    I have been wanting to come here for so so long. The vibes are absolutely immaculate as soon as you walk in. They were having a jewelry pop up which was such a nice surprise!!! I was ordering and didn't know what to get and the barista was happy to suggest that I get the cake my day latte. I didn't know what I was expecting, but WOW. The raspberry cold foam was sweet and delicious and the latte itself was perfectly sweet with the oat milk. I can't wait to come back. I need to get lunch next time!!

    I want to love this place more, but unfortunately just missed the mark on things. The food all tasted fine, but generally not well executed or well seasoned, and our order was messed up twice despite very politely asking the restaurant to help fix. They were nice about fixing the order, but they also started to get busy and I think that factored into some of the trouble. Very pretty cafe and pretty menu items, unfortunately just felt that there was something missing in making it a great experience.

    Cafe Blue is my absolute favorite place in Syracuse to grab a great iced chai latte and my favorite breakfast sandwich. The employees are always so welcoming to everyone that enters that cafe. They have the best breakfast sandwiches from sweet to savory, anything you can think of with lots of options for add ons. My go to is the Maple Leaf sandwich which is a croissant with bacon, egg, and cheese with a maple aioli on top. I always add a little extra kick and add chipotle aioli to make it my own special sandwich. I am so grateful to have this safe space in Syracuse where I can go and be in my own little world. I love to go there and just sit and read my book or listen to some music. In the summer they have outdoor seating as well. I love Cafe Blue

    This was my first time visiting Cafe Blue. The location was spacious with plenty of room to work or catch up with friends. The gluten free sandwich was tasty, there is a gluten free charge unfortunately. I didn't try the coffee this time, but I'll definitely be back. Service was great and everyone was very friendly.

    Such a cozy spot! It is very nicely decorated inside with couches and comfy chairs or tables to sit and hang out. The sandwiches are delicious, the coffee is great, and there are lots of baked goods to choose from as well.

    Such a great little cafe, and not so little with the recent addition to their space. The case was full of pastries, and they had some savory food options. I love the aesthetic of the whole place. The barista was very helpful in choosing what I wanted for my beverage and service was pretty quick too. They had some nice fall themed flavors and I was able to enjoy them in my iced matcha. I would definitely go back. I love the little affirmations and cute sayings written on the cups. They just make your day a little brighter.

    Large caramel latte with toasted marshmallow cold foam

    While in the area, I popped into Cafe Blue to grab a coffee. What a cute spot! It was packed on a Sunday around noon. The line was almost out the door! While I didn't order food, everything looked absolutely delicious coming out of the kitchen. Especially the breakfast sandwiches! Now onto the drinks-- they have so many flavors to choose from (classic options and seasonal). I went with the large ice latte + caramel + toasted marshmallow cold foam. OMG, that cold foam is next level! Like every single drink should come with toasted marshmallow cold foam on top! The latte itself was meh. The espresso was weak and tasted more like milk and caramel. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely return to try some other options.

    Such a cute cafe! Their baked goods looked delicious. We went first thing in the morning and they had just pulled many of them right out of the oven so they were nice and warm. Great coffee with different flavor selections. We sat in the side room with extra seating. The workers were very nice. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

    The chicken figgy with a side salad
    Deb B.

    First time meeting a friend at Café blue. What a beautiful little place. Clean and nicely decorated, with a small section in the back room of plants for sale. Nice menu, which has sandwiches, salad, bowls, salads, pastries, and of course, lots of different coffee and tea drinks. The staff is outstanding and helped us figure out what to order as first timers. I thought the small latte at six dollars was a little overpriced. I ordered the chicken and the fig sandwich which was presented on toasted bread like a Panini, and full of chicken, sliced apples, Brie cheese, and fig jam. It really worked and was delicious. It was served with a generous side salad, which made it a perfect lunch item. I did have some difficulty finding parking and parked around the backside of the building where I could see the aquarium being built. This is a place where you can meet with friends and sit and talk and not be hurried, which is exactly what we did.

    16oz Netflix and Chill coffee. Highly recommend, a special today.

    I got the blueberry iced tea, amazing, as everything has been here so far. Staff is always very polite and welcoming. The cafe is always clean, well kept and very comfortable setting. Nice option of tables, booth and couch seating. The crowd is always average level not too loud not too quiet. Highly recommend.

