They have all sorts of coffee items but also breakfast, lunch, Smoothies, locally sourced baked goods, and more. They also have many shelves of retail items to buy such as hats, shirts, cups, and more. I got a Caramel latte and an apple fritter. The latte was good but I couldn't really taste the Caramel. The fritter was not overly sweet and very fresh. I forgot to get any pics but if you're in the area, stop and check it out.

It has a reasonably sized parking lot which leads into an entry way full of plants before you enter into the cozy seating area and counter for ordering. They have a refridgerated section for baked goods, especially worth noting is their wide selection of keto cookies, cupcakes, and other "sweets" They have coffee and tea in a lot of different forms as well as lunch and breakfast sandwiches. I got the keto bagel which was good, but the egg was definitely overcooked to the point of being reminiscent of a hard boiled egg with a yolk that's gone green. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and overall I enjoyed my visit. They have a few shelves of crafts to shop while you wait for your food and it's overall a welcoming place to browse or stay and drink your drinks and eat your food

They have a ton of flavor shots to choose from which made the choices hard, but I went with my go to caramel latte which I loved. It was more bitter than sweet, but I love the taste of strong coffee so I enjoyed it. My boyfriend got a hot americano and loved it. The most important review is from my mom who got a hot spiced brown sugar latte: she never gets any flavors because she thinks they're too much but she LOVED this latte. They have a ton or pastry choices as well and a soup of the day! Definitely a great place to hangout and drink strong coffee.

There was an odd experience where I ordered two drinks and for some reason order got combined into one drink...but it worked out and was remedied quickly. The drive up feature is cool, and at night it had a fun glow while waiting. I ordered the Cloud9 Matcha with sugar free syrups. The drink itself tasted good, but was soooo sweet that I personally wasn't too impressed even with it being fake sugar. I had to split it up into two servings since it was like candy. I also did learn that the matcha isn't sugar free after. Its also strange to me that prices weren't listed anywhere, but I found it to be average pricing.

The staff kept it moving quickly and def seemed to be getting their steps in. I prefer ordering online for pick up (not an option here), but I can see why that would complicate things in this case. I do wish they had a posted menu at the drive through. It's a bit strange that it's only online. They have everything ranging from coffee, smoothies, shakes, soda, to energy drinks. There are tons of flavor combos and options to customize. They prob have the most SF options I've seen offered. The price was very fair for the size of the beverage. I got a medium and it was bigger than expected. I got the crème brûlée latte. I wouldn't call it the best I've ever had, but it was def on the good side of the spectrum. I appreciate that there was lots of ice yet it wasn't watery. The flavor didn't come through as much as I would've liked, but the espresso was of decent quality.

They also have a little gift shop area with merch, candles, etc and also all very cute. The place is very open and clean and lots of potential for some cute decor.

The vibe was relaxed and low-key, making it a good place to sit down and get some work done. I spent some time working while I was there and appreciated having a space where I could focus without feeling rushed. The staff was pleasant, and one of the employees was kind enough to take a picture for me when I asked, which I appreciated. The only thing that stood out to me was that there wasn't much of a greeting or acknowledgment when I walked in, but it wasn't a huge issue. The seating was okay. The chair I chose wasn't the most comfortable for an extended stay, but it got the job done. There was also some rock music playing during my visit, which helped create a casual atmosphere. I didn't order any coffee or food this time around, so I can't speak to the menu yet. This visit was more about finding a place to work and unwind for a bit. Would I come back? Yes. While I'm still searching for my go-to coffee lounge in Syracuse, Recess is definitely a spot I'd visit again. It has a chill, unpretentious vibe that makes it easy to settle in and spend some time there. I forgot to take more pictures will do when I go back.

There's on street parking on the block it's on and surrounding blocks. There's also an abandoned store across the street with a small lot, which is where I wound up parking. The space is small but I didn't have any trouble finding a seat, though I imagine that might be a different case later in the day or during peak study time for the students. I got an ube iced coffee special with oat milk, and impulsively ordered the breakfast burrito too. I figured if they have shirts advertising the burrito, it must be good. The decor is very trendy and chic and well-curated, and you'll feel super hip hanging out here. The coffee was alright but my shot was a bit on the bitter side - assuming this was just a one-off. The breakfast burrito lived up to the hype. Fluffy eggs, perfectly crispy pressed tortilla, a flavorful aioli generously slathered all over the plate. Definitely one of the places to come (if not THE place) in Syracuse if you want a breakfast burrito. Unfortunately for me, the WiFi was down when I went, so I couldn't actually do my work and didn't stay long. Womp womp. Perhaps unavoidable, but definitely not ideal for a coffee shop. I wish I'd brought a book with me that day or had more time just to spend, because I'd say this spot is great for silent reading and unplugging more than working or socializing. Worth checking out, for the aesthetics and the tasty egg burritos.
