    Gluten Free Sandwhich
    Molly R.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    I've heard so many great things about this place I couldn't wait to try it! Parking on a Wednesday afternoon was busy in the street and I had to circle a couple of times to find a spot. I found one in the back of the building and it was free parking . There was a line but thankfully someone was getting up so my friends and I got a table. It was so cute inside and the coffee selections all sounded amazing! I ended up with a Carmel latte! It was served in a real coffee mug which I throughly enjoyed! I chose the chicken thighs with fig jam panini with a side of salad for lunch. It was ok but I usually eat white meat chicken so it was a little strong for me. The star was the cookie. I shared this with my friends and we all declared it amazing! It was the almond croissant cookie. It was crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside and the flavor was outstanding. I would definitely go back for lunch and desert and try another sandwich but stick with that cookie

    I love this little cafe! It is so adorable with the best decorations and atmosphere. They have great food AND drinks. They also have amazing pastry treats. I love to come here to meet up with friends and chitchat over coffee. The employees here are always super friendly and make amazing drinks/food. I also recently read that this store plans on expanding and I am so excited to see what is in store for the future of this café!

    There's no other coffee shop in Syracuse that I know of having pop-up TATTOO STANDS?! Popped in this morning for the fall maker's market and was so blown away by the art, craftsmanship and talent lining the walkway outside Cafe Blue. There was so much to see and it was a beautiful perfect day!! Cafe Blue has a lovely curated menu that always goes along nicely with the season, the month, and the vibes in the community. I love that this coffee shop does so much to support the local community, between coat drives, coffees for cops and so much more. It's obvious when you come that this is the hot-spot coffee shop in Syracuse. If you're here on a weekend, come in early it expect to wait in line. I PROMISE you will not regret it and the drinks/food are so worth the wait. Great place to do some work, read a book, chat with friends and just hang out. Also get some treats for your pups, who are welcomed thanks for a great visit!

    Latte

    Another great Yelp find. Searched coffee shops nearby and this was the closest with good star ranking. Easy find and relaxing ambiance. Service was quick and responsive. Overall an extremely nice and comforting establishment. Oh...the latte was not to shabby either. Definitely will visit again

    Cake Bar - The Cafe is an adorable stop in downtown Syracuse…read more The interior is really modern, inviting, and has gentle music playing. There is always a pleasant vibe to it and often there are people chatting or working on laptops. Employees are always really nice. I really enjoy the Pandan Matcha. Its so hard to find pandan drinks in the area! I find the drinks are often really sweet and so its important to order them with no sugar or less sugar. The boba is okay although the straws they have been using lately are too small for them so they lose some of the shape and correct texture. A random thing I love about their drinks are they used a crushed ice, it makes it feel appropriately portioned to the drink itself. Although I am not a coffee person, the cafe lattes are my partner's favorite in the area and they are highly customizable. It's also nice that they offer a carrier when you have a few drinks to-go. Interestingly, the cake and desserts are the weaker part for me for Cake Bar. They are often pretty dry for my tastes. My favorite has been the potato chip cookies, but I have only seen them a few times. The chicken wing dip buns are pretty good and filling though and are worth trying! Overall its a great stop and a nice place to bring friends when they stop by or to hang out whilst doing some work.

    Food is pretty tasty, servers help you with your order promptly, and it is absolutely gorgeous and…read moresuch a fun spot to take friends or have a cute dessert/sweets/drinks date. My absolute favorite drink is their toasted coconut taro milk tea.

    Late with this review, but Biscotti is the place to go for customized cakes. I emailed them a photo…read moreand told them exactly what I wanted for my 35th birthday, and baby... they delivered--from the taste all the way to the look. This cake came out exactly like the reference photo I sent. It was a three-tier cake, vanilla cake with strawberry filling in each layer, and it was absolutely delicious. They didn't have the specific decorations I wanted, so I ordered them on Amazon and brought them in the day before pickup for them to decorate the cake--and they did a great job bringing it all together. I also want to add that this is not my first time getting a cake from here, and every single time they absolutely kill it. Consistency matters, and Biscotti never misses. And let's talk about the mini fruit tarts--because whew. I always treat myself to one (or two) whenever I place a cake order. They are fresh, perfectly balanced, and so good every time. I picked up my cake on a Sunday around midday, and it was super busy, which honestly says a lot. Plus, this is an actual café, not just a bakery. It's a really cool spot to sit, grab a coffee, and get some work done during the week if you need to. The atmosphere is a whole vibe. Overall, amazing cakes, amazing desserts, and consistent quality.
