    Greek coffee
    Angela R.

    This cafe is located inside a converted house in the Hawley Green neighborhood, near Laci's. I was able to find parking on the street easily. The inside is so charming, like a gorgeous living room. There are counter style seats and tables. There were also some tables on the porch, and apparently they have a back patio too. The decorations are really lovely and calming. Their menu has a variety of coffees, with some smoothies, and there are also some baked goods. I went for the Spanakopita, because hello, how could I not. They write where they source all their baked goods from and the Spanakopita came from someone at the local Greek Orthodox church, so you know it had to be good, and it was. It's served cold but it was so salty and savory. They also serve Greek coffee. Not sure if any other spots in Syracuse do. Greek coffee is a concentrated coffee, like a sludgy espresso. The staff will ask if you want sugar before they make it because you have to add it during the brewing process. I used to work at a Turkish restaurant and drank my fair share of Turkish coffee which is very similar, and can I tell you, this Greek coffee HIT. It was made absolutely perfectly. They struck the exact balance so that it was rich, not bitter, and just the right amount of sweet. They serve the coffee and baked goods in the most gorgeous and ornate cups and plates. It's worth coming to feel fancy and snap a picture of your fancy tea cups. A note about the ambiance - it is also a Christian Orthodox bookstore and run by folks who are super into the faith. There is some religious art on the walls. However, even if you're not really religious you can feel comfortable, and the vibes are welcoming. Just something to keep in mind so you're not surprised, since that might catch you off guard if you don't expect it. I will also warn that they have very lively and loud Greek music playing, so if you're coming to get some work done and that's not your jam, be sure to bring earbuds. The WiFi was strong, and reached onto the porch which was a plus. Love that inside, they had hooks under the tables for your bags. So convenient. The staff was really friendly and gave great service. A cool, cozy, special spot worth checking out!

    My sister wanted to check this place out and I'm glad we went! So cozy inside and the choices of lattes were amazing. I had a hard time choosing but went for cinnamon maple latte. It was delicious I really loved the fact that it was served in a ceramic mug. I think coffee tastes better in a mug than paper container. They also have a bookstore upstairs and more seating. The barista was so friendly and I asked how long they have been in the location and he said 7 months. I will definitely be back when in the area because I love the vibe and the coffee.

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.

    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.
