    A donut shop and laundromat in the same place. Genius!!! The donuts were delicious. There's also a Native American store connected to the place.

    Great donuts! Everyone was happy with what we bought. Not a lot of options but this worked well. Easy to drive by and not notice place.

    Super fun, surmising little gem nestled in the front entrance of a laundromat.

    It was an adjustment moving to Carthage from Syracuse. There isn't a great deal of shopping around…read morefor food and dining, you kind of just have what you have. With that said, I feel very lucky to have this place right next to me. I have a great donut place that doesn't leave me missing all the options I left behind. I found this place early on, and it quickly became cemented into our Saturday morning routine. If I weren't such a shut in, this would easily be my go to place to hang out and relax with a donut and a latte. Super welcoming place you'd be happy to sit down in. These are top tier donuts I'd compare to any other revered place you've been to. I don't normally go for headlights, but here they're my first choice because the frosting is perfect. Even the simple donuts are a straight up euphoric experience. They don't do food outside of donuts and sometimes some other baked goods. Then they have a full coffee/espresso menu. This past summer they started using the location for the Afternoon Scoop, where they're not afraid to combine these donuts with soft serve or Perry's ice cream. And huge bonus points to them for staying open through the winter. It definitely gets expensive coming here. I may just be out of touch with normal prices, but it feels kind of high here, with donuts starting at $2.00 a piece. The only other drawback is that they can sell out any time. Some mornings I show up at 10:00 and there's almost nothing left. If anything, it speaks to the quality of the product, and you can always get around it by showing up early.

During a time when many businesses were just trying to keep the doors open and the lights on this donut shop was born. For many of us we appreciate the fact that we have an alternative to DD. Well here we are a place we can go grab a half dozen donuts and coffee and head to work. Anyone that knows that making donuts is both an art and a passion. Not to borrow from the other aforementioned but there is a reason for the image of "it's time to make the donuts" and early rising of the donut man. The same is true today. It takes dedication and attention to deal. Here the proof is in the first bite. Here I think there is something for everyone from the more standard donut to the more premium. I was delighted when I found they have pistachio flavor for your latte. I've been asking around for the past two years when I first had a pistachio latte in the Adirondacks of all places. Again, it was a nice diverge from the normal and the everyday. I give the new owners and staff props for braving this new economy and hope they continue with what they have going.

    Came into The Hot Cafe for breakfast and ordered the breakfast sandwich. It wasn't very busy--no…read moreline when I arrived, and most people seated already had their food--so I was surprised that my sandwich still took about 30 minutes to come out. I had great expectations because of reviews and I hate to leave a negative review on popular places. The cashier/server was friendly, and the place has a classic small American café vibe, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark for me. The "crispy cheese" just tasted burnt rather than crispy, and there were way too many greens--cilantro and parsley--which completely overpowered the sandwich. I also didn't care for the sauces at all. Overall, it wasn't a good sandwich. I didn't even finish it and ended up going somewhere else to eat. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, I don't think I'd come back.

    I'm so glad I found The Cafe Hot while looking up places for breakfast in town. When we visited in…read moreSept. 2025 the street in front was under construction, but I promise it is worth it. The menu is a little chaotic and hard to read, but I did my research beforehand and knew I probably wanted the brakefast sandwich. Luckily Nate ordered the special number 8 and my friend got the basterd bing, so we all kind of shared. Everything is vegetarian! The employee taking our order was super friendly and kind, very much appreciated! We also got some coffee drinks and a donut to share. The donuts are made with biscuit dough, which was interesting and tasty. The texture is quite dense but not dry. Our food was ready quickly and the portions were large - you could definitely share something if you're not super hungry. I need to take a moment to talk about the number 8 sandwich. It BLEW MY MIND in the greatest way ever. I LOVE when I eat foods I've never had, even more so when those foods are delicious and mind-boggling. This is a breakfast sandwich on a tasty sesame bun and it features chicken fried egg. So imagine a pile of scrambled eggs that they somehow deep fry(???) and it turns into something that so closely resembles fried chicken it's wild. Seriously I'm still thinking about this sandwich. I know it sounds so weird but really you just have to try it. The brakefast sandwich was good, but VERY MESSY. Plan for lots of napkins. I will be back for the number 8.
