We stopped here before heading out to hiking for the day and the food is delicious! It’s a very cute, homey type cafe and the staff are very kind. I’d recommend the cinnamon bun/roll and the big red breakfast sandwich!

This place is awesome! A hidden gem. Everyone is so friendly & helpful, & you can tell they care about providing quality / tasty food — unlike so many places in Ithaca :). Thank you!

Adam’s Corner Café is a cozy little gem—friendly, relaxed, and serving up reliably good breakfast and lunch. The vibe is simple and welcoming, with a nice hometown feel that makes you want to linger.
We’ve stopped in for lunch many times, and the sandwiches are fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether it’s a classic turkey club or something a little more creative, everything we’ve tried has hit the spot. The pastries are also incredible—especially the cinnamon roll, which is huge and absolutely delicious. Definitely worth grabbing one, even if you’re stuffed from lunch!
The staff is friendly and welcoming, and if you come in regularly, they remember you and make you feel right at home. It’s an easy, reliable choice when you’re in the area—a go-to spot for a casual, satisfying lunch with a sweet treat on the side!

Big Red Breakfast was exactly what I needed. The friendly staff went out of their way to accommodate me. They recommended the Pecan Bourbon Scones and they did not disappoint!!

I lived around the corner for a year and never once knew Adams was here. Upon entering I was immediately treated as if I were a member of their family. Service and quality like this are an endangered species, so enjoy the experience.

Wonderful, heart-warming, no-frills spot with friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. I grew up in Ithaca and moved back a year ago with my family after living in Brooklyn for 12 years. I had never heard of this place, and, knowing most of the places I like to go around town, was hesitant to try it out. My wife and I stopped in for lunch after dropping our kid off at daycare nearby, and were immediately greeted by the most wonderful, friendly staff, and the most delectable-looking array of pastries. We shared an incredible, mammoth-sized cinnamon bun, and we each ordered a breakfast burrito. We took a table when it opened up, and the man behind the register (presumably Adam himself?) brought the food over, complete with orange slices. My wife said it was the best breakfast burrito she'd ever tasted, and I don't think that was hyperbole. We chatted with the staff afterwards, who were very sweet and unpretentious, and I bonded with one of the owners about old businesses that were around in Ithaca during my childhood. We left with smiles on our faces. Will definitely return.

Can’t say enough about this place. Kim provided one of the single most wonderful customer service experiences I’ve ever had in the short interaction I had with her. It was so good, I went right to my car and left this review. The breakfast sandwich was wonderful, and the iced coffee tasted fresh (I get it black, Lol). This may be the very first place I see a second time on a vacation away before I go.

One of my favorite places in Ithaca. The food is great and the people are even better. I’ve been coming here since I moved to Ithaca as a student and know I’ll miss this place once I go! Highly recommend the scones and danishes
