A cool place for funky ducks, super chilled atmosphere perfect lighting & temperature.. a good space. I really appreciate that they have coffee from a few of the better known roasters in the U.S. since everyone else only serves & sells their own roast; its a welcomed addition for certain (Pour used to carry 1 or 2 when they first opened like Chromatic, but since changing names etc. they only sell their own brand/roast which ime isnt very good, they trail @ a distant #4 imo), for best coffee around Rochester: Joe Bean #1, Ugly Duck #2, Fuego #3

This place is awesome! The owners and employees truly want their customers to have the best experience possible. Ive sampled nearly every drink they provide and have been continually impressed. Supplying more than just Coffee, Tea, and Espresso; youll also find fresh pastries available. Ugly Duck is always worth a visit. Try their Cold Brew, I love it!

The coffee is delicious, the space is bright and inviting, and the staff is super friendly. They have a customer star program, and are pretty involved in the community (they took part in the WAYO fundraiser, offering $1 off of coffee if you purchased a Kickstarter mug for WAYO). Ugly Duck is definitely my favorite downtown coffee shop!

Besides the coffee, the baristas at Ugly Duck are the best! I forgot my phone at the shop on a Friday afternoon and retraced my steps a few hours later, and lo and behold they were hanging onto it. Sometimes finding seating and connecting to wifi can be challenging, but great coffee.

Adorable and cozy cafe / both coffee and espresso offerings / affogato / friendly and helpful staff can help you pick out the perfect beans from their rotating selection / awesome merch too / small outdoor bench for soaking in the sun / no wifi / multiple outlets

One of the best espresso places in Rochester. Their shots are nicely different from those of the other coffee shops in town. The space is small and a bit dark. Not the best for me to work, but otherwise great. Ill definitely go there again.

I guess I wish I didnt try this at park ave fest. But it was the worst coffee I had in my entire life. I got the cold brew it was like water. I threw it out after two sips. Id try it again but I dont think Id chance wasting $5 again.

Hidden gem! I loved the cappuccino so much we had them grind up some beans to take home. Of course it taste so much better when Ugly Duck makes it! Weve visited several times and found the owner to be very friendly and knowledgeable.

Lovely coffee, baked goods, and friendliest staff. This place is a dream and is a great space to meet with folks, sit alone, or do work or draw. They always have vegan treats available and have tasty vegan dairy items.

Weve been here a few times and have even made the trip just to stop in at this spot. Great coffee, owner and staff are always really friendly. Love that they have macadamia nut milk for a non-dairy option.

Great coffee, service and just a really well done spot. Especially recommended for young families; there is a high chair and a great changing table and wall hook setup in the bathroom.

Try the Snug! They also have a fantastic espresso, Leftest Espresso Blend, with Cocoa and Citrus flavor notes. Great tasting Cappuccino with a strong coffee flavor and creamy finish.

Wow, this place is downright fantastic. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. I wish we had one of these in MA where I live! Super great coffee!

Fantastic espresso and coffee from one of the greats. Turn the phone off and say hello to someone you dont know. You already have mutual interests.

Great coffee, bright and cheery atmosphere. Prices include tax. Pretty popular, not as large as some other coffee shops in the area.

Love me some privately owned businesses. This place is a small little shop that has very good coffee. Please go support them!

The variety is lacking. Overly expensive for the portions served. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Definetly recommend the apple fritter. Nice atmosphere, good prices. Not as much seating, but nice little gem.
