Crema's Take
“Nestled in Ithaca, this beloved breakfast and lunch spot earns devoted regulars with its commitment to local sourcing and creative seasonal specials that rotate Friday through Monday, featuring inventive dishes like a standout Kai omelet with kimchi and chipotle aioli. The kitchen doesn't cut corners on fundamentals—their eggs are perfectly cooked and ingredient quality shines through in every bite, from French toast to carefully crafted lattes. It's the kind of place where you can linger over coffee and pastries in a welcoming atmosphere, though service can be inconsistent on busy days.”
What to expect
