The environment is inviting and perfect for small groups coming together to plan, do hw, or coffee meeting. The service was good. And the coffee options are great.

We loved everything about walking into this place, but that's where it ended…read more We ordered croissants and someone not working the register went and grabbed the croissants we ordered for another customer who was on the phone. Rather than telling the person handling the phone order that the croissants were already ordered, the cashier just apologetically smiled. It's our first time here (we told the cashier that) and she tried to offer other options, but we weren't looking for cake first thing in the morning. What's weird is that the person handling the phone order was making drinks before and after so I'm not sure if this was an order for a friend or a legitimate customer. The whole thing was disappointing and soured our opinion and experience. Seven employees were working and it still took over 10 mins to get two lattes. When served, our drinks were not hot because the espresso shots had been sitting on the counter cooling off while the milk was steamed and the flavoring added. The interstellar had good flavor but was kid's temp by the time I got it. The honey saffron didn't taste like anything and was slightly warmer, but fell flat flavorwise. Overall, the experience didn't feel particularly high end as the prices would reflect, nor efficient. I'm not sure if I would return.

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.

This was our first time at Aurora's! Thankful that Strong Hearts told us they existed. The cafe is…read morein Northern Lights Plaza in Mattydale, where there is a Raymour & Flanigan store. (In fact, they own the plaza.) Aurora's in by other eateries near the old Media Olay location. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating. Very comfortable. All of the food is vegan, delicious, and filling. We're looking forward to eating there again! Everyone was helpful and pleasant. Clearly people who love what they are doing!

Very cute cafe in Mattydale. I went in on a Sunday morning and there were a few other customers but…read morenot too busy. The staff was very friendly. I went with one of the specials which was topped with marshmallow cold foam. It was a little sweet, but very good. The cafe doubles as a gift shop and has some cute eclectic tchotchkes - a bit of whimsy. I feel like this place is probably especially fun for Halloween, it has an enchanted kinda feel. The vibes were very good. Staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, part of the neighborhood. As other reviewers have mentioned they're also vegan and have a full food menu, so it's definitely a place to check out if you're plant-based. I haven't tried the food but will update when I do.

I was looking for a coffee shop in Syracuse that had a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere and stayed…read moreopen later than most cafes, so I decided to check out Recess. 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.

It has a reasonably sized parking lot which leads into an entry way full of plants before you enter into the cozy seating area and counter for ordering. They have a refridgerated section for baked goods, especially worth noting is their wide selection of keto cookies, cupcakes, and other "sweets" They have coffee and tea in a lot of different forms as well as lunch and breakfast sandwiches. I got the keto bagel which was good, but the egg was definitely overcooked to the point of being reminiscent of a hard boiled egg with a yolk that's gone green. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and overall I enjoyed my visit. They have a few shelves of crafts to shop while you wait for your food and it's overall a welcoming place to browse or stay and drink your drinks and eat your food

They also had tons of different flavors and toppings. I got premium vanilla, black raspberry, and this one flavor that I've never seen before called "Cookie Monster" It tasted like cotton candy with graham crackers and it was delicious. I got m&ms, rainbow sprinkles, and a couple strawberry's. The strawberries were nice and cold looked like they had just been washed. The lady at the counter was extremely nice and even let me pick out what color spoon I wanted. Overall, a 10/10 experience and the price was only 10 bucks for a 15 oz large cup.
