Butchers Blueprint

Butchers Blueprint is a full-service butcher shop at 2344 Lyell Avenue in Gates, NY, just west of Rochester. The shop focuses on fresh, hand-cut meats sourced from USDA choice beef, along with pork, poultry, and house-made sausages. Butchers Blueprint brings a modern approach to the neighborhood butcher model, offering custom cuts tailored to individual customer requests alongside next-day delivery across the greater Rochester area.

The meat case at Butchers Blueprint covers a wide selection across several categories:

• Beef — short ribs, flank steak, ground chuck, steaks, and roasts
• Pork — Western-style pork ribs and various fresh-cut options
• Poultry — fresh-cut chicken in multiple preparations
• Sausage — signature recipes crafted by butcher Joe Cutia, including mild sausage and other house-made varieties
• Smoked meats — a rotating selection of smoked options

Beyond individual cuts, the shop sells meat combo packs for customers looking to stock up. Curbside pickup is available, and next-day delivery covers Gates, Greece, North Greece, North Chili, Spencerport, and surrounding communities. The butchers will cut to order, adjusting thickness, trim, and portion size on request. Hours run Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; the shop is closed on Mondays.

Butchers Blueprint has built its identity around custom cutting and Joe Cutia's signature sausage recipes, which draw on a traditional butchering background. The shop sources USDA choice cuts and emphasizes hand-cutting over pre-packaged alternatives, positioning itself as a neighborhood destination for customers who want input on how their meat is trimmed and portioned. The next-day delivery service across multiple Rochester-area suburbs also sets it apart from typical brick-and-mortar meat counters.

The shop sits at 2344 Lyell Avenue in the town of Gates, along the Lyell Avenue commercial corridor west of the Rochester city line. This stretch of Lyell Avenue is a mix of small retail businesses and neighborhood services, accessible from Route 390 and close to the Gates-Chili area. Street parking is available along the avenue, and the location serves as a convenient stop for residents of Gates, Greece, and the western Rochester suburbs.
