I stopped by Cafe Blue after finding out that they also run the Blueberries & Lace food truck where I was able to try their delicious banana draft latte. 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! read more

I have been wanting to come here for so so long. The vibes are absolutely immaculate as soon as you walk in. They were having a jewelry pop up which was such a nice surprise!!! I was ordering and didn't know what to get and the barista was happy to suggest that I get the cake my day latte. I didn't know what I was expecting, but WOW. The raspberry cold foam was sweet and delicious and the latte itself was perfectly sweet with the oat milk. I can't wait to come back. I need to get lunch next time!! read more

I want to love this place more, but unfortunately just missed the mark on things. The food all tasted fine, but generally not well executed or well seasoned, and our order was messed up twice despite very politely asking the restaurant to help fix. They were nice about fixing the order, but they also started to get busy and I think that factored into some of the trouble. Very pretty cafe and pretty menu items, unfortunately just felt that there was something missing in making it a great experience. read more

Such a great little cafe, and not so little with the recent addition to their space. The case was full of pastries, and they had some savory food options. I love the aesthetic of the whole place. The barista was very helpful in choosing what I wanted for my beverage and service was pretty quick too. They had some nice fall themed flavors and I was able to enjoy them in my iced matcha. I would definitely go back. I love the little affirmations and cute sayings written on the cups. They just make your day a little brighter. read more

Cafe Blue - pistachio and marshmallow matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

While in the area, I popped into Cafe Blue to grab a coffee. What a cute spot! It was packed on a Sunday around noon. The line was almost out the door! While I didn't order food, everything looked absolutely delicious coming out of the kitchen. Especially the breakfast sandwiches! Now onto the drinks-- they have so many flavors to choose from (classic options and seasonal). I went with the large ice latte + caramel + toasted marshmallow cold foam. OMG, that cold foam is next level! Like every single drink should come with toasted marshmallow cold foam on top! The latte itself was meh. The espresso was weak and tasted more like milk and caramel. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely return to try some other options. read more

Such a cute cafe! Their baked goods looked delicious. We went first thing in the morning and they had just pulled many of them right out of the oven so they were nice and warm. Great coffee with different flavor selections. We sat in the side room with extra seating. The workers were very nice. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

The vibes at Cafe Blue are immaculate, and I appreciate the ample seating, but I have to be honest I was not impressed with my coffee. It could have just been a bad batch, but it tasted burnt which made me sad because I had high hopes. I did enjoy my sandwich, and like I said 5 stars for the atmosphere. I just expected better coffee in comparison to other places I've tried in Cuse area. read more

First time meeting a friend at Café blue. What a beautiful little place. Clean and nicely decorated, with a small section in the back room of plants for sale. Nice menu, which has sandwiches, salad, bowls, salads, pastries, and of course, lots of different coffee and tea drinks. The staff is outstanding and helped us figure out what to order as first timers. I thought the small latte at six dollars was a little overpriced. I ordered the chicken and the fig sandwich which was presented on toasted bread like a Panini, and full of chicken, sliced apples, Brie cheese, and fig jam. It really worked and was delicious. It was served with a generous side salad, which made it a perfect lunch item. I did have some difficulty finding parking and parked around the backside of the building where I could see the aquarium being built. This is a place where you can meet with friends and sit and talk and not be hurried, which is exactly what we did. read more

Very busy small restaurant and bakery in the Inner Harbor in Syracuse. The decor is very light and airy and with the two big front windows it was light and bright even on a gray winter day. They have lots of coffee options and I chose the Matcha Butterscotch Latte. The matcha was blended well and the butterscotch flavor went nicely with the grassy matcha. Three of us chose the chicken thighs, brie, apple and caramelized onion on sourdough bread. It was delicious....the chicken was cooked perfectly and was moist and full of flavor going beautifully with all the other ingredients and the fig was a jam added to the sandwich. I LOVE that instead of chips you can have a salad . What a brilliant choice. We shared an almond cookie that was sweet and tasty. It reminded me of an almond horn from my favorite Italian bakery. read more

