I've been on a mission to find coffee shops in Syracuse that are open late enough for me to unwind…read moreafter work, and Milano had been on my list for a while. After finally visiting, I can honestly say the pictures don't do this place justice. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and somehow elevated at the same time. It felt less like a coffee shop and more like hanging out in a friend's beautifully decorated home. I spent a few hours there editing a YouTube video, and it was exactly the type of environment I've been searching for. Since it was my first visit, I wanted to try a few different things. I ordered the strawberry vanilla matcha, which was surprisingly good. It was a little sweeter than I expected, but the flavor was excellent. I'm not usually a matcha girl, but I'd definitely order it again. Their menu is extensive, with several drink options, flavored matchas, pastries, cheesecakes, and even the viral fruit pastries that I saw several customers purchasing while I was there. One thing that really stood out to me was that they actually offer food. I ordered a jerk beef patty and a jumbo apple fritter, both of which were delicious. They also had other savory options available, including spinach pie and additional patties. As someone who arrived hungry, I appreciated having more substantial options than the typical coffee shop pastry selection. The staff were wonderful. They mentioned that they love welcoming new guests, and it definitely showed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and patient while I stood there trying to decide what I wanted to order. I never felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. Since Milano is located in the heart of downtown Syracuse, you'll most likely need to park on the street. If you're visiting before 6 p.m., be prepared to pay for parking. Overall, I had a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the customer service. I'll definitely be back, and Milano has quickly become one of the strongest contenders in my search for the perfect late-night coffee shop.

I was pleasantly surprised by the decor, everything looks so adorable and clean and they also have a little merch area! There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a moderate but fast moving line that started at the door. We ordered a regular oat milk latte, an iced matcha latte and also grabbed one of their $1 "day old cookies" they had out. My husband said the oat milk latte had a great espresso to milk ratio and the "day old" banana split cookie did not taste stale at all and was delicious. My matcha was a bit on the lighter/mild side for the matcha taste and I'd probably get something different next time as their specialty drinks looked really tasty. I'm excited to have tried Cafe Blue and will definitely visit again!

This place is soooooooo cute! It reminds me of T-Swirl quite a bit. This cute little crepe shop has…read moreparking in the back. I think the aesthetic of this crepe shop is off the charts, it's very clean, welcoming and the staff are super friendly. For my items I got a caramel latte which was sweet and tasted exactly like a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. I also got a chicken teriyaki crepe and my husband got a BLT crepe. The one star is taken off because the savory crepes do unfortunately come with cold fillings by design which made the crepe not as tasty. It felt like I was eating a salad wrapped in a crepe, almost like an open wrap instead of a true savory crepe. That being said I do think that if you get the sweet crepes they would taste better and they're much cheaper too. The crepe itself tasted fine it was the filling where the flavor fell flat. I will come back to try the sweet crepes though! This would be a cute spot to go to for a date or a girls hangout if you mainly get sweet crepes.

Unfortunately it didn't hit the mark for me. Although the presentation was adorable, the matcha latte float was too watered down. It mostly tasted like milk. The icecream in it was also freezer burned so it was mostly solid ice. I have heard people love the matcha here so maybe I just went on an off day. The crepe itself used fresh ingredients. We were impressed with the quality of the shrimp. However for $18 I expected for there to be more protein in it. It was not very filling. Overall it's a cute place if you want to try something trendy, and if you want something different to take visiting company to.

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.

The shop is a small space and there were quite a few people either working or meeting up with a friend. I glanced over their summer drink menu and went with the maple miso matcha latte with almond milk. I decided to work remotely in the shop myself. It's pretty modern and chic inside and very friendly service. The matcha was a bit too milk forward for my liking where the matcha almost disappeared. The miso maple flavor however was pretty good and had a slight salty/nutty sweetness that I wish would've brought the matcha flavor out more. The person next to me ordered a breakfast burrito that looked amazing. So maybe that's definitely worth trying out!
