Crema's Take

Creekside Cafe is a beloved breakfast and lunch spot tucked into Ithaca where everything tastes like it was made that morning—reviewers rave about the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with impossibly perfect bread, creative seasonal offerings like cherry and apple marzipan bars, and sandwiches like their signature SEA and Cuban that keep people coming back. The cafe has that rare homey, small-town magic where it feels like everyone knows everyone, with decor that shifts with the seasons and a genuinely family-friendly vibe that works equally well for a quick coffee grab or a leisurely sit with friends.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Really nice breakfast spot with good variety on the menu and cozy atmosphere. Breakfast burrito was delicious and so was the veggie breakfast sandwich. Had a cherry marzipan bar that was also tasty. Fair prices, too. Would go back and would recommend for a quick morning bite.

The SEA is my go-to breakfast sandwich, Cuban sandwich for lunch. Always an exciting offering of sweet treats in the case. Seasonal decor is adorable. I love everything about creekside and feel lucky to have them in tburg.

Very cute cafe, feels so homely. The creek burger was so good and the other sandwiches too. The apple marzipan was good too. This place had a vibe of everyone knows everyone. The place was full for lunch when we visited so definitely a popular local spot.

Amazing Cafe! Small little tuck inside of this cute little town. Everything is freshly made and bursting with flavor. I got the avocado toast and it did not disappoint! Even my kids said it was the best egg they ever had :-) You must try the brownie!!

Had just about the best sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich here I've ever had! The bread was fresh, soft but crispy. The egg perfectly fried and the sausage lightly spiced and amazing quality. Add in friendly service with a smile, and a laid back chill atmosphere, and it…
