Crema's Take

Strong Hearts Cafe is an all-vegan spot in Syracuse that's surprisingly satisfying even for committed meat lovers, with standout comfort foods like their creamy mac and cheese and surprisingly convincing plant-based takes on classics like Reuben sandwiches. The bright, fun atmosphere makes it equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick coffee and pastry or settling in for a leisurely meal, and they've clearly nailed their baking program with treats like their sweet and sassy molasses creation. With an impressive 4.7 rating from nearly 2,000 reviews, it's become the go-to spot for both dedicated vegans and flexitarians looking for genuinely craveable food that happens to be plant-based.

There are no vegan options at SYR so I stopped at Strong Hearts on the way. Grabbed the Rueben sandwich and didn’t get to eat til after I parked, made it through security, and found my gate. By that time, it was no longer hot but it was still delicious. Additionally everyone at the restaurant was very kind and the sandwich came out lightning fast. Thank you for your service Strong Hearts! 🐱💚🐷🌱🐮💚🐶

As a meat and cheese lover (trying to eat less of both), I’m so glad I tried this place- it’s delicious! I also felt more full after just half my meal, which usually doesn’t happen. Will definitely be back!! I got the sassy chicken sandwich with truffle fries and it was all so good!!!

First time stopping in for a little snacks snack! I love vegan Mac and cheese and I enjoy trying every vegan restaurant’s “cheese” offerings. This place has excellent shell pasta Mac and cheese it was super creamy and had a nice flavor. The atmosphere was bright and it had ample outdoor seating. I also got a coconut “milk” shake which hit the spot! The baker cabinet looked amazing but ai was already so full from the Mac! Definitely a great spot to check out in Syracuse. Also has a very nice and outgoing staff! I felt welcome right away!

We sought out this all vegan restaurant while dropping our son for camp at Syracuse. The food was outstanding, and the vibe is fun and bright. We ordered more comfort type foods which were quite tasty. The Mac and cheese was especially nice.
