Strong Heart's Cafe

Strong Hearts opened in May of 2008 and was located inside the multi-use building at 719 E. Genesee St. In July of 2020, Strong Hearts relocated one block away to 315 Irving Ave and relaunched its brand and menu. Strong Hearts continues to serve its award-winning fare while offering a highly improved customer experience. Strong Hearts’ interior reflects the modern vibrance in the emerging revitalization of the downtown Syracuse area while giving a nod to the activist roots of the restaurant. The 3,200 sq. ft. space offers seating for 65 people in the main dining room and outdoor seating for 24, weather permitting. Strong Hearts was built upon the vegan ethics of animal, earth, and human liberation. Strong Hearts is co-owned and was co-founded by Joel Capolongo and Nicholas Ryan.
