"was finally able to stop here during a visit for the holidays. my boyfriend and I ordered the breakfast burritos and they were perfectly put together. I wish we were locals so we could come here all the time!"

"After living in Syracuse for over 4 years and trying nearly every shop in the area, this is hands down the best coffee shop in the greater Syracuse area. The coffee and drinks are incredible and are always consistent day to day. Seasonally, there are some really great specials that rotate in and out of the regular drink menu. They have a really great, small food menu and have several local baked goods available as well. In addition to all of this, there is a nice selection of other locally sourced products available for purchase in the shop. Above all, the staff is incredibly friendly and the entire shop itself is a reflection of the wonderful owner, Kelsey, who is always there to chat with. Since discovering this shop, I haven’t gone anywhere else for coffee. Kelsey’s Coffee and Friends is a must stop!"

"Great place!! Chill vibes, good amount of space to sit down, baristas are very helpful when ordering!! They have cute merchandise and fun decor around the cafe!! Good drink selection as well as some baked goods and small, but filling bites to eat!! Great place to meet folks for coffee, or just come and do some work!"

"Delicious food items (best avocado toast I’ve had) and a smooth latte (medium strength). I got an iced americano next visit, and the coffee was stronger. Mixed review on service; at times friendly staff and at times very dry service. Simple and modern setting with indoor and outdoor seating. Take a little sweater or jacket - it’s generally a bit on the cold side indoors."

"We drove past this coffee shop and couldn't resist its cute exterior. Going in, their interior is just as aesthetic with its minimal design. We were greeted upon entering and noted how busy it was once we looked around. No tables to sit, as a lot of people were sitting to work on their laptops and/over socializing so it didn't seem like anyone was leaving anytime soon so we got our items to go. They have a couple seats outside as well, but these were also taken. We ended up opting for two items from their spring menu, the COCONUTHEAD which I highly recommend from how smooth it was to drink and how prominent the flavors were. The description said they use Pandan leaves for its toasty vanilla-like sweetness alongside their coconut syrup and added to their iced matcha latte. The other drink we got was their LOVEBUG, which is a green tea sweetened with passionfruit honey and has raspberry puree, making it very refreshing for this summer heat. For their washroom, you have to request a key (which was hooked onto a plastic spatula, how cute!) since it leads to the washrooms in the condominium next door. This did mean it was quite clean though!"
