The quiche of the day was EXCELLENT. Fun atmosphere and wonderful coffee that just kept flowing! A great treat for brunch in the city! The person I was with ordered the salmon burger, which I think was a special, and he really liked it! Definitely a place to stop at when in Syracuse.

Sparky Town is one of my favorite lunch places. I've enjoyed everything I've tried, and my current favorite for winter is the vegan chili, which is amazing. Service is super, the funky atmosphere is welcoming, and I try to return as often as possible. This is one of Syracuse's real treasures. It was SO sad when Sparky died, but her... More

This place is your "home away from home." Everyone is treated like family. Food is very high quality and made with local ingredients. They will accommodate just about any request, just as long as they have the ingredients. Most dishes can be made vegan. Awesome spot just to hang out--some of the best coffee drinks in Syracuse. They also have... More

Artsy, little cafe w/music on Friday night. Local art and wonderful specials. Soups are particularly interesting.

I know a little about the neighborhoods of Syracuse and Sparky Town is located in a downtrodden area. In fact, when you find the establishment on Burnet Ave., you might very well decide it's unsafe to park and walk in the area. Well, take a small risk because you'll be rewarded. The menu, the service, and the clean, attrractive atmosphere... More

I love to come here with my colleague for lunch. The healthy options are wonderful and the prices are reasonable. I'm especially thrilled that they offer Ezekiel sprouted bread for the sandwiches!

Sparky Town is a pleasant surprise. I drove by it many times and finally stopped in with a few colleagues after work one evening. We all loved our meals, the service as well as the atomsphere. There is a full bar and we had a wonderful bottle of wine from a Finger Lakes winery. We all had the special which... More

Sparky Town is a hidden gem in an "iffy" area of town. Decent selection of reasonably-priced sandwiches and salads for lunch; good coffee and lemon pound cake; musical entertainment some evenings. Discover it- you'll be glad you did.
