CAMILLUS, N.Y. — Township 5 announced Thursday that Café Pastel has signed a lease to open in the mixed-use shopping center in Camillus.
The café/coffee shop will offer a range of locally curated coffees and coffee drinks, a breakfast and lunch menu of “quick bites,” specialty cakes, and desserts.
“My goal is to provide the Camillus community with more options when they need coffee, desserts, or a casual meal,” Maria Rotella, business owner, says in her funding-pitch letter on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.

Keeping Your Firm Secure on the Road to Digitization
By Dan Hernborg Sales Engineer With the looming threat of a potential recession and economic downturn, many professional service firms are looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency in preparation.
Rotella says she’s been making custom cakes and desserts in the Syracuse area for more than a decade, operating under the name Maria Eliana’s Cakes.
Rotella projects to open Café Pastel by October. She anticipates the café’s operating hours to be on a split-day format: open from 8 a.m-2 p.m. as a café — serving coffee, light breakfast, and lunch. Then she’ll re-open at 5 p.m., until 10 or 11 p.m., focusing on desserts and coffee.
Café Pastel will incorporate sustainable business practices such as not using single-use plastic products such as cups, straws, forks, spoons, knives, and plates, she says.
