Literally such a cute place!!! Such kind staff but food took a little while, no worries though since the atmosphere is amazing and the lighting and music is very great. Quiet vibes with studiers. Reuben and scramble were amazing! Dom the cashier is so nice
Why didn’t I try this place sooner? Best frappe I’ve ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks, and they have a million different flavors you can add. I got a coconut caramel one and it was incredible. Bonus, the atmosphere is very inviting, there were two guys sitting at a table playing lovely Scottish music and the barista was friendly and patient. Huge windows and nice couches to sit on and enjoy your food and drink. I can’t wait to go back and try the food too!
Beautiful cafe! The energy is very inviting! The atmosphere is full of unconditional love. The employees are bubbly and wonderful. They sell various mind body spirit items. They have food and snacks. All around lovely cafe! There is seating in the back with some shade and in the front by the windows and outdoor seating. The coffee is delicious and There are so many options! There is an art gallery and a seating area upstairs. Moksha is the owner and her girlfriend Jeannine. It's a treat if you catch them for a chat. 🥰 Love love love and will definitely be back!
This place is freakin great! Had a regular latte and an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
The Dalai Java is a GREAT place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee, it’s so relaxing inside and has beautiful decor. Personally I really enjoy the nutella frappe and their breakfast sandwich, it’s my go-to everytime I’m there. The service is amazing, everyone is so nice and makes sure you get your order fairly quickly even when busy. I totally recommend Dalai Java!!
I have made regular trips to Canandaigua for several years, and one of my favorite spots to stop every time was The Dalai Java. The fellow who ran the place, "Coffee Chris" was truly a one of a kind leader, who had just an outstanding support staff. Every time I walked in, They would all know my name and immediately welcome my return. Then after Chris sold the company, the woman who took over hasn't seemed to care at all about the customers, unless they are part of her gossip circle. The dozen or so times I've come in since, not once have I been recognized or even aknowledged. Instead I get to watch the owner boss these poor kids around while doing nothing herself. Honestly, this shoppe's best hope is to find a new owner once again. I hope wherever Coffee Chris and his crew went, they are killing it as hard there as they did at Dalai Java.
Great coffee shop. We stopped here while out and about in the area for a quick cup of coffee and they didn't disappoint. Not only was the team very friendly but they also have a self serve cash pay coffee station with very fresh ready to go coffee. Thank you.
A fantastic coffee place! Many unique products made by local artisans.The coffee is no doubt a star, but so is their menu for breakfast or lunch. It's a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and a delight to sip a beverage with friends, or even to relax on a day on your own. There is also seating outside and it's darling!
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Sutherland House in early December for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time! The house is stunning - beautiful furnishings and spotless - it was particularly cozy as it was decorated for the holidays. We had a standar
Beautiful little area. We just moved to the area & still figuring it all out! Lots of room to sit with family/friends or going for a swim! I personally wish you were able to go for a walk near the water @ this location but thatâs okay many other ar
Very beautiful happening place. Close by restaurants, ice cream shops. When the weather is great, you can sit outside many places to enjoy the food. Parking: Public parking is available nearby. Pier itself is a beautiful walk, and you can view mobil
Ericâs is one of our very favorite restaurants. The service, food and atmosphere is ALWAYS excellent. We were there tonight and everything was perfect. I had the rigatoni, chicken, mushroom, tomatoes in a light cream Marsala sauce which was to die
Definitely recommend. Delicious breakfast and great American diner experience. Polite kind staff. . I enjoyed eggs Benedict with steamed spinach. Everything was tasty and sauce great. Husband had a breakfast with sausage meat and he enjoyed this too.
Great menu of German faire. Very hearty meals. Our waitress Shannon was a delight. Our meals were cooked to perfection. My schweinemedaillons were moist and tender. A lovely little place. A must have is the warm pretzel roll. Brought the menu back
We ordered a smash cake for my grandson's first birthday. Keeping with "lake" theme, Sweet Solutions did an excellent job with the bobber and the cake tasted great too. We also picked up a delicious cinnamon roll for the family breakfast. Great jo
Kyle is the most magnificent bartender in the region. He always makes sure to give me the best experience. He is a beautiful authentic personality. Without him there would be no bubbys. Good drinks are better with good company. ð
Our first visit, and we were quite pleased. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. Not sure if it is in a nicely restored building, or a new building designed to look old. Either way, it very tastefully decorated inside. Pretty large menu with
I have been here 4 times and each time has been delicious. Each time I make a visit I have to get the fried pickles! They are the best Iâve ever had because of the extra crispy coating they use. My main meal I had the jalapeño popper burger and it
