I have driven by this place several times and wanted to try this cute coffee shop. Finally got a…read morechance to try. While, it was a cute artsy place was really turned off by litter box smell and a sink in main area filled with dirty dishes. Not sure if there were cats there but would have helped to let customers know who may have cat allergies. Coffee and Tea drinks were OK but definitely nothing special. Had the potential to be something great.

While visiting Syracuse I vowed to try a locally owned coffee shop, so we decided to try this one…read moreand we were so happy we did. We both ordered bagels, I had a bagel with cream cheese and my boyfriend ordered a bagel with butter, he ordered drip coffee and I ordered a latte. The bagels were really delicious, they were soft and delectable. My latte was really good, I added some coconut syrup to it and it was just chef's kiss! I was very pleased. I'm off caffeine for a while so that was a way to go out lol. The staff members were kind and helpful, the shop itself is very cute and there is ample seating. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stop by.

I love Recess. It's…read morealways a great place to stop for coffee and a snack. I love this location too. There is plenty of seating here. And it's relatively a quiet space to work. There are a variety of drinks, pastries, food options and merch available here too. I'd highly recommend coming here. I love their lattes and bagels here. I can't wait to go back again soon.

I ordered a 10 inch expresso cheesecake for my daughter's birthday. Forgot to take a picture of the…read morefull cheesecake. It's got so much flavor, a creamy texture. Just delightful.

They delivered it to our table and then brought fresh small glasses of water, no ice. Perfect. The chairs are also works of art, they swivel in a subtle way. Simple but effective.

My family and I stopped here for coffee on our way back from visiting colleges. The shop is located…read morein an old bank, which gives it a really unique look and feel. I ordered a cappuccino, which was just okay, my wife had an iced coffee and thought it was okay as well, and my kids ordered hot chocolate, which they described as "mid." I had pretty high expectations, but the drinks were underwhelming, so despite the memorable setting, this felt more like a novelty stop than a coffee shop I'd go out of my way to revisit.

My family and I arrived at Slyvan Beach today. We were full from lunch still but wanted a sweet…read moretreat. We first stopped at a candy store thinking they had ice cream there. They didn't sell any ice cream but they told us about What's the Scoop. We walked down a little ways and ran right into it. It was busy! So many people out enjoying the night and their sweet treats. There were a good amount of tables to sit at. I appreciate the big umbrellas! You can enjoy your cold treat without the hot sun beating down on you. There were big menu boards and lists of ice cream available. There are so many options! There's ice cream, Dole Whip, milk shakes, sundaes. So many goodies to pick from. There was also a non dairy cookies and cream available. The cherry Italian ice listed so that was my pick. My daughter got a small scoop of brownie batter. I ordered a kid's scoop of the cherry Italian ice. Holy cow! I thought my daughter ordered a double scoop but it was their small portion. My kid's scoop would blow competitors out of the water. My scoop was huge for a kid's scoop. In most ice cream joints, my scoop would be considered a small. The brownie batter was very chocolatey! It was very creamy was well. The cherry Italian ice was very vibrant in color. It was also very flavorful. We sat at a cute table on the sidewalk next to the street and enjoyed our goodies. This town is something you see in Hallmark movies and this ice cream joint fits right in it. It's cute, local and they serve some yummy goodies. The staff is really sweet. It's hard not to fall in love with this place. I look forward having goodies here all week.

I went here with my aunt, two cousins, and my sister.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and great. This place tends to get busy, although the line moves fast. There is no indoor seating at this location, the seating is outside. The area does get packed. It is a pet-friendly area, which is good. Overall, a nice ambiance. My aunt did feel it was more on the pricier side which is why I deducted a star. The great thing is everyone enjoyed the ice cream, we just wish the ice cream was homemade.

Cute aesthetic inside…read more I got a creme brûlée for $4 and a card for $5. I thought the creme brûlée was good and they do freshly brûlée the top. Some of the cake slices looked expensive at around $10 but that can be typical for some fancier bakeries just be aware. Some other prices pictured - $8 tiramisu cup, $7 apple crisp, etc. I look forward to coming back and trying more. They have many cute cards for sale as well as teas, coffee, earrings, magnets, stickers, and other merch. There's a clear Vietnamese influence as they offer some Lays chips flavors usually sold in Asia and some Vietnamese print postcards. They have free wifi and a restroom available. Plenty of outlets available - seems like it would be a good place to study as there were many people studying and they are open to 10pm on some weekdays. Unsure about the parking situation since I walked.

First visit to this location and I believe Franklin Square is one of the nicest little areas in…read moreSyracuse. The cafe was slow upon our arrival and I ordered a small Cappuccino ($5.94) and it was excellent. Location has a small outdoor patio which is very nice and the inside is beautiful with the brick walls and large windows. The only reason this wasn't a 5* review is the service we received. When someone is waiting on you and their not paying attention to you or your order, too busy restocking cup lids etc. Asking you to repeat yourself and not even looking at you.... that just takes away from the experience. .

Inside they had some listings for classic drinks as well as some specials . Being a fan of blueberry, I had to get that special. It was a hot day so I got it cold.

Both I and my partner got paninis, which took about 15 minutes, which felt like a bit too long for a counter service place, though I understand that paninis take time. The BLT panini was a bit greasy, but overall the flavor was good. The Chick-fil-a panini was not as greasy, but overall underwhelming. It was served in a classic American basket with chips, which felt out of place for a Cafe inspired by Italy. They primarily serve pastries, but I have never tried any of them. The coffee was very good... on Google this is the first place that pops up if you search for affogato in the area but they do NOT serve affogato, which I knew coming in due to having been here before, but just putting this in here in case anyone else is looking for an affogato spot! The Cafe is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking... doesn't feel very pedestrian friendly but there is a beautiful terrace for customers which adds to the European vibe.
