Unbelievably delicious food! - Edit
I was recommended this place by a friend of mine who’s a Syracuse native. As a vegan, I was absolutely blown away by their delicious food! Their mozzarella sticks are TO DIE FOR and are one of the best vegan alternatives to cheese I’ve ever had. Their mac and cheese was phenomenal too, and such a wonderfully kind staff.

Strong Hearts has my heart. - Edit
I’ve been coming to Strong Hearts since before I was fully vegan. I lived in Rochester and would have to work in Syracuse at times, and I think it was around 2013 when I found them. I went from stopping by on road trips through the ‘cuse to making special trips out there because I love it that much! My next visit to the area isn’t until the spring and I’m already plotting on how I’m going to get my fix!
Read moreI was hooked on the Thai iced tea for a while bc that’s hard to come by as a vegan. I also particularly love their take on classics like the Reuben and the egg trick muffin. The salads are always fresh and delicious, and the extensive milkshake menu definitely deserves a mention! My latest obsession is the Italian sandwich special. They first ran it over the summer a few years ago, and I understand it’s available in the deli case on Tuesdays, at least it was on my last visit earlier this year. I will have to confirm this before my next trip bc I seriously love that sandwich!
The new location is beautiful, and I love that they’ve infiltrated the fair over the last few years. The fair played a huge role in my transition to veganism and it is so important that there exists such a fantastic example of what it is to be vegan in such a tragic place. Well done, Strong Hearts. You are pioneers!

Very reasonable and delicious! - Edit
Great stop on our road trip through Syracuse. We had the kale chicken caesar and the chicken parm with the berry smoothie and all was delicious! Also the food is extremely reasonably priced. They had a bunch of flavors of cupcakes as well. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Consistently good quality - Edit
Love its proximity to upstate campus! We love stopping by for a quick grub between or after classes. The quality has been consistently good for the past few months we’ve been visiting. Gluten free Mac n cheese with jalapeño is our go-to! Wish they had bean burgers though.

Great vegan diner! - Edit
A vegan diner, what's not to love!! Got the eggplant Parm with a side of dill potato salad, both delicious and super filling! Will definitely be back to try one of their famous milkshakes and maybe a baked good. The interior was bright and airy, and my food came out pretty fast. Lovely staff as well!

Everything tasted amazing! - Edit
Passing through town on a road trip and made a note to stop here, I’m so thankful I did. Every single thing I ordered tasted amazing!! Ordered the Reuben, Thai Tofu salad, black/white cookie and a Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffin and holy smokes was it all tasty. The Reuben was made of their seasoned and sliced seitan, house sauce and kraut with a side of fries. The salad was marinated tofu with edamame and sliced cabbage on top of a bed of greens with seasoned cashews. The muffin and cookie were so delicious, very moist and flavorful. The shop was clean and bright. There was a bit of a crowd but the lines move fast. The staff was so friendly, the food was insanely good, and I wish it were closer so I could frequent it much more often!! I will absolutely visit again.

Vegan Comfort Food - Edit
Everytime I'm in Syracuse I have to stop at Strong Hearts. Everything is excellent, and with a vegan milkshake selection including over 100 flavors who can go wrong? But the best thing are the cupcakes. I wasn't even a big cupcake fan as a non-vegan. But these things, well lets just say its a good thing I live pretty far away from Syracuse, otherwise I'd seriously compromise my diet and health gorging myself on this mana from heaven!
Read morePros: Breakfast lunch and dinner options are all great, Extremely diverse options, Drinks are excellent as well as the food
Cons: Limited seating

Worth it for the shakes alone! - Edit
The specials are always excellent, and there are tons of delicious desserts available. It’s worth a trip to Syracuse for the variety of vegan milkshakes alone!

Great vegan food and atmosphere - Edit
We pre-ordered our food to pick up. There is parking across the street. We put the address into google maps and it took us to the apartment complex next door.
Read moreI haven’t been to this new location but I loved it! Much easier access and more spacious than the last location. Such friendly and nice staff, all vegan options! Definitely recommend stoping here!
We ordered 2 milkshakes a burger with fries and mozzarella sticks for around $38.

ALWAYS stop here on road trips - Edit
I’m from Michigan, but live just north of Boston and my boyfriend and I always make a point to stop here on our road trips back from MI. We love the freedom of being able to order anything on the menu and the wings are unlike any vegan wing I’ve ever tried.. it’s complete sorcery!! Literally everything we’ve tried has been delicious (which is a lot because we usually order $100 of food for the two of us 😂)
Read morePros: All vegan, Best wings ever!!! Great sauce options, Reasonably priced and good location
Cons: None! Except it’s not in Salem, MA 😉

Your new vegan hangover cure. - Edit
This place is amazing. I was in town for a wedding, and may have indulged a little to much. The next morning I went to Strong Hearts Cafe and WOW was it amazing and very much needed. The vegan mozzarella sticks are out of this world, and the milkshakes are to die for. Wish I lived in the area because I seriously would eat here every day. A true gem.
Read morePros: great food, gluten free options, mozzarella sticks . . . do I need to say anymore?

Awesome food with menu items you don't always find! - Edit
Everything was absolutely fantastic. I wish there was a Strong Hearts in Maryland. My partner and I were in town for a wedding and did not expect much in northern NY as far as vegan options but what a pleasant surprise it was to order from Strong Hearts. The breakfast burrito, egg trick muffin, mozz sticks (YES, YOU READ CORRECTLY), and milkshake were great and fairly-priced. If I am ever back in Syracuse, I WILL be back.

Recommend Everything! - Edit
Everything I have tried here has been great. I recommended trying the piña colada smoothie and the large plate of nachos. They are great for sharing. They recently moved to a new location closer to the university and its larger, more seating inside and outside and very clean.
