44 Best Coffee Shops in Syracuse

“Stopped In Wednesday evening 10/10 experience! Staff was very approachable about explaining the menu and making sure we would like what we ordered. I love finding places that have pandan flavored items as it's not very common in the area. I love that they have items here with it! I had a matcha drink this time around but my next visit will be Vietnamese coffee!“

“Cafe Blue was the best coffee I have ever had! I will be coming back for sure!“

“I absoltely love this place been going since 2006“

“If you’ve never tried the strawberry matcha from Cake Bar, you have to! I wasn’t even a fan of matcha before, but this drink completely changed my mind. It’s honestly the best I’ve ever had!!! I could drink it every single day! The customer service is immaculate. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. The atmosphere is so calming and cozy. I especially loved all the plants around the café. Their menu is huge too, with so many delicious options to choose from. I can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“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“

“I love Strong Hearts! 💕 their food is always amazing, and their menu even inspires some of the food I make at home!! they are definitely a staple in the vegan community and I am so happy to see them grow, from Syracuse to Buffalo! ❤️💛“

“Absolutely the best cafe in CNY!“

“Awesome atmosphere to sit, visit with friends, enjoy a coffee. I had just a bagel and cream cheese (delicious) and will most definitely be back!“

“Very busy business so plan on waiting. The drinks are very good but the bagel breakfast sandwiches need better bagels. The bagels are out of a bag and weren't toasted. Tasted like eating a Lenders bagel but I know it isn't, supposed to be Cassanovia. Parking can be difficult. If you do like coffee you won't be disappointed in their drinks.“

“Bartenders make creative nice cocktails. Employees are well mannered and kind. Relaxing environment with several food options under the same roof.“

“Recommended! Love this Place“

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

“I give all my buyer clients gift baskets when they close on a new home. In every basket I include the three items that are a part of an old traditional house blessing: “Bread—that this house may never know hunger, Salt—that life may always have flavor, and Wine—that joy and prosperity may reign forever” I always use small, local businesses for the products to make and fill my basket. Especially the bread! I want it to be same-day fresh, and from a bakery as close to the client’s new home as possible. Well, yesterday I had a final walkthrough with a client in the Scottholm neighborhood, and Tous Les Jours was the closest option. Boy was I blown away by every detail of this shop!! It was pristine, every item and every surface sparkled and gleamed, there were so many delicious looking pastries and so many I had never seen before! The chefs were dressed in beautiful gingham uniforms and chatted with us as easily as if they had known us for years. I will definitely be going back many times. And my clients very much appreciated the delicious, authentic French Baguette!“

“Decent place for a morning breakfast and a Latte
My daughters tried the Bagel and the oatmeal and I had the bagel and coffee .
It was good and a easy walk from the restaurant.
Plenty of space to seat and enjoy a morning coffee and was not crowded“

“Great service! Great food“

“People visit shops with hallmark Christmas tree town store fronts and remark they had the best cup of coffee there. They are wrong. This, Kind Coffee, is without a doubt, unabashedly, unequivocally, unarcumptiously the best cup of coffee in Syracuse, maybe the world (which expains why he fills so many international mail orders), and I'll shoot down in cold blood anyone who disagrees. There is no Rae Dun cursive on the walls. Just a highly educated tradesman proprietor, a powerful sound system, and the freshest, most expert roasted, finely brewed cup of coffee you'll ever have in your stupid starbucks loving life. Get ready to have real coffee for the first time in your life“

“A reflection of true coffee shop feel that emboldens good price for a cup of "different" Java where you feel welcome to the surprise of actually having somewhere to get out of the home. Take a minute and see The World from a different point of view before stepping back out into madness...“

“Their breakfast sandwich was SPOT ON! *chef's kiss* The everything bagel was so soft and fresh, the chili mayo was absolutely key, and the egg was perfect. Their breakfast wrap was also delicious. Great mocha latte and coffee too ? ?? ?

