The best shrimp and grits I’ve eaten in Rochester hands down not salty seasoned to perfection. Y’all know I’m big on customer service and they didn’t disappoint amazing interactions with customers. The music playing in the background is a whole vibe. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you guys for this wonderful experience.

This is a cafe Rochester should be proud of. Less than 1/2 mile from the Susan B. Anthony House, 1872 was the year of Susan B’s highly publicized act of civil disobedience, her arrest for voting. Women who dared is the theme that is carried throughout the decor and menu. People who lean feminist and progressive will feel in their element. For those who do not, do yourself a favor and get delivery. If I could give this place 6 stars for food I would. The menu is exhaustive with numerous clearly marked vegan and gluten free items in each category as well as options to customize sandwiches with gluten free bread. The person taking my order understood what each distinction meant as well and offered gluten free crackers with my soup – a treat I have NEVER had even at dedicated GF restaurants. I was grew a bit impatient when food took a long time to arrive, but one bite and I quickly realized that the perfection was worth the wait. I suspected that the soup was made to order and not ladled out of a cauldron. I asked about it and it was confirmed. It really makes such a difference. The steak sandwich had slices of 1/8 inch thick filets and was so just juicy enough to moisten the slightly dry gluten free bread. The cheese was lusciously stringy but broke on its own. And the sweetness of the peppers was a welcome surprise, though I could see some not appreciating it.

Delicious food! Fresh ingredients! Got delivery via Uber eats. The cafe made my food much quicker than expected. When it arrived, mac and cheese was still hot. The mac and cheese is very yummy, by the way, would highly recommend. Slices of breakfast pizza the size of my face! Got a crispy chicken salad for lunch, also looks very good. Lettuce is crispy and bright green, tomatoes are not soggy. Very impressive considering COVID food shortages.

The atmosphere here is welcoming, the guy behind the counter was patient and nice, and there was a lot of seating available on a Saturday morning. I had a yummy spinach feta pastry and an iced mocha. I love that there is outside seating!

A little slow because only two people were working but they make a great breakfast sandwich and really yummy blended drinks and smoothies, all quality ingredients. Great space to meet up with people, relaxed environment.

Absolutely fantastic food – I got the steak breakfast sandwich, kiddos got the waffles and wife had a sandwich with potatoes and spinach. I highly recommend pairing the sandwiches with the croissants. We’re just visiting but if I find myself back this way, we will be making another stop.

Really nice, good vegan options. Vegan variation of the garbage plate was not as flavorful as I had hoped but was still good. Just not what expected. Staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Environment is a 10 out of 10

I placed a order through Grubhub. For some reason Grubhub canceled my order. Someone from the restaurant called me and said they would personally deliver my food. I was so appreciative of that. The food is always amazing. Awesome customer service 1872 cafe. Thank you so much.

I tried out this cafe for the first time today and intend on revisiting. The classic breakfast sandwich and the Freddie D veggie egg sandwich on everything bagels were delicious. The slice of pizza and the glazed donut are also good. This place is well lit, has low chairs at tables, high chairs facing the outdoors, an outside section, booths, upholstered furniture, and plenty of electrical outlets. This is a good spot for meeting in a small group or getting work or reading done. The staff is friendly and helpful.
