I've tried about 10 different items on the menu, all very good. Friendly. Nice laid-back atmosphere.

Get the garbage plate nachos! Delightfully good and filling. Plus it's an interesting place to hangout and play some games or just to chill and do some writing.

This cafe is all vegan and star-trek themed. It has a super cozy vibe. The latte I had was good. However, they're often understaffed and I am writing this review in hopes that management will care about their employees and hire another person to work during busy times. All in all, its a great concept!

Really cool place, all vegan, tasty, decently priced food. A bit understaffed when I went, food took a while. The mac n cheese with bbq soy curls (must add!) was good but a bit overwhelmingly huge. could have had it half the size and a slightly cheaper price. good pastries. Top floor above the book store. Board games available.

Evidently this is an unpopular opinion but this place was so subpar food-wise and was so dirty that I was ashamed for taking my grandmother there. I love my grandmother. Don't make me disappoint her pls

Delicious Vegan food and deserts. Would highly recommend the Space Junk Burrito.

Really lovely hole in the wall. The cafe sits above a book store and is entirely vegan, yay! The woman that owns and works the place was kind, as well. I ordered the buffalo quesadilla (YUM) and my mom ordered the reuben sandwich (also YUM). Great spot to grab lunch and read a book if you're interested.

Cool LGBT-positive hangout. Its proximity to the Worker's Center and Autumn Leaves means the clientele tends towards the intellectual.

Went here the other day with my partner. It looks like they updated the eating area and it looks nice. They specialize in vegan food. They have sandwiches and smoothies and more. There are all kinds of books around if you feel like just hanging out and reading or play chess with a friend. AND EVERYTHING IS STAR TREK THEMED! I love looking at the schematics for the star ship Enterprise on the tables while I eat. It's so fun!

really good vegan food. i go here regularly with my partner, at least once a month but usually more. however they're pretty understaffed so there's usually a wait, there's not much seating, & they stop serving food really early. definitely call or something before you go in or else keep in mind you could be SOL

Fantastic!!!! I've been 5 times already and the service is pristine and filled with love! I recently went gluten free and soy free and the owner made a cake special when I asked, and asked for my number to call me when it was made

I spent three days in Buffalo before driving through Ithaca, so I wanted to eat something healthy for a change. Ten Forward Cafe is the best vegan food I've ever eaten. I am not a vegan, but if I lived near this place, I would have no trouble becoming one. Their quesadilla was as good as just about any regular quesadilla I've had -- a wonderful texture to the "meat" and the "cheese" almost fooled me into thinking it was real. Also, the food portion was substantial enough to fill me up, which has rarely been the case with vegan restaurants that I've gone to before. Also, the people working there were very open and friendly and helpful. Additional bonus is that it's on the second floor of a bookstore with a record shop in the basement!

it's a perfect local spot for a coffee shop treat. hot drinks and cold drinks. vegan food that even me not vegan loves! it's great if you want to sit by yourself and read, or if you want to meet up with a friend and chat or a group to discuss, play games or hold meetings. the staff are amazing. the staff are paid living wage and yet it's an affordable pace to visit.

Excellent all vegan cuisine which is tasty and beautiful. There's an innovative Star Trek based vibe and decoration. All kinds of games where you can sit and play well dining or having coffee or tea. A wonderful bookstore downstairs called Autumn Leaves which carries a myriad of used books. I highly recommend this Ten Forward and Autumn Leaves
