Fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service and very reasonable prices!…read more I come here very often for lunch during the week. It's my go-to place for a healthy alternative to some of the other heavy, indulgent sandwich places in DT Syracuse. All of their menu items are customizable without unreasonable add-on prices. The indoor and outdoor seating is great when I have time to sit down too. There is enough space in the front for a small group (5-6) but most of their seating is for 2-4 people. Every once and awhile I treat myself to their homemade cookies! They are always worth the extra calories!

They also own Chelsea's Restaurant & Bar located across the parking lot from E.A.T., at the corner of Velasko Road. This 1,600-square-foot café is a cross between their full-size diner and the coffee shop. A counter stretches the length of the front windows with tall stools and plenty of charging stations for electronics. The dining room also has eight tables that each seat four customers. My wife and I met some friends at E.A.T. for the first time recently. It's a nicely decorated cafe, plenty of parking lot spaces available. We were able to easily get a table for 5. We all placed our orders, which were brought quickly. I ordered the chicken & waffles special, while my wife ordered the country biscuit dish. The chicken & waffles was said to have a hot honey maple syrup, but there was no heat to the syrup at all. The chicken was chicken tenders, which was fine, but they did not have a very good texture - they were somewhat rubbery and full of tendon. My wife enjoyed her biscuits, but her, and the rest of the table, agreed that their home fries were undercooked and grainy. We also tried their Lucky Charms special latte, which was good. Prices were decent, employees were mostly friendly. Not sure it's a place we would go out of our way to give another try.

I happened upon the Mixing Bowl by chance whilst shopping in Camillus. And boy, I'm glad I did…read more Drawn in by the choice of wraps on the menu; blown away by the greatest surprise I've had in a restaurant in a long while. This place makes the best "slice" of pizza. Not really pizza, but focaccia in a pizza-like style reminiscent of Sicilian style pizza. What sets this piece of tomato, dough, and cheese apart is the magic that happens between the layers. There's a middle layer on top of a perfectly crispy bottom and below the extremely tasty cheese top that is both flavorful and has the most pleasing texture. Put it all together with a little charred pepperoni and you got heaven on Earth; truly a spectacular "slice." Also available plain or with sausage. I had mine at room temperature. Soooooo good. Take it from the Pizza Maven. They got something REALLY special here. BTW, the wraps were very good, too. Nicely grilled chicken in a soft wrap stuffed with fresh veggies, fresh mozzarella, almonds, & even strawberries. It worked out to be an interesting, delicious combination. But, when I go back (and I'm going back sooner than later) it's going to be focaccia all the way. Thank you Mixing Bowl for showing me the light in the darkness of the Syracuse pizza world.

A new deli/convenience store in Baldwinsville decided to just adopt the dishes name as their store name and run with it. Chopped cheese offers a variety of sandwiches, wraps, halal platters and desserts, along with also serving as a bodega style convenience store. The space has been completely renovated and everything is brand new, bright and clean. They are mostly aimed at take out, with only a couple small tables with chairs for dining in. We tried Chopped Cheese when it first opened. Now, about 6 months later, we have been there several times and have tried several things on the menu. The good: when the food is made well, everything is usually pretty decent. The very first time we went, they had JUST opened and didn't have some ingredients on their menu yet, but we were able to substitute and everything was good. We were even given some free desserts, which were also tasty. The bad: Now that we've been there a couple times, there are definitely some issues. They have a lengthy menu, and even 6 months in, it seems employees are still not sure of all ingredients that go into their offerings, often questioning several times what you ordered off the menu, or physically having to check the menu to see what the ingredients for a dish are. While the service at the register is usually friendly, the service behind the food counter tends to be indifferent to customers and slow. We have, more than once, had our order either made incorrectly or missing items. We have learned to simply check our order before we leave, and they are always fine to remake whatever is wrong, but items being wrong/missing is a common occurrence. Overall, it's a decent spot when you need/want something fresh made, but don't want to sit down, but they definitely have some things they still need to work on.

They have some tables on the inside and they have an outside patio area. The parking is limited you can park on the street and then they have a very small driveway that can fit maybe two cars. The food is more buffet style however, you have someone on the other side, preparing it for you . I was kind of skeptical when I saw it presented as a buffet however, the rice was seasoned perfectly with the black beans, and the sweet plantains, just the right amount of sweetness, and the flan was perfection. The gentleman serving me was nice and assisted me with explaining each item . I will definitely be back for more of their delicious food. Cheers

There are daily specials as well as a regular menu. I opted to go with a small spinach salad, you can choose larger small, as well as a cup of tomato basil soup. The salad was magnificent and beautifully arranged, and the soup was delicious. The atmosphere is really nice and in the warmer weather there are seats out in the back and on the front porch. The women running this establishment are lovely and aim to please. We ordered at the counter and they brought our food out all at the same time , no small feet since there were about 12 of us. Will definitely return when I'm in the area.

Sunshine's Coffee Shop, located just off Carrier Circle, was founded by Patrick & Lorene Dadey in…read more1979 and has become a staple of the community since. They are a fast casual breakfast & lunch shop whose main selling point is they keep things simple and cheap. I've driven by Sunshine's many time, as it's on my way to work. I have gone twice now for breakfast. The first time, I got one of their sandwich specials with a bacon & ham omelet with cheese on a bagel. I've also tried a sausage, egg & cheese on a croissant, along with their home fries & hash browns. Here's the thing...nothing here is BAD. But it is bland. Sunshines is exactly what they market themselves as - fast, cheap and SIMPLE. Nothing is seasoned enough, their potatoes are slightly undercooked (as in very soft, no crisp to them, not raw), and even their meats don't seem to have much flavor to them. If all you're looking for is a VERY simple meal, Sunshine has you covered. If you're looking for something with some more flavor or creativity, it may not be the breakfast spot for you

I've actually thought about this review for a while because Sunshine is a spot that many tried &…read moretrue locals frequent. It's a lovely little spot especially if you are looking to get breakfast on the go but they do have limited seating. Depending on the time & day you arrive- the place may be packed or you may be able to get in & go. These are not things to keep you away but an honest acknowledgment that they work very hard to make you your order as quickly as possible but sometimes there are a lot of people who had the same idea as you to stop by. I've tried a few things there but I always come back to their breakfast sandwiches. They're made fresh. They have a variety of options. They always get handed to you hot as they are made to order. They usually have some form of doughnuts or even sweet options in the fridge- fruit, baked goods, pudding, etc. They have a great fridge selection of beverages like sodas or juice. They have very good fresh coffee there that to my experience is always hot. It's overall a great spot to grab a bite to-go & support local.
