I got the chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles and it was the perfect sweet treat. If you only want a little something, you can get a kids size like I did, but they also have small, medium, and large sizes too. One thing to know is that it is cash only. If you do not have cash, they may offer an IOU like they did for us. There is an ATM next door, but I had issues with it not accepting my card, and my friends had the same problem, so I ended up paying in quarters. They were very kind and patient about it though. The line can get pretty long, but it moves quickly, so it is not a bad wait at all. It would be nice if there was more seating, especially since so many people come here, but overall it is still a really great stop for ice cream.

Great service. Delicious food…read more I ordered the tomato avocado melt. It came with white toast with butter and melted cheese. Joseph got the burger with the toppings. The ambience of Purity restaurant felt more like a 1950's diner. I liked the relaxed atmosphere. We decided to come here as I received a $25 gift card. I said why not treat ourselves? A good place for families, friends, and even dates to go to get a tater tots or a lite meal.

Prices are quite good (1 large scoop is about $5). Staff is friendly and offers a reasonable number of samples. The restaurant is large enough to house about 50+ people in terms of seating. I love the variance in flavors and options, as well as seasonal selections. You'll always find something you'll enjoy (unless you're lactose intolerant). I especially enjoyed the pumpkin cheesecake crumble. I'd recommend Purity for sure!

If you've spent any time in Ithaca but have yet to visit Cayuga Creamery, it's time to change that!…read moreI crave ice cream 12 months of the year and struggle with this because so many of our wonderful shops close for the winter, however Cayuga Creamery is here to save the day. They're open all year round scooping up homemade ice cream with unique flavors! Too cold to eat out? Enjoy your cone in their comfortable seating area surrounded by flyers of local events & businesses. Never been and want to pick the best flavor for you? Ask their friendly staff who is always willing to answer any questions you have!

Phenomenal ice cream! Better than Purity!…read more My favorite ice cream stop in Ithaca! A tad on the pricey side and I don't love their waffle cone- quite average and no depth in flavor- rather bland. Nonetheless, I love their fun flavors of ice cream! I have tried purple cow, cookie explosion (my favorite), cinnamon (reminds me of cinnamon toast crunch), coffee & cream, caramel apple cheesecake, and blueberry cheesecake! Good service, friendly workers! I particularly appreciate how willing they are to let you sample flavors! Also, very good with allergies. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

It was a very good portion for the price (2-3 massive scoops for $7). It was a little confusing to figure which line to get in at first - there's separate lines for ice cream vs food! - but service was friendly and quick once I worked that out. I enjoyed sitting outside and eating on campus!

The Cornell Dairy Bar is a very nice place and deserves four stars. It has a lot of Cornell history…read morebehind it, since it first opened in 1880, and that gives it a classic campus feel. The place is simple and comfortable, and the main reason to go is definitely the ice cream. The ice cream is the highlight here. It is rich and fresh, though it is a little sweet for my taste. Even so, it is still very good, and it feels like the focus of the Dairy Bar in the best way. This is the kind of place where the ice cream does most of the talking, and it does that well. If you like ice cream, there is a good chance you will find something to enjoy here. It is the type of stop where a scoop or cone feels like the right choice, especially on a warm day or after walking around campus. They also sell sandwiches and wraps, so it is easy to grab a light meal as well as dessert. That makes it a convenient place to stop if you want something quick and simple. In addition to the food, they also sell milk and yogurt, which adds to the feeling that this is more than just an ice cream shop. There are also souvenir items available, so it is a nice place to pick up a small reminder of your visit. Overall, the Cornell Dairy Bar is a solid and enjoyable stop. It may not quite feel like a five-star place, but it is still a very good one. The ice cream is the main attraction, and even if it is a little sweet, it is still worth trying. The long history, the campus setting, and the simple good food all make it a pleasant place to visit, and I would recommend it if you are at Cornell.

Our cake was cardamom sponge with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream, and my spouse, who has very high standards for baked goods, said that they could not have imagined having a better cake. Truly a fantastic experience.

I enjoyed the gluten…read morefree toast and bagels and got an egg and cheese one day, and a scallion cream cheese and cucumber the next. The coffee is also delicious and didn't even need a flavor added. The man taking our orders the first day was also incredibly kind and you could tell he just enjoyed his job, or at least was happy to be there. There's also a mini shop here basically. There's fresh bread and prepackaged meals here like Shepards pie and fruits and veggies. There also was plenty of cute merch and I left with two designs. Two things that I didn't like. Ordering was a bit chaotic. There are labeled areas that show where to order what, but if it's your first time in it can feel overwhelming and you might be wandering a bit figuring it out. I wish it could all be ordered at one spot, not like it's a food hall. I understand that this probably does work the best for them though and is most likely pretty easy for ordering if you're a local. Lastly, I had an issue with a woman working the second day. They have a big menu and I was looking at it above her head while ordering. She was fine while I was talking, but stopped me when I went to walk away. She said "You know, you really need to face people while you're talking to them." What! So awkward and weird. That's the main reason I took one star off because it caused me not to go back again. Very rude and felt like a mini lecture for no reason.

This visit we got coffee, breakfast sandwiches and various baked goods. The restaurant was busy and hopping with activity on a Sunday morning around 9AM. The parking lot was full but there was street parking around the business. There was also plenty of seating for us to find some room to eat in comfort. You order food at one counter but you pay at the other counter? All food is delivered to the "pay" counter. Service was fast, even with the crowd, the breakfast sandwiches were delicious, the coffee was dark (which we love) and the baked goods didn't last long. We got a cinnamon coffee cake and a loaf of bread that were huge hits. "Baked in Ithaca" - what a slogan!

We will definitely visit again

Incredible cheddar biscuit!…read more I would return for their cheddar biscuit alone- it is slightly crisp, not dry, and tastes like a cheezit! Delicious! I ordered the dolce special- so so good!

Not much seating inside- came around 10:00am on a Saturday and was able to snag a table for three. A bit of a line but moves fast. Overall, I would highly recommend trying Dolce Delight!

The server glared at me when I walked in. After I got my ice cream, I asked for an extra spoon as I wanted to share it with a friend. The server refused to give me another spoon, despite having already paid $6.25 for a somewhat small cup of ice cream.

I'm not sure I'll be returning here since there are ton others nearby but I wanted to give this a try since I walked past it everyday.
