Cute little cafe in Camillus. A cozy corner away from the busy Genessee st. All the basic coffee…read moreand tea options. Toast was vertically yummy but we were left wanting more from our drinks.

So glad to have a place to get smoothie bowls nearby! I absolutely LOVE getting one as a treat…read more Definitely pricey but the product is so good and the toppings are always generous. I always get the açaí base. I like the Beach Bum toppings - peanut butter that is definitely on the more natural side, chia jam (yum), crunchy, satisfying granola, and ripe sliced fruit. The service is good - I just wish it was a little quicker. It's possible to be the only customer in the store and still wait 10-15 minutes for just one bowl. Always cutely decorated and the menus are bright and easy to read. They do have a rewards program as well!

Filling and delicious. I've been here a hand full of times and every time I leave totally full and satisfied but wanting more. It's simply that good. It's easy to overload from the road, but i'm here to tell you that this is a place you have got to try. Service is always friendly! Total Friends and Family Recommendation!!!!

Needed a cup of coffee and being in the Camillus area I thought why not check it out! I love that…read moreit's in the old Camillus cutlery building. I'm soooo glad they did not demolish this building!!! They have special coffees right now for the Girl Scout cookie flavors so it was hard to choose so I'll have to come back to try others. I tried the Samoa mocha and it was delicious! Flavors just like the cookie. The service was great but it was slow being 1/2 hour before closing. The only downside was 6.56 for a small coffee but I know prices are going up on everything. Give this coffee shop a try.

I love Recess. It's…read morealways a great place to stop for coffee and a snack. I love this location too. There is plenty of seating here. And it's relatively a quiet space to work. There are a variety of drinks, pastries, food options and merch available here too. I'd highly recommend coming here. I love their lattes and bagels here. I can't wait to go back again soon.

I tried Recess coffee once at the Syracuse farmers market and bought a bag of "campfire" beans and…read moreloved them. I've been hooked ever since. So I was pleasantly surprised to come across the actual location on my way around town. Everything here is great, the ambiance is chill and relaxing, there is indoor and outdoor seating, a restroom, merchandise & whole bean coffee to buy, as well as local artwork to buy and free books to take home. My bagel was super delicious and fresh & my latte was full of flavor and kick. The baristas are the sweetest and super friendly. Highly recommended.

The crepes we shared were Pistachio and Nutella and Strawberry and Banana with Nutella. They were both delicious and a perfect dessert. The owners were incredibly friendly and gave us some pastries to try! There are a few tables and a counter for eating in but we saw several people doing take out. Nice and clean and cute inside.

I went to House of Crepes today because I heard that they had the viral mousse fruit pastries. They…read morelooked incredible and tasted even better! The mousse was smooth and creamy, the fruit jam was perfect and fresh, and the cake was moist and spongy. The chocolate on the outside even had the signature "crack" when we cut into them. I purchased a raspberry and a lemon and they were both better than I could've imagined. I also ordered a slice of cheesecake with strawberries for my Grandma and she loved it. The staff was friendly and very helpful and had great recommendations. I WILL be returning and can't wait to try more!

Super cute and inviting space! I ordered the Creekside matcha special, and a pumpkin spice donut…read more The pumpkin spice donut didnt make it to a photo it was so tasty. The creekside matcha was decent, good color, not overly sweet. It lacked a little of the oomph I look for in a good matcha, it was a little light on flavor. Still it is rare to find a place that uses real matcha in the area and not just matcha sugar. Service was nice and fast! Really pleasant.

Do NOT pass on this diner! Place is busy but wait time went by quick. They texted us when our…read moretable was ready. Cool eel named Elmo lives there when you are waiting to be seated. Menu is filled with options which made it hard to pick what to order which is an awesome "problem" to have, we all ordered breakfast and were not disappointed! I decided on the pancake/french toast flight and picked three flavors. I chose Cannoli French Toast, Reese's Pieces pancakes, and the loaded pancakes for a savory item. Cannoli was my favorite but they were all good, loaded even has an egg on top however you like it!Portion size is huge and everything tasted great!!!! They had a good challenge listed on the menu but none of us were up to the challenge! Service is amazing, and they even have a waitress warming up coffee, which I highly appreciate at places. The diner is busy but it was not too loud to hear your party and everything ran so smooth. All the servers were nice and seemed happy to work there! Menu price was shown using your card, they had a cash discount available if using cash which is a nice option! I wish I took pictures or everyone else's food but didn't. The drink options seemed amazing with make your own flights or their specials. The next time I am in the Syracuse area I will be going here to try more! Don't be afraid of the busy parking lot or wait time, it's worth it!! Also reading about the name and reason for this diner made me feel all the feels for the owners recovery, how can you NOT support a place like this??!! We will be back and can't wait to try more off their menu.

A solid meal with very good service…read more Went in today (Monday of Memorial Day Weekend) and although it was quite busy we were seated quickly and our food arrived in a very reasonable amount of time. Our server was super nice and cheerful. I ordered the waffle breakfast sandwich and matcha and felt both fell flat. I love matcha but I really try and only drink ceremonial grade. It was my mistake that I didn't ask before I ordered. This matcha was premixed and came out looking a slightly greenish off white rather than a rich grassy color. I didn't dock points for the matcha though because a ton of places don't do this drink well. My sandwich was good enough but it overall lacked flavor. The eggs were under seasoned and I wish the waffle was crispy versus soggy. It also didn't have much bacon on it. The home fries were excellent though. Perfect color and seasoning, no notes. Everyone else in my party really enjoyed their meals and I'm sure we will be back. The menu is extensive and I'm sure there are some other things that I would enjoy so I'm looking forward to trying something else next time.
