    Love Bambu! I've brought both of my sisters here and we've tried an array of drinks from the menu. This is a former bank, so the space is a little strange. When you walk in, you're standing in the bank atrium. The private bank offices are still here and are private rooms you can sit in and relax. I love their Vietnamese coffee and boba tea. You can also sign up for their rewards program and get deals on drinks. I can't wait to stop back in and try more tea.

    So many choices! I knew I wanted something coffee based and the person who helped me was very patient. I ended up with an iced Coconut Mocha with coffee jelly. It was delicious! One of the best of these types of drinks I've had. It had real coffee flavor wasn't super sweet like it was made with tons of syrup. I asked for light ice...no problem and there was a nice amount of coffee jelly, which had a nice coffee flavor as well, without being sweet. I wanted to try the Vietnamese egg rolls but they were all out. I know I'll be back!

    After realizing this is a large chain, decided to pop in for a quick drink before our shopping trip in Syracuse. There is a very large menu, with mixture of traditional boba and some of their specials. It's a Vietnamese style boba shop, so perhaps keeps that in mind. My go-to boba to decide if I am returning to this boba shop or not is earl grey milk tea with half sweetness. They didn't have earl grey. Bummer I opted for the black milk tea with 50% sweetness. I liked the taste of the boba. Good chew and sweetness, but the black tea flavor was a bit lacking. The halo halo was pretty good, but again, lacking a bit of flavor. I wanted more sweetness and bean taste. It was quite icy and coconut-y. I would go back but maybe try the Vietnamese coffee boba. That looked really good, and their smoothies looked delicious as well. Free parking lot Fun instagrammable walls

    We ordered cake batter, matcha, & strawberry mochi ice cream pieces which were delicious. My Pina colada was made fresh with real fruit & coconut milk. They serve dairy & non-dairy choices & that means everybody can enjoy something from the menu. Service is friendly. They really help you decide what to get as the menu is extensive. A very clean dining area with a cute VIP room (I'm choosing to call it VIP, though it's not designated as that. wink). There's a gender neutral accessible bathroom. This place is really hip & cool. I love it . 10/10 give this place a try.

    I FINALLY found a place to get my halo-halo fix. I love that they're able to customize your halo-halo to your liking. The only thing I think I would have preferred was maybe another scoop of ube ice cream and less ice in my halo-halo, but it's definitely a place I would come to when I'm craving something sweet. Everybody who helped us was helpful & sweet.

    Such a cute, fun and collaborative space! I love the variety and unique choices you can find here. There's tons of space to hang out and do some work or catch up with a friend. Staff was friendly and efficient. Smoothies were so delicious!! I am very excited to come back here, especially to try some mochi ice cream and macarons!

    Ordered online for a pickup after an appt I had in the area. The pickup time was provided for me by the website, 12:15. But when I went inside to pickup, they weren't even made. There was no one else in there, so it's not like they were busy.... Anyways, the banana smoothie and iced coffee I got were both delicious!!!! The menu is pretty extensive and I'm not familiar with most of the items, so I can't wait to head back and try something else.

    I am glad I finally got to visit Bambu! They have a diverse menu and some of the offerings are unique to the area. The cafe is spacious with beautiful ambiance and colorful lights. We knew that we wanted to try their dessert drinks as the staff told us it was their specialty. We got the Halo Halo and Taro Lover. Both the drinks were delicious and so fresh. The Halo Halo had a burst of flavors which somehow made sense together. The shaved ice on the drinks were sweet and light with coconut flavor. They have dairy free options too! I got to talk to the owner and she told me how everything on their menu is freshly made and can be customized however we want it. The staff here was so polite and gave us great suggestions. I highly recommend this place and look forward to trying their teas and smoothies.

