Sweet Praxis catered for our wedding September 2025. We had hand held desserts and they made our personal wedding cake. Everything was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests! Meg and Jen were so sweet, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We also love visiting the bakery on the weekends for a coffee drink and breakfast treat!!!

Delicious and inclusive eatery with polite staff. Very impressive options for gluten free and vegan customers. Gorgeous artwork for wedding cakes.

The title says it all. I live in Youngstown, NY and I travelled to the Sweet Praxis in June and September because I like it that much. They have a great variety of pastries, sandwiches, coffees and teas but I have to give them a lot of credit because it is really hard to find vegan menu items the taste so good. For anyone who's concerned about parking, weekdays you can park on the street and pay at the meter. On weekends, you can park in the parking lot that's across from the corner of the café. They open at 8 a.m. EST, so if you want to get a seat and really enjoy your meal, make sure to be there when they open since it gets pretty crowded by 9:00 a.m. If you're anywhere in the area, I strongly recommend you pay this place to visit.

Enjoyed the peanut broccoli salad which had a bit of kick to it.

Food is good but I suggest getting prepared pastries from the display case. Sandwiches and salads can take 20+ minutes even with no line and a small crowd. Save yourself the frustration if you go and stick with the display case.

Great options for vegan and gluten free. I loved the olive oil cake (GF&V) it had a rich lemon flavor with a cherry glaze on top. The zucchini muffin was good, not too sweet. Solid cold brew.

The Sweet Praxis did a variety of desserts for my wedding (brioche donuts, truffles, cupcakes, cheesecake). While I didn't work with anyone directly (only over email), my guests enjoyed the desserts. They were helpful in creating what I had in mind for the way I wanted my cupcakes to look.

I am so tired of people giving 4.9 to a place just because their cult goes to that place regularly 🤦🏻♀️ this is not the only place in Syracuse with a crazy high rating and mediocre experience. Please stop ruining google reviews for everyone.
I ordered a croissant, it was average, came crispy, but a bit too salty, and the butter was low quality, you can taste the difference.
Cappuccino was okay, normal size, which is good.
Otherwise the place can be at best a 4.4 or 4.5 not a 4.8 or 4.9.

Super vegan friendly, lots of sandwich and sweet options. The coffee is supreme. Highly recommend stopping here.
Excellent vegan options!
Wonderful Gluten Free options! Thank you for showing the world that gluten free can be delicious! 😀
The cupcakes and cutting cake they made for my wedding were the talk of the reception!!!! They were delicious moist and some people took a couple home with them! If I'm ever in Syracuse I will drop by again for sure!!
I’ve had a great time at this gem! I had never been before/ heard of this bakery before. And now I can’t stop talking about this place. From the delicious food (even the vegan version is delectable and I’m not vegan) to the demeanor and customer service of the staff. The staff is kind, friendly and helpful. I will tell anyone about this place whether they asked or not. I’m already plotting on my next treat! Sweet praxis has become my go-to bakery for delicious food but mostly for the sweet treats that add colors to my happy memories