    Immaculate vibes. Definitely the kind of coffee shop you come to for the aesthetic and ambiance. Especially lovely and cozy on snowy days. I dropped in on a Sunday morning about an hour after they opened. Shop was empty when I first arrived, but traffic quickly picked up. Definitely a popular spot -- limited seating inside, so plan your visit accordingly if you want to linger (you'll definitely want to linger.) The bakery case was stocked with gorgeous pastries including macrons, croissants, and cupcakes. Hard to choose! The specials menu was full of fancy possibilities. I opted for a an almond croissant and an oat milk latte. Didn't see prices listed for the baked goods, and my latte actually wound up being cheaper than what I expected from the menu? Around $10 total, $5 for the croissant and latte accordingly. More on the high-scale side for cafes including price-wise, but you can tell that the staff puts a lot of care into every aspect of the experience. The croissant was delicious, perfectly flakey and crammed full of almond paste that made me feel really nostalgic. The powdered sugar liberally dusted on top was the perfect final touch. Latte was good too. Solid playlist, and though the cafe got buzzy it wasn't too difficult to focus. A local jewelry maker set up a table for a pop-up while I was there -- love to see small businesses collaborating with and supporting other local entrepreneurs. If you don't nab a parking spot along the front of the businesses (you might not, because the building houses apartments too I believe) there is a bigger lot a short stroll away. Located in the Inner Harbor, close to Destiny USA and the waterfront, neighbors to a salon and the Meier's Creek Taproom. All around a nice experience. I'd definitely come back -- great place to meet up with friends or coworkers, or just take yourself on a work adventure or self-date. An absolutely darling, adorable cafe, and worth checking out!

    Very busy small restaurant and bakery in the Inner Harbor in Syracuse. The decor is very light and airy and with the two big front windows it was light and bright even on a gray winter day. They have lots of coffee options and I chose the Matcha Butterscotch Latte. The matcha was blended well and the butterscotch flavor went nicely with the grassy matcha. Three of us chose the chicken thighs, brie, apple and caramelized onion on sourdough bread. It was delicious....the chicken was cooked perfectly and was moist and full of flavor going beautifully with all the other ingredients and the fig was a jam added to the sandwich. I LOVE that instead of chips you can have a salad . What a brilliant choice. We shared an almond cookie that was sweet and tasty. It reminded me of an almond horn from my favorite Italian bakery.

    Flourless chocolate cake

    For the first stop on my birthday, we stop to get some coffee. I saw that Cafe Blue had their September drink special which was name after Noah Kahan's songs(love this!). My husband got the Season of the Sticks (s'mores latte) and I got I Love Vermont (maple draft with maple cold foam). The maple draft tasted great, you can taste the maple without being overly sweet(I got it again a few days later lol). I tried my husband's drinks and that tasted delicious as well. The flourless cake was a perfect size and tasted amazing to start my birthday. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I love the touch of encouragement, phrases or whatever it may be the ladies write on each cup sure can make anyone's day!

    Cute inside

    If you're a donut lover, Glazed and Confused is worth the stop…read more We had a great experience here. My fiancé and son were even gifted two donuts by the kind woman behind the counter after my son excitedly shared he'd been helping clean up downtown for Earth Day. Such a thoughtful gesture!!! They loved the cinnamon bun and cereal killer donuts. The shop was clean and very busy, but service was quick and efficient. There are a few seats if you want to eat there, although it's more of a grab and go spot. Parking is street parking and can be tricky at times. They do offer a few gluten-free options, but nothing dairy-free. Overall, great donuts and genuinely kind service--we'd definitely return!

    I'm generally not an "over the top" donut and dessert person, but I do love to check out donut…read moreshops to see if all the hype and "extra" is worth it. Definitely is in this case! The staff was nice and even wrote a nice thank you note on my to go box. Inviting little nook of Syracuse, and happy to have a chance to order a couple of donuts that were all pretty tasty. Only "complaint" was that I seemed to receive the runts of the donuts, but we also did not need three humongous donuts for two people, and ordered very close to closing, so that's on us! And even being smaller donuts, they were not "small" or lacking in flavor, only small compared to some other donuts/flavors still available. Can't wait to come back and try more- surprisingly the buckeye was the favorite despite me not loving an abundance of toppings usually. Not crazy sweet and lots of flavor!
