The…read morestore is absolutely adorable, and I love that they have an upstairs and an additional section selling Ithaca-based merch. I visit every so often when I'm in town simply because of how cute it is. I was happy to see they sell some local products, like a hot sauce I previously found at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. Their book selection is also charming - I spotted a bathroom check-in book for guests to fill out, which I thought was such a fun idea. If you're visiting Ithaca and looking for local or homemade goods, Sunny Days is definitely the place to check out! :)

2.5 stars rounded generously up to a 3. Let me be clear: I would not recommend a friend to go here…read more So pros first: the food was good. We had scones, cheese & crackers, a strawberry & cream thing that was very good, some tea sandwiches, Irish stew, & chocolate covered bananas & strawberries. It was good. The tea was rooibos & was delicious. The atmosphere was like if you had an older aunt who was really into lace & tea sets, & was a little bit of a hoarder. Neutral points that I wouldn't classify as cons but which are facts you should know: the tea room is in the people's house. They live there. The kitchen in which the food is prepared is definitely their personal kitchen. It's clean & well maintained, but just a strange air. A lot ( A LOT) of tea sets around on display & I presume for sale, but as a slightly larger person width wise, I felt uncomfortable, constantly worried I'd knock something off & break it. And for the cons: the food is fine. Not bad at all & unlike some other reviews (check Trip Advisor) we definitely had enough food. However the owner (Sue) is weirdly uptight about telling you what is in different foods. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, maybe skip this place entirely (actually, maybe if you are a human, skip this place), and was downright rude to one of the people in our party when we asked about a specific ingredient in one specific item, snapping "I don't share my recipes" It was incredibly awkward. Sue, the owner, was brusque & short at times (I would say "almost rude" but a person with me insists she was "very rude" but then at times lingering at the table to chat with us as if we were old friends. When we came in it was so strange & not welcoming, & the dog barking upstairs just put us off entirely. Overall: the experience was awkward & uncomfortable & I didn't feel the food was at all worth the $30 per person. We will not be returning & I wouldn't recommend it, honestly.

Pretty letterhead, handmade greeting cards, and wrapping paper that could double as art are all staples in this shop, but they also carry a shifting stock of boutique gift items like (amazing smelling) perfume and candles, jewelry, books.

What I wasn't expecting was to interact with such kind and generous individuals. My experience with this shop has been nothing but stellar.

My items arrived all the way to California packaged with care, everything in perfect order. I will definitely be back, and my only regret is that this isn't my local shop. But it's definitely one I have added to my list of places to visit.

One customer left and another came over and asked me if I thought it was appropriate behavior. She then said after we heard the political comments "I can't buy anything here" and left. Just as I glanced at them, the one - who later identified herself as "the manager" asked if I needed assistance. I said "thank you for finally asking". She said.. "we were just venting."- I continued.. "oh yes, we ALL have heard it-- there have been 3 of us in here and 2 have left because you have carried on a personal conversation that can be heard throughout the store! She then proceeded to tell me she had the right to refuse service as I was being rude to her! Refusing service?? She didn't provide any! Needless to say, my husband left the 3 pairs of shoes he was going to buy and we left. So possibly 5 sales lost but definitely 3! If the sales are tanking, this type of erratic, unprofessional behavior may be why. No wonder stores are closing when this is the type of employees representing the store. Corporate will be getting a call.
