I truly enjoy The Mixing Bowl. It's totally laid back and easy going. Their pastries and sweets are FREAKING OUTSTANDING....especially their Pecan Pie Bars that are on point and by far my favorite sweet treat their. Their breakfast burritos are no joke . Filling and delicious. I've been here a hand full of times and every time I leave totally full and satisfied but wanting more. It's simply that good. It's easy to overload from the road, but i'm here to tell you that this is a place you have got to try. Service is always friendly! Total Friends and Family Recommendation!!!! read more

The Mixing Bowl - The business end of the Breakfast Burrito! - Bakeries Near Me - Camillus, New York

I happened upon the Mixing Bowl by chance whilst shopping in Camillus. And boy, I'm glad I did. Drawn in by the choice of wraps on the menu; blown away by the greatest surprise I've had in a restaurant in a long while. This place makes the best "slice" of pizza. Not really pizza, but focaccia in a pizza-like style reminiscent of Sicilian style pizza. What sets this piece of tomato, dough, and cheese apart is the magic that happens between the layers. There's a middle layer on top of a perfectly crispy bottom and below the extremely tasty cheese top that is both flavorful and has the most pleasing texture. Put it all together with a little charred pepperoni and you got heaven on Earth; truly a spectacular "slice." Also available plain or with sausage. I had mine at room temperature. Soooooo good. Take it from the Pizza Maven. They got something REALLY special here. BTW, the wraps were very good, too. Nicely grilled chicken in a soft wrap stuffed with fresh veggies, fresh mozzarella, almonds, & even strawberries. It worked out to be an interesting, delicious combination. But, when I go back (and I'm going back sooner than later) it's going to be focaccia all the way. Thank you Mixing Bowl for showing me the light in the darkness of the Syracuse pizza world. read more

We've seen The Mixing Bowl Sign but wasn't sure what it was as it's tucked into a building next to an auto repair shop. Today when passing I decided to check it out and found a small cute Bakery/ Cafe with 7 or 8 tables inside and a few tables outside on the patio. The inside had a slight musty smell but otherwise was very clean. Friendly staff with a good array of baked goods and sweets that are baked on the premises along with a large breakfast sandwich, lunch sandwich, wraps and smash burger menu. I purchased a large Chocolate Chip Cookie that was very good and a soft warm Blueberry Crumble Bun that was very good but a little to sweet for me. Definitely will return. Definitely Recommend. read more

Nice decor, atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food,coffee,etc fast service and very reasonable prices

A little hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Looks like part of an auto repair shop if you drive by too quickly. But the interior is cute with seating for about 20. It's close to Township 5 so I ate there before seeing a movie at the Marcus theater. As is typical for a place like this a lot of takeout businesses. Staff is super friendly. The cinnamon roll was good but the breakfast sandwich (on an everything sourdough roll) and the patty melt (smashburger, next time I'm going to ask if I can get a double patty for a better burger to bread ratio) were both fantastic, in large part to the fantastic bread. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Stopped in at about noon on a Sunday. There were some patrons but no wait to order. The girl at the counter was friendly. I ordered a "Fenix" sandwich, a bottle of water, and a s'mores cinnamon roll. Took about 15 minutes to get the sandwich, but it was clearly cooked to order so that's not a bad thing. The pork belly was very crispy and had good flavor. The ciabatta roll was fresh and warm and was the standout. The rest of the sandwich was pretty dry despite having some sort of aioli. I didn't care for the raw red onions on the sandwich. The cinnamon roll I took home and that was fine. Would've been a touch better warm but no complaints really. Glad I didn't eat it in public because it was very messy. My big problem stems from the fact that above the table I was sitting at the was a large pipe. On that large pipe there were lots of droplets of condensation. These proceeded to drip down on the table and, naturally, me during the course of my visit. I'm not sure how this cool by health code standards because it easily could've dripped into my food and I have no idea what the liquid was although it did look like water. Not cool. Probably should've roped that booth off until the problem was fixed. It doesn't help that the exterior and location of the restaurant is not appealing. It's located in what appears to be a mechanic/used car sales/scrapyard parking lot attached to one of the garages- who wants to eat there? There's also outdoor seating which actually made me chuckle because I'm not sure who would love to take in that atmosphere with their meal. Honestly the food was fine, but nothing special and certainly not good enough for me to get past the water dropping from the ceiling into the table. I would not recommend. read more

