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

“Recommended! Love this Place“

“Great drive-thru coffee place. Large selection of flavors and a healthy selection of sugar free flavors as well. The staff are always friendly. D9nt let a line deter you. They normally have people taking orders in advance of the pavilion so the lines tend to move quickly. I like going afternoon because they seem to like to play country music in the morning, which I can do without 😀“

“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! ❤️💛“

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

“Absolutely the best cafe in CNY!“

“Salt City Coffee is our go-to for coffee catering at events -- every time they deliver top-notch service, a friendly and professional team, and of course, delicious coffee. Their mobile coffee cart is always a hit with guests and brings a fun, memorable touch to any celebration. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, you can count on Salt City to show up on time, be responsive, and serve with a smile. We highly recommend their team!“

“Celebrated my daughters bridal shower today at Phoebe’s! I couldn’t have picked a better venue. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the food to the staff. Perfect day!! Thank you to all the staff for your help today.“

“Great atmosphere and staff. I was looking forward to ordering the breakfast sandwich after being away for two years and can’t say I’d recommend it anymore after it being a previous favorite l. It was super thin. With that said it’s still an awesome coffee shop. I hope the rest of their food has held up“

“This location makes Syracuse feel like home. Their daily barista always remembers my order whenever I walk in. After moving to this city this is a place that brings community to Syracuse. I love trying all their new experimental drinks and walking into a place that makes this city feel like home.“

“Highly recommend. If you have a little time, just ask for a cup to go, if you have time to spend...spend some time in conversation with the owner Doug! We just happened to stop by while looking for a quick coffee and wound up spending over an hour talking. I'm a coffee fanatic. Lived in major cities all over the world and stopped into many of the highest rated cafés in the world. I've roasted my own beans at home, made coffee with over 20 different methods of extraction, even grown some small trees myself and I was shocked by how good the coffee and beans are here! I suggest you come in with a humble attitude and an open mind to learn. You will have quite the experience! note, not a big menu, just simple good coffee. enjoy!“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“Recommended! Love this Place“

“Love Varsity Pizza! I remember when I was younger going to SU games but swinging by Varsity’s for a slice before the game.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Best food and best people!“

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

“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!�“

“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.“

“Starbucks is my goto for black coffee. I don’t like the fancy whipped cream stuff, but I also don’t fall for all the artisan independent coffee houses. Starbucks makes high quality roasts, black and blonde, and I highly recommend them for premium coffee.“

“AMAZING FIRST EXPERIENCE!! We will definitely make this one of our new favorite shops! My son loved his PB flurry! And they have THE best vegan ice cream and cookies! Something for everyone! Check them out! You won’t regret it!! 10 🌟“

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

“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.“

“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++“

“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“

“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.“

“Great place for a quick bite to eat! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, and the food's pretty damn good for the price! The breakfast sandwich was killer, I've also had the chicken cutlet sub which came with chips.. I would have definitely upgraded the 250 for the fries but oh well!“

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

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