Want to confirm that they DO take credit cards now using Square. This is my favorite espresso place in Syracuse definitely recommend it.

Bridget Badore

My favorite place in Syracuse - I always make sure to stop in and get their coffee whenever I'm in town . So many delicious drinks and so so so many good vegan options . Tasty vegan baked goods too!

Josh Hayman

Best coffee around! Is a little hidden, but is a great find. Plenty of varieties of coffee to try like the York or Nutella coffee .

Cori Carl

Cute spot with wifi , plugs, bike parking , and a good menu. The only drawback is the serious echo, making it one of the loudest coffee shops I've encountered.

Ray Foss

Lots of vegan baked goods , and a surprisingly delicious and filling Tofurky sandwich with veganaise, avocado and mustard . Very nice place to chill if you are in Westcott.

Sam Edelstein

The hot chocolates are absolutely amazing here! For a warm day, get the cold brewed coffee and a cookie (all the pastries are vegan , too!)

Excellent place to cosy up with a book and a hot cuppa coffee . Especially love their specialty lattes

You can sit here all day. Also, there's sometimes no place to sit – because other people can sit here all day.

At night, this place is hoppin'! Head over in the early evening to snag a table and some caffeine and settle in to get some work done for a few hours.

Russ Wakelin

The coffee and hot chocolate are both fantastic. Can get crowded , there is not always space to sit.

Colin Pugh

been going here since 2007, how the coffee shop has evolved into Syracuse's best has been enjoyable to witness =)
