Suggestions for Cafe, Coffee, and Tea House near Downtown Syracuse, Syracuse

Elaina P. • April 2, 2015Beautiful addition to the Kubal family, this cafe has plenty of space for eating, reading, working, or just getting together. Seeing the Niagara Mohawk building out the window elevates the space

Sarah R. • November 30, 2012Whoever donated the books on their bookshelf has excellent taste. I would be dying for a book exchange if I didn't already own the majority of the ones they had!

Elliott D. • May 1, 2013Lately this has been my favorite cafe. Delicious coffee. I've been making it at home now too from the beans. Highly recommended! The quinoa salad was delicious and so was the chocolate chip cookie.

Hannah W. • April 8, 2017Spring = delicious lavender lattes and flavor shots. I love Recess year-round, but especially in spring.

Neva H. • September 21, 2018Great oatmeal with lots of toppings; chose fruit, pecans, sunflower seeds and brown sugar. Staff are the best; always smiling. Great way to start the morning! Oh, and the coffee is amazing.

Regan • June 24, 2018Probably the best chai latte I’ve ever had, want to go back. It’s underattended so it’s very quiet and always has lots of seating.

Jennifer P. • September 4, 2015Roji is a quiet, relaxing, and ambient environment with a great music selection. Perfect for studying and casual meet-ups. Super affordable and tasty food, friendly staff. Recc: Green tea parfait.

Apurva L. • April 26, 2013You get packed california roles/sushi 'to go' in this cafe. Pretty cheap. Something different to eat in a cafe!

Criostalaigh R. • November 2, 2012Went in for coffee.Not sure how the food is, prices seem reasonable though. I like that they offer fish and grits. The staff was rather rude, however. Not a fan.

Susan • November 8, 2012Great sandwiches- The Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Chicken Pesto Panini and Roast Beef and Bleu are the best! The chili and Mac n Cheese are also great on a cold day.
