About
Strong Hearts Cafe is open nearly every day until 8pm, with extended hours until 9pm on Friday and Saturday, making it an easy stop for a late lunch or early dinner. This is Syracuse's only 100% vegan restaurant, serving all-day breakfast, sandwiches, salads, soups, and 33 different milkshake flavors since 2008. The owners, vegan straight edge hardcore kids with roots in the local scene, created a space that's welcoming to all while staying true to their ethics. Don't expect fancy decor: the cafe is on the ground floor of an apartment building, giving it a lived-in, neighborhood feel.
The crowd leans toward the progressive and health-conscious, with a mix of hippie types and students from nearby Syracuse University. Outdoor seating and free wifi make it a comfortable spot to hang out. If you want to keep the night going, Alto Cinco is a short walk away for vegan-friendly Mexican fare and margaritas. Just a heads up: the coffee has mixed reviews, so you might want to stick with one of those famous milkshakes.

“hip pee”
This cafe attracts a lot of hippie types, which is pretty standard for coffeehouses. It's located on the ground floor of an apartment building, which feels a bit odd. The hippies might have unkempt hair, but they definitely know how to make tasty tofu scrambles. The coffee, however, was terrible. I'm not sure what they're putting in it, but it doesn't resemble coffee at all.
