Crema's Take

“This 100-year-old Ithaca institution strikes that rare balance between a quick caffeine stop and a lingering destination, with a genuine community vibe anchored by warm regulars like Cheryl behind the counter. Beyond solid traditional coffee, the real draw is their celebrated breakfast sandwiches and creative bagel options (the Mexican bagel gets serious love), paired with an impressive array of fresh pastries, house-made marmalades, and gourmet provisions that feel more curated general store than typical café. Whether you're grabbing something to go or settling into their indoor-outdoor spaces for a proper sit, there's a sense that this place has earned its loyal following through consistent freshness and a real commitment to their community.”

What to expect

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

What is this 10.00 GF breakfast? Do I need to say more? Well, it was supposed to be toasted or grilled as well. And not cause I asked them to, I just asked if thats what they do. I guess they dont. This is super disappointing and I won't be back.

There are so many options from bagels to beverages, hot sandwiches to a cold case full of goodies. So many baked goods, and a great selection of oils and hot sauces that would make great gifts. Our food was great, everyone was friendly, and we’ll definitely stop in again when we…

Crowded, loud, huge variety, limited seating. Sandwiches are okay, the Fat Woman drink was incredible.

What a great place to get breakfast or lunch! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options which is a huge plus. Cheryl is super friendly at the cash register! She is such a sweet person! Would highly recommend this place.
