Recess coffee has chosen an excellent location to expand, directly across the street from city hall. This is an excellent location for those who work downtown to have a quality cup of coffee and sandwich, but since not a lot goes on in this vicinity on weekend mornings, parking is cinch, unlike their other location, where parking is nigh impossible 24x7, and the place is constantly filled with college kids staring at their computers, nursing one cup of coffee for three hours (again, referring to the original location, not this one). Anywho, I was impressed with my delicious pour over, and everything bagel. The wraps in the case look delicious, and I look forward to trying one on my next visit. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the whole coffee beans they sell have the all important "born on" date, instead of the nebulous "best by" date. Coffee beans are at their most flavorful when they are roasted. The further away from the roast date they are ground and consumed, the less flavorful your cup of Joe. This is a matter of days and weeks, not months. Other roasters give their beans six months to a year. This is appalling. Recess will continue to get my business because I know my coffee is very fresh, and I can taste the difference.

Not very good. I was definitely not impressed, especially since I read that this was a must hit coffee spot in the US. I ordered a Bacon, Egg and Cheese on an Everything Bagel and I was very disappointed when I received a bagel with a few pieces of everything on it. The Latte I ordered was also not very good. I would highly recommend Cafe Kubal over this spot.

I very much enjoyed the coffee; it was prepared very well and quickly. the baked good I bought was of good quality as well. it is a very cozy atmosphere which is optimal for a coffee shop. highly recommend this place.

This is my go-to coffee shop. They have some seating indoors and outdoors. WiFi is free. Coffee and snacks are nice. Great place to come and work for a bit or meet up with someone

Great local coffee. Staff is friendly and the food, though a small selection, is delicious. Limited seating at this location, but its rarely overcrowded.

Great coffee shop! B gave me a lesson in different kinds of espresso pulls - I love that kind of opportunity to learn more about coffee!

The new location is cute and airy, and conveniently located to my office! The coffee, snacks, atmosphere and employees are always 5 star.

Its just the best coffee shop in Syracuse. Best coffee, best espresso, best staff, best prices, best everything. Just go. Youll love it.

Great beverages and cookies, also sell some lunch sandwiches and things. My only complaint is the general lack of napkins.

Nathaniel Kemp

Always great coffee, great service, and phenomenal breakfast sandwiches. Bagels made here are awesome. Got to go.

My favorite thing to order is a egg cheese and avacado sandwich on a RoseMary bagel. Mmm so good!
