This place is our favorite spot for the tastiest and reasonably priced breakfast in the area! We deeply appreciate that their kitchen uses ingredients mostly from LOCAL farmers, and the variety of dishes is carefully crafted to represent the ROCHESTER. Very delicious, whatever you order. Staff is very attentive. Must try if you are in the area.

2025-MARCH: Public Provisions 45 Public Market, Rochester, NY 14605 public-provisions.com Review by Kevin Beckford Public Provisions continues to impress with its great service, cozy ambiance, and seriously delicious food. Today, I tried two breakfast sandwiches--because sometimes one just isn't enough. First up was a buttery, lightly toasted croissant with egg, cheese, and bacon. The second was a flaky buttermilk biscuit, also toasted and buttered, filled with egg, cheese, and sausage. I added a side of grape jam to both sandwiches (trust me on this one), and the sweet-savory combo was spot on. I paired the meal with a glass of fresh orange juice, and it hit the spot. This has been my go-to place for breakfast sandwiches on the weekend, but today I decided to stop in during the week--and I'm glad I did. The weekday vibe is a little quieter, making it a great spot to get some work done. A few folks had their laptops open and AirPods in, attending Zoom calls. I was able to catch up on emails and correspondence without distraction. The service is consistently fast and friendly, and there's something about the food that makes you want to peek into the kitchen to see if your mom is back there cooking up your childhood favorites. Public Provisions is more than just a breakfast stop--it's a comfort food haven with a modern, relaxed vibe. Highly recommend. 2024-APRIL: I had a wonderful experience at the Public Provisions after seeing Michele Ashlee-Meade’s work at the The-Yard-Collective tonight. Caitlin took great care of me I tried the Mando salad, Crispy chicken circle. It was absolutely delicious !! I have come here before for breakfast (which is also wonderful) but this is my first time for dinner. The Food was fresh, tasty and good portions. Thank you Caitlin, I appreciate you taking the time to educate me on the menu and for making this a wonderful dining experience The Chicken Circle included greens, and butter potatoes. “Unbelievable” is the only word I can think of. I couldn’t eat all of it so I took some home for a snack tomorrow. Like I said, in the review, great portion size. This Mando salad was delectable I could have had it for a meal it was that good

An excellent first experience. Table was waiting for us at our reservation time with prompt service. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers of Crispy Calamari and Fried Cauliflower with a great bottle of Tuscan red. Dinner was Chicken Circle and Scallops. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back. So nice to be able to park under the market roof with the crazy amount of snow this evening.

The chef, bartender and the servers were amazing! Everything is fresh, the flavors of the scallops and the chicken as well as the flank steak. You can't forget the dessert. Lemon tart and a chocolate hazelnut praline dome is a must try! We will be back!

I was surprised by how expertly prepared the food was. Unique, really delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was wonderful and it’s a multi-generational family operation. The waitress and bartender offered warm and helpful advice about food and cocktail options. We ordered six dishes and every single one was out of this world. We’ll definitely be back - with friends next time!

Ever since we found this hidden gem in public market, we kept coming back! You can tell the chef put a lot of effort into designing the dishes, and the ingredients are always fresh. One of my favorite dish is duck(most of time it is the daily special), and their in house raspberry sauce is BOMB!! Egg in a basket is very good(even though I don’t like blue cheese). All the dishes have different layers of ingredients and balanced flavors.

If you have visited the ROC Farmer’s market but have not yet tried Public Provisions, you are missing out. I stopped by for a Caramel Macchiato to sip while shopping the market. The space was warm and inviting and the service was excellent. I decided to treat myself to brunch after picking out my vegetables for the week and the server recommended the “Biscuits & Gravy” from the specials board. The dish was excellent. The gravy was flavorful and surprisingly light. The biscuit was thick with fluffy layers and the our surface had that perfectly crisp crunchy crust. The sunny-side-up egg perched on top was delicious with that clear sheen of an egg cooked to perfection. Watching the yolk ooze into the gravy I knew the first night would be delightful. I almost requested a spoon to ensure I enjoyed every drop of the gravy yet the biscuit portion was exactly enough to enjoy every savory bite. As I mentioned above, the gravy was light and creamy and a welcome change to more gloppy fare I’ve been served under the guise of breakfast. The house brew coffee was excellent. Top marks on all categories. I’ll be back. You should check it out.

I actually bought fresh loaves of bread and a mushroom croissant, which was buttery, and the mushroom n garlic filling was awesome. The bread was crusty outside and soft inside. The restaurant looked nice, and those there seemed to be enjoying their food.
