About
How we got our start
Geoff and Debbie Camire met in the 1990’s while working in the restaurant at the Four Seasons in Boston. Both had studied at CIA and were working towards creating their own restaurants when they met. The two hit it off and the rest was history! Debbie had grown up with plenty of involvement in the restaurant industry due to the many establishments her family had opened. In 1998, the two decided to open Biscotti Café & Pastry Shop with overwhelming support! Four years later, the original Café burned down in a fire and the had to start from scratch.
Although the fire was devastating, Geoff and Debbie saw it as a blessing and a curse, finding a new location on Salina’s street that would become the café we know and love today! Following the fire, Biscotti Café and Pastry Shop flourished, and quickly grew from bakery goods, to custom cakes, lunch and more! Today, Biscotti café & Pastry Shop is Syracuse’s beloved bakery and a staple of the community. In 2020, the mayor of Syracuse officially created Biscotti Café Day to celebrate the community favorite every April 17th!
