I sat at the counter and my server was great... very friendly and happy I was there. I got there around 7:30AM and it was basically dead, but by the time I left, there was a steady line of folks coming in. Their menu has all the typicals that these places have, many things I enjoy. I tried their corned beef hash (which I requested well-done with jalapeños added), scrambled eggs with cheese, and I also got a side of their breakfast potatoes with sausage gravy on top. The food came out quickly and was piping hot & freshly made. The quantity of potatoes for a single side dish were HUGE! Definitely enough to share. The scrambled eggs were PERFECTLY made! I'm an egg snob, I never want any over-cooked egg visible (no brown) and these were perfectly colored and tasted great. The corned beef hash was good as well. Overall, I enjoyed this visit and I would most definitely return!

I got the sausage gravy over home fries for the first time and I have never had anything like it - it was warm and salty and had a nice crunch with the cooked home fries. The pancakes were obviously delicious as well. We got helped right away by an amazing server and our food was out within 15 minutes! There were a lot of people but the noise level was great and everyone seemed to be having a yummy and amazing time.

I don't mind waiting a little longer for a gluten free breakfast sandwich knowing that he cracks eggs fresh on the griddle every time. The sandwiches do not leave you feeling hungry! The loaded tots are truly loaded and could easily make another meal. It feels like highway robbery getting such a delicious, non frozen sandwich for the same price as a lousy Dunkin equivalent. This is a hidden gem tucked away in the first level of an office building. They have great specials, huge portions, and I love supporting a smaller business. I've heard great things about their catering! Looking forward to trying their lunch next.

At first the location seems less than promising, but inside the little touches of decor make for a charming, if not polished experience. It is still largely a bar that serves food, but the food is impressive in both quality and low price. The little details like in-house made desserts, house ranch dressing, and hand cut fries are a pleasant surprise. The organization behind staggered brunch seating lends itself well to good availability of items, freshness, and service. The menu includes frequently updated seasonal choices. This is also a LGBTQ+ bar. Brunch menus are regularly posted on Facebook, and the process for text message based reservations is convenient. Possibly one of the most surprisingly good restaurants in the greater Syracuse area.

Since covid, Wegmans stopped making them and we haven't been able to find them anywhere. Bagel Bagel has them. While there I grabbed myself a Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar on a Plain Bagel. It was amazing! The ratios were perfect. All the ingredients worked in harmony and no one item took over. The cheese was melty, the egg was fluffy, and the bacon was crispy. Absolutely delicious! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Not in my neighborhood but I will be back.

I had the Buck and my partner a sausage egg and cheese of which I forget the name. Both were very large and tasty. I'd like to try another sandwich next time I'm there as the spicy strawberry jam on the Buck was not to my personal preference. My partner enjoyed theirs thoroughly. We also ordered a s'mores cookie for later alongside a cold brew and OJ. 39 and change for two large sandwiches, two drinks, and a specialty cookie seems steep but for the quality I'd say it's worth it as a treat. The staff member at the window was incredibly friendly which was great- makes you feel like you're supporting good people by buying local. I'll go again and I think if it's not too far you should try it, too.

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!

I asked for no ice and ordered the large, I paid $10.80. When I received the drink it was a small with ice. I told the cashier that I ordered a large and she in turn said she accidentally put it in as a small. I asked her why the small cost so much - her reply is that I was charged an extra $2.00 for no ice! They did remake my coffee with no ice. They are charging their customers $2.00 for no ice and not informing the customer of this extra cost. Morally ridiculous!

We had a reservation for a Friday night and i'm glad we did because the place was packed, which it normally is! We were even 15 mins late and they were super nice about it and had no problem keeping our table for us. All the staff are very friendly and can give an answer to any question on the menu very quickly. I really do like everything about the preserve and will keep coming back! It's also nice they have a parking lot and don't have to street park.

It's the main side on half of the menu items. The artwork is really nice. It took 45 minutes to get an appetizer....not sure how that happens, as they were not that busy and there is literally 15 people back in the kitchen. I waited 30 minutes for food and figured I would work on this review for the next 15 minutes while I still wait for salads. My wings that I ordered did not get made until the server realized they were not coming. The salads were good, kids complimented a salad! The wings were good too, kids enjoyed those. They adjusted the bill for the delay to their credit. Probably will never come here again but the staff works really hard in the front of the house.
