Very inviting place. Colourful and cozy interior, friendly service. Took a bit longer than I expected for our sandwiches to be ready, but nothing unreasonable. I got the zippy grilled cheese, a peanut butter cookie sandwich, and a matcha latte. The grilled cheese and cookie sandwich were both great! The grilled cheese was super cheesy and the bread was fresh, plus I loved the peppers inside. The PB cookie sandwich with PB frosting between PB cookies is highly recommended if you are a peanut butter lover - very soft cookies, lots of peanut butter flavour. For me, the size of both the grilled cheese and cookie was just right. Wasn't crazy about the matcha. I saw their list of seasonal flavours and added a shot of the sugar free pumpkin cheesecake flavour which sounded interesting, but wasn't able to really taste the flavour or the matcha, just sweetener. Would try a different drink next time. Prices across the board are very reasonable.
This is very delicious the Panini is crispy. done quite well. Cheese oozing out of the side very hearty Bacon amazing everything you would want in Sandwich.. I got mine a little extra crispy Yummy....Definitely recommend amazing with my Coffee. Also grab some thing Sweet always make room so a little bite even to go ...Uhhh Lemon Blueberry Scones sooo good..
This is a nice clean and open space with good food. The menu options are fresh and service is fast and courteous. If you're in Binghamton you should definitely stop in.
The sandwiches were stellar! And the iced chai was heavenly. What an adorable little cafe we stumbled upon while traveling through Binghamton. Service was wonderful, staff was friendly, inviting atmosphere.
Every time we pass through Binghamton we make sure to stop! The bread is amazing! I'm a huge fan of the grilled cheese panini.
TLDR: Of all the places I tried in Binghamton, this place had the best tasting pastries and food. I was craving some pastries while on my work trip, so I walked to this local bakery (about 10 min from my hotel). Inside, there was 2 casings with different assorted pastries, and people in the back cooking and baking more fresh foods. The cashier at the front was also very friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. I ordered their blueberry lemon scone, oatmeal cookie sandwich with buttermilk crème, chicken florentine panini, and a iced americano (which I ate throughout the whole day). Their oatmeal cookie was amazing - I ate it in 2 separate sittings to save it for as long as possible. The cookie itself was one of the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had, but the cream just made it divine. Their scone was good but honestly not too unique. The panini was also good with a lot of good spinach and cheesey flavors. I honestly wish I was able to eat it which it was hot to get the full experience. Finally, the americano had a Smokey and bold taste without being acidic (gave me Colombian roast vibes). Definitely not the best americano I've ever had, but not one I would throw away either (I enjoyed it while I drank it). All in all, I wish there was a bakery like this near where I lived, because I'm sad I don't have access to it's good foods.
On our drive to the Finger Lakes, stopped here for lunch. Perfect little Café with fresh yummy sandwiches. My husband and I shared Turkey on focaccia and Roast beef on chiabatta*. Great stop!
I visited Chroma Cafe last week when waiting for a bus to arrive. It was freezing cold outside and this warm little cafe had a sign outside. Chroma serves breakfast and lunch. I had a breakfast sandwich and a cookie. Sandwich was great..and cookie was fantastic! Everything is home made. Great customer service. Younger crowd of local people who like to read and drink coffee. Great place to warm up!
We got two different gluten free sandwiches (turkey and banh mi) and they were AMAZING! Props for gluten free bread that doesn't get immediately soggy and crumbly. Definitely looking forward to another visit!
