Rochester is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Rochester is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

I finally made the time to check out Pure Imagination Cafe and I was not disappointed. I grabbed a latte and breakfast sandwich and the prices were reasonable and everything came out pretty quick. The sandwich was excellent and the coffee was ok. It tasted a little burnt or bitter but that might just be a dark roast been that is not my preference. The cafe is spacious with plenty of room to camp out for a few hours and get some work done during the week. That might be different on the weekends but I will add this to my rotation for working remotely. I loved the Harry Potter play area and the pop culture nods on the menu. I will be back and highly recommend grabbing a coffee and food. Update 6/3: I did indeed go back and tried the vanilla Latte which was very good this time. Not bitter or burnt at all. The banana nut muffin was also good. Pure Imagine Cafe will be on my rotation for places to work remotely for a few hours.

Loved the drinks: they had cool spring options like carrot cake latte and carrot cake scones made with sourdough! VERY delicious!! Made my 5 yr old daughter chocolate milk (not out of a bottle) very nice treat! Very kid friendly, play area, a dragon mural, comfy couches, plenty of tables and chairs and even a corner booth. Also changing tables in both the family bathrooms! THANK YOU! Pure Imagination is real competition to places like Leaf & Bean who still do not have changing tables in their bathrooms.

I went in 30min before closing time and they said that the were not making coffee at that time since it was close to closing time. This is unacceptable, is a café place I expect to be able to buy coffee until 4:55pm at least if your closing time is 5pm. I did enjoy a cookie since I was already there. The place is in general nice, the kids area seems to need a good cleaning and toys update. The celling is stunning, also loved the merch.

I’m a mom of twins - they just turned 3 a couple months ago. I wish I knew about this place a year ago and maybe I wouldn’t have gone so long without meeting a friend out for coffee. The play area kept them busy for the entire hour and 10 minutes that we were there. They let us stay right up until close. The coffee was good - I got one of their special flights. “Feeling Frosty” was the most delicious, dessert-like coffees I’ve ever tasted. The girls behind the counter were very sweet and quick to welcome us.
