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!

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.

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!

Great coffee. Still a nice place to relax and read the paper or you can go across the street, sit, drink your coffee and relax in the park and listen to the water fountain.

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

Friendly service. Delicious butterscotch decaf latte. Also picked up an FE mug and a bottle of chai infused maple syrup. LledaMcCurtywrites.com

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.

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!

It has limited outside seating however across the street is a beautiful urban park. Coffee drinks are top notch. It is a coffee shop, no meals.

$7.50 for a Latte is getting out of hand.

Ordered a matcha latte and there was no matcha in it. Drink came out white not green, very disappointed!

Very calm, warm, and welcoming environment. Great for studying, plenty of room, and most folks in there are occupied with books, newspaper, laptops, or quiet date. Staff is friendly and helpful. The place is clean, and easy to find.

My latte was literally all milk and and very very little splash of matcha. Had to ask for a re-do and he did the same thing. I’m not a coffee maker or anything but I feel like that’s not how you make coffee or a latte. I would love to keep supporting our locals, but that needs to get fixed before I go back there.

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. The staff is all soo friendly and they welcome your furbabies here! My Chanel loves the peanut butter biscuits they offer. I ordered the White Chocolate Mocha with Almond Milk. They make it better than Starbucks! Thanks for just being amazing people and business owners! ♥️♥️