Immaculate vibes. Definitely the kind of coffee shop you come to for the aesthetic and ambiance. Especially lovely and cozy on snowy days. I dropped in on a Sunday morning about an hour after they opened. Shop was empty when I first arrived, but traffic quickly picked up. Definitely a popular spot -- limited seating inside, so plan your visit accordingly if you want to linger (you'll definitely want to linger.) The bakery case was stocked with gorgeous pastries including macrons, croissants, and cupcakes. Hard to choose! The specials menu was full of fancy possibilities. I opted for a an almond croissant and an oat milk latte. Didn't see prices listed for the baked goods, and my latte actually wound up being cheaper than what I expected from the menu? Around $10 total, $5 for the croissant and latte accordingly. More on the high-scale side for cafes including price-wise, but you can tell that the staff puts a lot of care into every aspect of the experience. The croissant was delicious, perfectly flakey and crammed full of almond paste that made me feel really nostalgic. The powdered sugar liberally dusted on top was the perfect final touch. Latte was good too. Solid playlist, and though the cafe got buzzy it wasn't too difficult to focus. A local jewelry maker set up a table for a pop-up while I was there -- love to see small businesses collaborating with and supporting other local entrepreneurs. If you don't nab a parking spot along the front of the businesses (you might not, because the building houses apartments too I believe) there is a bigger lot a short stroll away. Located in the Inner Harbor, close to Destiny USA and the waterfront, neighbors to a salon and the Meier's Creek Taproom. All around a nice experience. I'd definitely come back -- great place to meet up with friends or coworkers, or just take yourself on a work adventure or self-date. An absolutely darling, adorable cafe, and worth checking out! read more

For the first stop on my birthday, we stop to get some coffee. I saw that Cafe Blue had their September drink special which was name after Noah Kahan's songs(love this!). My husband got the Season of the Sticks (s'mores latte) and I got I Love Vermont (maple draft with maple cold foam). The maple draft tasted great, you can taste the maple without being overly sweet(I got it again a few days later lol). I tried my husband's drinks and that tasted delicious as well. The flourless cake was a perfect size and tasted amazing to start my birthday. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I love the touch of encouragement, phrases or whatever it may be the ladies write on each cup sure can make anyone's day! read more

I've heard so many great things about this place I couldn't wait to try it! Parking on a Wednesday afternoon was busy in the street and I had to circle a couple of times to find a spot. I found one in the back of the building and it was free parking . There was a line but thankfully someone was getting up so my friends and I got a table. It was so cute inside and the coffee selections all sounded amazing! I ended up with a Carmel latte! It was served in a real coffee mug which I throughly enjoyed! I chose the chicken thighs with fig jam panini with a side of salad for lunch. It was ok but I usually eat white meat chicken so it was a little strong for me. The star was the cookie. I shared this with my friends and we all declared it amazing! It was the almond croissant cookie. It was crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside and the flavor was outstanding. I would definitely go back for lunch and desert and try another sandwich but stick with that cookie read more

Cafe Blue - Cold brew with cherry cold foam and iced latte with sweet cream, cold foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

There's no other coffee shop in Syracuse that I know of having pop-up TATTOO STANDS?! Popped in this morning for the fall maker's market and was so blown away by the art, craftsmanship and talent lining the walkway outside Cafe Blue. There was so much to see and it was a beautiful perfect day!! Cafe Blue has a lovely curated menu that always goes along nicely with the season, the month, and the vibes in the community. I love that this coffee shop does so much to support the local community, between coat drives, coffees for cops and so much more. It's obvious when you come that this is the hot-spot coffee shop in Syracuse. If you're here on a weekend, come in early it expect to wait in line. I PROMISE you will not regret it and the drinks/food are so worth the wait. Great place to do some work, read a book, chat with friends and just hang out. Also get some treats for your pups, who are welcomed thanks for a great visit! read more

