Founders Cafe

Founders Cafe serves made-from-scratch food and organic, fair-trade coffee and tea in downtown Rochester, within the Academy Building, where a trendy atmosphere prevails.

The menu features sandwiches, wraps, paninis, salads, and soups, all prepared with fresh ingredients and artisan breads, and includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Catering services, delivery, and creative specials are available, and on pleasant days, the outdoor patio is open, with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and power outlets provided inside.

The owner, with 40 years of experience in hospitality management, comes from a family that has owned food establishments, including a Carvel franchise and a luncheonette, and prioritizes community engagement and exceptional service, outsourcing bread from Baker Street Bakery to support local businesses.

Founders Cafe, at 13 South Fitzhugh St, Rochester, NY, 14614, is convenient to downtown hotels and the Convention Center, easily accessible by public transit, and within walking distance of major landmarks and business centers.
