Probably the best 'cold cut' roast beef sandwich I've ever had, so hard not to give 5 stars…read more I put 'cold cut' this way since it's cold cut in the truest sense of the word, but it is not processed deli meat. They literally prepare their own roast beef in advance (and not cooked beyond medium either) and then slice and serve throughout the day. Aside from that, fantastic fresh bun, incredible horseradish mayo and fried onions. Massive size too that you'll probably want to consider splitting and still have no concerns about being hungry. I think I had one sweet when I was here and it was pretty good, but you need to be buying this sandwich when you're in town. I think they said the pork and chicken are also roasted in house.

It is a smaller bakery/Café so not a ton of seating however there is some available for a quick bite. Cute little donut, decorations around on the walls too! I got two different types of scones as well as a breakfast sandwich. I was starving, and it tasted delicious, however, it would've been nice if the sandwich could come with something small on the side like fruit, salad, or garnish of any sort. The sandwich itself was on a smaller side, but it was still delicious nevertheless.

My comment is specifically about the dessert menu. Very…read moredisappointing offerings. The "German Chocolate Cake" was an almost total fraud. The cake was dark chocolate, probably made from a mix, rather than from the German's Sweet Chocolate which is not only traditional but required if it is to be called "German" and be taken seriously, and I do take my baked goods and pastries seriously. Calling it "German" in the first place bastardizes it and should have been the "red flag" that told me to eliminate it as a choice. German's sweet chocolate would have produced a cake with a totally different flavor, color and texture. The traditional coconut/pecan custard between the layers and on the top layer was hardly noticeable. The flavor was completely overwhelmed by the heavy gloppy substance that was probably meant to be chocolate frosting. I could have ordered one of the several offerings with apples but I can make those at home. There was nothing unique or enticing on the menu even though our server had informed us that there were new items. Cake on one's birthday is such a treat. This one was more like an ironic joke...should have simply ordered ice cream.

The side of mashed potatoes was buttery, creamy goodness. We liked the food so much that we decided to go back the next day for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast plates.

I would say the one downfall is how hard parking can be between 11-1pm. However it doesn't stop me from coming. Their employees are the kindest!

I love their seasonal drink offerings and their regular menu is amazing as well. Their pesto bowl is great, dans hangover is good quick fix, and their bagel sandwiches any of them are good. To give you perspective, I start eating before I even think of taking a picture

From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in a trendy, upscale-casual atmosphere beautifully inspired by Frida Kahlo. We kicked things off with the Triple Dipper for the table--a giant basket of warm, fresh tortilla chips served with salsa roja, guacamole, and queso, with the guacamole and queso being absolute standouts. For my main, I ordered the Ensalada Verde and a slightly citrusy kale salad tossed with seasoned tortilla strips and extra pepitas. It was remarkably well-balanced, perfectly dressed, very tasty, and visually lovely, too! Thr service and atmosphere truly made the entire evening. Our server was friendly and attentive, effortlessly accommodating our request to split the bill three ways without missing a beat. And, even with the bustling atmosphere and the incredible amount of vibrant, intricate decor packed into the space, the restaurant was remarkably clean and well-maintained. It is always impressive to see a spot that has been open for a while keep up such pristine standards. We wrapped up our meal by sharing an order of churros--six hot, chewy sticks served with a spicy chocolate dipping sauce and whipped cream. The chocolate had a serious, wonderful kick to it, and the whipped cream was a lifesaver for balancing out the spice for those of us who love more heat than we can actually handle. Whether you're dropping in for one of their many margaritas or a scorpion bowl or enjoying a full, three-course meal, I highly recommend eating here while visiting Skaneateles!
