At the counter they have a case of baked goods, I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, but my partner found it too dry. The employees were super nice, which is always a plus at a business where customizing your order is part of the process. I will say that the pu-er tea late that I ordered was very weak. Even with a cinnamon brown sugar flavor shot it felt lacking. They sell a large variety of loose leaf teas, shirts, granola, and other goodies. For those who are religious, they have a prayer board where you can write prayers and hang them up. If I was going off just aesthetics the place looks great, but the tea was lacking, and the cinnamon roll only appeased 1 out of 2 people so I think I'm forced to give it a 3 out of 5.

There are local things for sale by crafters, as well as a lot of religious references in decor. I am not sure if that is just the time of year. There are a lot of loose leaf tea options, and you can buy them brewed or not, also breakfast and baked goods. Today I picked up a "Bonfire Babe" Tea Latte with sugar free chocolate chip​ cookie dough syrup and a cinnamon roll. I personally felt that my tea, although tasty, was weak and mostly flavored by the syrup although even that was on the lighter side. The cinnamon roll in my opinion was dry and not very fresh unfortunately. It may have been an off day.

I was looking for a coffee shop in Syracuse that had a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere and stayed…read moreopen later than most cafes, so I decided to check out Recess. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. 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.

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.

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.

The young lady behind the counter appeared to be working alone and was struggling to keep up. It took about ten minutes to get a latte which tasted pretty darn good however when dining in, I prefer a real cup and saucer instead of a cheap carboard cup ..I did ask for one and was told they are not available... and for a $6 cup of coffee I think they should be.

Sunshine's Coffee Shop, located just off Carrier Circle, was founded by Patrick & Lorene Dadey in…read more1979 and has become a staple of the community since. They are a fast casual breakfast & lunch shop whose main selling point is they keep things simple and cheap. I've driven by Sunshine's many time, as it's on my way to work. I have gone twice now for breakfast. The first time, I got one of their sandwich specials with a bacon & ham omelet with cheese on a bagel. I've also tried a sausage, egg & cheese on a croissant, along with their home fries & hash browns. Here's the thing...nothing here is BAD. But it is bland. Sunshines is exactly what they market themselves as - fast, cheap and SIMPLE. Nothing is seasoned enough, their potatoes are slightly undercooked (as in very soft, no crisp to them, not raw), and even their meats don't seem to have much flavor to them. If all you're looking for is a VERY simple meal, Sunshine has you covered. If you're looking for something with some more flavor or creativity, it may not be the breakfast spot for you

I've actually thought about this review for a while because Sunshine is a spot that many tried &…read moretrue locals frequent. It's a lovely little spot especially if you are looking to get breakfast on the go but they do have limited seating. Depending on the time & day you arrive- the place may be packed or you may be able to get in & go. These are not things to keep you away but an honest acknowledgment that they work very hard to make you your order as quickly as possible but sometimes there are a lot of people who had the same idea as you to stop by. I've tried a few things there but I always come back to their breakfast sandwiches. They're made fresh. They have a variety of options. They always get handed to you hot as they are made to order. They usually have some form of doughnuts or even sweet options in the fridge- fruit, baked goods, pudding, etc. They have a great fridge selection of beverages like sodas or juice. They have very good fresh coffee there that to my experience is always hot. It's overall a great spot to grab a bite to-go & support local.

Because of that experience I did not visit for a couple years. At my work, there were draft oat milk lattes from salt city coffee for staff appreciation which were phenomenal. I even ordered a gallon for my daughter's birthday party(for the parents). Recently, I have ordered 2 lattes that were good. There is a discount if you bring a reusable mug. There are several tables, which are close together. As long as there aren't many other customers it's comfortable. The bathroom could use a new floor and I would appreciate a changing table - I ended up taking my baby to the car to change him.
