“Very cute environment friendly staff“

“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.“

“Came for breakfast on a friends recommendation. Was not disappointed. Super quick and friendly service. Ordered the Pacific, and lavender latte, so delicious. Kids gave the doughnuts a big thumbs up. Will definitely go again.“

“I would venture to say this is the best coffee in Ithaca! I had a decaf cortado, and it was executed perfectly. Not only is the staff friendly and knowledgeable, but they also know how to pull their shots and steam milk just right. If you're used to third wave coffee, this is the place for you!“

“Everything! The brunch options are delicious! The desserts are scrumptious and the service was stellar! Perfect for any occasion. I’ll be back very soon!“

“The Corned Beef Hash special was amazing! please make it a regular menu item 👌“

“Great variety of unique food choices and love that you can not only get breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, but also have a beer/drink at night.“

“EVERYTHING!! Vera L is the best hostess one could wish for, the staff become like family, the food and wine are delish, and the others one meets there are wonderful. Who might wish for more? ( unless less miles between home and " the hive"!!“

“Located on the Cornell University campus, The big red Barn is a wonderful meeting place for graduate students and exhibits. The parking lot offers a stunning view of Cornell's watchtower and landscape. Indoors is a cafe and plenty of room to stretch out with tables and chairs sofas and nooks here and there to settle in or visit friends. Housed in a renovated Barn the building has an old-time ambience that is accentuated with some new architecture that blends with the building seamlessly. The building is surrounded by lovely gardens.“

“Graduated from Cornell in 2009 and I still think about my go to BLTease with Ginger Miso dressing 😂 So glad to see Temple of Zeus is still going strong and has a social media presence!“

“? Yummy Alert! ?The crab and corn soup is soooooo tasty! Try it.Layout of the food area is a bit odd which creates a bad logistical flow for people getting food and those exiting with their food. Also, the staff are seemingly unfriendly and I swear I thought the guy serving in the hot food section was going to drip sweat into the curry. The older lady next to him served the rice so sloppy. The dish looked ugly because of how it was served and presented and so I left it. But, the crab and corn soup is fantastic!“

“The sandwiches are actually quite good. I like that it is open for a long time so if I miss the usual lunch time and can still grab something to eat. Also there is rarely much of a queue so it is perfect for something fast. The Big Red Barn also has sandwiches but it takes them longer to make them, in my experience.“

“For a quick pop coffee cafe, this is the spot. Rusty’s offers Starbucks products and sizes, getting coffee or lattes it’s worth the money for the size compared to other cafes on campus.Rusty’s also offers self-served pastries, pre-made sandwiches, and cold beverages. Service is quick and efficient.“

“A surprisingly sweet café tucked inside the Cornell campus store. The coconut and pistachio macaroons were delightful — chewy, sweet, and full of flavor. Chocolate croissant wasn’t the fluffiest but still tasty, and the shortbread cookies were simple and satisfying. It’s a lovely, cozy corner to snack and study, surrounded by tributes to Cornell’s literary icons (Carl Sagan and Toni Morrison watching over you!). Plus, the prices are student-budget-friendly.“

“Novick's cafe has a very cozy yet refined vibe. I feel like I've been transported from Cornell to somewhere in a big city. As a student, it's a perfect location to grab a quick coffee/snack when leaving your dorm to go to class. Or it's also a wonderful study space (outlets on the second floor).

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm not sure if there's a wheelchair accessible way to get to the second floor, but the first floor is wheelchair accessible. There are a ton of flat paths outside that lead to Novick's. Even when there are stairs, there are also ramps beautifully crafted into the hillside with very gradual slopes.“

“It's a bit cold in there for us but the food, prices and atmosphere (the workers) are all very welcoming and helpful. Great choices for a hospital food court. Salad bar, hot meals and it all smells great !

Parking: Sometimes a little walk from the parking lot.“

“Great coffee, great music, hot baristas. Also love the new setup.“

“The food was exclusively good I did subtract a star for the peststrami its was a little under cook to mine liking but beside that’s one mishap I decided to not hold it against them why I gave back it’s but there should be a option or well done or regularly cook but they do have a good menu and thanks for being a small business owner“

“Some of the best espresso I've found in Ithaca, and if you get it as a dine in, it's served with sparkling water, which is a nice touch that goes a long way. Baristas are incredibly friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very nice“

“This is a wonderful place to eat, have some excellent drinks, and socialize.“
