I wanted to grab a cup of coffee while doing some business at the City of Syracuse permit office. I didn't expect a low price cup of coffee, but at least a decent tasting cup. It was bitter, not that hot, and they offered no dairy products for creamer. The cost was $2.97. Saw the price on the cash register. I asked if that was the price for the coffee (it could have been for the previous purchase that was just checked out). The person at the register instantly went into a political rant about the current US presidential administration. I wasn't complaining about the price, though the quality of the coffee was poor. I was taken aback that he was blaming his prices for a bad cup of coffee on the current president. I really didn't want to engage, but I felt pressured to reply. I really just wanted a decent cup of coffee. Instead, I got a cup of mud and some unwanted, misinformed political opinion. I will not be returning to this business, not because of the politics but because of the lousy coffee.

Decent food (breakfast, burgers, chicken sandwiches, etc. and etc.) and friendly service. Service might rush you through to their own detriment, though. Come in for lunch and they assume you don't want dessert (at least, they did with us). Had a decent brownie from them, though, after "insisting."

I love this place. Delicious food. Centrally located diner, fast casual style eatery in downtown.
