Cake Bar - The Cafe is an adorable stop in downtown Syracuse…read more The interior is really modern, inviting, and has gentle music playing. There is always a pleasant vibe to it and often there are people chatting or working on laptops. Employees are always really nice. I really enjoy the Pandan Matcha. Its so hard to find pandan drinks in the area! I find the drinks are often really sweet and so its important to order them with no sugar or less sugar. The boba is okay although the straws they have been using lately are too small for them so they lose some of the shape and correct texture. A random thing I love about their drinks are they used a crushed ice, it makes it feel appropriately portioned to the drink itself. Although I am not a coffee person, the cafe lattes are my partner's favorite in the area and they are highly customizable. It's also nice that they offer a carrier when you have a few drinks to-go. Interestingly, the cake and desserts are the weaker part for me for Cake Bar. They are often pretty dry for my tastes. My favorite has been the potato chip cookies, but I have only seen them a few times. The chicken wing dip buns are pretty good and filling though and are worth trying! Overall its a great stop and a nice place to bring friends when they stop by or to hang out whilst doing some work.

I'm not a bubble tea fan, so I can't speak to that, but I do quite enjoy their ramen bowls and have had them on multiple occasions. The standout for me is the miso base with chicken. The broth is piping hot, the green onion flavor is awesome, and it's a chock full of ingredients. The interior is unique with big, open windows and some funky booths. My main complaint here is that service tends to be a bit slow. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time and then eating there once you pick it up or just doing take out. Ordering through the counter can take awhile, even if it's quiet in there. Happy to continue to support them!

I wanted to make sure to share out since they have been working on opening for awhile and they are certainly back better than ever.

Very quick turn around which was great probably 15 minutes. The aesthetic of the store is adorable powder pink seating and lots of stuffed animals. The employees are super nice and friendly too. My milk tea was delicious and the sweet treat I needed, loved the cold foam they put on it and I got to decide the sugar level which I chose 50% and that was still very sweet. The rice noodles were delicious, perfect chewy consistency and great flavor. There was lots of shrimp and pork, I gave half to my boyfriend. Highly recommend if you're looking for something quick and easy but want something different from the usual chain.

We don't love the tapioca balls in general and usually opt for the lychee jelly. I like that you can conveniently order on the app in advance and have it waiting for you to pickup. It's always been ready; no wait. In the app it is also easy to customize and choose sweetness level and ice cube amount. They even run deals like buy a drink on national boba day and get 1 free the next week. My other kid has found they like the strawberry milk slush and now it's their go-to.

One guy that even works there agrees that it's way too much! He said he works there but just hates going there to get some so he orders and HE says it's way too much.

It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.
