What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Me and my friends stopped by to grab a nice coffee. We all ordered the miso salted caramel latte. The drink was well balanced and not too sweet which is typical for most coffee places around. We had my dog with us and the owner was so great with him giving him lots of pets and cuddles. 10/10 definitely recommend!"
"Wow some locals in these reviews are absolutely bitter! Trust me when I say this - The Society is a wonderful addition to downtown Syracuse. Syracuse NEEDS this! I make my own matcha at home because there not one single cafe here that can make good matcha or use ceremonial grade & I finally found a place here that makes an amazing matcha latte. I’d highly recommend trying the matcha einspanner (incredibly delicious!) & their signature coffees. The decor and interior of this establishment is super unique and something new and refreshing for syracuse. I’m a NYC native - and I’m utterly obsessed with the society. The drinks are delicious and the smoothies are also so so refreshing. It’s ridiculous people are complaining about the price… it’s $8 to get any sort of grande and venti latte/coffee in starbucks, $8 in freedom of espresso (local), and etc i can go on. I honestly don’t think the price is uncommon or outrageous especially in 2025. Just appreciate the handcrafted made drinks, a new local business to support, the ambiance, and that a new local cafe that’s spacious to do work or to hang out with your friends, go on a date, or even host your club meetings & serves more than just coffee! if you don’t agree with the price or care for a “trendy” cafe in “your city”, then go somewhere else. I’m excited to see The Society thrive and hope the community embraces it!"
"It’s a beautiful cafe and the baristas are always very friendly! My latte was yummy and I love that they have some homemade syrups."
"Cute spot! I got the Baklava Latte and loved the flavor and the workers were super kind and helpful. Excited for this addition to CNY!"
"I’ve been loving The Society Coffee Shop & Juice Bar lately. It’s such a refreshing addition to downtown Syracuse and feels thoughtfully curated from the moment you walk in. The space is bright, modern, and welcoming — the kind of place you can stop in for a quick coffee or stay awhile catching up with friends or getting some work done. Their drink menu really stands out. The coffee is consistently great, with creative lattes and matcha options that feel elevated but still approachable. The juices and smoothies are just as impressive fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. It’s one of those spots where you actually want to try something new each visit. What really makes The Society special is how much it prioritizes community. They host a variety of events that bring people together in a genuine way, turning the space into more than just a coffee shop. It feels like a place where connection actually happens — whether you’re stopping by for a drink or attending one of their thoughtfully planned gatherings. Overall, it’s a place that feels current, community-oriented, and well executed. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re downtown and want a great drink in a beautiful space."
"The place is very pretty inside with lots of windows and mood lighting, but the prices are just outrageous. $7.50 for a latte and $16 for a smoothie- $19.30..."
