Got the lil piggy (bacon, egg sausage) on an everything bagel. It was delicious but prefer the exterior of the bagel to be more crispy. I also bought their jalapeno cream cheese. It is a whipped cream cheese that is fantastic (mild to medium heat). There are three tables and a small counter area which weren't very crowded if you want to eat there

The creekside matcha was decent, good color, not overly sweet. It lacked a little of the oomph I look for in a good matcha, it was a little light on flavor. Still it is rare to find a place that uses real matcha in the area and not just matcha sugar. Service was nice and fast! Really pleasant.

I was looking for a coffee shop in Syracuse that had a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere and stayed…read moreopen later than most cafes, so I decided to check out Recess. 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.

Always love my Recess coffee & whatever else I have had. Cookies & fresh made are always different…read more& delish

Stopped by to study at this coffee shop…read more Ordered the maple latte which I enjoyed iced at their wescott location. Here I ordered it hot and found it overly sweet and the milk improperly steamed (dry cappuccino foam, no microfoam). There's seating for about 10 between four tables and also 3 barstools. A few more tables outside as well. Bathroom in the back with door code. Wifi with password. There are outlets at the tables but unfortunately some of them aren't working. Tends to echo, probably not an ideal place to take a meeting or phone call. Paid parking available across the street (see pictures). Service while ordering was average. However one worker came over about 10 minutes to close and awkwardly gestured for me and another customer to leave which I found odd. Note that overall it is much smaller than their Wescott location and they close much earlier as well. Hope to try again in the future with better results.

A bit hard to find (note: I did not see the sign outside the building I was too focused on Apple…read moreMaps) but so worth it! I visited during my lunch break before a meeting, service was quick and the bagel sandwich was delicious. A little messy to eat but I like that it was filled to the brim. The staff is very friendly.

He made it sound like I was inconveniencing him since he had 4 people in line including myself, who had been patiently waiting. Couldn't tell ya how the food was since I have no desire to even try it at this point due to the disrespect. Once he finally "got around" to getting me a SMALL styrofoam cup of water I was reminded on how he "sells" bottles of water right there in the cooler. Buddy, you work in an office that has pregnant people. Water isn't gonna cost you a thing. Unreal
