The Sweet Praxis

"vegans, run here! (also non-vegans, i’m sure, run here!) absolutely loved the V blueberry danish, and can’t wait to return for more sweet treats. also such a lovely location, albeit a little sterile looking but that’s very subjective. one thing i found slightly underwhelming was the menu of decaf drinks — there is no decaf coffee or espresso for their fun coffee drinks, and 3?? options of decaf tea. i’m grateful there are options! but i was really looking forward to possibly trying a blueberry latte. it just seems a little backwards in 2024 to lack decaf coffee options. i did absolutely adore my iced lavender tea (+1 pump of blackberry syrup and oat ?? milk, i can’t remember which alt milk they had), absolutely delicious. plsssss some decaf iced coffee, hot coffee, espresso though!"

"I had a very good experience here today. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, iced blueberry latte, and chocolate almond croissant. All were very tasty and the staff were kind and helpful. There are a lot of vegan and gluten-free options on the menu as well."

"The chocolate almond croissant that I ate while visiting the Sweet Praxis wasn't enjoyable for me. For one, it seemed overbaked. I've had twice-baked croissants in the past from other establishments and have enjoyed them, but this croissant was too much. As far as the flavor, I noticed butter, but I mostly didn't taste any flavors other than salty and sweet. The chocolate and almond flavors were lost to the salt and sugar. It's hard to say if there really was too much sugar, or if it was just that the salt masked the almond and chocolate flavors to where the only other flavor that came through was a general sweetness. I realize that this may be a Syracuse thing, since Syracuse is known as the "Salt City." But, I've eaten many croissants, including a wide assortment of croissants on a recent trip to Europe. That doesn't make me an expert, of course. It just means that I feel comfortable in saying that I'm a person who typically likes croissants and has eaten a lot of them. For me to not even want to finish a croissant when I'm feeling hungry is very abnormal. On the plus side, the croissant was fresh. I can't say anything about the Sweet Praxis's other baked goods, because the croissant experience made me not want to pick up anything for later. However, I do have some things that I'd like to say about the establishment itself. I found it to be cute and clean inside. I also noticed that the counter people were exceptionally professional and customer service oriented. In addition to my own interaction, I observed them interacting with other customers and was very impressed! Kudos to the counter staff! This review is not meant to discourage anyone from giving the Sweet Praxis a try. I would just encourage anyone visiting for the first time to do what I did. Try a single item and then decide if you want to purchase more."

"This is the Sweet & Spicy Sandwich (GF). It consists of a fluffy pillowy buttermilk biscuit, a farm fresh egg, harissa roasted sweet potato, cheddar cheese, spicy chipotle aioli, arugula, and zing pickled red onion. Every bite was divinely delightful."

"We used our favorite local bakery for a completely gluten-free dessert spread for our wedding in August, and every dessert was amazing! Our guests loved the maple donuts in particular, and the wedding cake they did for us was spectacularly designed! Thank you for making our day even more special!"