Food and service are the best. Outstanding breakfast sandwiches, lunch wraps and baked goods to die for. Worth checking out. You will not be disappointed read more

Another great visit to The Mixing Bowl. Order at the counter and wait for your food. Service was friendly and fast when I was there today. I'm so happy they've gone from serving a handful of items to 3 menu boards full of choices. Today was Spicy chicken and corn Chowder, not very spicy but I have no complaints because it was full of flavor. Then tea and an amazing caramel oat bar. read more

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!!

My sister enjoyed her lunch also which was a grilled cheese on sourdough bread. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Ever since coming to Camillus I wanted to try this place out. With my parents visiting, we had it three days in a row, so I think this is a rather extensive review. First of all, the place is easy to miss, you could drive right past it and not know what it is/if it's open (please get a bigger OPEN sign). I'm so glad we finally stopped in here though. It's so cute on the inside. A great place to not only grab some pastries and coffee to go, but to also get breakfast and lunch and sit down if you have time. I talked with the owners husband who told me that everything is made from scratch, including the buns they use for their burgers and the bread used in their sandwiches. Everything they use is sourced locally as well (nice). One thing that really stood out to me is how passionate the owners are about what they're doing there. They really enjoy what they do and strive to get better each time. It's apparent in a lot of the pictures I saw of this place, which is what really drove me to stop by and I'm so glad I did - I'm going to be a regular here. I'll start off with the hot food. My husband and I each had our own breakfast quesadilla. They took their time making them and it came out terrific. The sauce that came with it is a real nice touch. This reminds me of the kind of breakfast we'd have in Texas. Loved it and will get it again. I also want to explore the rest of the menu - chicken sandwiches, burgers, and the owners husband told me about pork belly that he makes, which usually sells out fast. I'll be keeping any eye out for it. Now for the pastries: Oatmeal Raisin Cookie - Perfect. Soft and chewy, great texture. They nailed a classic. Chocolate Chip Cookie - Excellent. Great layers of texture between the dough and chips, buttery and chocolatey. So good. Brownie - Decadent. I mean this in the best way possible, it reminded me of the box mix brownie that we all grew up on, yet it was all grown-up. Nailed it. Pumpkin/Pecan Sticky Bun - We grabbed this while still hot. It was great - if you don't like this you need to get your mouth checked because something is wrong with you. Scones - We had both the blueberry and chocolate variety. My parents loved the blueberry and didn't get to try the chocolate. I elected to get the chocolate, which I think are excellent on a cold day with a hot cup of coffee, which they source from the local Salt City Coffee. Cannoli - I loved the cream and chocolate chip. The shell had good flavor, but wasn't as hard as a traditional cannoli's. I missed that crunch as I bit into it, but it wasn't soggy as if it had been left out. It just had more of a crumble than a crunch. Overall, still a very good pastry. White Bread - My father took home a loaf and reiterated the entire weekend how good it's going to be when he makes French Toast with it. My parents also took home with them a caramel apple pastry, a lemon bar, and a pecan-pie bar. I haven't heard from them yet on how they were, but visually, they looked great. If you're in the area, check this place out. It's a great addition to Camillus. I'll def. be back. read more

This is a cute little place that has outdoor and indoor seating. Their menu is phenomenal! Breakfast and lunch all day. And Tons of specialty teas and coffees.

