nice atmosphere, lots of fun games available to play! Bathroom sink water was freezing.

The food and coffee at this cafe was always amazing - but recently, they have renovated the indoors and it looks bomb! I went to school in Rochester for four years and we would sometimes come here for a late night hot cocoa, dessert, and games or a weekend breakfast. They used to have old chairs, tables and couches, slightly worn out. I went to visit a friend in Rochester and we visited the cafe again - instantly loved the new look! The staff is very hospitable and friendly. They are a LGBT safe space cafe promoting inclusion which makes my heart happy! It is a great place to work out of or play board games with friends.

Such a picturesque and inviting coffee place; can’t wait to be back! The frappe chai and cranberry pear green tea are very delicious and refreshing at the same time. Awesome service and atmosphere too. Thank you for sharing this unique spot with us!
