44 Best Coffee Shops in Syracuse

“First it's the friendly people that work there! The first time I went in was when I was working over in the plaza and I was greeted as soon as I came in mostly it seems quiet there which is nice. But quiet doesn't mean that no one is coming in because well I was waiting for my drink, smoothie and waffle they had a steady stream of people coming in. After having my tea,smoothie and waffle I can absolutely understand why! not only are the people who work there nice and helpful since it was my first time there I did have some questions that they answered. But the tea is great! the first time I got the Lavender Milk tea with boba,it was a nice balance of Lavender with enough sweetness and milk to have it be a nice afternoon drink. I also got the Orange Smoothie with rainbow jellies I upgraded to the larger since it was my lunch and it was refreshing, tasty and well worth the cost to have a healthy lunch, the rainbow jellies added to the fruit flavor of the smoothie making it almost a different flavor with each sip! The Pandon waffle with Ube icecream is a nice addition to everything it's made fresh there to order and it's a nice light almost vanilla flavor on its own but adding the ube icecream enhanced the flavor both work well and it's Gluten free! I've also gotten the green tea and mango with boba, a strawberry banana smoothie and move over Starbucks because if you think you've had dragon fruit from them and like it. You'll love the real deal with them! They also have some fruits on the menu that you don't see everyday like Jackfruit,Lychee,and Durian! I haven't been brave enough yet to try them but I definitely will! You won't regret giving them a try! oh and definitely sign up for their membership! you get upgrades and birthday treats with it!“

“Very nice place. Staff is very professional and friendly.“

“My grandmother developed dementia and hasn’t been able to cook in a long time, and I gave Eva’s a try today, seeking comfort only Polish food can bring. I cried. The food was so good. It sent me back to my grandmother’s table, and I was listening to her curse in Polish. I ate until my heart sang, and ordered food to go to help get me through the rest of the weekend. If you want authentic and delicious Polish food, this is the place. I will be back!“

“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“

“The mocha latte was amazing, so smooth and the chocolate did not taste artificial. The sandwich was good a little dry but the flavor was good. The avo toast is plated so pretty. Very good. Was excited to try a pastry but did not have a big selection.“

“Recommended! Love this Place“

“Super amazing menu - so much vegan cozy comfort food- and great salads too. My toddlers absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back for more of everything - the great owner who was amazing with our wild things (even brought kid friendly cups with lids!) and all the friendly staff... we appreciate you and are looking forward to next time!“

“Absolutely the best cafe in CNY!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

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

“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“

“Great little cafe in a great location. I just ordered a coffee with a shot of butterscotch, but it was pretty tasty. The building the cafe is situated looks to have been an old manufacturing plant with red brick and wooden beams but, with the plants and artwork in the room, it's quite a nice atmosphere. The service was quick and efficient. Great place to grab a coffee and sit in Franklin Square Park on a nice Saturday afternoon.

Parking: There are a number of lots in the area that may be free on the weekend, and there is street parking around Franklin Square Park.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It is Bowl BOSS! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick. I would recommend the smoothies and acai bowls they're amazing. I haven't explored their menu, but they do server health waffles and toast if that is of your interest!
I have the atmosphere a 4 because it is a small place and can get crammed if there are a lot of people.“

“The go-to place to grab myself a quick and tasty breakfast and grab my mom a coffee I know she’ll love.
Rise and Grind > Starbucks all day everyday.

Highly recommend.

Parking: Large lot, easy parking!“

“AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10“

“I recommend going here to just chill and relax. If you love cats and want to just chill with them as well then that’s a plus! I love this gem.“

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

“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.“

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

“This has been my go-to lunch spot forever. The Cobb salad is my usual but mixing it up with a panini is a nice option. The staff take the time to know your name and are very friendly. 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. I have never had a bad item here.“

“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!“

“Recommended! Love this Place“

“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.“

“Best food and best people!“

“We were walking in to get ice cream yesterday and witnessed a child wipe out on a scooter near the store. The woman working all alone behind the counter was quick to respond to my request for water and napkins and provided a cold bottle of water for the boy as we made him a makeshift compress before he had to go to the hospital. So glad your employees feel empowered to help! of course, we enjoyed all the delicious vegan options as well.“

“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 like my neighborhood dunkin' in western lights. When I go always friendly and speedy service. Lines are always lined up to onondaga blvd, and when I walk in, I still have quick service and don't have to wait until their line is down. Today, I got the wrap with turkey sausage, I love that it is an option. Most places dont have turkey sausage, and I also got my favorite iced Macha latte ? yum and hash brown. Keep it up, guys! Sorry, no pics. I forgot, lol.“

“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!�“

“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."“

“They make it the way you want it!! Non-dairy extra expresso shots..“

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

“Headed to the Syracuse Airport we were looking for a good coffee shop and found Kubal. Friendly staff, locally roasted coffee and a nice cozy dining area. My wife and I both enjoyed their Cappuccino plus I had a really tasty Jalapeño Bagel with Cream Cheese. Good spot for coffee lovers.“

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

“Love Love Love this location!!!!!
The seating area and bathrooms are always clean. Staff is always friendly. Outside presentation is not only clean but clearly established as a coffee shop. I love the outdoor seating and the option for drive-thru if I'm in a rush.
Well Done on another great location Cafe Kubal!“

“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.“
