Crema's Take

Tucked into Ithaca's commons, this elegant spot strikes a perfect balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and inviting community space, where you'll find locals lingering over meticulously pulled cappuccinos and creative signature lattes like their chocolate orange creation. The warm, unhurried atmosphere welcomes everyone from study-focused students to friend groups catching up, while generously portioned crepes and quality pastries round out an experience that feels both refined and genuinely approachable.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
