Crema's Take
“This beloved Syracuse gathering spot has mastered the art of making everyone feel like a regular from the moment you walk in, with staff who greet you warmly and genuinely remember your visits. Beyond the consistently excellent food—from their unexpectedly craveable soups to standout dishes like the Rockstar—they've built their reputation on creative, memorable drinks like a chocolate chai that locals swear has ruined them for coffee shop beverages anywhere else. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself coming back again and again, not just for the quality but for that rare combination of great food, thoughtful hospitality, and a space that feels like home.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Since the remodeling of the Palace Theatre almost a decade ago, there has been a number of attempts to place a successful cafe in this space. I always felt that a good healthy lunch time alternative for those working in the Eastwood Area in Syracuse would do well at this…
