“Enjoyed lunch here with my husband. Neither of us are vegan but we really enjoyed our meals. Quick service in a cute and clean atmosphere.“

“We've been going to Dolce Delight since they opened & have always enjoyed their delicious coffee & baked goods, as well as the easy & homey atmosphere. The whole Dolce crew makes you feel like family.“

“I ordered a pizza a short while ago and it is OUTSTANDING! All the ingredients are very fresh, the sauce and crust are just how I like them and it looks amazing. I think this is the best pizza in Ithaca and it will be my go to place from now on! About a month ago I had an issue with a Door Dash order and Nate went above and beyond to make it right.“

“Me and my boyfriend had a great time! Food was amazing“

“This place must be relatively new, because had I known this existed back when I went to college here, I would have come here all the time.

The food was excellent and authentic; we enjoyed the steak quesadilla and ribeye/al pastor tacos. It was made fresh on the grill as you order, topped with fried/crispy cheese, beautifully ripe avocados, and salsa of your choosing. Good aguas frescas and nice outdoor seating. Great value for what it is.“

“Fantastic food! We sat at the bar for lunch and it was amazing service. Highly recommend!“

“We both really enjoyed the pizza. Love the crispy crust too! Toppings were fantastic! We will definitely need to come back! We'll spread the word!!!“

“Fantastic Restaurant!! A must see and delicious healthy cuisine!!!“

“Went here twice on our recent stay in the area to try different options. The tofu and broccoli in garlic sauce was one of the best tofus I’ve ever had. The sesame tofu was also amazing. The menu is laid out so that you can easily identify the vegan dishes, which are plentiful. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.“

“This is a very small restaurant doing mainly takeout business; no service, no atmosphere, just food. But the food was good, we had three different bibimbaps, and we were all satisfied, and would come again. So if you want bibimbap in the Cornell neighborhood, this is probably the place to go.“

“We love the Milkstand! It's a locally owned and sourced restaurant with a wide variety of choices on the menu - all of which are available all day. The wait staff is always very good, our server today, Jennifer, was definitely a five-star server. Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Just a great place to go!“

“Silo Fried Chicken – Food Truck Battle Edition Crispy, flavor-packed bird that came with “Truck Gravy” so good I briefly considered using it as skincare. The strawberry lemonade was fizzy which isnt my thing—but that’s a me problem. Ate it at their mobile bar like a civilized human. The owner? Cool as hell. I’d follow this truck like it owes me money.“

“Terrific menu ,service portions everything was delicious will return and bring friends.“

“Absolutely Outstanding! Will definitely come again when in the area.“

“My daughter and I love coming here and just sharing a delicious scoop of the best ice cream in town! Definitely worth it“

“Best place for a sub!! We love it here“

“I got a maple flavored iced latte that was amazing and a super good blueberry hand pie that was flakey and sweet. Will be back!“

“great pizza, my sister n I loved it“

“Went with a group of 4 Freshmen college students. All the entrees and the pizza were really good. Good portions. Friendly service, it was very busy, but the server did very well while tending to several big tables at the same time! Will definitely be back.“

“I needed cupcakes delivered to thank a doctor at Cornell who was very good to me and my family during a difficult time. Since I live three hours away, I needed a place that not only had high quality baked goods but also delivered. Rashida Sawyer Bakery stepped up and promptly delivered my order and I was told that the cupcakes were excellent. Not only were they extremely helpful, their prices were very reasonable as well. I absolutely recommend and thank you to their team for delivering my order especially during this busy time of year!“

“Best latin American food in Ithaca! Their new bar has the best margaritas!“

“A lovely cafe for any juice, smoothies or bowls. I tried the celery juice and matcha latte. Both were really good. It’s very hard to find good matcha latte around the area, so I’m glad to have discovered this place.
Inside the cafe it’s a little small and only limited seating.
I wish they would open before 9 AM to so I can get a juice on the way to work.“

“The Corned Beef Hash special was amazing! please make it a regular menu item 👌“

“The food was fresh and delicious. Portion sizes were excellent. I can't wait to go back!“

“Always a great time! Excellent ice cream and treats!“

“My boyfriend bought a piece of pizza at Press Bay Alley today from Adelina’s truck. I had already eaten lunch but couldn’t resist taking bite after bite of his pizza. The contrast of crunch and warm softness was perfect. The sauces, textures and flavors were fresh, thoughtfully balanced and paired, and the best way I can put it, is that you can taste the intention in this food. It is so hard to come by food that has this kind of presence. If you are going to eat some pizza, this is it. Bravo 💛.“

“What a beautiful experience. We arrived for an early dinner after a long hike (Buttermilk Falls). Our dogs (2) received the best welcome!!! A lovely big bowl of fresh cold water and bacon appetizer for them!!! And to top it off, our food was excellent! Staff were lovely!! Our server, Gina, made our visit very warm and welcomed!!! Will definitely go back again!!! 🥰“

“Lunch buffet is a great choice -healthy and quality food and great service. Life is service!“

“Graduated from Cornell in 2009 and I still think about my go to BLTease with Ginger Miso dressing 😂 So glad to see Temple of Zeus is still going strong and has a social media presence!“

“Shortstop deli is a go-to stop for me. Kristen always provides top-notch customer service! Definitely recommend.“

“My boyfriend and I went here together for the very first time and had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, the service was quick and our waitress was very kind. The only drawback to our experience was the manchild in the restaurant when we arrived. He was sitting at a table with 2 others dining in as we were, and decided that screaming at the waitress, the chef, and 2 other employees was an appropriate course of action after there was a misunderstanding when he and my boyfriend ordered something similar and the manchild was accidentally brought the wrong dish. With an air of not so subtle racism, he accused them of doing it on purpose, and demanded all of their meals (his as well as his other two very unfortunate dining companions) be completely comped, to which the other unfortunate people dining with the manchild, all completely horrified of his behavior, paid their tab and wanted to leave quickly. The employees at the establishment handled the situation SO professionally and immediately did everything to remedy the situation, which made our experience there even better. We ordered food to go, and will definitely be recommending this location to others and returning here our next time in Ithaca. Hopefully manchild will stay at home and cook his own food next time- and again- kudos to the lovely staff at Saigon!“

“The best place for Mexican food in Ithaca. Dos Amigos has been the shining light during quarantine with fast delivery. The brick and mortar in college town is wonderfully designed. I love being able to place a order online and get a text when it’s Ready to make the short walk to pick it it up. ❤️❤️“

“Val and Jim were amazing! We came all the way from Pennsylvania, and they truly made our visit unforgettable. They gave us a tour of the brewery and went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable and enjoyable experience. They were so personable, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived.

The experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend stopping by. I’m not much of a beer drinker and usually don’t like most beers, but I was pleasantly surprised. I actually loved the beers here! Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or not, this place is definitely worth visiting.“

“Visited today . Check out my review on Ithaca food dude 👍“
