The coffee, kombucha, and food is all so delicious. The staff is warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is neat! One of my favorite places in Rochester.

Excellent counter beverages and baked goods from the case. Full kitchen service is coming soon. Keep an eye on this space. Natural light and well-considered interior design make it a sanctuary.
Happy Gut Sanctuary is an AAPI (specifically Taiwanese and Korean) owned non-alcoholic bar • fermentory • cafe • tea house • space.
More than an international award-winning tea-focused fermentory, Happy Gut also serves outstanding locally roasted coffee, a small curation of quintessential Taiwanese fares, and grows its own collection of houseplants as a NYS licensed grower & retailer.
We regularly collaborate and host local food vendors, with emphasis on spotlighting Asian American, women, and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, as well as put on inclusive events like NAMI's Mental Health Open Mic.
The space is available for private event rental (please email [email protected] for more information).
