Rochester, NY – First responders across Monroe County are being treated to free coffee and cannolis today as Capone’s Italian Eatery in Spencerport hosts a full-day appreciation event honoring local police, firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers.
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, the restaurant reached out to recognize the “diligent work” of first responders—many of whom spend busy holiday weeks away from their families due to long shifts and emergency coverage demands.
The giveaway runs 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. today, Wednesday, November 26, at 5107 West Ridge Road in Spencerport, just west of Rochester and serving communities throughout Monroe County. Any first responder can stop in for a complimentary hot coffee and fresh cannoli as a thank-you for their service.
Capone’s noted in its event announcement that the night before Thanksgiving is historically one of the busiest periods for emergency personnel. Fire crews, police departments, and EMS teams typically manage increased call volumes, heavier traffic issues, and weather-related incidents as travel ramps up across Western New York.
The Sheriff’s Office publicly thanked the restaurant on social media Wednesday morning, saying the department appreciated the acknowledgment of “hard work and commitment to community.”
Residents who spot first responders at the eatery today are encouraged to share messages of support, especially as many crews continue working extended hours through the holiday weekend.
First responders stopping by should bring valid agency credentials to receive the complimentary treats.
