Christophers Time Square Lounge

Founders Cafe is a trendy cafe, tea and coffeehouse located in The Academy Building in downtown Rochester serving up award-winning micro roast coffees, freshly baked goods, handmade soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and paninis. We only use the freshest ingredients and artisan baked breads. We also offer both vegetarian and vegan options as well as some gluten free choices as well. With great food made-from-scratch, organic, fair-traded coffees and teas, and a hip friendly vibe (yes, we have WIFI), we're a perfect escape from the office, a stop for passerbys, or out-of-town visitors. In addition to our extensive menu, we also offer catering services, delivery, creative specials theme weeks and a weather-permitting outdoor patio.
