Freedom of Espresso

Super nice staff, good coffee, plenty of bright light on big tables and comfy chairs. Delicious chocolate too. Vaguely hard to spot from the road if you’re from out of town. Pleasant surroundings.

The shop is a nice place to sit for a chat or to do some work. However, the coffee is simply awful. I had a mocha and the strongest flavor I tasted was water, which doesn't seem right to me. Neither the coffee nor chocolate flavor was near the sufficient amount.

Freedom of Espresso is always a good place to go if you're in the area! Was there over the weekend and the barista took my order even though they didn't have it on the menu technically and made accommodations to my caffeine sensitivity (and was VERY sweet about it, thank you!) This specific location is special due to its location in Franklin Square. It's a Syracuse staple in my opinion!

My breve was really good, the foam was great and the espresso was a great roast, pretty nutty and strong.
The muffin was a little bland but the coffee was great. Environment is fun, cool music that's not obnoxiously loud, clean bathroom and friendly service.

I am disappointed that Google doesn’t verify the hours of the businesses. This cute coffee shop listed as “open” has 7:30a Sunday hours but is clearly closed. FofE please keep your info up to date on Google!

Cozy locally owned coffee shop. Fantastic service, fun coffee and tea options + tasty baked goods. Never been let down by the recommendations from the barista- Eric. Our go to cafe.

I thought I already had a review on here. Best coffee shop around 4? location's. Joe Heath brew is my go to, great coffee. I've also had a mocha Carmel slush in the summer that's to die for. Staff's great , product is worth the price. Beans are fresh roasted and I grind at home. Best smell in the world. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Oh, the back story is great if you don't know it.... ☕#freedomofespresso

A great variety with quality pastries also. Had a chocolate espresso I never tried before. Was delicious with a cool presentation.

This a coffee shop for those who really care about good coffee. I cannot speak to any of the espresso based coffees, but the unique approach to roasts and blends in Freedom's brewed coffees is uncommonly creative and skilled. I enjoyed a freshly brewed blend that featured a particularly flavorful green tea "nodules" added to the grind at brewing. Simply amazing! Nothing, since my first Syrian coffee in Allepo containing freshly ground cardamom, has been this incredibly satisfying. Stop, savor and suspend your expectations of what coffee should be. Instead open yourself to what great coffee CAN be!

Walked around early on a Saturday morning and found this gem. Had a nice coffee with a shot of espresso to start my day. Nice cozy place to hang.
