If you visit Syracuse. You must drop by and have one of their many coffee selections

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.

I simply love the coffee and ambiance here! Best place for a stopover when driving past Syracuse.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Syracuse! Music and chatter inside can be a little loud for me, but seating outside is usually available and volume level is very reasonable. I love hanging out here.

Cool place, cool people, the berista i see all the time she is nice.

Hoppin java joint in Westcott with great coffee and killer vegan chocolate cake

Recess has the feel of a classic coffee house with a casual vibe. Plenty of seating, a nice menu, and free wifi! I understand and respect what they're going for but there were a couple of things that stuck with me.
Unfortunately, they were out of all dairy products when I arrived. In the grand scheme of things this was only a slight disappointment. I didn't factor this into my rating because sometimes things happen. That said, I would 100% send an employee to the nearest grocery store to stock up for the day. Sadly, my espresso was under extracted, sour, and acidic. I also couldn't help but notice some of the staff loudly complaining about a few things.
I've only been here once, so my experience could be, and probably is, an anomaly.

Coffee was good food was good. Cozy atmosphere for studying, meeting up with friends, or first dates!
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.

Recess coffee is really popular. Which makes sense because they serve great food & drinks. Because of this, it’s not uncommon to see a long line out the door. I recommend having some sort of coffee only service window to mitigate wait times and long lines. It would probably drum up coffee sales even more.

I love to come to Recess to study or just grab a bagel. I love their paninis for lunch or I’ll grab an everything bagel for a snack. I am not a coffee drinker, but their iced chai or lemonade is great! I usually have to grab a chocolate chip cookie as well! I’m sure I’ll be back many more times until I graduate!
Love love love it. Best chocolate chai ever!!!!
