Great coffee, friendly service that's not too friendly or prying, and seats enough to sit with someone but not to feel crowded. A really nice balance of things that show the care and thought put into this space.

Good coffee, good gelato, good Italian soda! There is seating downstairs and upstairs. It's cozy and chill.The chocolate gelato was not nearly as good as the vanilla imo.The barista was nice and she made everything we ordered promptly and well. Will definitely be going back here!Parking: There's parking in the Dogtown lot but it can be a hassle getting a spot in there depending on the time of day.

Hydra is a really cool spot, decorated very nice and the staff are extremely friendly. My fiancé and I both ordered an iced coffee and a pastry. I had a gluten free lemon bar cookie, and my fiancé had the Irish soda bread that they warmed up and served with honey butter. Both were very good. Our coffees, however, were underwhelming and didn’t have any flavor. I wish the shamrock flavor and the brown surfer rosemary were more predominant in the drinks. I’d try this place again, but I might ask for more flavor in my drink.

I actually don't know how the coffee is... I was going to go here but they have steps up to their entrance and no ramp, so it is not accessible. They lost my business.

Amazing coffee options. The employee's are so kind! I normally go here to study and there is plenty of seating available. The decor is also amazing, I love all the beautiful plants.

The best coffee in town by far !!! We go there regularly with our youth after Sunday service and spend at least two hours there! They are always polite and even when we stay a few minutes past 4 they never told us to leave! Very nice workers and best coffee and pastry's in the (585)!!!! Must try

The worst cold brew I’ve ever had - everyone in the group agreed, it was way too acidic. Stick to drip. The mocha was good!

NOT KID OR ACCESSIBILITY FRIENDLY! I’ve been here about 3 times with my toddler and we live in the neighborhood, walking distance from the coffeehouse. Each time I’ve gone in there an employee has been rude to me and implied I couldn’t pay for something bc it was too expensive and explained why it was expensive when I simply asked to verify the price of an item before swiping my card to make sure I’m not spending too much. Is it the way I’m dressed or the fact that I have a child? I pay expensive rent to live in this neighborhood just like everyone else here. The husband’s employees at dogtown have also been rude to me in the same manner. I’ve always payed cash or card and dress warmly if it’s cold but I’ve had employees look at me as though I’m homeless or with disgust bc I have a child, despite the fact that I always clean up after her. Also I’d like to mention that neither of these places are accessible to people with mobility related disabilities. Do better.

This is a new coffee house with comfortable sitting. The Cortado's and Cappaccino's are made by experienced Barista's that taste perfectly balanced.

I’ll have to try this place again. The drink was lukewarm at the start & didn’t taste like it had espresso in it - such was the case with my friend’s latte as well._________Second visit: both this visit & my first visit did not have great customer service - none of the employees were friendly or even wore a short smile.

Love this place. So awesome to have them join the neighborhood. Vibe is stellar, oat milk lattes are

This place opening a 2 minute drive/ten minute walk from my house is super dangerous. I enjoy their creative syrup flavors and the coffee is always good. Also a huge fan of the scones. Looking forward to trying more and having breakfast there one day soon.
