“Everything is amazing. Seriously. I have been coming herenfor many years, sunce they first opened their doors. They have consistently delivered excellent service, excellent food, and excellent drinks. I make it a point to visit a while every time I come to Ithaca. I do encourage people to be patient when it gets busy here: they usually have a small staff on duty and if you come during a rush, you will just have to wait. Remember, this isn’t some big corporation! It’s owned and operated by members of the community, for members of the community. Try them out and enjoy your visit, you will NOT regret it!“
“Warm and cozy atmosphere. Friendly, fast service. Got the spicy breakfast sandwich with their homemade jalapeno cheddar bread and a gingerbread coffee everything was amazing. Got some back goods to go so far deliciousKid-friendliness: Friendly staff“
“We always enjoy ourselves here. The food and beer selection is wide, so there's a bit of something for everyone. I'm doing dry February, and they had a terrific NA beer from Athletic! My vegetarian friend enjoyed the cauliflower wings. We accommodated a group of 10 on the fly (had unexpected extras), and the staff was ok with us putting tables together. Another nice table of guests even agreed to switch tables with our large group. It just shows that the people here, both patrons and employees, are into the friendly vibe.“
“This coffee shop ENCOURAGES customers to be more environmentally responsible by giving people discount when they bring their own mugs! So far, this is a very rare and precious practice in Ithaca, and I highly recommend people to go buy coffee at Gimme to support this practice (and its coffee is great ?“
“Visited Ithaca for a few days this past weekend and loved the space here. Had the Sweet Potato Hash, with an extra scrambled egg on top and it came out amazing. I also had the two egg scramble, and that was awesome too. There wasn't much wait time, though you do have to order up at the register and bus yourself.When my brother and I came early afternoon on Saturday, we missed a rush of students coming in for their food. Great place to talk to come cool locals/students while chomping on some great food.The Barista who was there (a college aged young lady) was on top of her game with the caffeinated drinks. Order your drinks separately, and enjoy!!Great place and highly recommend. Seating is limited, but we were always able to find a spot.Kid-friendliness: Quaint atmosphere which Kids, (and adults) will enjoy!!Parking: The lot is shared with what I assumed was student housing. Not lots of street parking in Ithaca, but we drove into a spot on the side. Also some room in the far back.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter the establishment.“
“So good! The people who work here are exceptionally kind and the food they make is delicious. We always get a Reuben and tiramisu or coffee cake (which is cinnamony and walnuty). You can sit outside on a nice day and they will bring you your order. I’m so lucky I live down the street!“
“I love coming here- I love right up the road and work just about a half mile away at the elementary school. It’s a shame they don’t open early enough for me to go before work, because I would! Not only do they open late, but they close early- 3:30! I haven’t left work at that point unfortunately, so I can only go on the weekends.“
“This cafe is very cute but it is hard to find. It is in the basement of the building so if you go inside on either side of the central entrance there are these staircases that look like they're going to a creepy basement but they actually go there. Or there's a central entrance that also looks kind of sketchy. But once you find it it's not sketchy at all! It has an awesome aesthetic and is a great place to study or do group work.“
“Originally I had the first cup of coffee from Copper Horse at the Blue Heron Music Festival. Since then I've been ordering their 5lbs Bulk bags and they're my regular coffee every morning. I cannot express enough how much I enjoy their Carriage House Blend! I hope to see you at future Blue Herons'!“
“Given it's a chain, KFT has consistently good flavors (especially for those with a sweet tooth). This location recently reorganized their layout so there is more seating space, but during peak times can feel quite crowded. Mobile orders are very convenient and orders are generally made quite quickly unless it is during peak hours.“
“I can understand how this type of quirky place would be the center of a college town — lots of funky options, a cool building, etc. But bagels do take an eternity to come out, the cashiers are surly, and honestly the bagels just aren’t that good. I mean, look, I’m a New Yorker. I’m going to be hard to please on bagels. But the lox was bland, the bagels were inconsistent in size and flavor, and they were a bit stale.So not bad — I mean, it was the best option around by far. But not an amazing bagel.“
“Baristas are always super nice and make the drinks quickly and accurately. Food is general cafe fare, good for a quick pick me up but that's about it. Lots of tabled comfy seating, but some people like to scream to their friends in the cafe, so that makes it less of an ideal study spot.“
“Extremely small space that pumps out A LOT of different (and fairly time consuming to prep!) dishes! Was thrilled with the acai bowl and oatmeal bowl. Liked the Detox juice "OK". Looks like order ahead is the way to go as the line was several people deep and there is no room to stand in the store while you wait. Definitely a place to pick up a quality bowl/smoothie, but not necessarily to sit and eat!“
“The banana split was HUGE! A dream place for anyone who really loves sweets like me. The picture doesn’t do it justice because it’s a bit melted (my bad), but it was the best split I’ve had. I added gummy bears to it too and it gave it a nice contrast. The only thing I will say though is the wait was long, but I understand there was just one person working there. Besides that, I wish this place was by where I live!“
“They are pretty prompt when it comes to service at this Branch! Order is always on point! And most of all they are very clean!Kid-friendliness: All sorts of new donuts and munchkin's are always available and fresh.. And you can't beat that with a delicious hot chocolate!Parking: It's a very busy parking lot, because this beach is attached to a gas station that is a major stopping point for out of town travelers!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps are involved, and it's ground level... Making it fairly easy to enter and exit“
