Amazing one of the best coffee places we have tried!! The frozen lyric mocha and vanilla iced latte are our favs! Love the egg sandwich and the chocolate croissant is exceptional. We come here in the summer and winter every year it’s our go to spot

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I worked and managed a local coffee shop in central New York and like to be generous in my rating as long as things are made locally. Sadly however it doesn’t look like Lyric is the spot for that. The syrups are all shipped in, the pastries look like they were frozen and shipped in to bake morning of, and the menus and atmosphere mimic a chain coffee shop. Very little to speak to the unique area around them. Their coffee is roasted in house but is still not flavorful or smooth. I’ve seen so many of these types of shops sadly miss the mark on their potential. The service itself was quite fast and the workers were amicable. The coffee tasted overly sweet, and bitter - even after I asked for less sweetness so I can’t imagine how sweet it tastes with full sweetness added. All in all, a spot I won’t return to unless some local items are added.

Nice little coffee shop in Clayton. The drinks are OK. The latte my wife got was bland and milky. We also got a hot chocolate that came with no whipped cream and was also kind of bland. The pastries are clearly frozen-store bought. The chai latte was good.
