When you're at the Thrive Cafe you're thriving. The cafe is unfortunately closed at the moment, but…read moredo not fret! It is just temporary due to the pandemic. A quick look at Facebook will show you that there are plans of reopening in the Spring. It's a nice little cafe. You need a bowl of soup? They have soup. You need an egg sandwich? Guess what, you can get an egg sandwich. You need some caffeine to wake up? There's caffeine in coffee, which they have. Now word on the street is they're adding some new menu items for the reopen. You're probably asking yourself what those new menu items are going to be, but you're just going to have to check this place out in the spring time to find those answers.

Visiting Shamballa Cafe today really makes me wonder: why do I even bother with chain coffee shops?…read more First and foremost: the coffee is awesome! I went with what was in the vat today: a medium roast that I believe was called blue moon. I forget the provenance of said roast (I remember it was South American), but my oh my was it good! Exactly what you want a medium roast to be: balanced, with notes of whatever chocolate or berries or leather is in there. I couldn't put the cup down! Whereas getting the sludge from the big chains down the gullet sometimes feels like a morning chore. Why is the coffee so good here? It turns out that the owner (a very friendly guy named Emmett) roasts it himself. He had several varieties on offer that were roasted within the last 24 hours, maybe even this morning. That particular minutiae is a blur as I wasn't caffeinated yet when we discussed this. But it's yet another huge benefit a local cafe provides: freshness! Another thing: Shamballa is a great restorer of faith in community and our fellow humans. Emmett and I discussed many things in my fairly brief time in his shop, but I'll never forget the empathy he displayed when discussing some current trials & tribulations. It turns out he's been down the same road, and his well-wishes and kindness made for an even finer accompaniment to the coffee than the coffee cake muffin pairing that was purchased on impulse. A double espresso was consumed on-site while 2 large coffees were taken to go. The espresso was awesome, 100x better than Sbux or Dunkin'. Total for 3 beverages? Less than $8! For later, I grabbed a 1/2 lb. of whole bean Guatemalan medium roast on Emmett's recommendation, and the coffee cake muffin was moist and delicious without being too crumbly or cloyingly saccharine. Drake's it was not! A ten spot covered the latter purchase. If I lived in Baldwinsville, I'd probably stop by here every morning! Except Sunday and Monday when they're closed. Be sure to arrive early, closing time is now noon. Please swing by Shamballa and see for yourself! Perhaps you too will ponder why we make grabbing coffee a chore, when it can be a true morning delight?

There…read morewere no menus at the counter so we asked lots of questions and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. The interior is clean and bright with lots of windows. I ordered an iced latte, 16 oz with syrup. We were drinking it there so we didn't get disposable cups. Mine was served in a clear glass ball jar and looked very large and had almost no color beyond that of the milk. We both tried the drink and it was like sweet milk. There was definitely not a good ratio of espresso to milk. I love coffee and espresso and while I am sure others will love this, it was definitely not something we would ever order again. We saw some of the food items, which looked very nice and when we come back we'll try the food and a different type of drink.

The shop's name, White Rabbit Roasting Co., represents the hard times owner Amelia Bucci-Taylor…read moreovercame starting her first business. A fan of "Alice in Wonderland," she said the story helped her through those hard times. White Rabbit opened in September 2024 in the former Nickel Back Jacks redemption center at 8905 S. Seneca St. in the village. Along with coffee roasted by Bucci-Taylor, the café serves teas by Earthly Emporium in Port Byron and baked items by several local producers, including doughnuts, Danishes and muffins by Camerons Bakery in Auburn and, soon, cinnamon buns by Doughlicious in Auburn. White Rabbit also features candles by Eclectic Hedge in Port Byron, a little free library in coordination with the Weedsport Free Library, and tumblers custom-made by Lake Life Laser Studio in Auburn. A village native, Bucci-Taylor previously worked as a licensed practical nurse at Victory Sports Medicine in Skaneateles. She began roasting her own coffee as a hobby while staying home with her son, and shortly thereafter became stuck there due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Encouraged by her husband, Taih, she researched, bought machines and roasted for herself, and then friends and family. Bucci-Taylor said she tries to use the highest quality coffee beans she can find, such as specialty, fair trade and organic. At White Rabbit, it's available by the cup and by the bag. My wife and I live about 10 minutes from Weedsport, but if you know the area, you know there isn't much out here as far as food/drink go. We stopped into White Rabbit for the first time recently and were impressed with everything. The coffee was good, plenty of flavors and specials to choose from. We got a crossiant donut from Camerons that was delicious. Nicely redecorated inside. Employees were friendly, including Bucci-Taylor herself who was behind the counter slinging drinks. Prices were comparable to other coffee places. Definitely prefer giving my money to fresh roasted, local over the big chains, so we'll definitely be back.
