Sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit
Emily K.

I have been meaning to get here for a while as it is one of my colleagues favorite places. Since I was in the area to shop at Costco anyway, I decided to stop by to grab breakfast sandwiches to go. Their online ordering system was very easy. They are always posting yummy specials on their facebook page. I have heard about their homemade biscuits, so I decided to get my breakfast sandwich on that. It was very flaky and bigger than I expected! The sausage also tasted homemade and the chipotle mayo was chefs kiss! while the restaurant is small, it is super cute and the staff is very friendly. I definitely want to get back soon and try their homemade cinnamon buns.

I stopped in The Mixing Bowl for some after school treats for my children. I decided to grabbed breakfast for myself. I chose their breakfast burrito and my choice of protein was sausage. Something like this is never my first choice for breakfast(not a huge breakfast person lol) but the burrito was delicious, nice crisp to the tortilla, the filling was plentiful. I was full after eating half the burrito. I also picked up a half moon cookie, death by chocolate cupcake, espresso cupcake, funfetti cupcake(not pictured because my littlest got to it). This is not our first time here, it's one of our favorite places. Below I'll highlight some other items l've tried. My go to sandwich is The Fenix: crispy pork belly, lettuce tomato onions, cheddar, chipotle mayo on house ciabatta bread. Simple yet flavorful. Tomato Bacon Jam Burger: I wanted to try something new other than my go to sandwich. Unfortunately this wasn't a favorite. This is just my preference but it was too salty for my liking. I was hoping for a balance of salty and sweet. I make my bacon jam a bit sweet. But I will try their other burger options out. Both sandwich and burger were a great size for the price. Their baked goods are always a hit with our family. We ordered a bunny cake for Easter and it was perfect for our occasion. Service is always great.

Breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit

Take all my money! This place is such a gem! Everything I've tried here has been absolutely fresh and delicious. I love the cold brew coffee and all of the sweet and savory treats. The employees here are SO nice also, which makes me want to throw even more money at them! The sticky and cinnamon buns are divine and I buy one every time I come. Breakfast sandwiches are fresh and hot, and they have yummy spread options like maple mayo. I always get mine on a fresh baked biscuit. They had fresh baked breads like sourdough and jalapeño cheddar focaccia, and baked goods like cookies, scones, cupcakes, trifles, eclairs, and biscotti. They have rotating specials that sound amazing like tomato, spinach and mozzarella quiche (had to grab a slice.) Lots of options, super fresh, super friendly, strong coffee, I'll definitely be back!!

The place is not all that cute, but my sandwich was fantastic!! I got the MJ (grilled chicken, fig jam, bacon, fresh mozzarella, and apple on a ciabatta roll.) Had a nice watermelon iced tea with it and a slice of cheesecake that was good, but seemed to be a day old. Everything looked great on the menu and all the different desserts. I absolutely know I will come back to try some more things.

a ham and cheese sandwich

Kaehla Gardner has been baking professionally for eight years, most recently at Crazy Daisies in Onondaga Hill. She and her husband, Jon, rented the space that had previously been home to the popular Second Chance Diner. They spent a few months renovating the cozy kitchen and dining room and opened the Mixing Bowl as a bakery/café. She focuses on the baking and the front counter while Jon works the grill. Wife and I recently stopped in looking for an early lunch after a Costco trip. We'd been here before when it was the Second Chance Diner, so we knew right where it was. It's a small place, but has a decent sized parking lot and a couple booths/tables if you want to have your food there. It's been nicely redecorated inside, with all their deserts laid out behind a class case. Both Kaehla and her husband were both very nice to us, helping us through the menu and what they had to offer. My wife ordered a Cuban sandwich special and I ordered the chicken caprese sandwich. Our food took about 15 minutes or so to come out. We split half of each sandwich for each of us to try. We liked both, but bother agreed the Cuban was better. The chicken on the caprese seemed like it could've used a little more seasoning, or more balsamic to punch up the flavor. We ordered 2 deserts on the way out, a strawberry cream cheese roll and a whoopie pie. Both were good, but both were on the dry side and on the verge of too sweet for us. Pricing was comparable to other similar establishments. While nothing was bad, we didn't find anything that really blew us away food wise. Owners were extremely nice people though so we'd recommend everyone go there and give it a try.

Sticky bun
Angela R.

Been meaning to get here for a while and finally made it. I went around opening on the weekday and there were a few other folks popping in and out, but not busy. The owners seemed super friendly. I went with a build your own breakfast sandwich, on a brioche bun. The bread was super soft and the egg was fried. It was tasty, though my breakfast sandwich tastes tend to skew towards scrambled or runny yolks on croissants so don't know that it would be my first choice, but it was still tasty. The star of the show was the cinnamon bun which was served still warm, which seems to be the norm. There's buzz about these babies for a reason. Perfect fluffiness and pull-apartness, the ideal amount of frosting, and of course, perfectly warm and comforting on a winter morning (or any morning.) Definitely make sure to get here early enough to get one of these beauties fresh out of the oven! PS-- This place has perfect natural lighting for food photos. :D

Lemon Bar
Jennifer S.

The Mixing Bowl has the best baked goods in CNY! Lemon Bar. If you like lemon, you will love this dessert. This is the absolute best lemon curd I've ever had. Lemon Blueberry Cake. This is my favorite dessert that they have. The cake is moist and the flavors are incredible. It appears heavy but is actually very light. So good! Blueberry Scone. Simple, flaky, and delicious. It's great with your morning coffee. Cinnamon Roll. Better than any other I've had. The frosting is not overly sweet and compliments the roll perfectly. Chocolate Chip Cookie. I love a good cookie. It's amazing how many places can't do a basic chocolate chip cookie well. This one lands in my top 3 easily! Cute little place and the staff/owners are amazing!

