The food was incredibly fresh and yum! You can see Adam and the other bakers/chefs right there in the back cooking it up. Kim, at the register taking our order, was so warm and friendly with the brightest smile on her face. The atmosphere was great as well. Perfect way to start the morning. We each had build your own breakfast sandwiches and a cinnamon roll that was melt in your mouth perfect!

The food was great, but the overall experience was disappointing. I was asked to give up my table so it could be used for other lunch guests, even though I had only been there about two hours. I was wrapping up a Zoom meeting and was planning to order more food and stay for lunch, but no one asked if I intended to continue ordering before asking me to leave.
Also worth noting there’s no Wi-Fi, and the seating area isn’t very comfortable, which makes it a tough place to work or meet for any length of time.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this little place. I’m there twice a week for either a breakfast sweet or lunch. The Staff are incredibly friendly and kind and we all know each other by name.
I recently asked Hope to cater a large gathering. I had previously attended another gathering where Adams had catered the event. The food was wonderful. One can choose food items like sandwiches off of the regular menu, but I discovered that they offer catering options that are quite different than the sandwich menu offered at the restaurant. We had a collection of fresh and sophisticated appetizers and handheld entrées that were enthusiastically received by my guests.
Hope also attended to every detail of the set up and breakdown, including tables, linens, flatware and wine delivery.
At a difficult time, this restaurant did a wonderful job and made my time easier.

Spectacular baked goods. Love keeping them on the cooking trays. Let them sell themselves!

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!!
