    Chai Latte
    Molly R.

    Really nice location, decorated well and clean. The baristas are friendly. The coffee is good nothing special. In my opinion it's just a little bit pricey.

    Came to Cafe Kubal at the beginning of the year to work and enjoy a mocha. It's a great location for both. The coffee is splendid, the staff is lovely, and there's plenty of tables at which to hunder down and get a little work done. In addition to a variety of coffee beverages, they also have beans and I was able to score a pretty cool mug for my at-home coffee enjoyment. Currently, during COVID-19, they have online ordering. You can get your beans shipped to you or you could order online for front door pickup as well. They're even selling their house made syrups so you can make yourself a lovely flavored latte at home and it will almost taste just like in house. Almost. (Nothing tastes quite as good as enjoying a coffee in a bustling shop does)

    This was the first stop on my first visit to Syracuse and it was a great introduction to the city. The staff was great which gave me a great way to start. The cappuccino was delightful. We purchased the huge banana bread loaf and I wanted to scarf the whole thing in one go. Great products, great location for photos and best of all great staff! If you are around Syracuse it's worth a stop.

    Perfect location, awesome coffee and excellent customer service. I had the pleasure of stopping by this new location today before I head back to Maryland tomorrow. The place is, cool, hip and has a great atmosphere. I love the decor and the simplicity of it. I got my cafe au lait, as always. It is perfect. I miss my Kubal fix down in DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area. I would love if Kubal would come that far. Wishful thinking. I love, love it. Great job at this location!!!

    Iced americano + decor.

    A nice coffee shop in a great location. I've been to this location twice and each time it's been quiet and nearly empty, which I don't mind and is great for conversation. I ordered an Iced Americano because you can't get those everywhere, and immediately knew I'd made a great decision. Surprisingly caffeinated and strong. Not too dark, and not too much ice. Menu is perhaps not as large as in other Kubal locations, but it's different and unique from them in other ways too, so it's all about taste and preference. My favorite part of this location is sitting and people watching Franklin outside, and looking at the astounding Niagara Mohawk building directly outside. Music is not loud or overpowering, a typical indie/90's mix. It's quiet and relaxed here- but a very enjoyable experience. Plus, it's right on the Creekwalk bike path!

    We checked this place out during a Yelp Event and we were not disappointed. The egg bake was fluffy and savory. The parfait yogurt, berries, and granola were all of high quality, creamy, tasty, crunchy...so good. And oh my goodness , the pastries were so deliciously flaky, fruity, buttery, cinnamony, nutty...just so so good. I will definitely come back.

    This is their Creekwalk Commons location (1 of 7 locations). I am not sure if they have their own private parking lot. There was street parking (2 hours at a time). I had a small vanilla latte for under $5. I liked the natural tasting flavors of the vanilla syrup but I am unsure if I like the espresso. Overall, I like their coffee much more than Recess. Other flavor options for your coffee includes peppermint or caramel. This space is dark but has a lot of windows. It is connected to a convenient store. They sell breakfast foods like sandwiches and pastries. The workers were friendly and my drink was made really quickly. The atmosphere is more eclectic and less modern than their location on East Fayette St. I heard the East Fayette location closed (unfortunate, because this was my favorite 1!). They played cool music here that included Kygo and Paramore. They have free wifi and several seating options including booths, couch area and taller tables. I like the view of the Niagra Mohawk building from within this coffee shop. They cater (coffee, cookies, pastries, tea)! This location sells merchandise like camping cups.

Overall, I enjoyed my visit. The vibe was relaxed and low-key, making it a good place to sit down and get some work done. I spent some time working while I was there and appreciated having a space where I could focus without feeling rushed. The staff was pleasant, and one of the employees was kind enough to take a picture for me when I asked, which I appreciated. The only thing that stood out to me was that there wasn't much of a greeting or acknowledgment when I walked in, but it wasn't a huge issue. The seating was okay. The chair I chose wasn't the most comfortable for an extended stay, but it got the job done. There was also some rock music playing during my visit, which helped create a casual atmosphere. I didn't order any coffee or food this time around, so I can't speak to the menu yet. This visit was more about finding a place to work and unwind for a bit. Would I come back? Yes. While I'm still searching for my go-to coffee lounge in Syracuse, Recess is definitely a spot I'd visit again. It has a chill, unpretentious vibe that makes it easy to settle in and spend some time there. I forgot to take more pictures will do when I go back.

Rather than telling the person handling the phone order that the croissants were already ordered, the cashier just apologetically smiled. It's our first time here (we told the cashier that) and she tried to offer other options, but we weren't looking for cake first thing in the morning. What's weird is that the person handling the phone order was making drinks before and after so I'm not sure if this was an order for a friend or a legitimate customer. The whole thing was disappointing and soured our opinion and experience. Seven employees were working and it still took over 10 mins to get two lattes. When served, our drinks were not hot because the espresso shots had been sitting on the counter cooling off while the milk was steamed and the flavoring added. The interstellar had good flavor but was kid's temp by the time I got it. The honey saffron didn't taste like anything and was slightly warmer, but fell flat flavorwise. Overall, the experience didn't feel particularly high end as the prices would reflect, nor efficient. I'm not sure if I would return.

    I've been on a mission to find coffee shops in Syracuse that are open late enough for me to unwind…read moreafter work, and Milano had been on my list for a while. After finally visiting, I can honestly say the pictures don't do this place justice. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and somehow elevated at the same time. It felt less like a coffee shop and more like hanging out in a friend's beautifully decorated home. I spent a few hours there editing a YouTube video, and it was exactly the type of environment I've been searching for. Since it was my first visit, I wanted to try a few different things. I ordered the strawberry vanilla matcha, which was surprisingly good. It was a little sweeter than I expected, but the flavor was excellent. I'm not usually a matcha girl, but I'd definitely order it again. Their menu is extensive, with several drink options, flavored matchas, pastries, cheesecakes, and even the viral fruit pastries that I saw several customers purchasing while I was there. One thing that really stood out to me was that they actually offer food. I ordered a jerk beef patty and a jumbo apple fritter, both of which were delicious. They also had other savory options available, including spinach pie and additional patties. As someone who arrived hungry, I appreciated having more substantial options than the typical coffee shop pastry selection. The staff were wonderful. They mentioned that they love welcoming new guests, and it definitely showed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and patient while I stood there trying to decide what I wanted to order. I never felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. Since Milano is located in the heart of downtown Syracuse, you'll most likely need to park on the street. If you're visiting before 6 p.m., be prepared to pay for parking. Overall, I had a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the customer service. I'll definitely be back, and Milano has quickly become one of the strongest contenders in my search for the perfect late-night coffee shop.

The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints!
