    Summer Seasonal coffee flight and their breakfast sandwich, chose sausage on a croissant with spicy aioli
    Bri H.

    The service was great and very friendly first off. When you walk in it is very vibrant and clean looking with the amount of windows and bright white aesthetic. The sandwich was delicious lots of eggs, 2 sausage patties, and cheese. I chose a croissant and added spicy aioli which both were an up charge but overall still reasonably priced. The flights my friend and I weren't as impressed with this one. I think it was just how different each one was. The maple was potent and you could see the syrup at the bottom. I enjoyed it but my friend did not, you gotta be a pure ny maple lover for that one. The orange vanilla was potent as a hot beverage but wasn't easily detectable as a cold latte (my friend got hot and I got cold). Tiramisu was by far the best one the flavor was light and not overpowering just the right amount. Overall we had fun trying the 4, I'm looking forward to the fall flight!!

    St Patty's Day Cupcake!

    Great little local coffee shop and bakery! Very bright and clean inside and we always feel welcome when we stop in for a coffee or tea. My wife loves the specialty coffees and I'm a fan of some of their iced tea/lemonades I've had on several occasions. Baked goods are always fun and rotate - on our most recent visit we grabbed a St Patrick's Day cupcake (check out the pic). Prices are what you'd expect at a boutique coffeeshop and service has always been friendly. Highly recommend if you're driving through Chittenango!

    I went today and got a simple caramel swirl iced coffee, I was greeted by two very polite young ladies. The coffee was great, the service was great, and it was a nice quit and comfortable atmosphere. Will return as always.

    This was one of the best lattes I've had. I tried their samoas latte and do not regret it! You could taste the toasted coconut vividly without that artificial aftertaste. They also offer coffee flights I noticed. I wanted to try a half moon but they were out, so I'll have to stop back. It's quaint but cute inside with some seating. A very relaxed boho vibe.

    Seasonal flight was delicious!

    Great service and great coffee and food! I got the seasonal flight and breakfast sandwich and my husband got a blueberry muffin and tea.

    The homemade baked goods are delectable (I have tried the orange scone and the apple danish so far and they were incredible).

It's located inside of a shared space with a diner, so it can get a bit loud at times. There's parking available both in a parking lot and on the street, but no drive-thru, and you do have to walk up a few stairs to get inside. Such a cute little area to sit and enjoy your beverage. Overall, a great little coffee shop I enjoy visiting.

    What a cute local coffee shop! Stopped in to get a nice pick me up and get some work done. I saw on…read moretheir IG that they were promoting their summer menu which offered some coffee and matcha drinks with summer camp themed names. During my first stop, I tried the Lakeside Lavender Matcha which has a lavender syrup from the local lavender farm, Farmstead 1868. The standout, of course had to be that lavender syrup. I wish I had more of it since it compliments that earthy taste of matcha. But the drink was too milk forward for my preference. However, I did go back the next day and tried the Bear Scouts which was a cold brew with honey, vanilla, and a cold foam with cinnamon. I didn't notice until after I left that I didn't get the Teddy Graham on top. However, the cold brew was strong and smooth. It wasn't too sweet and definitely a great pick me up before my drive to the airport. The atmosphere is super cute inside even with the fireplace and the LED sign. The coffee shop is connected to the diner and also has some local products for sale. I'm already planning my fall trip back to upstate NY!

Ordered a simple coffee. Did not get a refill, not sure if they're offered. The place is small and I would say that was the only thing that made it a bit wonky to walk around.

Food was brought out quickly. I would go back to try something else.

When I read over the reviews, everyone raved about their baked goods - so of course I ordered the bread pudding in addition to a rosemary chickpea salad with grilled chicken. The salad was like a take on Thanksgiving stuffing with chickpeas. It was good a little thick but has good flavor. The grilled chicken did not have any flavor to it but once mixed into the salad it was good. The stand out for me was definitely the bread pudding. It had layers of fresh apples in between and was very moist. I really enjoyed this and even cold it was still very delicious. They mentioned to me that the apples were from a local farm, which I loved. Definitely recommend checking out the baked goods for sure.

Rather than telling the person handling the phone order that the croissants were already ordered, the cashier just apologetically smiled. It's our first time here (we told the cashier that) and she tried to offer other options, but we weren't looking for cake first thing in the morning. What's weird is that the person handling the phone order was making drinks before and after so I'm not sure if this was an order for a friend or a legitimate customer. The whole thing was disappointing and soured our opinion and experience. Seven employees were working and it still took over 10 mins to get two lattes. When served, our drinks were not hot because the espresso shots had been sitting on the counter cooling off while the milk was steamed and the flavoring added. The interstellar had good flavor but was kid's temp by the time I got it. The honey saffron didn't taste like anything and was slightly warmer, but fell flat flavorwise. Overall, the experience didn't feel particularly high end as the prices would reflect, nor efficient. I'm not sure if I would return.
