They have a ton of flavor shots to choose from which made the choices hard, but I went with my go to caramel latte which I loved. It was more bitter than sweet, but I love the taste of strong coffee so I enjoyed it. My boyfriend got a hot americano and loved it. The most important review is from my mom who got a hot spiced brown sugar latte: she never gets any flavors because she thinks they're too much but she LOVED this latte. They have a ton or pastry choices as well and a soup of the day! Definitely a great place to hangout and drink strong coffee.

The young lady behind the counter appeared to be working alone and was struggling to keep up. It took about ten minutes to get a latte which tasted pretty darn good however when dining in, I prefer a real cup and saucer instead of a cheap carboard cup ..I did ask for one and was told they are not available... and for a $6 cup of coffee I think they should be.

The cafe was slow upon our arrival and I ordered a small Cappuccino ($5.94) and it was excellent. Location has a small outdoor patio which is very nice and the inside is beautiful with the brick walls and large windows. The only reason this wasn't a 5* review is the service we received. When someone is waiting on you and their not paying attention to you or your order, too busy restocking cup lids etc. Asking you to repeat yourself and not even looking at you.... that just takes away from the experience. .

Inside they had some listings for classic drinks as well as some specials . Being a fan of blueberry, I had to get that special. It was a hot day so I got it cold.

They have good indoor seating and picnic tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. It smelled so delicious as soon as you open the door and their menu has a lot of fun options!

The girls working Sunday morning were all so sweet and my coffee was ready super quick and good price ($5). I would love to come here more often.

They have lots of drink options, snacks, sandwiches and lunch items. There is plenty of seating and an outdoor patio as well. I love it here! We ordered drinks and food and everything was incredible and fresh. The scones and muffins were the freshest we've had. We'll definitely be back!

The coffee beans come from Yemen. This is their second location, after their first location in North Syracuse became a success. I enjoy a sweet, flavored iced coffee every now and then, and I prefer to support local roasters over larger commercial chains, so I was very happy to learn that Zaman would be opening a second location, as they have quickly become some of my favorite coffee in the CNY area. Everything about the second location is the same as the first - the location is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and all the options, both for coffee and desserts/pastries, are well prepared and delicious. Employees are mostly always pleasant and well informed on all their offerings. Happy to have a location a little bit closer to home.

Zaman is a GREAT addition to Camillus and I'm genuinely happy it is in the neighborhood…read more The iced coffee is excellent and I've worked my way through quite a bit of their deserts, including the Dubai chocolate cheesecake, baklava, biscoff cake, and the chocolate raspberry cake. Everything has been good and they have a really solid variety of deserts. One of the biggest positives is that it's open late. Camillus doesn't really have a lot of places where you can grab a good coffee and dessert later in the evening and actually hang out for a while, so Zamen fills a niche that was definitely missing. The only real knock on it is that service can be a little slow and the lines don't generally move fast. Overall, a very good spot and especially great to have here in Camillus. Good coffee, lots of desserts to choose from, late hours, and a very nice alternative to the usual chains. I'm very happy they're in the neighborhood and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

The ambiance is beautiful, warm, and inviting. If you're looking for a cozy coffee shop with a great atmosphere or a place to take some cute pictures, this is definitely worth a visit. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable while I was trying to decide what to order. They took the time to answer questions and even gave us a pastry on the house to try, which was such a nice touch. My niece and I were also vlogging during our visit, and everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. One of the things that caught my attention was their selection of the viral fruit pastries. They had several varieties with different fillings, including mango, apple, and strawberry. It was fun trying a few different flavors and seeing what all the hype was about. My absolute favorite item, though, was the rose-infused cake. It was delicious, light, and full of flavor. I would come back just for that. (& I have already been back since my first time). I also tried a few other pastries, including a pistachio cake, which were good, but the rose cake was definitely the standout for me. The only small thing I'd mention is that it was a little chilly inside, but that's certainly not enough to take away from the overall experience. Overall, this is a beautiful coffee shop with excellent customer service, delicious pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and look forward to bringing family and friends with me next time. "Come for the viral pastries, stay for the rose cake."

I didn't know if they were short staffed? But I'm sure they were limiting seating times, so the wait staff and/ or kitchen didn't get jammed up. I was alone so I was happy to get a counter seat right away. I decided on the "Double" breakfast...2 Eggs, Meat, Home Fries and a Pancake. Excellent choice for me...eggs over easy...ham....and crispy home fries. Everything was perfect and the "ham" was amazing. My perfect breakfast is savory but includes a few little bites of something sweet and thi cames with a fluffy pancake with a buttery syrup. Service was excellent from my waitress to the host.

Typical menu with a rotating pancake of the month (similar to the Burger of the Month at the ownership groups other venture, Bull and Bear). They also have a bar as is the case in most new breakfast/brunch spots. I had a fretta and my partner a simple two eggs and bacon meal. My fretta was fine, nothing special. Expensive at 17.00 for a relatively small plate compared to local competition. My partner enjoyed theirs- said the bacon was not good though. Food came out super fast. Less than 10 minutes which was surprising to say the least. ~40 breakfast for two is expensive- especially when the food wasn't anything special.

I'm off caffeine for a while so that was a way to go out lol. The staff members were kind and helpful, the shop itself is very cute and there is ample seating.
