If you are looking for a little pocket of charm near Skaneateles or Marcellus, NY, Milk House…read moreRoastery is your place. Nestled directly behind a silo inside a historic 1700s farm cellar, this family-run farm and roastery has been open for six years, offering an authentic country farm hideaway vibe. While they do not feature an espresso bar, their hot brewed coffee, iced coffee, and canned cold brew with oat milk are wonderful. I particularly enjoyed their iced coffee with cream and their housemade brown sugar nutmeg simple syrup--a recipe the owner and coffee master was more than happy to share after I admired it. ​They also carry a small but pleasantly unexpected selection of artisan foods from around the Finger Lakes area, including granola, shortbread cookies, pastas, specialty salts, and more. Plus, they sell their beans by the pound--beans which they source directly from coffee growers and roast weekly on-site. ​Additionally, following the farm's first dahlia show this September, I was able to purchase some of their dahlia seeds--which came complete with expert planting and transplanting advice from the owner. ​Overall, the pricing is fair, with the canned cold brews leaning slightly expensive, but in a pleasant, small-splurge kind of way. ​While there are tables available, the space is better suited for catching up with a small group of friends rather than setting up to work for hours. ​The hospitality is exceptional, and the entire experience feels deeply connected to the farm. Make the extra effort to stop here the next time you're traveling through the area! ​CAUTION: Check their website for hours before you go; they have fairly limited operating hours, so definitely plan ahead to stop by on your way to anywhere else in the area!

The cold brew was smooth and not at all bitter, and the lavender syrup had a great floral flavor (not artificial nor overpowering).

Syrups do not appear to be homemade. Their drinks mostly come in a 16 ounce or 24 ounce size so if you enjoy a higher coffee to milk ratio, then you would have to get a Cortado. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches available as well. There's no restroom inside the coffee shop itself. The closest one is on the second floor of the mall that the store is connected to. There is plenty of seating and outlets. However, this location tends to be extremely crowded. Louder atmosphere and relatively dark inside. Wi-Fi available. They do have rewards attached to your phone number there is a discount for healthcare workers however it's given inconsistently. Online ordering available and would recommend to avoid crowds. There is limited street parking or you can take the connective corridor bus 443 for free as a Syracuse student or employee.

It is such a cool concept idea as 2 of the locations are small drive thru, like a backyard shed size. I was confused trying to find it at first because looking it up I didn't see what it would look like. The options for drinks are as endless as if you walked in to a coffee shop and they even have some breakfast food and bakery items on certain days. I pulled up 20 min to closing and was a little worried but I'm so grateful they weren't cleaning and closing everything up yet. The employee was the sweetest and made my drink super quick. Their seasonal options all sound so good and look amazing, I got the headless horseman and subbed the pumpkin whip cream for pumpkin cold foam. They are definitely Instagram worthy coffees!

Started walking in this general direction and the wonderful aroma of coffee varieties drew me in!…read moreSome of the coffees are actually named after some of the actual Finger Lakes, so that's cool. Went up to the counter and asked the young man a couple of (what I thought were) easy questions and he seemed like he could care less what I was saying and didn't want to be there. He gave a vague answer that didn't really quite answer my question. My daughter ordered a coffee and asked for beans to be ground while I was thinking about what I wanted to order. He prepared hers and I asked for my order. In the meantime my daughter noticed that he had filled it and had not included the oat milk she had asked for and she asked again for that. He put it on the counter for her to add, but there was no room to really add it. She put in a little and then I added a little to mine as well. He had handed her the bag of beans while cashing us out and she noticed that they were not ground...as she had asked him to do prior...so she had to ask again. In the meantime she had to dribble some of her coffee into a garbage dispenser so she could put the lid back on and drink from the cup. So, overall, the coffee smelled and tasted great, but the service was poor. The guy was not trying to be friendly or helpful at all. I get he probably didn't really want to be working, but he was. Sometimes you need to just accept it, drink a cup of your own coffee, wake up, and at least try to be "present" and accommodating. Luckily we are very easy-going people and just rolled with it without complaint. Until now I guess. I absolutely hate to put negative things in a review, but that was our real experience. Will I go again? Sure. I always give second and usually third chances. People have off days. My challenge to this young man is that next time someone shows up, actually say, "How can I help you?" and actually mean it and then be helpful. This is all we ask. The smell and taste of the product will sell itself and bring people in. I'd love to update this review in the future with glowing comments!
