At the counter they have a case of baked goods, I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, but my partner found it too dry. The employees were super nice, which is always a plus at a business where customizing your order is part of the process. I will say that the pu-er tea late that I ordered was very weak. Even with a cinnamon brown sugar flavor shot it felt lacking. They sell a large variety of loose leaf teas, shirts, granola, and other goodies. For those who are religious, they have a prayer board where you can write prayers and hang them up. If I was going off just aesthetics the place looks great, but the tea was lacking, and the cinnamon roll only appeased 1 out of 2 people so I think I'm forced to give it a 3 out of 5.

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.

We ordered a pair of blueberry cheesecake-like desserts: tasty and surprisingly light. Pastry was served immediately. Our drinks included chai (yum!), Saudi coffee with cardamom (an acquired taste that I won't repeat), mocha, and black tea. Took nearly 15 minutes to get drinks, and when ready, they were placed on the end of the counter with no announcement. We didn't know they were up until we we walked over. By that time the coffees were cooling. Overall, products were good but process needs improvement.

The young lady behind the counter appeared to be working alone and was struggling to keep up.

Sunshine's Coffee Shop, located just off Carrier Circle, was founded by Patrick & Lorene Dadey in…read more1979 and has become a staple of the community since. They are a fast casual breakfast & lunch shop whose main selling point is they keep things simple and cheap. I've driven by Sunshine's many time, as it's on my way to work. I have gone twice now for breakfast. The first time, I got one of their sandwich specials with a bacon & ham omelet with cheese on a bagel. I've also tried a sausage, egg & cheese on a croissant, along with their home fries & hash browns. Here's the thing...nothing here is BAD. But it is bland. Sunshines is exactly what they market themselves as - fast, cheap and SIMPLE. Nothing is seasoned enough, their potatoes are slightly undercooked (as in very soft, no crisp to them, not raw), and even their meats don't seem to have much flavor to them. If all you're looking for is a VERY simple meal, Sunshine has you covered. If you're looking for something with some more flavor or creativity, it may not be the breakfast spot for you

Because of that experience I did not visit for a couple years. At my work, there were draft oat milk lattes from salt city coffee for staff appreciation which were phenomenal. I even ordered a gallon for my daughter's birthday party(for the parents). Recently, I have ordered 2 lattes that were good. There is a discount if you bring a reusable mug. 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.
