I stopped by with a group of 6 on a Friday afternoon. When me and my friend stopped by there was no…read moreone at front so we stood around awkwardly for a bit before someone came over to bring us to our table. Walking through the restaurant was nice as the space was very large and the decor indoor was cozy and whimsical. Our server was nice throughout the meal. However, I did get a water glass that had marks on it that looked like someone just drank out of it and a crumb on the rim. I asked them if they could get me a clean cup and they ended up bringing the same one as the same mark and crumb were still there. For food, our table ordered a few items to share. We got: -CAULIFLOWER WINGS: The chutney/salsa on top of the fried cauliflower was nice and gave the item a little sour kick. However, the cauliflower itself was not cooked fully so not as soft as I wanted it to be. -SYRACUSE POUTINE: The appearance of the poutine was not the best. However, the gravy it came with was very flavorful and tasty. The potatoes themselves were not fried and were in wedge form but went well with the gravy. The small globs of melted cheese on top were a nice complement. -CAJUN SLIDERS: The slider compliments/sauce went well together but the sliders themselves had grill marks on it which gave a bitter bite to those parts of the slider. Additionally, the fried shrimp inside of the slider still had the tail on and so it was a bit of a surprise to bite into a full tail while eating a slider. All in all, a cute spot to see people but food had some hit or miss components.

First timer and everything was perfectly delicious!

I tried the Boo marshmallow iced coffee - this is a limited item here for October and I thought it was so fun, festive, and yummy! For pastries, I decided on a ham and cheese croissant and apple cheese danish and it was the most incredible dessert i've ever tried wow! I've never tried something like this before and now I will never stop thinking about it. The ham and cheese was ok compared to everything else, just very messy and flakey with the croissant. My friend got the almost croissant and said it was "amazing". I will definitely be back here many more times to try absolutely everything they have to offer! Everything came out super quick and the staff is friendly so that's always a bonus!

Cute coffee shop with amazing looking desserts, coffee, tea, breakfast and sandwiches. We stopped…read morein for coffee before we hit the road and were impressed with the selection of desserts. Unfortunately, the Americano and almond milk cappuccino were sub par. The Americano was weak and the cappuccino was weak and bitter. Very disappointing. We didn't taste them until we were already back in the car. Lots of seating inside and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish they could make a tastier and stronger cup of coffee.

When visiting new areas I always seek out a fun brunch-style breakfast joint and/or diner that…read moreseems to be popular with the locals and I recently came here when in Syracuse. I sat at the counter and my server was great... very friendly and happy I was there. I got there around 7:30AM and it was basically dead, but by the time I left, there was a steady line of folks coming in. Their menu has all the typicals that these places have, many things I enjoy. I tried their corned beef hash (which I requested well-done with jalapeños added), scrambled eggs with cheese, and I also got a side of their breakfast potatoes with sausage gravy on top. The food came out quickly and was piping hot & freshly made. The quantity of potatoes for a single side dish were HUGE! Definitely enough to share. The scrambled eggs were PERFECTLY made! I'm an egg snob, I never want any over-cooked egg visible (no brown) and these were perfectly colored and tasted great. The corned beef hash was good as well. Overall, I enjoyed this visit and I would most definitely return!

I got the sausage gravy over home fries for the first time and I have never had anything like it - it was warm and salty and had a nice crunch with the cooked home fries. The pancakes were obviously delicious as well. We got helped right away by an amazing server and our food was out within 15 minutes! There were a lot of people but the noise level was great and everyone seemed to be having a yummy and amazing time.

PLEASE OPEN A STORE IN BOULDER COLORADO I WOULD BE YOUR VEST COSTUMER!! Honestly, this place is so genius because the combo of waffles with the night time shows are so fun, it's so lively and an increadibly vibe. Not to mention the name?? I mean jenious, Funk n Waffles like amazing. Also shout out to all the workers, especially Lexi she's amazing and knows her stuff. Never would I have thought of getting a white mocha but this was so balanced, not too sweet, creamy, and goes perfectly with my waffle, which BY THE WAY can be made GLUTEN FREE ?! I'm in awe I will forever love and miss this place!!!!!!!! You are truly missing out if you don't hit this place up that's really on you

Another Take Out Thursday…read more If you asked me if I'd ever thought id have a chicken parm waffle id have been pretty sure id say no but I've never had funk n waffle so I figured if im gonna do this might as well go weird with it. The waffle is literally made of spaghetti like the pressed a pile of spaghetti into the waffle iron. The sauce is sweet with chunks of tomato which I like. The chicken parm piece was good but a little small. 2 entrees for $30 so reasonably priced. The people are very nice and thr various options mean of course we have to go back.

