Apple Barrel Store + Cafe - (Near Schoharie, NY)

Sarah SP 10/10 from start to finish. Came here for our anniversary dinner, received a complimentary champagne which was such a nice touch. They even had a nonalcoholic champagne for my husband who doesn’t drink. The dishes are totally perfect on their own. Seasoned, cooked, everything is so thoughtfully curated and executed. The service is outstanding too. This is my new favorite place in Syracuse! Can’t wait to come back.

Jonathan Weiss Delicious and fresh food. Nice atmosphere and fast service. You can tell the owner and his wife really work hard to keep things running smoothly. A+

RES RES We loved the atmosphere and the food/drinks we had. Bathrooms were clean. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Free parking lot had very limited space. We had to pay to park on the street. Good variety of food options.

Ashley Nurczyk Wanted to give this place a try for awhile! Overall the food is very good! Pretty big servings in my opinion, we couldn’t finish our food. The server Amber was nice! The waffles I got were a cinnamon toast waffle, very tasty but once the icing hardened it made the waffles hard/extra chewy in some spots, despite that still super delicious. The drinks were 10/10. If there’s anything this place should be known for it’s the coffee drinks. Only recommendation/notice is that despite being a newer establishment, the tables and chairs are outdated and old. There’s rips in some of the chairs, most of the tables are peel and stick, and the bathrooms are extremely outdated with mismatched floor peel and stick tiles. I’m all for a good diy but it needs a do-over. Granted it’s newer, I expected a more updated look, especially with the prices - it’s a bit on the pricier side for the area. However, don’t let the atmosphere deter you from trying here, the food is very good. I hope that in the near future they replace the dining tables, chairs, and booths to be newer. Overall a good experience and we’ll be back!

Laura Bennet I stopped by this cafe on a Wednesday morning and was honestly surprised after seeing some of the negative reviews. My experience was really good.The menu has a big variety,more options than I expected for a small cafe and everything sounded so good I didn’t know what to order. I ordered the cookie butter latte, and my husband got the pistachio perfection it was amazing.I can’t wait to come back for dinner time to see how the food is.

brandon z Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. We can’t find a single thing we didn’t like and will be back again many times. You MUST try the octopus and lab shank. Every bite is just so flavorful and well crafted. This is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Rochester and the best restaurant I’ve been to anywhere in years. Our server Daniel was incredible and really added to the experience, he was extremely personable and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back here.
