Cafe Blue
720 Van Rensselaer St, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“Cafe Blue is a destination worth the weekend wait, where in-house made flavor syrups transform classics like their beloved pistachio latte into something genuinely special. The espresso-focused menu strikes a beautiful balance between traditional and creative drinks, all served in a roomy, thoughtfully designed space (complete with unexpectedly charming bathrooms) that makes it perfect for lingering over coffee with a friend. It's the kind of place where the care in every cup shines through, even if you ask for it less sweet.”

They make their flavors in house! Love the pistachio latte. There is frequently a line on the weekend- but for good reason And as a weird aside, I cant get over how cute their bathrooms are.
Sandwich was mediocre, probably wouldn’t get again. Coffee however was wonderful! Nice flavor and fairly strong, I asked for mine less sweet and it was still fairly sweet, but delicious. Service friendly as well and plenty of seating!
Went here for the first time on Saturday for a Galentine’s date. It was extremely busy. So much so that parking was basically non-existent, and the line was literally outside of the building. Was there from 10:30-12:30, and it was just as busy when we left. The place is super cute with lovely decor. The oats cafe blue was great; however, the berry in love matcha was such a let down. Very flavorless. My friend enjoyed her vanilla draft latte and chocolate hazelnut croissant.
Found this place by accident when my friend and I needed a pick me up of caffeine and a small bite. The atmosphere was great, it was roomy and had a lot of seating. The food was delicious and so we're our drinks. The line was long, but moved very quickly, and our food arrived within a few minutes. We were impressed. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area.
The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing and the space itself is beautiful. The chai was delicious and the croissant the perfect amount of soft and crispyness. Unfortunately, the service left something to be desired. The food and drinks are worth coming for, but I hope the staff can match the quality of the products with a warmer attitude.
