I’m a regular customer at Gimme Coffee and usually enjoy my drinks here. Today, however, I had a very disappointing experience.
I ordered two drinks as usual — one iced latte and one hot latte — and clearly told the cashier I wanted oat milk, which is what I always get. Unfortunately, they did not use oat milk today.
While I was standing near the counter, I saw the barista pour regular milk into the iced latte. Immediately, a lot of white curdled floaters appeared on top. I overheard the barista say to another staff member, “I don’t know why I poured this,” and then she proceeded to scoop out the floating curds with a spoon instead of remaking the drink. After that, she simply added ice and handed it to me.
When I drank it, I could still see and taste the spoiled milk particles. It didn’t feel right, so I searched online and confirmed that this is a common sign of expired milk.
This was disappointing, especially from a place I’ve supported often. I hope the team can take better care with ingredients and remake drinks properly when something is clearly wrong. Serving spoiled milk is not acceptable.

Coffee much more watery (weaker) than it was made just one year ago and the years prior. I have had four cups from here over the past several days hoping I was mistaken but unfortunately, not so. Not such a great cup of coffee here anymore at N. Cayuga location. Outdoor seating is nice if you can catch a table or bench. Customer service is lovely and efficient.

Great cold brew and sweet snacks. I frequent the spot.

Coffee is why you come here. The interior is phenomenal. The hipsters personal is just what you’re expect. Love it!

I was looking for a cafe that sells matcha in Ithaca. I found this place from the reviews. It was delicious. The atmosphere of the shop is spacious and comfortable. I like it very much.

Great coffee. It is worth the stop.

Classic, dependable, welcoming, queer, delicious.

Coffee shop that welcomes readers, writers and working on laptop.

Painfully slow service. People were waiting ages for their coffee and no apologies offered. Definitely not a grab and go type place.

Clean, open, light space with yummy baked goods and staple coffee and tea options.