The ambiance of this cafe is absolutely immaculate. For sure one of the most beautiful cafes in town! However, I will note that coming in during a workday somewhat close to lunch it was packed. And because they have a lot of 4-person tables, they do suffer from individual people taking up the 4-person tables. It is just a bit cramped. They have a wide variety of options for drinks and food, with many blue-themed items in the mix. Drinks include many tea-based options that are all made with loose tea or matcha rather than bags or a premade mix (i.e., top quality!). The employees have recommended favorites you can try if you want a unique flavor combination! As for food, they have a variety of toasts, pastries, sandwiches, and salads. My highlights: Iced Blueberry Earl Gray - All of their tea drinks use real loose tea, which is brewed fresh with a hint of what seems like natural sweetness. Delightful! Blue Tropics Smoothie - They're made fresh but they are way too thick, so drinking them is kinda tough until they melt a bit... which takes awhile. I actually broke my straw trying to drink it, so more of a spoonable smoothie (they should really thin them out a little if it's not a smoothie bowl). However, it was absolutely delicious! Very banana-forward flavor with chunks of pineapple and a chocolate swirl on the outside of the cup. Sweet Avo Toast - I was excited to try a "sweet" avocado toast. This included pistachios and a drizzle of honey. An excellent combination and quite filling! $1 Day-Old Almond Croissant - First of all, I really love that they do this instead of throwing food away. Of course it was a little bit stale, but it was still delicious! Dusted with powdered sugar and slivered almonds, there was an amaretto filling that was delightful! Looking forward to visiting again when I'm up in Syracuse! read more

Took me too long to visit this sweet spot in its up & coming area. It's very "instagramable", with its wall art, comfortable aesthetic and of course, neon sign! But does that not mean the food is subpar. We got a simple iced coffee with lavender & an iced match, they were not overpowering or too sweet. regrettably did not get any sweets this time, but our bagel & croissant sandwiches were tasty, not too messy or eggy. Although smaller, plenty of space to sit inside or out, the case was gorgeous! read more

Cafe Blue has quickly become a go-to spot. With a bunch of different seating options both indoors and outdoors, it's a great place to hunker down and get some work done. They've got a full menu of sandwiches, salads and bowls. I have to recommend the Chicken & Fig sandwich; can't go wrong when pairing Brie & fig! The chai latte left something to be desired, but I'd love to try another drink. The servers themselves were friendly and your food comes out fairly quickly! read more

Cafe Blue - Chicken & Fig sandwich (9/10) & Iced Chai Latte (7/10); sandwich was delicious, freshly made, filling. The latte was just okay - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I was so impressed! I tried an iced latte with almond milk and caramel. I get this same drink everywhere and they are one of the best to make it. They use Salt City Coffee which is great, especially for drip coffee. We also tried the sandwhich with chicken, brie, caramelized onion, and apple. Yum! Salads looked great too. They carry GF bread and appear to have a couple GF dessert options. I saw GF almond cake and flourless chocolate cake. The interior is gorgeous! You can tell a lot of thought went into it. The giant windows let tons of sunlight but it was still nice and cool inside. Free wifi. Lively atmosphere but the line moves quickly. Staff is super friendly. I will say their cappuccino was a bit oversized. They should be about 6oz but theres is closer to 12+ ounces and, as a result of that, too milky. read more

This cafe has great food and drink options- very friendly staff, and it is a comfortable place to chill and study for a little bit when there is space but it does get busy at peak times so plan accordingly! Both food and beverage quality has always been excellent and pricing is very reasonable. Parking can be farther away, they only have a few street spots near the entrance so you may need to park in the parking lot but it's worth the walk! read more

New cafe at inner harbor. Very cute inside with friendly staff. There is a decent amount of indoor seating and even more outdoor seating available. Beware, this place is quite popular so far so do not come and expect to be in and out quickly. The line was out the door. Once you finally do order, they get it turned around fast. I tried their iced lavender latte. Very good! Comes with a cute quote on each cup. I also tried the chicken and the fig sandwich. Delicious! A melty panini with the perfect balance of flavors. I loved that they use chicken thigh for this instead of just grilled chicken because it carries much more flavor with the hint of skin. I love when a panini is gooey with cheese like it's supposed to be. If you're looking for something rich yet with a touch of sweetness, this is it. They also have a ton of freshly baked goods. I'll have to try those next time. The only thing I wish I could change is that their granola has nuts in it for the smoothie bowls, which is unfortunate for those of us with allergies. read more
