Baked with
Heart & Soul

Our Story

A Corner of
Comfort on Elmwood

Cafe 601 At Strong has been a quiet fixture on Rochester's Elmwood Avenue — a place where the smell of freshly baked bread greets you before you even step through the door.

We're not a chain. We're not rushing. Every loaf, every croissant, and every cup of coffee is made with the kind of care that only comes from treating your neighbors like family. Whether you need your morning coffee fix, a lunchtime sandwich, or a loaf of sourdough for dinner, we've got you covered.

And while the bakery is our heartbeat, we also stock a carefully chosen selection of pantry staples and groceries — because sometimes the best ingredients for a good meal start right here.
