We don't have any vegan only restaurant options where we live, so my husband and I made a special trip out to try this cafe. I had the Reuben sandwich, which was awesome, and the Earth Crisis (chocolate peanut butter) milkshake. I am going to dream about this shake! I highly recommend this cafe and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Strong Hearts is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. Amazing staff who are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The food is ALWAYS fantastic and fresh! I HIGHLY suggest pizza night! Their wings are to die for!!!
I can’t get enough of this place. Awesome food, awesome vibes. Pizza night is mind-blowing.
The milkshake list is huge. 🌱
I’m not a practicing vegan or vegetarian but I love this place. I’ve gotten food from their stand at the NYS Fair but had never been to the restaurant until the other day. The food was incredible. Those milkshakes are to die for. I’ll be back.
Absolutely me and boyfriend's new favorite spot! Been here already 3x the past week and that amazing Jalepeno popper grilled cheese!?!? �� I'm going to be so sad seeing it go after tomorrow since it's a monthly special. Have had so much from that menu already and NO complaints what so ever. The vibe of the place is so comforting and friendly and I can't wait to try one of everything from that menu! Those desserts are decandant enough to make you cry they're so good! �
Want to pig out vegan style? Aren’t vegan but still want to pig out on some great food? This is the place! It’s Conveniently located less than a block away from Syracuse Crowne Plaza. I had to try one of there shakes, because they have a wall dedicated to all the flavors. Earthcrisis is a combination of chocolate and peanut butter that rivals a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I’m sure I will have dreams about it it was so good! I also had the Thai Tofu with Cashew Salad that was out of this world good with the perfect blend of sweet, spicy and savory. Of course I needed a sandwich to go, and there new Baltimore Jack was beyond good with a tempeh bacon, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, lettuce, mayo and pepper jack cheese on the most decadent marble rye toast I ever had. The place was hopping when we arrived around 1 PM, but we managed to get seating. The vibe was friendly, and the service was great.
This place is phenomenal and I highly recommend it! My wife and I always come here 2-3 times when we visit from Maine!
Stopped here for dinner with my vegetarian daughter(11). I was a vegetarian for many years but now eat meat. After this place I am ready to go back to vegetarian! So good. Everything. Especially the "chicken" salad sandwich. Great strawberry shake too.
I’m not vegan but the food is fantastic !!
Potato and macaroni salad are the best !
Milk shakes perfect !
I tried 4 sandwich’s and they were all very good.
Only complaint “turn the music up”

The beyond burger is an amazing addition to your menu and I could eat that red pepper and cheddar soup for every meal!!! �
Love the gluten free menu at the fair...and it includes the wings!! Only wish some of the donuts were gluten free but it helps that you sell hunka foods baked goodies.
The best little cafe in Syracuse. Friendly staff, great food. The only downside is that the cafe is small and often very busy because it is so popular.

Food is always incredible! More importantly, they are a business with a purpose. Eat great food while changing the world 🌎
We went here to try out this vegan eatery and it was a GEM! The atmosphere and the food we ordered : sweet and sassy molasses and the Reuben were fabulous. Both of our choices were bursting with flavors. I loved the combination flavors of maple, chipotle and avocado on my sandwich - had a little spice which was perfect. I highly recommend this place whether you are vegan or not- you won’t be disappointed
First time trying vegan food at an actual restaurant and it was delicious. We had the Mac and cheese the chicken tenders and the milkshake. So good. Loved the Mac and cheese and the milkshake. The chicken was good but the texture inside wasn’t for me. The outside crunchy part was delicious and the dip for them were great.
I found this place via the Happy Cow app on our way up from Raleigh, NC. We got stuck in traffic around DC (big surprise there, I know!), so we weren't able to actually eat in the restaurant due to getting into town only 10 minutes before they closed for the night.
When we saw we weren't going to make it, I placed an order on their website while riding shotgun.
It was easy to order what we needed with any modifications, including the fact that we corn have Celiac which was plainly an option for every item we ordered.
The order was ready when we pulled up and the staff was exceptionally friendly. We brought the food to our hotel and ate in the lobby. It was freaking delicious!! A bit on the spicier side for a couple of the dishes, but overall we absolutely loved the flavor profiles and the dishes we ordered.
We shared the french fries and a chocolate peanut butter banana shake. My son got a half order of the loaded nachos and I got the Sweet and Sassy sandwich on a gluten free roll.
Can't say enough about the food at this place! It's difficult to find vegan gluten free options when we travel, so this was a wonderful surprise. I'm hoping the rest of our trip up north will be just as tasty!
Tried Strong Hearts for the first time today for lunch and it was freaking delicious, best vegan food I’ve ever had!! And they had so many options and everything looked so good! My husband and I will definitely be coming back! The restaurant was clean and really nice, the employee I spoke to was really kind, overall a really great experience! 10/10. (also it was $48 for 2 meals and a milkshake and honestly I’ve never been so okay with spending that much money on food, it was just so worth it)
Completely vegan cafe with so many options in appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, cupcakes and shakes.
Things we tried:
1. Loaded nachos which had chorizo, vegan cashew cheese, beans , avocado and jalapeños. We loved the taste and quantity as well. Ordered a half plate but it was enough for one meal.
2. Thai tofu Salad - well cooked tofu with salad greens, edamame seeds, roasted cashews and Vinaigrette dressing. Taste was nice and had balanced flavors.
3. Raspberry cheesecake - Good taste for a vegan option but the raspberry layer on top had seeds which I am not a fan of.
I have tried their red velvet cupcake before which tasted better.
Service was decent. You order food from the counter and can eat there.
Cafe had beautiful vibes with colorful walls and enough tables.
This place was fantastic! My friends and I found it while road tripping from MA to OH, and we ended up stopping here for lunch both times. The Thai Tofu Salad and Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake were my favorites by far. There's a wide selection of items that are lighter, heavier (like the burgers), and lots of sweets. Wish we had this place back in Boston -- it beats out all the local vegan places I know of!

Insanely amazing restaurant. Food is full of flavor and very fresh. Fully vegan with gluten-free options. Very strong "for the animals" message. Will come here every time we are in Syracuse.
Having run some successful Vegan restaurants, I have a deep appreciation for restaurants that do it well, and Strong Hearts does not disappoint! I have been there several times and love how the menu changes with the seasons (as you can see from my photos). They food is fresh, satisfying and above all else - delicious! The staff is super cool and there is always a good vibe in the place. I strongly (pardon the pun!) recommend it if you are in Syracuse.
So, I am farrrr from being a vegan but was in the mood to give this food a try after going without meat for a week and a 1/2 due to my wisdoms being extracted. 🤷🏾♀️ Fooling myself into thinking I would stick with it! 😂The beyond burger (Wild West) was different, not bad though…and I would go back to try some other things off their menu. The fries weren’t crispy enough. Online ordering/pick up was easy and the service was friendly.
This place is awesome! Has the feel of a coffee shop with plenty of places to sit and eat. The food was amazing, you'd never know it was vegan. The staff was very friendly. And the milkshakes were really really good. Overall an unbelievable place and I can't edit to go back and try the rest of the menu!
