    I've been to Cake Bar now a few times and each time I am impressed at the quality of the food, the friendly service and time it takes to order food but also the service of the food. I appreciate the decor and the restaurant ambiance! They've decorated for winter themed, but I recently visited when they decorated for Christmas! I also love the location of Cake Bar as well. Easily accessible.

    I always have a great experience here. The employees are friendly and helpful and the desserts are delicious. It is a very fun place to sit and relax. I get something different each time I come. Today I had the Taro Espresso Iced. I really enjoyed this one mainly because it wasn't super sweet. The taro was a nice combination with the smooth espresso. The Peach Pecan Pie was sweet and delicious with fresh peaches, flaky crust and pecans on top.

    I came here by chance because I got a gift card from somebody. I have to say their chicken pot pie with a puff pastry crust was literally the best pot pie I've ever tried. (don't let my mom read this review.) it's visually stunning and incredibly tasty. I will be back.

    Chicken Pot Pie and Vietnamese Coffee
    Mimi N.

    Cake Bar is a gem that deserves five stars just for their incredible chicken pot pie. Flaky, savory perfection! The Vietnamese coffee is pretty solid, didn't taste quite authentic but close enough. The cafe itself is spacious and cozy, it's a great spot to study or work with plenty of room to spread out. Parking is a hassle in this area but that is no fault of the cafe. Staff is always hustling making drinks so don't expect warm welcomes every time. I've run into issues with availability of chicken pot pie. I've struck out the first three times I went trying get one, they're always either sold out or not on the menu. More consistent stock please!

    Always such a pleasant place. Staff is so friendly. Sandy is the best. Had to try the Bacon Egg Lettuce and Tomato Bagel sandwich with a Vietnamese coffee. Very tasty.

    They've updated their menu (see pics). The chocolate chip sandwich cookie is now $5.75 and was a little tinier this time vs previous visits. Polite staff, quick service, tasty treats.

    Dubai Chocolate Latte - Pistachio Mocha

    I finally made it to cake bar during winterfest and dropped in during the rosenco permanent jewelry pop up shop. Such a cute place and very lively with lots of groups meeting up there. I wanted to try the winterfest special but they were out of the coffee so I got their new Dubai latte and bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious and I loved the toppings. The sandwich was good, I got it on a croissant and immediately ate it needed it before work. I will definitely be back to try more and especially their cakes and desserts.

    toasted coconut iced coffee and valentines tea special

    This might be my new favorite cafe - they have everything you could think of! I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee and the toasted coconut iced coffee and both delicious, bonus points for the adorable heart shaped straw!! The entire cafe is decorated with such thought for valentine's day and looks so pretty - I hope to see it decorated throughout all seasons and holidays! The baristas are super sweet and the crafts/gift area has such fun and cute items, I couldn't leave without buying a crochet flower.. This might become a weekly visit.

    Everytime I come here, I feel so cozy (even when I'm getting my work done). The cake bar is a great place to come and experience great drinks and yummy desserts (that are FANCY)! Even when it's busy, there's a lot of seating inside. Staff is friendly and helpful with the menu. Drinks are on the pricier side, but are definitely worth it!

    Tiramisu Latte

    Great place for Instagram worthy drinks & food! It was hard to decide which dessert to go with, they all looked so delicious! I ended up getting the holiday cake and it did not disappoint! It wasn't too busy when we came, but as soon as we were leaving, many people were looking for tables. So be aware it can get busy! Parking was street parking & paid, we had to walk a few streets over. Can't wait to come back when I'm in town again!

    Cute and affordable spot for bubble tea or unique coffee. There is a nice variety of sweet and savory pastries as well. The service is very accommodating. I totally recommend this place!

    Tofu Summer Roll with Sweet Chili Sauce (Fat Brother Syr)
    Saret B.

