Spacebar

Let me open by stating that this place is AWESOME!!! So we had to go to an appointment in Canandaigua and decided that afterwords we would find a coffee shop there to work from! We were originally going to go to the Dali Java because it had a cool name but after reading the Unilocal review realized it only had two tables, so it didn’t seem conducive for sitting around working all day. But after seeing the Unilocal for the Spacebar I knew there would be plenty of room there so we decided to go there!
So we arrived at the Spacebar and I knew immediately that it was awesome! It sits in the back of a huge antique shop, but there is a ton of room! We were very kindly greeted by Steve the manager, who immediately made us feel at home. He told us about the coffee, the roasters, and they different styles available, which automatically put this place very high in my ratings of coffee shops!
The coffee comes from Ithaca roasters GimmeCoffee, which is very selective about their beans. I got the Ethiopian and later the Guatemalan coffees, both amazing. Instead if getting what was already brewed and sitting in the pot, we paid a touch more for the pour over Chemex brew! Which is totally worth it as you get the full flavor of the coffee, which is sooooo much better!!! I can’t stress how awesome the coffee here is!!!
We worked for a bit on the wifi which is fast, and chatted with other people who worked here, including the owner, all of which were very pleasant! After a couple hours we were hungry so we ordered off the menu, which is actually from across the street. The food was more of a burgers and dogs style which was very tasty!!! Though they should probably try to find a place that is a bit healthier as well, but really the burger I got was fantastic!
Anyways, we took off just before the open mic night was supposed to happen since we had a lot to do, but it’s really cool that they have cool events, it’s a really cool space, oh yeah and they have microbrews AND a pool table!!! This place truly does have it all; great service, great people, great coffee, great food, great atmosphere, I think you get it… Anyways, this place is a must try especially if you love coffee! Check it out Fo Sho!!!

The Spacebar is a new place for coffee lovers and anyone who stays up past 5 PM, hard to find in lovely Canandaigua. Great coffee, good drink alternatives, cookies and antiques. A very sweet debut. The only coffee place I’ve seen with a billiards table, dart board, massive art, antiques and other goodies unusual for a coffee venue, but a welcome difference. The barista is exploring new coffees and lattes and latte art… Steve and the owners Mark and Jill are very interested in ideas, comments and making the Spacebar one of the finest coffee bars in this part of the Finger Lakes. Excellent wifi signal. Big tables for your Mac.
