    The Lake Effect
    Summer C.

    Really enjoyed my bowl from here. I got the Lake Effect (coconut base, mango, almonds, honey) and added bananas and chia seeds. All bowls come with granola which is nice. I think all açaí places are overpriced but this bowl was super yummy!!

    Wow I am very impressed. This shop opened a few days ago on the hill, which was a great idea. I think this might be the best one in cuse. Good size portion for only $10. Lots of options to choose from with an extensive menu or you can build your own. The granola does not contain any nuts. Fruit was very fresh. I loved the coconut base. I haven't seen a shop offer that. It's a coconut banana taste. Also their bases aren't as soupy as the other shops and I think I prefer it that way. This shop is going to be a hit. I hope they can keep up.

    A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. The cashier was very sweet and the place itself is small and cute and quaint. They assume you are taking your order to go because I wasn't asked & the tables weren't cleaned. When I sat down for a moment to take a picture they didn't seem fazed so maybe there is no difference. I have to admit the fresh juice wasn't tasty in fact kind of gross but I drank it anyway for 7.50 ( I got melon Hydrate) - the smoothie was delish and guilt free because of the ingredients. I also got a create your own salad and that was tasty. Will be returning when I do another fruit and veggie diet!

    First time coming here and it was excellent! For only being open for a week, they have everything organized and well staffed. This is the only açaí bowl shop in Syracuse. Pricing is not high and very comparable to other shops (less expensive than the açaí bowl place in Cicero). This was the best tasting acai bowl I've ever had. They have bowls you can choose from, or do a build your own! The fruit is very fresh. I waited less than 5 minutes for it as well. The interior of the shop is cute and gives off great vibes. All workers were friendly and explained the menu well. They have it well organized and have no cross contamination for typical allergies. Fantastic place and location! Will be returning.

    My favorite is the coconut base, which I've yet to find at any of the other spots in town.

I found myself with some work to do on a Saturday morning and decided to swing by. There's on street parking on the block it's on and surrounding blocks. There's also an abandoned store across the street with a small lot, which is where I wound up parking. The space is small but I didn't have any trouble finding a seat, though I imagine that might be a different case later in the day or during peak study time for the students. I got an ube iced coffee special with oat milk, and impulsively ordered the breakfast burrito too. I figured if they have shirts advertising the burrito, it must be good. The decor is very trendy and chic and well-curated, and you'll feel super hip hanging out here. The coffee was alright but my shot was a bit on the bitter side - assuming this was just a one-off. The breakfast burrito lived up to the hype. Fluffy eggs, perfectly crispy pressed tortilla, a flavorful aioli generously slathered all over the plate. Definitely one of the places to come (if not THE place) in Syracuse if you want a breakfast burrito. Unfortunately for me, the WiFi was down when I went, so I couldn't actually do my work and didn't stay long. Womp womp. Perhaps unavoidable, but definitely not ideal for a coffee shop. I wish I'd brought a book with me that day or had more time just to spend, because I'd say this spot is great for silent reading and unplugging more than working or socializing. Worth checking out, for the aesthetics and the tasty egg burritos.

    Cake Bar - The Cafe is an adorable stop in downtown Syracuse…read more The interior is really modern, inviting, and has gentle music playing. There is always a pleasant vibe to it and often there are people chatting or working on laptops. Employees are always really nice. I really enjoy the Pandan Matcha. Its so hard to find pandan drinks in the area! I find the drinks are often really sweet and so its important to order them with no sugar or less sugar. The boba is okay although the straws they have been using lately are too small for them so they lose some of the shape and correct texture. A random thing I love about their drinks are they used a crushed ice, it makes it feel appropriately portioned to the drink itself. Although I am not a coffee person, the cafe lattes are my partner's favorite in the area and they are highly customizable. It's also nice that they offer a carrier when you have a few drinks to-go. Interestingly, the cake and desserts are the weaker part for me for Cake Bar. They are often pretty dry for my tastes. My favorite has been the potato chip cookies, but I have only seen them a few times. The chicken wing dip buns are pretty good and filling though and are worth trying! Overall its a great stop and a nice place to bring friends when they stop by or to hang out whilst doing some work.

    Food is pretty tasty, servers help you with your order promptly, and it is absolutely gorgeous and…read moresuch a fun spot to take friends or have a cute dessert/sweets/drinks date. My absolute favorite drink is their toasted coconut taro milk tea.
