“I’m not vegan BUT this place is! And it was delicious! The atmosphere is bright, clean and roomy with a kind of cool vibe. They have outside seating too. The server was warm and took time to explain things to me. The loaded fries were very good (lots of toppings and the fries were done perfectly). My Mac and cheese with chicken nuggets was excellent. I’m all ready plotting my next trip to have it again. I want to tell you….this is great food that happens to be vegan“

“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!“

“Loved the orange clove iced latte I got, and they had some great pastries too, I think I tried an almond bar. Once I accidentally ordered something I thought was coffee, that also had raspberry tea in it, so taking a sip of that was just kinda like...confusing during that first sip lmao. I have delayed processing so menus with very little info confuse me. So I just asked the barista "What am I drinking rn?" But it was an interesting drink and a new experience that I enjoyed.“

A little off the beaten path around the Syracuse airport, but totally visible on the corner. We placed our order for breakfast sandwiches and the home fries with onions. Plus coffee. All delicious! Sunshine's is a small place, with a couple booths plus small tables. Very homey feel. Great way to start our day!!“

“I was sadden that this previous occupants of this space had closed. This lovely space within the building that houses the Palace Theatre, in the center of the Eastwood business and office district, seems fitted for a successful small coffee shop. So I was over erjoyed a few years ago when other entrepreneurs ventured to give it a try at serving the Eastwood Community with their specialty coffee house. The business seems to be going strong, having expanded their hours a few months back.I like the place. It shows that Eastwood is a place where hipsters can hang out. It is also a good stop if you live in Eastwood and are taking advantage of living in a walkable urban neighborhood.Vegetarian options: There are a number of vegan bake goods available.Dietary restrictions: They have non-dairy options for coffee based drinks.Parking: Saturday and Sunday street parking is free (unofficial on Saturdays). The parking lot behind the building has plenty of parking when there isn't an event at the theatre. But if you live in Eastwood, why not take a walk and leave the car at home.“

The marinara sauce for the meatballs is incredible. I love when I have errands to run in this side of town because this is a great spot to stop for a hot or cold drink and something delicious to eat. There’s also a GREAT selection of jewelry, candles, take home coffee, and live music.“

“This is a phenomenal venue for a bridal shower. My bridal shower was held there in April 2023. The staff was exceptional, making sure all of our guests had drinks, waters, coffee or anything they may need. Asking for my opinions on timing of cake, food, etc. The food was perfect particularly the lemon chicken, even gave us to go boxes at the end. They were flexible with accommodating some changes to their lunch menu as well that we requested. The rooms are well decorated, beautiful mirrors, greenery and exposed brick. Leaving for very little additional decor needing to be brought. We focused on centerpieces and some signage.We were not rushed out at the end while they were cleaning up. They welcomed my fiancé by his first name when he arrived showing that they pay attention to every detail. Even found a surprise gift from them amongst my gifts at the end! If you are looking for a venue for bridal shower I would highly recommend! Thanks for making my day perfect!“

The food is fresh and has that clean taste to energize you through the day. But if you just need something sweet and chocolatey, the cookies are seriously the best around.

Both were delicious, pleasant is probably the best word I can think of to describe the coffees. The roasts they have all sounded very good and their website says they're ethically sourced. Every baked good in their case was vegan, we didn't get any but they looked great.“

“Cafe kubal is our go to place for coffee, brunch sandwiches whether we order through Grubhub or we are walking in. They are super quick and have always been super nice! They also just expanded so it's much bigger with an extra room where you can sit and do work! When we order for delivery, everything comes wrapped, tidy, and still warm. Some of their sandwiches have changed and are not updated on the menu; however, they are very good at calling you for substitutions, which is greatly appreciated. The past two times when we have ordered, our coffee was made incorrectly and a sandwich was incorrect. Maybe a glitch! But their coffee is great even with nothing extra in it!!“

The only slightly strange thing was the person placing the drink in the pickup area did not call out the names on the order.

“Recess Coffee is a must stop on any trip to Syracuse for me. I love their peanut butter mocha (pb + chocolate + espresso = a heavenly combination), their bites are great, and the service is always lovely. And, this location of Recess Coffee is no exception. The seating area is comfortable, offering options for those wanting to get some work done as well as those on coffee dates or meeting friends. For warmer months, they also have some outdoor seating options. The set up is order at the counter and pick up at an adjacent counter. I stopped by most recently on my way to the airport and was able to dart in, grab a bite and a cuppa, and be on my way in no time. Get to it!“
