The Rochester, NY Coffee & Chocolate Festival is a celebration of all things coffee and chocolate related… and then some!

Attendees will sample a variety of coffee roasts and styles, along with a multitude of decadent chocolate-themed sweets from local and regional businesses.

Stroll through a curated selection of vendors—including coffee shops, gourmet roasters, artisan chocolatiers, bakeries, wineries, and distilleries. Attendees will enjoy samples and also have the opportunity to purchase full-sized products to take home.

Beyond the tastes and aromas, discover even more to explore. Shop a variety of unique non-food items from other specialty vendors showcasing unique artisan products.

And that’s not all—don’t miss a special appearance by RENA SOFER, best known for her role on ABC’s "General Hospital"! Rena has also appeared in many tv dramas and sitcoms such as Criminal Minds, Friends, Seinfeld, Melrose Place and many more!
