CanalTown Coffee Roasters is a coffee shop in the city on East Avenue, in the strip mall across from Wegmans in Culver/University/East. It is owned by "Master Roaster" Peter Pelletier, who has over 20 years of experience in roasting and buying. Canaltown was created when Peter moved back home to Rochester from North Carolina where he worked at his father-in-law's coffee shop. His love for importing and roasting coffee led him to create Canaltown.
Canaltown prides itself on importing and selling high quality roasted coffee. Canaltown offers several unique categories of roasted coffee to its customers both in-store and on their website. These unique categories include, African, Blended, Central and South America, Dark Roast, Decaf, Espresso, Flavored, Organic, and South Pacific. Most of Canaltown's roasted coffee beans can be purchased online at the Canaltown website.
In addition to roasted coffee, sandwiches are also a popular item on the menu at Canaltown. Also, frequent open mic events held on-site help make Canaltown a relaxing environment for music entertainment and enjoying a cup of coffee.
