SYRACUSE — Cake Bar, a local bakery and bubble tea shop that opened in The Salt City Market in January 2021, debuted a second downtown Syracuse location in August.

Cake Bar opened its new café at 252 W Genesee St. on Friday, Aug. 12. The space, which was most recently occupied by the Bamboo House Asian Restaurant, is located next to the Apizza Regionale restaurant. 

The new Cake Bar offers the familiar treats offered at its Salt City Market location and a handful of unique beverages. The menu includes custom cakes for special occasions, cake truffles, cupcakes, Vietnamese-style caramel flan, and more.

Cake Bar is owned by Duyen Nguyen, an immigrant from Vietnam, who followed in her mother’s footsteps in operating a bakery, according to the Cake Bar website.