    What a great collaboration from Cake Bar x FatBrotherSyr x SavorCuse (follow all three on Instagram for more events). I've never been to Cake Bar before after this visit my family said it's a must in our rotation of cafe/bakery. My children picked out their desserts as my husband picked out our drinks. The cupcake in a cone was my littlest one choice, the cake was light and the frosting was delicious(we're picky family when it comes to frosting lol). My oldest wanted the "Fruit Bowl" which I believe were different mousses in a waffle dish. I tasted a little the different flavor mousses were delicious, light and airy. My husband loved the mousse flavor as well, he kept saying "wow, wow" lol. He picked out the strawberry lemonade which had muddle strawberries at the bottom. He enjoyed it. I've been on an iced raspberry herbal tea kick lately, that was good here. The cafe was so cute as you walk in, floral decor. In the back there was a floral backdrop with the Cake Bar sign to take cute photos in front of. It had decent amount of seating inside also a small outdoor seating area. It's downtown so finding parking isn't the easiest on street but there's parking lots close by. We also enjoyed FatbrotherSyr pop up event at Cake Bar. FatBrotherSyr runs out of a ghost kitchen as well collaborate with local businesses to host these pop ups. We had the fried chicken wings, which were delicious. They were crispy and the chili fish sauce dressing they were tossed in made it. Hey don't be afraid of the funk from the dressing it's delicious. I love papaya salad and the sticky rice was perfect. Next I had the tofu summer rolls, they were delicious as well. So herbaceous and light, paired with sweet chili sauce. I normally love a peanut or fish sauce based dipping sauce but the sweet chili was great with it too. We love supporting our local businesses and trying new places out. Check out both businesses on social media to keep up to date with events each are hosting.

I love a chocolate cake (2 layers) with a raspberry, buttercream and ganche frosting. The cakes are sold as a whole cake and by the slice. For Easter and Christmas holidays I would buy a whole cake (like take a pick)! There are so many flavors including sizes. I do believe you will be pleased!

    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.

As a Brooklyn boy I always found it odd there was no tip jar, we do things differently where I'm from. The prices for their goods is extremely good. Syracuse, take note of this and cherish your establishments. I walked out with two dozen donuts & a single danish cheese for $25. A famous national chain charges I think over $2.25 for a subpar donut. When I visit Cuse, I always stop here but this past time I feel the donuts were not as fresh as they once were, this could be very biased due to my experience and I don't go that often, the regulars will have better input in quality of the years. But what happened below is why I'm no longer stopping in. Saturday the 27th I pull into the parking lot and see a woman outside asking for change, very normal for me where I'm from. I don't say anything. I came inside to do a good deed, bring my neighbor and his children a dozen of donuts and grab a dozen for my family and an army buddy visiting from the west coast. I'm in a good mood. I never give people change, I always buy food. I decided I'll buy a cheese danish for the very thin woman outside in the cold. I add that to my order. Total $25 gave $30 and told the Wonderful Woman who took my order to keep the rest for herself. As I walk out, I offer the woman the cheese danish. She declined it. In a very rude way saying "she doesn't eat desserts". Now toots, you're in front of a damn bakery. People are more inclined to give you food as opposed to money so we don't support your clear drug habit. In Brooklyn where I'm from, the people like that still take the food, say thank you as it's still a kind gesture with good intentions and tosses it when you leave. That being said, there is no issue at this point. I say, "ok, have a good day and walk to my car". If the owner would like to review footage, it's the black 4Runner with NY disabled veteran plates. As I'm getting into my car, the same woman screams at me. Saying "bounce b-I-t-c-h" and telling me I better leave. Of course I reply with every profanity known to man and leave. The next morning I go again to take two donuts for my drive back to Brooklyn. Guess who's there? Yup the same delusional woman. Asks again for change and I tell her, "not after the way you treated me yesterday, I'll probably never give someone anything again that asks". Then she says "why does this man come here? I walk inside, order my two donuts and receive great service from the gentleman with glasses, who I gave a $1 tip to in two donuts. As I'm walking out another customer in the waking into the parking lot of course hands her a dollar. I told him my experience and he still chose too, hey it's America do what you wish. But when this broad is here every day, it's because people keep giving her money. But hey, his choice. And I'll do as I wish. I will no longer be coming to a Harrison Bakery. If they allow a delusional person to sit for hours everyday on THEIR property to accost/ harass customers, they cleary do not value us as customers to have a great peaceful experience. The donuts & Black & Whites are not that good to have to ruin my vibe. It's their property. Harrison bakery is 100% responsible of who is on their property and for what purpose. Syracuse PD will have no issue with issuing a no trespass for this person who literally stands or lays against the brick wall all day. Keep in mind. This is coming from someone who literally grew up in homeless shelters from time to time, even a bit of time at the Vera house down the road.
