So I came to South City Coffee to get some "quick coffee." I got the horchata latte, which was delicious, but my brother and cousin decided they wanted to get some special pour over that takes a while. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, so I don't know about these things. The ambiance is great. Modern looking building, cool coffee spot and has a bar connected to it. Lots of different seating, outdoor options. Nice flowers. Music's a little loud, but besides that, great place. Stop by. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink during the recent "open house" tour of iconic buildings in the city. A perfect refresher. I ordered a Biere de Miele (Belgian style honey beer) and my wife had a strawberry forward cocktail. As an aside, this is the best bar in the city for craft cocktails, and they are only $13 each! read more

I was driving upstate for a work conference and had lunch in the Salt City Market. I wanted some coffee after and saw that the Salt City Bar has a cafe portion. Staff was friendly and professional. Had an excellent Costa Rican pour over coffee! Comfortable seating area. Would definitely return! read more

My friend and I stopped in after strolling the art festival. Attentive service in a modern vibe bar. Good selection of wine, cocktails, and beer. The Cosmo taste and presentation for the win. Not sure if they offer food or if you can purchase in the market and enjoy with your beverages. Outdoor seating is available, that is part of the market but beverages can be enjoyed on patio and they feature live music and other events. read more

Today we visited The Salt City Bar / Coffee at The Salt City Market in downtown Syracuse. Cool atmosphere but could use some background music to add to the vibe. Service was fast, professional and friendly. Ordered a Latte and was very good in a large beautiful ceramic cup. Recommended !! read more

A cute little coffee shop right across from the downtown Marriott with a super fun, funky vibe. There's a coffee counter at the end of the Salt City Bar, and it's attached to a small food court featuring international cuisine. I ordered a vanilla latte, which was delicious, and another in our group had a pour-over that was clearly made with care. The staff was friendly and attentive, and while service is thoughtful and unhurried, it's not a quick grab-and-go spot--definitely best when you have time to sit back and enjoy the experience. read more

Salt City Bar does a lot for the community. It is a cozy place, and the drinks are nearly always amazing. The people working are a bit hit or miss, my friends and I go a lot and in the beginning were treated strangely. Sometimes they close early and encourage you to leave no matter how big your party is. That said. The drinks are very good, and the more we go the better they get each time and get more used to seeing us as regulars. They work really hard on atmosphere and giving customers an experience with thier drinks. read more

I love how each location of Salt City Coffee has its own distinct personality, and the SCM one is certainly a vibe. During the day it's a coffee shop, and at night it transitions into a bar. I've only been to the cafe part, though the fun events and the gorgeous cocktails in the bar certainly catch my eye on social and it's definitely on my to do list. There's a good amount of tables inside and more outside on the patio. Drinks are good. The atmosphere is buzzy. Lots of folks working or meeting or just hanging out and catching up. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I love that the coffee bar opens earlier than the market. There were lots of people in getting coffee, tea and pastries. Today was just a coffee day for me so I wanted to try their cold draft Ube and Oat milk. It was amazing with a slightly nutty and vanilla flavor which was enhanced with oat milk. The day was perfect, so sunny but not real hot, and the outside seating area is beautiful. Comfortable seating enclosed with modern metal fencing and lots of fresh flowers in pots.**I left pictures of the outside seating before it was enclosed** read more

What a great experience! Located downtown, within the Salt City Market, the Salt City Coffee and Bar has an extensive and unique list of drinks (both alcoholic and a variety of coffee drinks). The baristas are extremely helpful when describing their coffee selection and even gave me samples of their drip coffee to give me a better idea of what I may enjoy. I ended up picking a pourover, which was made with care and had a really nice complex flavor! I ended up coming back a few days later to try their popular cereal milk latte - which was a fun treat! read more

I always have great service when I come here. I think the drinks are reasonably priced and a lot of care goes into making them. They switch out their cocktail menu seasonally which I enjoy trying new things. It is a great space with lots of seating. From casual furniture, to high top tables and regular tables. The cortado tasted delicious. It is a great addition to the Salt City Market. They also have live music and other fun events through the year. read more

Came in for a coffee drink and left with a bag of the Tanzania Barrel-Aged #11. I have plenty of beans at home but I missed the partnership with Brewery Ardennes (one of my favorite breweries in CNY) last year...I ran all around trying to find it and no luck. So I made sure to hop on it this time. It's a really great bean, which the employees recommended as a pour over. That's how I've been making it and no complaints. Just wish that with purchase of beans you'd get a free small coffee or something! read more

