What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Basement of the all-faiths chapel in the middle of campus. $2.50 for tea & bagel. Padded pews outside shop or eat in a quiet reading room nearby if repurposing religious space doesn't bother you. Mine wasn't the only laptop."
"Love that this is student run and tucked away in the lower level of the chapel building on SU’s main quad. Friendly and good fair trade coffee."
"Lovely and cheap coffee. You get what you pay for."
"I really like the feel of this place. It's really convenient and the staff are very friendly. The prices are extremely reasonable and everything is fair trade which is awesome. The food and coffee is also really good. Their chocolate almond croissant is my favorite."
"This is the place to get coffee on campus: it's student run, and not for-profit! The staff always brings a smile to my mornings. And you can't argue with the discounted baked goods from the "day-old" pile, and big discount if you bring your own mug!"
"Beautiful building located in the center of Syracuse University. Host to many groups and organizations. Center piece for the SU marching band and color..."
