The shop's name, White Rabbit Roasting Co., represents the hard times owner Amelia Bucci-Taylor…read moreovercame starting her first business. A fan of "Alice in Wonderland," she said the story helped her through those hard times. White Rabbit opened in September 2024 in the former Nickel Back Jacks redemption center at 8905 S. Seneca St. in the village. Along with coffee roasted by Bucci-Taylor, the café serves teas by Earthly Emporium in Port Byron and baked items by several local producers, including doughnuts, Danishes and muffins by Camerons Bakery in Auburn and, soon, cinnamon buns by Doughlicious in Auburn. White Rabbit also features candles by Eclectic Hedge in Port Byron, a little free library in coordination with the Weedsport Free Library, and tumblers custom-made by Lake Life Laser Studio in Auburn. A village native, Bucci-Taylor previously worked as a licensed practical nurse at Victory Sports Medicine in Skaneateles. She began roasting her own coffee as a hobby while staying home with her son, and shortly thereafter became stuck there due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Encouraged by her husband, Taih, she researched, bought machines and roasted for herself, and then friends and family. Bucci-Taylor said she tries to use the highest quality coffee beans she can find, such as specialty, fair trade and organic. At White Rabbit, it's available by the cup and by the bag. My wife and I live about 10 minutes from Weedsport, but if you know the area, you know there isn't much out here as far as food/drink go. We stopped into White Rabbit for the first time recently and were impressed with everything. The coffee was good, plenty of flavors and specials to choose from. We got a crossiant donut from Camerons that was delicious. Nicely redecorated inside. Employees were friendly, including Bucci-Taylor herself who was behind the counter slinging drinks. Prices were comparable to other coffee places. Definitely prefer giving my money to fresh roasted, local over the big chains, so we'll definitely be back.

We loved everything about walking into this place, but that's where it ended…read more We ordered croissants and someone not working the register went and grabbed the croissants we ordered for another customer who was on the phone. 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.

Visiting Shamballa Cafe today really makes me wonder: why do I even bother with chain coffee shops?…read more First and foremost: the coffee is awesome! I went with what was in the vat today: a medium roast that I believe was called blue moon. I forget the provenance of said roast (I remember it was South American), but my oh my was it good! Exactly what you want a medium roast to be: balanced, with notes of whatever chocolate or berries or leather is in there. I couldn't put the cup down! Whereas getting the sludge from the big chains down the gullet sometimes feels like a morning chore. Why is the coffee so good here? It turns out that the owner (a very friendly guy named Emmett) roasts it himself. He had several varieties on offer that were roasted within the last 24 hours, maybe even this morning. That particular minutiae is a blur as I wasn't caffeinated yet when we discussed this. But it's yet another huge benefit a local cafe provides: freshness! Another thing: Shamballa is a great restorer of faith in community and our fellow humans. Emmett and I discussed many things in my fairly brief time in his shop, but I'll never forget the empathy he displayed when discussing some current trials & tribulations. It turns out he's been down the same road, and his well-wishes and kindness made for an even finer accompaniment to the coffee than the coffee cake muffin pairing that was purchased on impulse. A double espresso was consumed on-site while 2 large coffees were taken to go. The espresso was awesome, 100x better than Sbux or Dunkin'. Total for 3 beverages? Less than $8! For later, I grabbed a 1/2 lb. of whole bean Guatemalan medium roast on Emmett's recommendation, and the coffee cake muffin was moist and delicious without being too crumbly or cloyingly saccharine. Drake's it was not! A ten spot covered the latter purchase. If I lived in Baldwinsville, I'd probably stop by here every morning! Except Sunday and Monday when they're closed. Be sure to arrive early, closing time is now noon. Please swing by Shamballa and see for yourself! Perhaps you too will ponder why we make grabbing coffee a chore, when it can be a true morning delight?

To get a good cup of tea in America, can be a challenge! If you're a tea drinker, Dunkin' Donuts seems like they're going on the right track! I usually don't order tea because it's usually ridiculous... Tiny teabag, too much water, and then they add the milk right after they put in the hot water... So the tea doesn't bloom... Not Ethan! He made the cup of tea correctly! Gave me a little serving of milk on the side! If you like tea, go here!
