SYRACUSE — Jolime Fresh Garden Café has opened a downtown Syracuse location in Onondaga Tower at 125 E. Jefferson St.
The eatery opened its first location in Chuck Hafner’s Farmers Market & Garden Center in Clay in 2011.
The 5,000 square-foot restaurant space in Onondaga Tower features more than 100 seats and semi-private conference areas that customers can use for business meetings or working remotely, the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc. said in a news release Thursday.
The downtown Jolime location will employ up to 30 people.
CabFab, a local cabinetry company, used reclaimed lumber from a Brooklyn warehouse to build the dining furniture in the new space, according to the Downtown Committee.
The restaurant is “very pleased” with its reception from the downtown community, John Caveny, co-owner of Jolime Fresh Garden Café, said in the release.
“Downtown Syracuse is growing and reinventing itself and we are proud to be part of that process,” Caveny added.
The restaurant features a seasonal menu with breakfast and lunch options, including sandwiches, soups, and salads.