The service here was fantastic, they were so kind and even though it was busy they were very attentive! The food here was also delicious so many options and baked goods were soooo good! I highly recommend their peanut butter cookies!!

Pecan sticky bun (weekends only) with extra topping
Jess S.

1st of all, before you even get inside, you can smell the baked goods and food outside. It is intoxicating! I knew that the pecan sticky buns are only made on weekends, so I went on a Saturday morning specifically for that. The girl who was serving us was so friendly and helpful, she graciously gave us some extra topping for our sticky buns even though we didn't ask for it. What a bonus!!! The entire establishment is very clean. All the staff are friendly and willing to give their suggestions of the foods and pastries they love (which is so helpful). I have to say, that as a woman, I was incredibly impressed with the bathroom cleanliness and the generosity of the owners (free tampons in the bathroom). It's rare to see this kind of thoughtfulness in businesses nowadays. I tip my hat to the owner for the positive action of making sure the female staff and patrons are taken care of if they need it. I have been here twice and everything, literally everything, was divine. My advice: go!! Eat!! Enjoy!!

Amazing!!! Pecan sticky bun
Joanne R.

I try to stop here whenever I'm in the area. I just love the vibe and the owners. I went for lunch last Saturday with my sister. I had the patty melt which was delicious!! A cup of coffee and we split a cinnamon bun. The pecan sticky bun was fresh and amazing!!! I'm always happy when I have lunch here. My sister enjoyed her lunch also which was a grilled cheese on sourdough bread.

A bakery and breakfast/lunch shop with some seating indoors. I did the BYO breakfast sandwich. Prob the only place around here you can get pork belly on a breakfast sandwich. It was very good. My only note is that I wish the pork belly was a bit more tender and less fried. Regardless, I would get it again. The lemon bar was delish, tangy with a thick, buttery crust. Cinnamon roll was also amazing after being heated in microwave for 20 sec. Not dry at all. The raspberry swirled brownie initially had me hemming and hawing but as the flavors developed more I enjoyed it. Also, very moist and almost a creamy texture. Staff are friendly!

Walking through the restaurant was nice as the space was very large and the decor indoor was cozy and whimsical. Our server was nice throughout the meal. However, I did get a water glass that had marks on it that looked like someone just drank out of it and a crumb on the rim. I asked them if they could get me a clean cup and they ended up bringing the same one as the same mark and crumb were still there. For food, our table ordered a few items to share. We got: -CAULIFLOWER WINGS: The chutney/salsa on top of the fried cauliflower was nice and gave the item a little sour kick. However, the cauliflower itself was not cooked fully so not as soft as I wanted it to be. -SYRACUSE POUTINE: The appearance of the poutine was not the best. However, the gravy it came with was very flavorful and tasty. The potatoes themselves were not fried and were in wedge form but went well with the gravy. The small globs of melted cheese on top were a nice complement. -CAJUN SLIDERS: The slider compliments/sauce went well together but the sliders themselves had grill marks on it which gave a bitter bite to those parts of the slider. Additionally, the fried shrimp inside of the slider still had the tail on and so it was a bit of a surprise to bite into a full tail while eating a slider. All in all, a cute spot to see people but food had some hit or miss components.

We met some family here for a weekend stay. We are not skiers so we came mostly for the water park…read more We booked rooms side by side with a joining door, 8 total in our group. The room was pretty much what we expected. The kitchen amenities were nice, bathrooms clean, beds comfortable enough. We enjoyed the water park. (Separate review left on Cascades page) I do think it's a little misleading on the website and when you talk to the desk to schedule. It sounds like the lodge has a pool and hot tub. It does not have a separate one, guests use the one in the water park. So the day of arrival, we thought it would be relaxing to use the hot tub but it was way overcrowded. The hallways are LOUD. I know this is not due to anything the lodge staff are doing but more the other guests. Every night we were there we had kids running up and down the halls yelling late into night. I'm all for kids having fun but not waking up other sleeping littles past midnight. We even were "ding dong ditched" more than once each night. My other somewhat negative is we had a family stay package which included a pizza dinner and hot cocoa. The pizza was better than expected but we got the run around when trying to get the hot cocoa. We were told you had to get it at the Starbucks or the restaurant. The Starbucks was closed when the kids went to get it (8pm) and the restaurant refused, even though that's what the front desk said to do. Overall, if there was more clarity with what you were booking and receiving, someone enforcing some rules in the halls, and maybe longer restaurant and bar hours, this would have been a really great stay. We had a lot of fun. Just a lot of road bumps too.

Alongside the meats, we wanted to try their sides as well which consisted of mac and cheese, baked beans, corn bread, cole slaw and salt potatoes. For the brisket which we looked forward to the most, we found these to be drier than we would have liked. Paired with sauce, they were just okay. For the pulled pork, we found this to be phenomenal. Smoky and delicious all on its own. Definitely a highlight for us. For the bacon, we ordered 3 different kinds, and we found the flavors didn't really shine through. Although generously thick cut and cooked perfectly. The kielbasa was a bit of a letdown. We found these to be on the dry side, but the flavors were okay. For the sides, the mac and cheese we found the pasta to be a bit overcooked and overall, on the bland side. The baked beans tasted great, no complaints there. The corn bread wasn't anything special and neither were the salt potatoes. Although we did enjoy the salt potatoes and found they were exactly how they ought to be. The cole slaw was also on the bland side and tasted more of the fridge than any flavor. We've heard good things about their smoked wings which we had to try before leaving. We ordered a 5-piece with their spicy Asian sauce. The wings were delicious, the smokiness flavor penetrated throughout the entire wing, but the sauce was very salty which took away from the natural delicious taste of the smoked wings. Overall, a good experience which some seasoning issues but would revisit if we were back in the area.
