Variety of delicious options, ranging from breakfast to lunch. Eggs, waffles, biscuits, burgers were all excellent. I think they could honestly expand their menu with more mix and match options (like a breakfast sandwich for example). Entrees were filling but reasonable portion sizes. The atmosphere was cozy and upscale. It’s not a big restaurant, intended for a relaxing diner experience. Only complaint was it took forever to pay for the bill.

I went for breakfast. Do not order the grits. They are a blob of flavorless white goo. Omelette was lackluster and the hash browns were barely edible. They need to re-think the whole hash brown concept. Coffee was a 4/10. Waitress was pleasant and responsive, although I dangled for a while before I got the check. Left a good tip because I always do, but I don’t recommend.

Everything was delicious! We stopped here while visiting Ithaca and I could not get enough! I got the Strawberry Chocolate Waffles and my boyfriend got the Chicken & Waffles and we both agreed that it was the best meal of our trip! The waffles were super light and airy, and had great flavor, they paired really well with the syrup provided. The Latte I had was amazing, it was super foamy (which I love) and had the best flavor, it was not overwhelmingly sweet, not too much milk, and not an overpowering coffee flavor, it was a perfect balance of everything. I even stopped back again the next day to get another latte before hitting the road because it was just so good. The girls who worked there were all so amazing, they were extremely friendly and super attentive. I cannot remember the waitresses name who took care of us, but she was amazing! We will definitely return next time we come to Ithaca!

Overrated. We were a table of two. Few tables seated after us got their food served by the same server. She completely forgot about us. We had ordered two different crepe and they were both less than par. Mimosa and iced coffee were good. Busy visitor spot as I saw the place packed by Cornell visitors. Not going again.

This is a cute little place with great food and service. It’s very busy and the wait was long but it was worth it.

Parking: The parking lot is small and very tight but there was parking down the. Lock on the street

I absolutely love this place..The Food is always amazing and the price isn't bad for what you get.. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is coffee.. It tastes burnt no matter what time of day you go there
