Original Grain - City of Syracuse

Mimi, Kalia, Roxana were amazing!! They took amazing care of me and remade my drink when I left without it. They’re the best!!

This. Place. Rocks. I may be biased since I prefer my food fresh, healthy, AND delicious. (I know, right? The decor is skater hip, with upbeat fun music and — get this — full glass windows on a busy street corner. Whether you eat in alone or with others, your eyeballs, ear holes, and taste buds will all be super stimulated and satisfied. The only complaint I have (a nit, really is that I noticed on their website that the list of locations numbers only one, Syracuse, NY. Now, I’m not casting anything cantankerous or mean-spirited (e.g., aspersions , but come on, Syracuse! Please share this culinary wealth and add more locations. Other than that, Original Grain made my brief visit to the city (again, not casting or knocking here, only beseeching with gratitude sprinkled with envy . Thank you, OG for the superb lunch! You will forever hold a special place in my heart … and I await your arrival in my neck of the world (apology for the weird metaphor ? .

Food was fresh and clean. The avocado smash toast was really good and they don’t skimp on ingredients, you can get Gluten-Free bread, and add a freshly poached egg. It’s nice there is an gf friendly omnivorous healthy option in town . This is a sweet place youthful vibe, but clean. Walk-up counter ordering and pick up. Gf bread could have been more toasted that’s the gf secret) otherwise it tastes kinda ehh. Dietary restrictions: Gf

Visited in between breakfast and lunch, before it started to get busy. This was my first and last visit! Cashier was extremely rude and got annoyed when I asked a question, even though there wasn’t anybody in line and they weren’t busy (yet). We dined in for the smoothies, but ordered 2 bowls for takeout when we were ready to leave. Items are way overpriced for what you get. Great smoothies, but avoid the bowls! The rice was inedible mush, and tasted horrible! Also, the egg in the Cobb salad is NOT fully cooked and is VERY lightly boiled. If you want a super runny yoke for your egg, then this might be for you. Waited over 45 minutes for 2 bowls, both of which ended up in the trash. What a waste of money! Never again. Vegetarian options: Stick with the smoothies. Food was inedible and absolute garbage. Spent $42 before tip for 2 people. Ordered 2 smoothies pretty small for the price), and 2 disgusting bowls.

This was refreshing , light and tasty . We got three different things for our first time and I loved all three . Purple swag
