    I've been here a few times for lunch, but this was the first time I came for brunch. My little cousin and I came in around 1 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. She wanted a breakfast sandwich and we also split the chicken and waffles. Everything came out hot and fresh. I've had the bessttttt chicken and waffles in Florida so it's hard to live up to the hype but I can confidently say that the chicken and waffles at city cafe is top 2 best chicken and waffles I've ever had. They put a brown sugar dusting on top of the fried chicken and it's a GAME CHANGER. It was sooo good. Also, their bagels are TOP TIER. I love how everything is gluten and dairy free. The prices are a bit high but everything you get here is quality. Definitely a gem in the area!

    A whole gluten free restaurant in the middle of Central New York State? What?! And it's good, too? I was very surprised to find this gem. This came recommended from a friend. The cafe is so cute and clean! Service is kind and friendly. We ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and BBQ chicken panini. Both were really good. We also loaded up on sweet treats. Gluten free bakery half moons!!!! They even helped us celebrate a birthday with a cupcake and a candle. So lovely! Will definitely be back here. Thanks for the great lunch! Amending this to say that WOW! The half moon cookies and raspberry brownie we picked up we're some of the best I've ever had! My gluten living husband agrees for both. Really can't wait to stop in again!

    Our party of 5 had a great lunch. Our plates ranged from good to excellent. The options for cold drinks were extensive, I thought. Highlights: The tater tots were incredible. I've had gf tots before but they weren't nearly this good. And, two in the party raved about the gf brioche buns. Finally, we tried two of the deserts which were excellent. One, however, was pretty large and rich; we should have shared it. Nice people, nice atmosphere, good gf food, and we have to return! Wow!

    Chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries, Brussels sprouts and a mandarin salad, absolutely delicious!

    As someone who has to eat gluten and lactose free this restaurant is everything! Amazing options with plenty of healthy, savory or sweet options! I will definitely be visiting here when I come to the area from now on!

    Gluten free EVERYTHING! This is a dedicated gluten and dairy free kitchen. Order at the counter and wait for take out or have a seat and they will bring your food to your table when it's ready. Very friendly staff and excellent food. Also got a half dozen cupcakes to go :-)

    Absolutely glorious place to eat for anyone let alone people with gluten and dairy issues. The whole place is gluten free, so no worry of contamination. The owners have family with multiple food sensitivities so they take it very seriously. But the food? The food is fantastic. Fresh and crispy. Flavorful and tasty. Creative and delicious! My family had the burgers and I had the fish and chips. The regular fries are very good. The sweet potato fries are awesome. My daughter enjoyed a cinnamon role and I got to try a bite. SO. GOOD. I literally haven't had a cinnamon role in over a decade it I couldn't believe how good it tasted. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The vibe is cool and casual. I asked if they'd thought about franchising because I'd love to have a place like this in New Jersey but sadly no. This is the only location for all this loveliness. My family can't wait to return.

    Absolutely incredible date night at City Cafe!!! We got two specials and they were both out of this world. Honey Sriracha Crispy Chicken * crispy chicken tossed in hot honey sriracha, topped with lettuce tomato, onion & spicy aioli Chicken Caprese Press * herb grilled chicken, spinach, tomato, basil, onion, parmesan & balsamic glaze The chicken sandwich was definitely hot but so good in the caprese was the perfect combination of flavors. Oh in the homemade chips and french fries, beyond delish!! So happy to a found this place and we will definitely be back again!! As a bonus we discovered these Perrier fusion drinks. The Peach Cherry was so amazing I ordered some for the house on the spot.

    Very surprised and pleased with this unplanned stop for lunch. Sandwich was on special and the upgrade to sweet potato fries was very worth it. Can't wait to try more!

    Vegan Mac & cheese
    Maddie B.

    There's vegan options! The place had a nice vibe/clam & clean. The staff was also quite nice. The vegan Mac & cheese was a little underwhelming but I'd eat it again. It's a cafe but there's no coffee haha. A nice little stop that I'm happy I made.

    Vegan Mac and Cheese

    You'd never guess their Mac and cheese is gluten free and vegan- it tastes so much like the real thing. Cute decor inside- great place to meet friends or coworkers for a gluten-free meal or drink! Very kind and helpful staff, and a delicious-looking dairy- and gluten-free dessert case! If they add a vegan burger to their menu, it will be a home-run!

They have classic arcade games like pinball & galaga, but they also have the newer games like buck hunter & a beer pong machine. The food is top notch, I always get their burger (made with their own special short-rib blend). They have a great selection on tap, with new beers rotated in pretty regularly. But the best part by far are the owners, Chris & Donna. They are the number one reason we keep coming back. I've never felt more welcomed in any establishment, it's like being in an episode of "Cheers" (but for millenials).

Looked over the menu and placed our order with Michelle, who by the way provided very good service along with assistance from another guy, didn't catch his name at the bar.. Chris and Donna both stopped over to check in on us and say hello, as she remembered us from a time we previously stopped and they really appreciated that we returned. A plus to management. For the food - My spouse and I tried their BBG's hamburgers - mine with side salad vs. fries or chips with a champagne dressing that was very good. Spouse had hers with Fries and they were good along with the burger. To be honest, when you first look at the burger and bun, see picture, you think, SMALL, however they are very thick & delicious and I barely finished my burger. Someone else had their Cuban and he enjoyed his sandwich with Excellent, I must say, sweet potato fries. His spouse had their NY chicken speidi and she enjoyed her meal as well. Lots of fun games and great place for kids and parties, they even let you bring your own cake in. Not many places that allow that. As an FYI there was a small birthday party going on and the noise level wasn't bad and the staff placed lots of great looking food on a table for the participants to help themselves. This is also a great place to catch a sports game as well. All in all great food and very good & friendly service. We will return again, that roasted sausage sandwich is calling my name.

    I really like this place and want to see it succeed -- the staff are friendly, the food's solid,…read moreand the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. That said, a few small things keep it from being a five-star experience. First, I've noticed that drinks are sometimes served in plastic cups. I'm not sure if that's a consistent policy or just on certain nights, but it doesn't match the otherwise professional vibe of a hotel bar. Glassware adds a level of quality that really matters in a setting like this. Second, the Monday half-price chicken wing special being "dine-in only" feels a bit too rigid. I completely understand why the rule exists -- to avoid people ordering massive to-go quantities without ordering drinks or tipping. But if a customer's been at the bar for a couple of hours, ordering multiple rounds and treating staff well, they should be able to take their leftovers home. Once food is paid for, that's simply part of the cost of doing business. This isn't meant as a complaint -- more like constructive feedback. It's a good spot that does a lot right, and with just a few adjustments, it could easily be a five-star favorite.

    I really enjoyed the space here. Very relaxed and comfortable but clean. There were lots of tvs,…read moredarts, jumbo connect 4 and Foosball among other things!

I walked i, and didn't realize it was a 'seat yourself' place, so I stood around waiting to be told to sit, and I felt a little silly. No one told me where to sit till I asked someone, and it was busy, so it took a good 5-10 min before I had a seat. When I did, I was served fairly quickly considered it was totally full! My meal was great- a nice American breakfast with an omelet, hash browns, bacon, and toast. Coffee was refilled regularly, and everyone was nice. I left full and satisfied- maybe a touch over-full. The place is fairly bare bones, and the ambiance is nonexistent, but people go here for the food and not for the scenery. I can't even remember anything about the place, except that there is a back dining room, and the one in front where the cash register is.
