The spiritual head of coffeeism, DJ has fantastic vibes, music, & artistry. The music, food & drink combinations are endless. With endlessly friendly & efficient staff, DJ has it all for the quality coffeehouse of CHOICE in the Finger Lakes Region. Good luck Finger Lakes Roasters, good luck 😉

Why didn’t I try this place sooner? Best frappe I’ve ever had. Waaaay better than Starbucks, and they have a million different flavors you can add. I got a coconut caramel one and it was incredible.
