OnaJava Soul Café
1555 S Salina St, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“OnaJava Soul Café is a warm neighborhood gem where owner Reggie and his crew have built something special around excellent imported Costa Rican coffee and Southern breakfast classics done right—think perfectly prepared grits, bacon, and eggs in a comfortable, old-school space. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over espresso drinks and good food without feeling rushed, surrounded by genuinely welcoming people and positive vibes that make it easy to understand why it's become a cultural hub in Syracuse. Come hungry, come ready to slow down, and come ready to feel at home.”

If you’re not eating at Onajava Soul Cafe then where are you eating? This new hot spot, one stop shop for culture brings good vibes, positive atmosphere, excellent interpersonal skills, welcoming staff and the owner is very accommodating. Now let’s talk food omg words can’t explain, just know it’ brings comfort to the soul. I highly recommend this place. I just read they opened a 2nd location inside the new Syracuse Community Health Center. Prices are affordable, healthy size portions for the family to enjoy if you haven’t been yet don’t walk, runnnnnnn :)
Grits, bacon, eggs & toast - done very well. Small, neighborhood breakfast/lunch joint. Old Skool vibe. If u r n a rush to eat, call ahead.
Imported Costa Rican coffee is the best in Syracuse. Grits were great. Nice comfortable space with tables and chairs. Owner and staff super friendly. I’ll be going back to check out breakfast sandwiches!
