“Stopped in Syracuse for a couple of days and my friend who goes to school there recommended this place — and it did not disappoint! I got an iced caramel latte and it definitely hit the spot — though it was not as sweet as I typically like. I imagine this is a great place for students to go because there’s a ton of seating and also seems like a really inclusive environment. I didn’t try any food, but I was told they had a wide selection.“

“Beautiful place, fun decor and such, but maybe not the best place to bring a kid. We stopped in after Monster Jam with our 3 year old. we promised him "time to pet kitties" but we ended up leaving without visiting the $10/person for 30 min cat room. Not because of the price, but because of our experience with the server. My son saw the arcade room, and excitedly ran into there and sat at a game. we had sat down, and the server marched into the arcade room, pulled my son's hands off of an arcade game and told my mother that he, "CANT be in here" So, we brought him out. He was heartbroken, but we were able to redirect him while we ordered. I placed an order for the meatball special, planning to share with my son. The server said she had to check and see if they had meatballs left, and a few minutes later she came back and said, "okay" so I assumed it was okay to order. We all ordered, and a few more minutes went by, she came back and said, "Actually, we're all out of meatballs so I need you to order something else" I said something like okay, but I needed time to find something for my son. Said server stood over me, so I quickly chose a spicy ramen and continued to try and find something for my son. She said, "I'll take the menu back now" and I was sort of shocked and said that my son needed to eat too and I was just trying to figure out what he was having. We ended up asking for plain rice in a hurry, and they were able to accommodate, but that servers standoffish and rather rude demeanor towards a THREE year old has us never visiting again. I couldn't wait to leave. I will say that after we ordered the rude server left, and we did have a much nicer server, who was very accommodating.“

“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!“

“🌟 Kenzyrah at Fairmount Starbucks = Excellence in Action 🌟

I had an Uber Eats order prepared by Kenzyrah at the Fairmount Starbucks, and it was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had - enough so that I had to get online to leave a review.

Not only was the order perfectly sealed and separated to survive a long journey, but she also included a thoughtful handwritten message that brightened my entire day. This kind of professionalism, care, and attention to detail goes far beyond the call of duty, especially since going into the café was a part of my routine.

In a world where fast service can sometimes feel impersonal, Kenzyrah proved that kindness and excellence can travel miles. Her actions reflect a true ambassador for Starbucks' values, and to ensure the higher ups recognize what a rare gem she is 💎, here's my little poem of thanks:

In every sip, her kindness shows,
A steady hand, a heart that glows.
Through coffee cups and journeys long,
Kenzyrah's care makes service strong 🦾

Thank you, Fairmount team, and especially Kenzyrah, for reminding me why I choose to stand by my local café team in a time of global stress and much-needed economic activism.“