    So incredibly excited that this place just opened up!! It's near the office which makes it dangerous but more boba options in Syracuse?! yes please! I was so happy to see halo halo on the menu too! Classic Filipino dessert now more available !! I can't remember the last time I even ordered halo halo so this was so awesome to see. It's a childhood staple now accessible as an adult staple pick me up For the first visit we ordered a passion fruit refresher, winter melon milk tea boba (if you like milk teas this is my all time fav go-to), pandan waffle with a scoop of ube ice cream. Like many big time milk tea spots all over the country, this gives many topping options and sweetness level options which is probably my fav as I have a huge sweet tooth but 100% sweetness level daily is probably frowned upon. Their motto of "just the way you love it" means full customization Crazy varied menu which inspires more trips to try new things each time, ample parking, easy to find, instagrammable wall (wing wall), kind staff. Run don't walk!

    So glad they open here in Syracuse! I'm from Rochester and I gladly take the two hour drive to Syracuse just to get the drinks here, they are so good! Ever since I bought my first Bambu at Philadelphia I've been craving it all the time. Definitely a place you should check out, especially if you're tired of all the boba craze lately P.S. if you buy to-go, they'll give you an ice ball separately.

    I'm a big fan of this place. They have lots of fresh, tasty options, from fruit teas, to Vietnamese coffee, smoothies to milk teas. My favorite are the Chè dessert drinks. So far my top choice had been the Taro Lover. The staff is friendly and will explain the menu to you and tell you how to enjoy these fun menu items if you have any questions. Everything is super flavorful with good portions of toppings.

    I'm not going to lie, I was so disappointed when I went here. I took 4 friends and it took almost 30 min for us to get our drinks. First, the wall menu gives you the options if 0%, 25%, 50% or 75% sugar/sweetener. When I asked for a normal milk tea with bobas they said I couldn't get it with 0% sugar. Ok, I'm flexible, no problem so I got the passion fruit tea with lychee popping bobas. Trying to put that order in the register, the young girl was struggling with the machine. We all have to learn sometime, but it took about 5-10 min before she got her boss to come out and help. Then the register took another 5 min to process our card. While I know things happen and new businesses have to work out the kinks, my tea tasted straight up like dish soap. One of my friends also ordered the lychee popping bobas and hers tasted like soap as well. 3 stars because of how long it took, the disappointment in taste, but the redeeming quality was the staff's friendliness. Also, heads up if you're sensitive to smells... they have a small shrine with a LOT of incense burning when you 1st walk in, so anyone with a proclivity to migraines might want to be prepared.

    This place is the best thing to hit the town of Camillus/Fairmount in ages. The food and drink are perfection. Everything is prepared on site and so fresh. Everyone that works there, especially the owners are amazingly friendly and helpful if you're not sure what something is, or need help in deciding. The cafe is modern and unique with offerings to Buddha just as you walk inside. Perfect Vietnamese ambiance! I recommend this place - 5 stars! And I've been from NYC to Asia and not had better in the USA than here. The prices are more than fair, some drinks are a bit pricy but these ingredients come in from very far and are fresh. Bambū only puts out what's good. Good job!

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.

Menu is filled with options which made it hard to pick what to order which is an awesome "problem" to have, we all ordered breakfast and were not disappointed! I decided on the pancake/french toast flight and picked three flavors. I chose Cannoli French Toast, Reese's Pieces pancakes, and the loaded pancakes for a savory item. Cannoli was my favorite but they were all good, loaded even has an egg on top however you like it!Portion size is huge and everything tasted great!!!! They had a good challenge listed on the menu but none of us were up to the challenge! Service is amazing, and they even have a waitress warming up coffee, which I highly appreciate at places. The diner is busy but it was not too loud to hear your party and everything ran so smooth. All the servers were nice and seemed happy to work there! Menu price was shown using your card, they had a cash discount available if using cash which is a nice option! I wish I took pictures or everyone else's food but didn't. The drink options seemed amazing with make your own flights or their specials. The next time I am in the Syracuse area I will be going here to try more! Don't be afraid of the busy parking lot or wait time, it's worth it!! Also reading about the name and reason for this diner made me feel all the feels for the owners recovery, how can you NOT support a place like this??!! We will be back and can't wait to try more off their menu.
