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!

Food is normal. I had Salmon sandwich, brownies and cha latte. Nothing extraordinary about food. The decorations are super cute. But the owners/staffs are weird. They act nice, but weird. It’s hard to explain.

It's run by a group that is anti-LGBTQ and pro-hitting your kids.

We were going to an event at Cornell. Ee were looking for a deli with sandwiches. We had a veggie burger and roast beef sandwich. The spreads on the burger really gave some flavor. Would try other locations

OMG, this is the place to get a bite to eat or to just sit. If it's open, go here NOW. I am so glad they are finally back and open.

The cozy, all-wood rustic ambience and the honey-yellow lighting draw you into this Bavarian/German/Swiss chalet (?) styled restaurant. And the background music is reminiscent of the Swiss music loop playing at Disney World's Pinocchio Village Haus restaurant. (My group of six travelers are from Orlando, so yes, our ears perked up.) // I enjoyed a warm Rachel sandwich, which was served with chips. I also ordered a delicious Hot Apple Cider. Friendly, efficient service & reasonable prices. ALSO: Check out the clean, nicely-done bathrooms; the fireplace; and all the wood-shingled "roofs" over the dining booths. A treat for the eyes & senses.

Tucked in the inner commercial center of the town, this cute deli has so many things to offer. It is has this inviting feels from outside and a warm vibes feel on the inside. The friendly staff welcomed us so dearly and seated us on a cute little spot by the window. Their menu has plenty of breakfast choices down to lunch and to dinner meals. They serve your favorites no matter what time you walk in. One thing we noticed on our visit, the bar is open at noon. It must be a hit spot for college students. The indoor decors and set-up pleasantly motivate a good appetite. You got to experience the ambiance so check out the place if you are around the area.

Everything was A-Mazing. The staff was friendly and was engaging as well. I loved the vintage look. It has an evening feel even in the afternoon. Very relaxing.

I'm a diner enthusiast, and this spot truly stood out as the best and most distinctive. I couldn't resist stopping by for lunch, and I was delighted with both the food and service. The staff was exceptionally friendly and polite, and the atmosphere exuded charm – it's undoubtedly one of the most charming places in Ithaca! I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for anyone visiting the area.
