Stir Coffee

Stir Coffee is a coffee shop situated within I-Square, a mixed-use town center development in Irondequoit, NY. Located at 400 Bakers Park, the shop operates as part of a dining and entertainment complex that brings together several restaurants, a craft brewery, and community gathering spaces. Stir Coffee sources its beverages from Coffee Connection, a Rochester-based nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that provides workforce development and employment training for women in recovery from addiction and incarceration.

The menu centers on drinks supplied by Coffee Connection, including hot, cold, and frozen coffee drinks, chai tea, and hot chocolate. Breakfast sandwiches and baked goods round out the offerings. Free wifi and outdoor seating are available for guests. Listed hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM, with Sunday and Monday closures — though visitors should verify current hours directly with the business.

Stir Coffee stands apart from other Rochester-area coffee shops through its partnership with Coffee Connection, a nonprofit that has roasted fair-trade, organically grown coffee in Rochester since 2001 while training women in recovery for sustainable employment. This social-enterprise supply chain means each purchase at Stir Coffee supports a local workforce development mission. The shop's placement inside the I-Square complex also gives visitors access to multiple dining and entertainment options in a single trip.

Stir Coffee sits inside I-Square at 400 Bakers Park in the town of Irondequoit, just north of the City of Rochester. The complex includes several other dining spots — The Market Grill, Hong Kong One, FishFace Sushi, and Pura Vida Ville — along with The Reserve Bar, I-Scream ice cream, and Irondequoit Beer Co., a craft brewery housed in a restored barn. I-Square is located near the well-known House of Guitars music store on Titus Avenue. The development also features an outdoor performance stage for seasonal events and rooftop garden seating, making it a neighborhood gathering point. On-site parking is available.