Great place to grab a drink downtown. Located inside the salt city market. It is open later than the market, when the market closes, a gate comes down to separate the bar and the market. This place is truly where to go for artisanal cocktails. The bartenders really put a lot of work into making the cocktails and it shows. They have one of the best espresso martinis in town. Plenty of space at the bar, around the bar area and there's even outdoor seating with fire pits. Perfect place to hang out and get drinks with friends read more

Walked in on a quiet Tuesday late morning, and ordered right away. Decided to take a seat outside in the glorious sun to enjoy our treats. The service was good, at this time of day it was basically self-serve. The bagels with cream cheese were good and so was our coffees. In the photos below you'll see a latte, 2 bagels with cream cheese, a shot of espresso which was served with seltzer, and an iced chai. Thank you Salt City, when I'm in the area I'll be back! read more

Super tasty cocktails. Espresso martini is by far one of the best in Syracuse. The bar has a great ambiance, cozy vibes and plenty of seating when you consider its collaboration with the market. Cocktails are priced well, not crazy expensive.. you won't feel guilty getting a second. Bar tenders are pretty quick, even when there is a line. But sometimes you have to be patient because it can get crowded. read more

Im really not trying to be a jerk. You can see though my posts that this is rare to say. But the bartender here at salt city coffee might be the most pretentious and unwelcoming person I have ever been around in my 7000 mile food tour last year and now 2000 miles this year. The person with the hat and mustache yelled at anyone who sat at the chair that was too close to his register (first me who he told to move down then the next person who tried to approach the bar...just move the chair the ‍). . And while ordering with the super nice guy at the bar, he cut us off and berated me that my phone notes weren't in good enough view for him while I was showing the guy who was taking care of me. It was so bad that I almost walked out without a sip of my beer flight. I never felt so unwelcome at a food or beer stop. read more

Beer recommendation: Wintertime Spice Ale It's markets itself as a bar with a twist, but it's got no twist. Maybe if you've never been out to eat or drink? It's a decent selection of beer and cocktails, nothing extraordinary. Cocktails tend to be syrup bombs without nuance. Oddly, it's a selection of pretty common beers to see around. This isn't a bar for beer lovers, many selections are for juicy ipa fans and dessert sour lovers. If you seek complexity, find a real beer bar. Tucked adjacent/in to the Market, it's often empty, but the staff still seems busy. If you are looking to converse, they leave you alone, maybe too much. It just feels odd. A vibe that says "this is a gig" in a space that has the potential to be warm and inviting but feels cold and technical. It's a fine spot, especially if you want to eat at the market, but there are too many other choices to make this the desired destination. read more

I am so obsessed with this place and so sad I live all the way on the other coast! The Valencia Cold Brew (with oat milk) is out of this world and the avocado bagel was delish!!! I didn't get a chance to taste the Cereal Milk Latte but excited to in the event I'm ever back in Syracuse. Ambiance is beautiful and puts one in the mood to stay there all day. read more

The cornerstone to the Salt City Market. Pursue a variety of craft and regular beers, wines, and coming soon... "Alcohol"! This is a nice set up and a great place to lounge, have some conversation, and even walk around with the drink in your hand. Almost like normal life!? Tried both of the sangrias, white and red. Good flavor(s), fair portions, and a nice mix of fruit, alcohol and ice. read more

From classic cocktails to more innovative ones, I'm never disappointed! read more

Nice feel and good music. It was cozy and the atmosphere was fantastic. The service and bartender was great. I have to admit I was misled by the post on IG made by Sinbun. They had a sampler box posted saying stop down between 9p-11pm a few people asked about but wasn't on the late night menu? We're here now and it's 9:11 so unfortunately it never was it just appeared as such. We tried the buffalo popcorn chicken and I ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch potato chip contraption lol. We also had their drink menu choices of course! I had a Straw Hat which was basically an old fashion with a leaf inside and my hubby got a Fire Walker which he seemed to really enjoy! We will be returning every once in a while of course because we are foodies and it's our thing to get out and enjoy Syracuse whenever possible. read more

Love the vibe here. Bright, open & airy, casual. The bar is beautiful and well stocked with a nice selection of liquors and beers. There is something for everyone here as they also have some of the best coffee in town - especially the iced coffee. We had some amazing, well-crafted cocktails. Then enjoyed the foods of our choice from the market. This was my first visit to the bar section and already look forward to my next visit. There are only a few great places for original craft cocktails in the 'Cuse and this is right up there. Cheers! read more
