Great spot to enjoy some coffee and snacks. Beautiful decor and simple setting. Kind and friendly hospitality. I got a zucchini vegan muffin and latte β˜•οΈI tried the Valencia cold brew based on recommendations- it was a full and rich flavored cold brew with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Slightly sweet, but not overwhelming flavor 🧊 β˜•οΈ πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

I have been a customer for almost 2 years, but have only been to the physical store one time. I am a loyal online customer. The website is easy to navigate and the coffee is roasted fresh and I receive it maybe 2 days later. An awesome service and the coffee is the best.

Great staff and delicious coffee. I got the Cuselandia and Im never drinking anything else ever again. Very cute house!

Review β„–4

The coffee here is high quality. The pastry I got, which had squash and ricotta, was the quintessential Autumnal savory treat. The pasty fought itself was flavorful and flaky, the cheese, squash, and black pepper married perfectly, and the pumpkin seeds added the perfect crunch. Staff was quite friendly, and the space is lovely and welcoming as well. Ill certainly be back! I look forward to feeling safe dining inside again someday, but of course tipped the barista for my to-do order, because they certainly deserved it.

The salt city coffee shop is a cute little spot to spend for the afternoon or just do some work. I ordered summer special lavender berry latte and regular ones and both regular iced latte and they tasted so good. I love the no straw design.

The Mexico (Brew/Drip) and Brazil (V60 pour over) were good cups of coffee. But the Atmosphere was exactly what I love! This didnt have a business vibe to it; I felt like I crashed at my best friends buddies place and woke up to a great aroma. Thanks for the good vibes Salt City Coffee...Cheers!

Absolutely brilliant. There’s no reason why this establishment shouldn’t have five stars across-the-board. The quality of the coffee and food is exquisite. The staff is friendly and approachable. Everything is clean and has a calming uniqueness. I just moved here and will be making an appearance very often. I saw that they have a one star from someone that hadn’t explained why. I assume it’s from a troll. Very happy to have found this place.

A friend suggested Salt City for an early-morning meeting. Was there once before, pre- pandemic, and it appears it has survived post-pandemic. Theres still an undeniable ambience and charm of a century-old structure that has always been cared for with pride. That alone is worth the visit.

Review β„–19

Great coffee at a reasonable price. The perfect cafe. Terrific ambiance, love the decorations and the location. They are on the first floor of a remodeled old Syracuse home. Great space for grabbing a bite with folks from work or just hanging with friends. The Thai Turkey sandwich is incredible and they do a wonderful job with espresso drinks. In the area, my favorite coffee shops are Cafe Kubal, Recess, and Broadway. They all do a great job. Salt City, however, has become my go-to place. They close at 4pm and have some hours on Saturday so this isnt the place for doing that late night research (Recess is better for that), but perfect for a quick work getaway or to prep for your afternoon meeting.

Salt City? A newish, awesome Cuse tradition. Love their coffee, of course, but they have these tasty vegan pop tarts too. And the breakfast sandwiches are yum too. Not sure if they have plant protein options, perhaps Salt City could let me know (which would be a great kindness)?

I stumbled onto this coffee shop and was pleasantly surprised. They roast their beans in house and the atmosphere provided here is amazing. The music is kept low so talking to the people you are with is easy and the seating makes it feel homey and warm. The cold brew is fantastic and the perfect way to start the day. Definitely give it a try

Adorable place, kind staff, good strong community vibes. (Saw people greeted by name.) Ample parking in back. They even have air filters running inside (for COVID Im guessing) and I was very happy to see all employees wearing masks properly the whole half hour I was there! Looking forward to trying more on the menu!

Surprising gem in a borderline neighborhood. Trendy and welcoming atmosphere inside with table seating and comfy chairs. Friendly/helpful staff. Parking is available in the back. Outdoor seating available. Lots of delcious drink options and menu items. Options to buy roasted beans and even pay it forward to treat someone else to a coffee or bagel with large tokens on their menu board.

I love Salt City! It’s right by my work so when I want to treat myself to a good coffee or grab a quick breakfast or lunch it’s my go to spot. Their breakfast sandwiches are fresh cracked eggs and the salads are so good! I’ve even used the space for meetings with coworkers! Customer service is top notch and the space is really nice.

Excellent coffee! Great service. Pleasant, cozy, comfortable environment most days (except when there are a bunch kids running around in there, its too small for that). I wish they had some vegan food options. It would be nice to have a snack with my coffee.

I absolutely love this little coffee shop. The bagel sandwiches are a must have, along with the homemade pop-tarts. The coffee has always been fantastic too. The one and only downside is the price, things are just a little high. However, you get what you pay for, so it’s 4/5 stars from me!

Outstanding coffee at a price that is reasonable for gourmet. The location is less than convenient and the entrance to the back parking lot is easily missed. If they were located more centrally downtown, I would be a regular for sure.

Absolute favorite place to go in Downtown Cuse. What I love most is their consistency. You know what your coffee or latte is going to taste like every time you walk in. Which is very hard to find these days with different coffee shops. Maria and Aaron are amazing! Cant wait to get back in and have a breakfast burrito 😍😍

I love this little coffee shop! They have a β€œpay it forward” wall where you can purchase a coffee or bagel for someone, or take a token and redeem it if you could use a free coffee. The employees there are so pleasant. I love that my office is close by so that I can support this small business!

Great place to grab a bite and coffee. Their everything bagel with bacon and chives is sublime if you order it lightly toasted. The staff aims to please and are prompt. My main reason for giving it 5 stars is they have a pay it forward wall for coffee or a bagel, theyre definitely worth supporting as a good local business!
