Delicioussssssss!!! Amazing flavors & presentation of the cakes & pastries. Gingerbread cake roll was great and so was the almond croissant. For the croissant, like another reviewer mentioned, definitely heat it up to enjoy!!

I love Cake Bar. My friends and I came over here after dinner on the same street, and we were blown away by this lovely establishment. Our group ordered the cookie-wich, gingerbread cake roll, a crème brûlée doughnut, and a lavender tea. Everything was wonderful - the staff were such a delight. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Service won't be quick, but that's not what this place is for. Fantastic, surprisingly quiet and chill ambience. Excellent deserts. Lovely place for a slow morning/breakfast.

I used to love going here but it’s starting to go downhill. I came in to get one of their specialty hot chocolates and this is what I got instead. Last year I came and it looked just like what was being advertised. Not to mention we waited 20+ minutes just for a basic hot chocolate, whipped cream, and drizzle. I didn’t even get a singular marshmallow in this when it’s advertised as being a “s’mores” hot chocolate. If they were running out of materials it would’ve been nice to know before spending $13 on hot chocolate.

Desserts are good, recommend the cheesecake, coffee drinks are hit and miss, have gone here twice and they messed up my coffee order. Cashier never gave us buzzer so we had to go up and ask about our order. Tables are kind of crowded together and there was water all over the entrance up to the ordering area.

The banana pudding is the absolute best!! The custard is always perfectly smooth and creamy layered with vanilla wafers, bananas and topped with freshly whipped cream.
The bubble teas, tarts, panna cotta are also good

Cake Bar – The Cafe is one of those rare places that instantly puts you in a good mood the moment you walk in. Everything about this spot feels warm, inviting, and full of personality, from the smell of fresh baked desserts in the air to the bright, cheerful atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The staff is friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do, which really adds to the experience.
The food here is excellent. The cakes are unbelievably moist and flavorful, and you can tell each one is made with real care and quality ingredients. Whether you’re trying a classic slice or something more unique, every bite has that perfect blend of sweetness and richness that makes you want to try another flavor before you even finish the first. The coffees and drinks pair perfectly with the desserts, and everything is served fresh and with great presentation.
The atmosphere is another huge highlight. It’s clean, cozy, and stylish without feeling overdone — the kind of place you can come to relax, talk, or just enjoy a treat by yourself. Cake Bar – The Cafe has easily become one of my favorite stops, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves great desserts and friendly service.

I was visiting Syracuse for a couple days and ended up coming to Cake Bar twice. The shop is adorable, the atmosphere is cozy, and every drink and dessert I tried was fantastic.
The taro espresso was so good I had to come back again. On my second visit, I grabbed a lotus cake and a café latte for a late-night treat — both were delicious. I’d absolutely come back anytime I’m in town.
An aesthetically pleasing place, with aesthetic food that tastes bad. and drinks are extremely sugary. I think this was not the case before. Plain coffee drinks are ok

We popped in while waiting for our table at dinosaur BBQ on a Sat night and it was packed! After visiting on Sat night, we went back on Sunday and Monday during our short visit to Syracuse because the food and options were so good!
The bacon sunrise on brioche was an incredible choice. The everything bagel with also a good choice for breakfast. Was also able to try the buffalo chicken and ham and cheese from their pastry display which were good for when you want something that is not a sandwich.
The pandan coconut coffee drink was not too sweet and loved it enough to order it 2 days in a row.
The pumpkin roll, carrot cake and macarons were also great options.
So happy to had stumbled upon this place during our wait because we were able to count on it as a reliable place to pick up food through the weekend!
