No premade drinks that have been sitting around all day, No loads of sugar that are forced on you. I order the Saudi coffee which was perfect and a festival cake which was heavenly. Staff was generally nice but I interacted the most with Alyssa (I hope I spelled the name right). She was accommodating and patient, which I really appreciated.

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?

They have many wraps, smoothies, and beverages. All served up with a smile! Many of their ingredients are locally sourced - hurray! They have board games, tables and chairs, and comfy chairs and couches. A lovely addition to the dining scene in Bville!

We were craving the delicious burgers from Lock 1 so here we are. The kitchen is only open Thursday…read more- Saturday but we heard they are enlarging the kitchen so maybe the hours will change, it's a good idea to call ahead. Friday is the burger special, it has beef and brisket and is juicy and delicious. The bun is always nicely toasted and it comes with cheese, lettuce, onion and tomatoes and fries. The fries are hot and crispy but there was a bit too much salt ( for me), so next time I'll remember to ask for no salt. My friend had no problem with the salt. My friend ordered the soup of the day which was Corn Chowder with Shrimp. It sounded good but I know if I have soup, I can't finish lunch. As soon as they brought out the soup and I had just a spoonful..... I had to get a bowl. Plenty of shrimp and corn , lots of flavor and it was smooth and light and delicious. I am not a fan of chowders that are thick as "pudding". We didn't have any drinks this time, but they have an amazing list of ciders, ales, beers on tap. Their own distilled spirits are excellent as well. Service is always good!

Went with friends for Brunch and it was an interesting experience. The place was busy, which we…read moreexpected but somehow our table seemed to get lost in the shuffle along the way. We ordered our mimosa tower and water and got our tower, no water. We waited a while for anyone to come back, and ordered food and water. No water and the food came out slowly one at a time. Asked for water as one of the servers passed by, nope, but the 4th time was the charm. Our food was good overall, no complaints there. Then we had to grab someone for the check and then after waiting as part of the social experiment to see if they cared about our table, no one came back to pick it up, so I went up to the bar and paid the bill. I'm honestly confused as it was my first time there, but my friends have been there before and never experienced that. I'm hoping if you are reading this you take the as a random one off experience and still try for yourself. I'm comfortable saying that given all the very positive reviews that I got unlucky. Not sure if I'll be back but I hope if you go, you enjoy!?