Vegetarian options: I asked for the breakfast sandwich without meat. They were happy to do that.“

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

“I got an iced latte with oat milk. Delicious! And the barista working this morning was super sweet. Thank you so much. 💛“

“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!“

“Nice Healthy Options! Turmeric Chia Tea Very Yummy!“

“AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10“

“Had wonderful sandwiches and salads delivered for 60 people! Delicious, prompt and friendly!“

“Yummy especially DD coffee & d donuts too...“

“Their coffee is delicious and well priced. There is a menu available where you can order food to accompany your coffee. The freshly baked bread, cookies, and cakes were both tasty and affordable. Despite its small scale, the room will hold a large group. This is an absolute must-see!“

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

“Update 1-14-25. Went here to order two hot mocha lattes, service was wonderful, coffee was much better than the other store at N Geddes and W Genesee street and we were treated with respect and kindness, much better than the store where the other Dunkin' that has Diane as the manager ever did. Bravo to Velasko Road location Thanks for making our experience a wonderful one we will bring back more business here . AA++“

“Best food and best people!“

“I feel sorry for the batista. There was only one and there was a long line.“

“I have been looking for a bialy for some time and while there are plenty of places that make bagels, so few have bialy on their menu. I found the bialy here to have very good texture and flavor, but wish there was more onion and poppy seed, which is very traditional on a bialy.“

“The location is convenient and has a drive thru. I prefer the iced lattes, specifically the maple vanilla and the mocha. They have delicious bagel sandwiches. Their employees are always pleasant, and the wait is never terribly long. I believe they do have order ahead, but not for all of the items that they offer. They have both booths and tables.“

“Even though I don't shop Price Chopper often, I now make sure to always stop at Starbucks after I check out, to treat myself after a stressful shopping trip to feed 3 teenagers!The baristas are awesome, cheerful, and always go the extra mile, even if it's an extra chocolate drizzle to try and cheer up your day!They went out of their way to wish my son a Happy Birthday, and congratulate me on 18 years of parenthood! The frozen drinks here are also more frozen (yay! ?) than the Starbucks up at Barnes and Nobles up on Erie Blvd East.

Dietary restrictions: They offer soy, almond, oat, and other types of milk, for people like me that don't engage in interspecies breastfeeding, and are allergic to cow's milk“

“Decent food (breakfast, burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. and etc.) and friendly service. Service might rush you through to their own detriment, though. Come in for lunch and they assume you don't want dessert (at least, they did with us). Had a decent brownie from them, though, after "insisting."“

“Excellent service, very friendly and ALWAYS have what you want. Open until 9 pm. Compared to other DD Down the road, rude staff, can’t understand them, drinks watered down and close way to early for their location. On a busy street, close at 7 pm.“

“Nice for dining inside or out. Always friendly and attentive service. Good selection of great food for full meal or just grazing.“

“Pomelo is my fav ! The employees are so sweet and remember my drink when I walk up ! Missing this during covid !“

“This Dunkin is in a convenient location and the coffee is always great. I dislike when a neighborhood place like Dunkin keeps the bathrooms locked; it’s unfriendly and unneighborly to do this as I see it.“

“I was at Delta Sonic with my mother who pumped gasoline into her CRV. We both went inside the convenience store, bought sodas & lotto tickets which we sat at the tables & scratched off. I won my $5 spent on 3 tickets back on one $2 cash word ticket while my mom won $1.00 on a $1 loose change scratch off. Tim Hortons in within the Delta Sonic & it was around 8pm so it was closed.“

“Dunkin Donuts by me never disappoints me, always have what I want to order & plus not far from me so what ever time I can always go & grab my coffee I love from your store!�“

“Seriously the best coffee I have ever had. I travel all over the Southeast and Northeast. You just don’t find those the full, rich and distinctive flavors anywhere else. I am returning to my beloved Fl in Sept of ‘24. I will be bringing several bags with me, then ordering online.“
