When I order online for drive up they will typically bring it out without you having to call. The atmosphere is nice. My baby really enjoys the baby yoda over the espresso machine. Haha lots to look at!

I've been on a mission to find coffee shops in Syracuse that are open late enough for me to unwind…read moreafter work, and Milano had been on my list for a while. After finally visiting, I can honestly say the pictures don't do this place justice. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and somehow elevated at the same time. It felt less like a coffee shop and more like hanging out in a friend's beautifully decorated home. I spent a few hours there editing a YouTube video, and it was exactly the type of environment I've been searching for. Since it was my first visit, I wanted to try a few different things. I ordered the strawberry vanilla matcha, which was surprisingly good. It was a little sweeter than I expected, but the flavor was excellent. I'm not usually a matcha girl, but I'd definitely order it again. Their menu is extensive, with several drink options, flavored matchas, pastries, cheesecakes, and even the viral fruit pastries that I saw several customers purchasing while I was there. One thing that really stood out to me was that they actually offer food. I ordered a jerk beef patty and a jumbo apple fritter, both of which were delicious. They also had other savory options available, including spinach pie and additional patties. As someone who arrived hungry, I appreciated having more substantial options than the typical coffee shop pastry selection. The staff were wonderful. They mentioned that they love welcoming new guests, and it definitely showed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and patient while I stood there trying to decide what I wanted to order. I never felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. Since Milano is located in the heart of downtown Syracuse, you'll most likely need to park on the street. If you're visiting before 6 p.m., be prepared to pay for parking. Overall, I had a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the customer service. I'll definitely be back, and Milano has quickly become one of the strongest contenders in my search for the perfect late-night coffee shop.

I ordered one of their Long Island everything bagels with cream cheese, which was DELISH! I was excited to try one of their Frappuccinos, not many places in downtown have those on their menu and I love a blended frozen drink!! This one was a little underwhelming, and felt watered down, but they were very busy so maybe that was why. The place was really cute, so I'll definitely give it another try!

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.

The girls working Sunday morning were all so sweet and my coffee was ready super quick and good price ($5). I would love to come here more often.

Loved it here! We love their coffee!…read more I'm always looking for new coffee spots. They have multiple locations around the city and this is one of their newer locations. They have lots of drink options, snacks, sandwiches and lunch items. There is plenty of seating and an outdoor patio as well. I love it here!

I was excited to see a coffee house I wasn't familiar with listed on Google Maps when I was…read moresearching for places to visit during a recent trip to Skaneateles. Open for about a year now, Cream & Coffee is trendy coffee and ice cream shop right on Genovese Street. What makes it extra special is that they make their own house-made ice cream! There were three flavors available during my visit--vanilla, cookies and cream, and chocolate peanut butter cup. I decided on a chocolate peanut butter cup affogato--the ultimate way to get my caffeine fix and a sweet treat all in one delicious cup. I enjoyed the peanut butter chocolatey flavor with the espresso, though, I admit, a richer flavor would have held up better with the coffee. I still enjoyed it immensely, and I look forward to trying another on my next visit, perhaps with a seasonal flavor! The space itself is bright, modern, and welcoming, featuring tables well-suited for sitting, working, or writing. Best of all, there is a huge picture window in back that looks right out onto Skaneateles Lake and the pier, providing an inspirational view while you enjoy your goodies or work. The owner and ice cream maker was running the coffee bar during my visit, and chatting with her made the experience even more delightful. She shared that she has been making seasonal flavors, including a pumpkin. I wish I could have tried that one affogato! Whether you're a tourist, summer regular, or local, or you're looking to grab a sweet dessert, sip a handcrafted coffee while shopping, or find a quiet spot to focus with a view, this charming new spot is worth a stop.
