This was my first time going to 1872 cafe and I had a great experience. I ordered the Suzy b and was given a side of grits on the house. They were both very good!! Service was wonderful and the woman who took my order was very sweet. I will definitely be back!
I have been going here for years and enjoy everything about it. Great service! The Suzi B and Freddie D are my favorite breakfast sandwiches, the apple fritters are amazing and the clam chowder is great. My favorite is the shrimp grits!!! They are YUMMY. This is a friendly low key place to eat solo or with friends.
After going here twice, this is for sure a great spot. The employees are all very kind and extremely helpful. The breakfast sandwiches are absolutely delicious. I could easily make this a regular spot to come for some good food and relaxing vibes.
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.
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. …
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, …

Absolutely love it here! Whether I stay and have a coffee or pick up lunch for me and my coworkers, they always give you the best service and AMAZING food. The crust on the pizza is second to none and if you have had a Betty White with a slice of home made banana bread then you haven’t lived.
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.
The service was great. The Mac and cheese even better! Kids loved it! Pizza was a nice bonus. Will eat here again! Clean and friendly atmosphere.
