We recently visited Cristo’s Cafe and had an overall average experience. We opted for the country breakfast—which included 2 eggs, 4 slices of bacon, biscuits and gravy, and home fries, though there are other options available if you’d like to mix it up.
The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated, and features a pleasant outdoor dining area. Prices are average ($26 including tip) and the portions are generous, with the food being good overall. The friendly staff added to the experience, making it a decent spot for a straightforward breakfast.
Please note: The photos show a half order because my fiancé and I split the breakfast, and the staff was kind enough to bring it to the table already plated.

You will not find a friendlier couple in the area. always greeting with a warm hello and getting to know their regulars by name. they go above and beyond. the food is fantastic as well! I will always recommend the tomato basil soup.

Cristo’s Cafe is a family owned cafe located in the Galleries of Downtown Syracuse. Food quality is exceptional. Rami and Georgina are simply wonderful people. The love they have for their customers shows through in every interaction. It is one of my favorite places to get lunch during my work day.
Wheelchair accessibility: The Galleries of Syracuse is a wheelchair accessible location. When my child comes to visit for lunch - or just to have lunch with Georgina - there is no difficulty in maneuvering the wheelchair in the cafe. The open nature of the space makes it so easy. Many restaurants do not take open space into consideration which can make wheelchair use more challenging.

Fantastic little cafe in the Galleries. They have delicious sandwiches, gyros, and breakfast items! Plenty of snacks to choose from if you are looking for something quick. Coffee is also very tasty. The owners are wonderful people

I work in the Galleries and visit Cristo's every day for a delicious cup of decaf Americano (with Almond milk). However, I've also eaten many of the delicious items on their menu. Their sliced lamb is mouth-watering! But, aside from their delicious food, the owners, Goergina and Rami, are two of the nicest people you could ever make the acquaintance of. I often find myself staying a little bit longer to enjoy their company and learn about their Jordanian heritage, as they make me always feel at home. After many visits in the 2 years I've worked in this building, they have become my friends. This month is Arab American Heritage Month. I encourage you to support local Arab American businesses by treating yourself to Cristos Cafe!!

Every day that I go there for lunch Remi and Georgina know exactly what I want to eat and their Turkey Sandwich is the best
Seemingly impossible to find ... when I called for directions I was tartly informed that there is no entrance from Salina street, but no information was forthcoming as to where the entrance might be. Save yourself the trouble, and try a restaurant that wants your business.

I come here often for lunch. Good coffee, soup, and sandwiches at reasonable prices. The couple that run the café are very nice people!
