A space that works as hard as you do. The Loft is downtown Rochester’s HQ for hustlers, doodlers, wordsmiths, and frame-snatchers. Sip stellar coffee, ride the WiFi wave, and plug into a community that actually gets your creative grind. No cubicles, no chaos—just good vibes and better ideas.
The Loft at Ark is more than a place to work—it's a place to belong. Designed by and for creatives, our space invites you to get inspired, stay focused, and be surrounded by people who speak your language. Whether you're deep in a film edit, concepting a campaign, or finishing a pitch deck, this is your space to create with flow.
COFFEE SHOP WIFI IS SO GOODSUCKS
Everything You Need to Stay in YourCreativeZone
Coffee
When your ideas stall, our coffee bar won’t. Grab a local roast and brew up a pour-over or espresso anytime.
Welcome to The Loft — your creative community. This is your creative space—but it’s also everyone else’s. Let’s keep it awesome. Please review before booking.
Time Is of the Essence
Booking hours are weekdays, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We all love a late-night edit, but The Loft runs on daytime energy.
Loft Life Only
Your booking includes access to The Loft space only. The studio and gear are off-limits unless we say otherwise—no sneaky shoots, please.
Leave No Trace (Except Great Ideas)
Clean up after yourself. Trash out, coffee mugs back, vibes intact.
Be Cool, Be Kind
Respect the space and the people in it. No egos, no weird energy. Headphones help, so do manners.
Snack Smart
Light bites = yes. Full-blown feasts = no. This isn't a food court. Keep it tidy, crumb-free, and low-key.
No Clouds Allowed
No smoking or vaping—anywhere inside. Not by the window. Not in the corner. Not even one puff.
Keep It Legal, Keep It Chill
No shady business. We love creativity. Just not the “true crime doc” kind.
