Best coffee shop in Ithaca, not even close. They served up an 8.2 cortado that blew all of the shops (like Gimme! or Press) out of the water. The milk work is what made it an 8.2 as the beans were on the 7.8 side. Overall, really good and holds up with some of the best I’ve had in New York.

It's hard to start the day without a brew of their Mass Hysteria. Seriously the best!

By far the best matcha and chai in Ithaca and excellent cappuccinos too. Super friendly and fun snacks from great local makers!

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.

Not only are the espresso and brewed coffee delicious, and the beans roasted with care and integrity, but the guys who run this place are so kind and wonderful.I had been given a gift certificate over email, which I used half of and then lost. But when I reached out They were accommodating and understanding, and were able to look up the lost gift card in their system, and they honored it anyway! So many places would instead be like, “your loss too bad.”Their Ethiopia roast is a favorite, and they even have decaf beans that taste as good as regular (Swiss water process).Thank you for existing!!! Forty weight makes the world a better place!!

Only place In Town I’ve found that sweetens a masala chai with honey instead of sugar!?

Ended up buying 2 bags of coffee here! They distribute to Brooklyn all the time which makes sense because their coffee is so freaking good. Coming from Nyack Ny and the city area, I would recommend this for anyone who wants a quality cup of .. anything. I am an oat milk latte girl, and I can say this was a 10/10. Can’t wait to visit Ithaca again and have this coffee everyday.Parking: The cafe is located in the greenstore co-op so it’s free parking. you can buy your coffee and go grocery shopping! It’s perfect

The new cafe in GreenStar is excellent! The coffee is, of course, incredibly smooth, delicious and expertly brewed. The ceramic mugs and friendly professional service makes it a wonderful cafe experience in a very convenient location.

The best beans in central New York, hands-down. If you care about a good coffee, especially fine espresso drinks, this is the only way to go. They're also at the Ithaca Farmers Market every weekend, often (but not always) making espresso drinks, not just Americano.

Was recommended by Tom and Kathy. The coffee is very good and smooth with light flavors and no bitterness. I am really interested is ordering other flavors and have found a great tasting coffee line.
