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!

Great coffee. It's simple, strong, and reasonably priced (plain coffee, that is - I can't speak to…read morethe specialty drinks). It's nice enough inside, but hard to hold a conversation with the noise/echo. The service is usually fine. Food is where I think they drop off a bit. There's a lack of places to wait, so if you order with the intention of taking food to go, you're going to shuffle around while people try to get past you until your order is ready. The food I've had has mostly been a miss. A bacon egg and cheese on a bagel was so bland, I didn't finish it - it tasted like a steamed supermarket bagel with pre-fab egg product and box bacon - like something you'd get at a Holiday inn breakfast or suchlike. Muffins are so saturated with oil/fat, it's hard to get enjoy them - I got a blueberry muffin and the plastic wrap was coated in oil. When I opened it up and touched the muffin - same. I decided not to eat it, so I squeezed a portion with a paper towel - it would make, as Dr. Nick from the Simpsons would say, a "window to weight gain." So - long story short - come for the coffee, food at your own discretion!

As per usual, great coffee and great experience! Staff, as always, were patient and helpful!…read more I ordered a cold brew with oat milk and lavender syrup, and it was delicious! The cold brew was smooth and not at all bitter, and the lavender syrup had a great floral flavor (not artificial nor overpowering).

Syrups do not appear to be homemade. Their drinks mostly come in a 16 ounce or 24 ounce size so if you enjoy a higher coffee to milk ratio, then you would have to get a Cortado. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches available as well. There's no restroom inside the coffee shop itself. The closest one is on the second floor of the mall that the store is connected to. There is plenty of seating and outlets. However, this location tends to be extremely crowded. Louder atmosphere and relatively dark inside. Wi-Fi available. They do have rewards attached to your phone number there is a discount for healthcare workers however it's given inconsistently. Online ordering available and would recommend to avoid crowds. There is limited street parking or you can take the connective corridor bus 443 for free as a Syracuse student or employee.

What a cute local coffee shop! Stopped in to get a nice pick me up and get some work done. I saw on…read moretheir IG that they were promoting their summer menu which offered some coffee and matcha drinks with summer camp themed names. During my first stop, I tried the Lakeside Lavender Matcha which has a lavender syrup from the local lavender farm, Farmstead 1868. The standout, of course had to be that lavender syrup. I wish I had more of it since it compliments that earthy taste of matcha. But the drink was too milk forward for my preference. However, I did go back the next day and tried the Bear Scouts which was a cold brew with honey, vanilla, and a cold foam with cinnamon. I didn't notice until after I left that I didn't get the Teddy Graham on top. However, the cold brew was strong and smooth. It wasn't too sweet and definitely a great pick me up before my drive to the airport. The atmosphere is super cute inside even with the fireplace and the LED sign. The coffee shop is connected to the diner and also has some local products for sale. I'm already planning my fall trip back to upstate NY!

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. .

There are several tables, which are close together. As long as there aren't many other customers it's comfortable. The bathroom could use a new floor and I would appreciate a changing table - I ended up taking my baby to the car to change him.
