“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 went on a Sunday morning, and the service was incredible!! This one young lady with brown hair made me the most life-changing decaf Cafe au Lait with oat milk that I have ever had. The craftsmanship was impeccable. I will be returning ASAP.“
“Such a cute coffee place in the commons! Definitely pricey compared to other places, but overall super cute and they work pretty quick. There isn’t a whole lot of space for the number of people they have, so you may not be able to sit down during peak hours.Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option (avocado toast) but it’s good!“
“Their espresso is the best that I have had in Ithaca, and is the best espresso I've had outside NYC. It has sweetness and fullness, with a very mild tang of acidity. They make sure to give you an actual espresso cup and not a paper monstrosity. I would recommend this place very highly. I think most people treat coffee like a liquid dessert. They pump their full of artificial flavors and sugar, and then wonder why they felt terrible after drinking it. Coffee is an experience. You should enjoy just the espresso, with no additional fluff. Press Café makes it easy to do that. The only criticism I have, and this is truly looking for one, is that I wish they were open longer. If they were open earlier I would give them a lot more business- perhaps every day. If they were open later I would do the same.“
“The food is top quality. The homemade vegetarian soups, (I'm vegetarian, but there are non vegetarian soups- etc...) come with homemade bread & are satisfyingly good- so is the veggie burger! I regularly enjoy their fresh carrot juice & sweet/zesty mango mate'. The atmosphere is inspiringly serene, the service is usually prompt, & the Staff is gently friendly.To the Rep who replied, you're welcome!“

“This coffee shop is a great addition to Green Star. The hot chocolate is awesome, I wanted another one by the time I was done shopping! Like other reviewers mentioned, the owner is personable and professional. Highly recommend giving it a try, and it's worth a special trip even if you don't shop at GS.“
“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 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 ?“
“I love it here! It's so cute, and fun with a great atmosphere and the staff are so nice. They have a great standard menu and the specials are delicious, most of the ingredients are locally produced and the jams are made in house. The Thom sandwich is one of my favorites, but you can't go wrong. The desserts are amazing, the coffee is good, and they have awesome glutten free and vegan options. The prices are reasonable, and they pay their staff a living wage (according to the menu.) There can be a wait on busier days but it's worth it! I can't recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: There are several sandwiches made with tofu or without meat. The breakfast menu can be easily ordered without meat. The staff are very nice and happy to suggest alternatives.Parking: There's street parking and several parking garages in the area. Parking is free on weekends and holidays. The garage is a dollar an hour otherwise.“
“Stopped in for lunch with my friend and we each got a Latte and a melt they had. Service was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember the servers name, but the lattes were delicious. Even though the barista was very busy, the food got there pretty quickly for being the only employee there at the time, and both the Southwest Melt and the Caprese melt were very appetizing. Would absolutely stop in to get lunch or breakfast for there or to go.“
“The most friendliest staff on campus for Cornell dining. Real conversations and care for each order. I love my chai lattes from here and grabbing a quick snack in between meetings.If you are a regular staff will remember your order and go out of their way to make sure your order comes out in a timely manner.“
“Love this place! Would've been 5 stars across the board, but the worker today was not as friendly as you would expect. Everyone has an off day, though, so I will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: There were a few desserts that were gluten free, and tasted amazing!!!“