The amount of time, effort, and care that go into each menu item is impressive. For brunch, the…read morevariety is astounding for the size and the appearance of the place from the outside. At first the location seems less than promising, but inside the little touches of decor make for a charming, if not polished experience. It is still largely a bar that serves food, but the food is impressive in both quality and low price. The little details like in-house made desserts, house ranch dressing, and hand cut fries are a pleasant surprise. The organization behind staggered brunch seating lends itself well to good availability of items, freshness, and service. The menu includes frequently updated seasonal choices. This is also a LGBTQ+ bar. Brunch menus are regularly posted on Facebook, and the process for text message based reservations is convenient. Possibly one of the most surprisingly good restaurants in the greater Syracuse area.

Love it here! This…read moreplace is great. I love their lattes, smoothies and food options. They have salads, bowls and baked goods. I love their seating area. They have two rooms with couches and comfy chairs inside. They also have an outdoor patio. I love this place and always enjoy stopping here. I highly recommend.

I stopped by Cafe Blue after finding out that they also run the Blueberries & Lace food truck where…read moreI was able to try their delicious banana draft latte. I was pleasantly surprised by the decor, everything looks so adorable and clean and they also have a little merch area! There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a moderate but fast moving line that started at the door. We ordered a regular oat milk latte, an iced matcha latte and also grabbed one of their $1 "day old cookies" they had out. My husband said the oat milk latte had a great espresso to milk ratio and the "day old" banana split cookie did not taste stale at all and was delicious. My matcha was a bit on the lighter/mild side for the matcha taste and I'd probably get something different next time as their specialty drinks looked really tasty. I'm excited to have tried Cafe Blue and will definitely visit again!

Stopped at 12:15 on a Sunday, a little late and thus, some menu items were sold out. However, what…read morethey still had was very good. I had the Buck and my partner a sausage egg and cheese of which I forget the name. Both were very large and tasty. I'd like to try another sandwich next time I'm there as the spicy strawberry jam on the Buck was not to my personal preference. My partner enjoyed theirs thoroughly. We also ordered a s'mores cookie for later alongside a cold brew and OJ. 39 and change for two large sandwiches, two drinks, and a specialty cookie seems steep but for the quality I'd say it's worth it as a treat. The staff member at the window was incredibly friendly which was great- makes you feel like you're supporting good people by buying local. I'll go again and I think if it's not too far you should try it, too.

I keep meaning to branch out to different items like their sweet biscuits or potato wedges but love…read moretheir classics so much I just keep getting my faves. This is the type of place where you have to make sure you have time because they have a small staff and make everything with lots of care -- but the wait is worth it. The employees will bring your order right to your car when it's ready (if you don't want to wait at the window.) The Buck is one of my favorites. It has strawberry jelly and peppery cheese and is scrumptious. Often I like to eat it right away in the car, but it's wrapped in a foil later and does keep well if I go home. A very unique spot unlike anything in Syracuse and I'd recommend stopping by to try at least once -- even if you're not vegan or vegetarian!

I didn't realize they had a different menu for lunch and dinner so I was pleasantly surprised to see some new options than what I am used to. I had an espresso martini with peanut butter cold foam and I wish I could taste the pb but still delicious. My friend and I both ordered chicken and the pieces were huge and so delicious!! We had a reservation for a Friday night and i'm glad we did because the place was packed, which it normally is! We were even 15 mins late and they were super nice about it and had no problem keeping our table for us. All the staff are very friendly and can give an answer to any question on the menu very quickly. I really do like everything about the preserve and will keep coming back! It's also nice they have a parking lot and don't have to street park.

It's the main side on half of the menu items. The artwork is really nice. It took 45 minutes to get an appetizer....not sure how that happens, as they were not that busy and there is literally 15 people back in the kitchen. I waited 30 minutes for food and figured I would work on this review for the next 15 minutes while I still wait for salads. My wings that I ordered did not get made until the server realized they were not coming. The salads were good, kids complimented a salad! The wings were good too, kids enjoyed those. They adjusted the bill for the delay to their credit. Probably will never come here again but the staff works really hard in the front of the house.

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.
