Hipstir Cafe - City of Oneida

A cafe with great potential that doesn 't follow through.I paid $22 for the world 's saddest sandwich, a salad consisting of nothing but undressed spinach leaves, a croissant that tasted supermarket-bought and a Dunkin '-quality coffee that tasted overwhelmingly like chocolate milk, but still somehow overwhelmed me with caffiene. I 'm glad I didn 't get the $7 avocado toast, I 'm a little scared to see how it is.Suffering from an identity crisis, the place really wants to be a hip-stir cafe with innovative drinks and trendy food and visuals, and falls short of all those things due to its location clientele, one of whom I saw shocked and afraid when told they could put oak or almond milk in their coffee. I feel like the only thing that gets them through the door has to be the back the blue sign- they are people who don 't know what a decent cafe is, because a decent cafe doesn 't feel the need to bring politics into their food.If you want a real hipster cafe with good food, go 15-20 minutes to Utica Coffee in Clinton or Utica, or Copperccino 's, Superofficial or Spressos in Rome. If you 're stuck in Oneida, you 're better off just going to the local Dunkin '.

The Espresso Pecan sandwich was amazing as was the squash soup. The s'more mocha is excellent. Super nice staff as well. Highly recommended.

Very unwelcoming atmosphere. Was visiting the area and wanted to try this cafe and immediately regretted ever giving my money to this establishment. Overpriced for the small portions. Food was also not very good and was cold. Not worth the visit, try one of the other nearby cafes instead.

Called in here on Day 3 of our six-day 550-mile cycle ride from Niagara Falls to Manhattan for a morning break, and pleased we did. Terrific coffee, lovely cakes and unflustered staff as 17 hungry and thirsty UK riders descended unexpectedly! Definitely worth the small detour off the Empire State Trail! Thanks HipStir crew!

I just have to tell how wonderful the owner is! After a great time at the Hipster Cafe this morning, my friend and I were getting my daughters into the car to leave and I dropped my cup of coffee! I didn't know it at the time, but the owner saw what happened, came right over to make sure we were okay and if I needed anything, then asked what my coffee was so she could replace it. What a kind, thoughtful person! She didn't need to do that, but she did! She blessed me today with her kindness! Thank you again to the owner! We will definitely tell of your kindness!