I'll DEFINITELY be going back to try other things on the menu! read more

Been going here 1-2x A WEEK for 6 MONTHS HERE'S MY REVIEW SO YOU DON'T NEED TO READ ANYTHING ELSE My brother and I work in the cafe booth section early am to trade the market. This is a gem in Camillus with a routine of bringing new breakfast, lunch and dessert specials every week. Food is amazing, I don't know a better burger spot in CNY let alone NY period. Jon the owner is sweet, generous with the portion sizes, and a master at his craft. He had made thanksgiving and Christmas specials that made me slap my brother at how good they are. You cannot go wrong with anything on the food menu, it has the home cooked, family loving, well seasoned and flavored taste you can only get from someone who knows and loves food. Jon has taken the time to serve us with a smile every time, he works hard and brings something new regularly. Kaehla has a true passion for baking and desserts are definitely a specialty here. Week after week I would be too scared to try anything else besides the pecan pie bar, until finding out every dessert option is just as good. She had us on more occasions than I can count... shocked at how delicious cupcakes, cakes, bars, cookies, sponge cakes, brownies and more can be. Just the right amount of sweetness, and GF options too. Everyone I have brought sweets from the mixing bowl has hounded me for the location and recipe, I say go to Kaehla at MB! Ambiance is quiet and calm for a nice early am pick me up or a cool brunch afternoon. Coffee, hot chocolate, teas and more available at the ready as you wait. And Olivia and Rosie are stellar at giving you hospitality and making you feel welcome to the family. I associate Syracuse with the Mixing Bowl and if you have not tried this diamond of a place, then you're missing out read more

This place is very cute and in the old location of second chance. Stopped in to try a breakfast sandwich and some sweets. The breakfast sandwich I got was bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit. It was huge and very greasy which is not really my cup of tea but it was good. Will def try on a different bread next time. I got the pumpkin cupcake, chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, and pea am bar. My husband said the pumpkin cupcake was good but had a flavor in it that was slightly different and he couldn't place it. My five year old loved both the sugar cookie and chocolate chip cookie. I had the pecan bar and it was amazing!!!! Def give this place a try if you are in the area read more

Stopped on ac Sunday afternoon for breakfast like food. I ordered a bacon egg n cheese breakfast sandwich on an all seed sour dough roll n a coffee. The service was very good n they had real 1/2 n 1/2 for my coffee which made me happy. They even made a fresh coffee forr me. Normally it would've been good but the breakfast sandwich came out a little too fast for me. The bacon was cooked good but when I tried to cut it in half I could tell it was microwaved n way too much! The egg was cooked hard like I expected being a breakfast sandwich but the whole thing tasted premade n reheated. Desserts looked good but I wanted food so I skipped it. If you're a small operation n not a fast food place I expect a little more time put in. Other than that the place was very small n seemed clean. The desserts looked very good though so maybe one day I'll check them out again. read more

This little place isn't much to the eye, but there is seriously something for everyone inside. They are a take out option at the moment, but do have a few tables available to have you eat at if you wanted. There are savory and sweet options, hard to pick just one or two. She makes different baked goods daily and even has some seasonal options. I have to say the cream puff was the best I've ever had, very light and fluffy with actual cream that was light and had the best vanilla flavor. Cinnamon buns were fantastic- she had a regular one and pumpkin, I had the pumpkin and it was great. I also had the maple bourbon pork belly breakfast with the biscuit and an egg. That was delicious, I'm not a huge fan of biscuits, but I bet it would have been better for me with cheddar cheese on it. But I would still 100% get it again. I also had the breakfast burrito- amazing! Great flavor- I was told they use a local vendor for their sausage which is a huge plus and it was delicious. I also had the soup of the day which was a buffalo chicken, phenomenal- hearty but still had enough broth. I will definitely be going back. read more

Despite it being somewhat out of the way the Mixing Bowl is a very worthwhile destination. We went there today and were very impressed by the selection of both sweets and eats and the quality of all that we tasted. My wife ordered the Pecan Roll which she loved, the pecans were plentiful and a welcome addition. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage. It was made from scratch , very fresh and had a bit of a kick to it . I was very impressed. We took home two blueberry scones and two cupcakes , all of which looked wonderful, but that's for tomorrow. Can't wait for that, definitely going back. read more
