30 Best Cafes in Syracuse

“I absolutely LOVE this place! I am so happy a loving environment like this exists. It’s such a wonderful way to spend time with furry loved ones. I instantly felt happy just being there around so many playful cats. I’m so surprised that they all seem to get along. All of the cats I’ve seen there are so calm and playful, or they are sleeping peacefully. It’s a wonderful, loving and clean environment for these feline friends to live or hopefully get adopted into new forever homes. I highly recommend paying them a visit. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable, too. 10 out of 10 stars for Pawsitivitea Syracuse! 😻“

“Aurora's is a little gem. Stephanie and her husband make everyone feel welcome. The baked goods are delicious and they have the best coffee ever!“

“Just returned from one of the best shows of this still young year - Nachos and Blancos featuring Syracuse all-timers Los Blancos. Typically the 443 shows go for a little under 2 hours for many reasons; curfew among them. Not so on a Sunday afternoon! Colin and the band killed for 2 hours +, and those lucky ones (like us) in attendance got everything and more. Thanks, as always, to Julie and Co. for one more unforgettable experience!“

“The service was great. The food is amazing“

“Food is good and they are always fast and nice.“

“Delicious!! Stopped to get a bite while kiddo was recovering from surgery. Food was sooo flavorful and super friendly counter service. Check it out!“

“The food is cooked perfectly and has that old school small breakfast/lunch diner feeling. I am in there almost every day of the work week. Great breakfast sandwiches and the Fish sandwich on Fridays is delicious and big“

“We ordered 2 lbs. of cookies in person to be picked up the day before Thanksgiving. When ordering we were asked which ones we wanted and we told them and pointed them out. Unfortunately when we picked up our order it contained a random mixture of cookies some of which we did not select because we didn't like them. Won't be going back.“

“I tried one of your light roasts this week for the first time and it is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“Ordered a matcha donut and taro cream pastry. They were both fantastic. I also had an ube latte. The flavors and textures were amazing here. I'm in love with this place!!“

“I ❤ Kubal. Such a chill place. I've sat in this Cafe preparing for interviews, on business meetings, date nights you name it. Every time I think I noticed all the details I find another. Not to mention the coffee is the best.“

“Beautiful greenhouses!“

“Excellent location right across from Landmark theater for a nice unrushed dinner before our concert. Our party had the polenta, salmon and chicken pot pie and all of our meals were fabulous! Highly recommend! Servers were attentive and very friendly!“

“Holy. Holy. Holy. Crap. We have found our new "spot!" Fresh ingredients, delicious specialty spreads for the sandwiches. I'm sorry did you just say apricot mustard? Garlic mayo? Cranberry mayo? I can't breathe. HUGE sammies on fresh crusty sub rolls that so soft and yummy. and thick slices of fresh cheese. Even the mozzarella. EVEN. THE. MOZZARELLA!!! The meat is excellent quality. I have no idea where they get it from, but as a meat farmer myself I can tell you by experience, this meat is very fresh and minimally processed. The turkey is undoubtedly sliced from a whole breast, not a reconstituted pressed loaf of weird. But let's get to the service because let's face it. It's always good food, bad service or bad food, good service, right? WRONG. The place is slap full of very cool people and SO friendly, patient and professional, even when you're one of those people like me who just asked what the soups are when the soup menu was 3 inches from my face. So yeah. Go. Just go. You'll be so glad you did.“

“This is my first time here. It's like an old rustic cafe in a different time. The atmosphere is like..... A 90s vibe. Relaxing music; Lauryn Hill, Smooth R&B. Very nostalgic energy. Definitely coming back, grabbing my book and kickin back. I had the Breakfast wrap. JUICY, SUCCULENT, FILLING😍😍 the lavender lemonade was incredibly flavorable. Definitely deemed my favorite. Every star was well deserved😁“

“Went there for the first time today!! Had a great experience!! They have really good Chai Tea Latte’s!! 😋“

“Solid, chocolatey iced mocha. It's a little on the industrial side, and could use a little warmth, but overall good impression on my first visit. Apparently, all but one of the flavor shot flavors, is made in house. So, thumbs up on that one“

“Ernie makes the absolute best sandwiches I’ve ever had! Sides are always good, and the soup is consistently outstanding. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food! We come back for catering monthly. Service is fantastic, too! Highly recommended!“

“I tried one of your light roasts this week for the first time and it is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“Very delicious sandwiches but unfortunately they decided to stop providing sides/potato chips with any of the entrees. It wouldn’t be an issue except for there is no way to order sides online and so you end up having to stand in line anyway.“

“Food is sooo good! Love the empanadas, we miss the oxtail. Young woman always working at Seneca turnpike location is great, she should get a raise!“

“Great quality Coffee. Highly recommend.“

“Soups, salads and sandwiches are delicious 😋“

“My dad does not like your coffee, but I like your coffee.“

“Super crowded at lunch time but the wait is not more than 10 min normally. The menu is kinda repetitive after a few times trying but the quality is normally satisfactory. The place is really nice to chill and work (specially if you are the type who needs noise background to concentrate).“
