Cake Bar - Salt City Market
484 S Salina St, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Salt City Market, this spot is a dreamy destination for cake lovers who take their desserts seriously, with show-stopping creations like creme brûlée donuts and customizable cakes that the friendly staff will hand-craft from a photo if you ask. The vibe is perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries with friends, though arrive early since their homemade-tasting treats—from banana pudding to moist, inventive cupcakes—tend to sell out. Fair warning: consistency can be hit-or-miss (some items are soggy rather than fresh), but when they nail it, it's genuinely among Syracuse's best dessert experiences.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

For the price, I was expecting this tiramisu to give me super powers. But instead, I got a soggy mess. This was not fresh and was so very bland. I don’t get the hype. My kid got one of their cake slices and the ratio of cake to frosting was so off and cake itself was DRY. My…
One of the best dessert places you can find in Syracuse! I got the banana pudding and it tasted home made! Go early though because they do sell out of some of their deserts. The worker was so friendly and it was the perfect location. It really adds to the food hall, giving it a…
Staff was very friendly, desserts look great, and cupcakes are moist. Tried the “Cotton Candy” cupcake and it was really good. The icing was tasty, and the cupcake itself wasn’t just a plain vanilla cake. It actually has a cotton candy flavour in it. Prices are a bit high…
My husband seen a strawberry crumb cake online, and stated it would be something he liked. His birthday came, I showed a person at the Cake Bar a photo, and she duplicated the cake beautifully! It was delicious, beautiful, and my husband was so impressed! Great service and…
