The Sweet Praxis

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!

My absolute favorite bakery in Syracuse! Love, love, love their croissants! My favorite in this area for sure! They even take it a step further and make them into a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, cheddar cheese and spicy chipotle aioli! If you don't eat pork you can get seitan (vegan bacon) which was very good. They also have a vegan breakfast sandwich with tofu scramble, it's just as delicious as the 'regular' version. My fiance had a coffee with their house made salted caramel syrup, he loved it, I had an iced chai latte and it's one of my favorites in this area! As far as their desserts, they are just amazing. Mind blowing! I've only had a few things I didn't care for from there (everythings not for everybody) but the majority I have loved! My absolute favorite dessert I've ever had from there was a pistachio cream puff, it was perfect, I hope they bring it back next pistachio season!!
