Public Provisions

“Had a great experience at Public Provisions. The self-seating setup was a nice touch and made things feel relaxed and easy. The food was amazing, full of flavor, generously portioned, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was great as well, with a unique mix of aesthetics that created a welcoming and stylish vibe. Definitely a spot I'd return to.”

“Had an amazing experience at Public Provisions! I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits with a mimosa, and everything was incredible. I almost never finish all of my food, but I completely cleaned my plate. Liza was amazing and super knowledgeable, friendly, and even let us try drinks we were curious about, which made the experience feel more personal and welcoming. I also really liked the coffeehouse-style counter service setup. It’s convenient and relaxed, and I loved that they had plenty of menus available so everyone could look at one without having to share at the counter. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!”

“This is in the Rochester public market. It’s my third annual trip to have the breakfast sandwich. It’s so good that I dream about it. The people on a Saturday are eclectic and fun. It’s packed. Window seat was great for people watching. Had a chai latte. Staff was super nice. If I lived in roc again I’d be here every day.”

“This place is located in the Public Market, wasn’t busy at all for a Sunday Brunch. The iced latte was 10/10 but the food sadly was not. I got the chicken salad sandwich, with a huge side of chips that were flavorless and honestly just not that good at all. The chicken salad itself didn’t wow me, it was cut up in huge chunks which was very unexpected. My husband got the pastrami hash with an egg on top. He said it was good overall, but the pastrami was on the saltier side. I would come back for the coffee and perhaps to try something else.”

“Made a visit Friday morning and were the first ones in there. There’s no table service so you have to keep going up to order and ask for things. They only have one menu that everyone was fighting for. The guy working there is very polite and listened to our mimosa requests (a hint of juice in each). Those were the best things. I came with a family member and she ordered a cappuccino and something the worker suggested which looked like a breakfast plate of some sort. The cappuccino was solid but her plate was basic, nothing special, very salty bacon. The eggs weren’t scrambled as requested but omelet like. The potatoes were the best thing on that plate and I cleaned out their house made hot sauce. It’s not really spicy but it’s tasty. As for me, I got the falafel salad. That falafel was dry and bland as the Sahara desert but the salad was fantastic and fresh. Loved the dressing. Although I noticed some of the lettuce was browning and wilted. Overall, not bad! I was also given a dirty sharing plate which isn’t a huge deal but attention to detail would be appreciated. Also they did not accept a birthday reward we tried to use as they made some switch. That’s a shame because my family is a big fan of this place. We will be back. I’m not impressed but I’m interested in ramen night. Maybe that will change my mind.”
