The sandwiches were stellar! And the iced chai was heavenly. What an adorable little cafe we stumbled upon while traveling through Binghamton. Service was wonderful, staff was friendly, inviting atmosphere.

I visited Chroma Cafe last week when waiting for a bus to arrive. It was freezing cold outside and this warm little cafe had a sign outside. Chroma serves breakfast and lunch. I had a breakfast sandwich and a cookie. Sandwich was great..and cookie was fantastic! Everything is home made. Great customer service. Younger crowd of local people who like to read and drink coffee. Great place to warm up!

On our drive to the Finger Lakes, stopped here for lunch. Perfect little Café with fresh yummy sandwiches. My husband and I shared Turkey on focaccia and Roast beef on chiabatta*. Great stop!

Love their new location. Much prettier and so spacious! Pistachio cookie: ***** Papaya bar: *** (just wasn't a fan of the flavor, though texture was great) Chocolate pecan pie: **** French toast muffin: *****

Iced Americano

TLDR: Of all the places I tried in Binghamton, this place had the best tasting pastries and food. I was craving some pastries while on my work trip, so I walked to this local bakery (about 10 min from my hotel). Inside, there was 2 casings with different assorted pastries, and people in the back cooking and baking more fresh foods. The cashier at the front was also very friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. I ordered their blueberry lemon scone, oatmeal cookie sandwich with buttermilk crème, chicken florentine panini, and a iced americano (which I ate throughout the whole day). Their oatmeal cookie was amazing - I ate it in 2 separate sittings to save it for as long as possible. The cookie itself was one of the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had, but the cream just made it divine. Their scone was good but honestly not too unique. The panini was also good with a lot of good spinach and cheesey flavors. I honestly wish I was able to eat it which it was hot to get the full experience. Finally, the americano had a Smokey and bold taste without being acidic (gave me Colombian roast vibes). Definitely not the best americano I've ever had, but not one I would throw away either (I enjoyed it while I drank it). All in all, I wish there was a bakery like this near where I lived, because I'm sad I don't have access to it's good foods.

Food is always thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and the staff kind. Unfortunate they aren't open longer during the day.

Very happy to have discovered this gem! I stopped here for lunch with my dad just after they opened…read moreat 11:30 am Thursday. It was quiet when we arrived, but more customers were streaming in by the time we left, many of whom seemed to be regulars and have a good relationship with the staff. Our waitress and the other staff were all really sweet. Besides their food menu, which caters to a variety of tastes and diets, they also have a cocktail menu, and extensive wine and tea menus. I really like that they can do lattes made to order (hot or iced, sweet or unsweetened) with any of the teas they offer - I got a tea latte with the Chocolate Cream Truffles tea. It was very pretty to look at (topped with foam and dusted with cocoa powder) and also tasted nice and smooth. My Tempeh Reuben and side of Kale Slaw were so good! All the individual components of the sandwich were tasty and together they were perfectly balanced. I was just so excited to see this on the menu because I love the Swiss cheese/kraut/sauce combination of the traditional Reuben but can't have the meat, so I was very happy to be able to enjoy it with tempeh. I had a taste of my dad's vegetarian chili too. It was very tasty and a little sweeter than most chilis which was interesting. I had a vegan chocolate cupcake for dessert. This was less "interesting" than the rest of the food I got but still good. The shredded coconut on top was a nice touch. Definitely a place I'd visit again! They also have dinner specials and occasional special brunches which I'd love to check out sometime.

I like this place. Lots of vegan options. Good coffee. Cute vibe. Friendly service. Affordable.read more

So we had to choose a new breakfast place as our usual stop is closed on Monday. This choice was…read morebasically accomplished by using Google and seeing the massive list of places in the area and choosing one we haven't been to yet. Oh my gosh I'm glad we did this one.. Isn't much to look at when you walk in but it's basically a diner so what do you really expect? . Menu isn't huge but what they do they do very well. First thing I noticed when the breakfast came to the table was that the potatoes were fried in butter. A lot of places we have gone to use a little oil on the flat top, nope this place uses butter. And not that cheap imitation butter either they use some real butter. Those potatoes were incredible. We both had the steak and eggs, we both ordered the steak or air which for a breakfast steak is about a 25 second window before it's overcooked, and these guys nailed it. Everything else we had was really good including the French toast. A lot of places have it rather soggy, this wasn't crispy but it was well, let's just say less soggy. We asked him about other things we like for example the sausage biscuits and gravy which they only do on Saturday so we have to go back now. I also want to try their breakfast sandwiches because I was talking to them about these, and for those that are in this area that remember a place on I think Broad Avenue called Pasquale's.. well Pasquale's used to have the best breakfast sandwiches, and the Clinton diner here is telling me that they make theirs a little bit bigger. Definitely has my interest peaked. So anyway yes, I definitely recommend this place. The prices were not too bad really, all of the food we have here I think was about $30. For two steaks, and basically a third order of French toast, I'd say not too bad.

Cute local diner with a hometown and retro feel. We stopped through when we were passing by on a…read moreroad trip. We only needed coffee but the staff was friendly and accommodating. They told me they use a special blend of 2 kinds of freshly roasted beans to get a perfect flavor. We were just in time for a fresh pot! Coffee was hot and fresh. Not quite as strong as we usually prefer but it was perfect to sip and kept us caffeinated on our morning drive. Plus at $2 a cup it was a steal. If we are around here again we would absolutely try their breakfast.
