Salt City Coffee
720 University Ave, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“Just steps from SU's campus, this welcoming spot nails the art of the everyday latte while keeping things thoughtfully simple—their consistently well-steamed cappuccinos and signature avocado bagels have earned devoted regulars. The baristas genuinely remember you, the music hits just right, and the casual vibe makes it equally perfect for a quick caffeine fix or lingering over pastries and conversation with friends.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

The best place to order a hot latte around campus. It is always my go to drink from here. The baristas always prepare your drinks with the same standards. The coffee is never burnt, the milk is well frothed, and the latte art always looks gorgeous. Love this place!
