This is the cutest little bookstore and coffee spot in Dryden, NY! I came by here when I visited a…read morefriend who lives in Ithaca, and also participated in their Fantasy Friday Knights series as an author. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. The store is kept clean and they have tables and chairs set up for working, having a coffee, and reading. They have a wide selection of books across age ranges and genres, as well as stickers, bookmarks, and snacks, candles, and jewelry (and more) from local vendors. The owners, Sam and Amber, are wonderful humans. Parking was plentiful both times I was there. Highly recommend a visit here if you're in the area, and I'll definitely be back the next time I find myself in Ithaca or Dryden!

I don't think it was appropriate for a child, and I would not have brought him in there had I known. I got a strawberry matcha. Despite the strawberry on the bottom, it was not very sweet.

This is one of my favorite places to come for good food, good vibes, and good beers. I'm a little…read moreindecisive so I always get a flight to try a few because they have a large list to choose from and you can try 4 with their flights. We went a little after they opened and it was a great time because it wasn't too busy. Any time I drive by the parking lot is full. They have parking in the front and around the right side of the building. I tried the Meier's Creek Choccy Milk, Other Half BA 10X Bananaversary, TALEA Beer Hibiscus Splash, and Allagash Allagash White and I enjoyed all of them. The bathrooms were clean and easy to find and I can't wait to go back in the spring/summer to check out their outside seating because they have about 15 tables. They also host a game night and have live music. Definitely a hotspot in the Ithaca area.

I absolutely love Coffee Mania! Their drinks are always amazing, the staff is always friendly, and…read moretheir baked goods are always delicious. This location specifically can be a little tricky to get in and out of, but that's about the only downside. If you're in Cortland, this is definitely a place to check out!

It's very easy to overlook this small drive-up coffee shop as you drive through Cortland on Port…read moreWatson Street, but - as I discovered from my sister-in-law who lives in the area - locals know it as "the place" to pick up their morning/afternoon/evening (or whenever!) coffee! Why? Because they have all sorts of good coffee and lots of different kinds of flavor shots, if you're into that sort of thing. They also have a great variety of muffins, scones, rice krispy bars, etc, if you'd like to take along a little snack. And... wow, are they friendly! Always pleasant and extremely welcoming. I live out of town, but whenever I happen to be in the Cortland, NY area, I always see my Google Maps app to take me to Coffee Mania on Port Watson Street. By the way, this is only a drive-up establishment - no place to sit and put your feet up - but grab that great cup of coffee (and maybe a tasty snack) and head off to wherever you're going. Even though you may not know me, you'll thank me for steering you there!

Best cinnamon roll in ithaca! Good coffee too and cute interior…read more Ambiance is nice- pretty spacious, easy parking, fun plants. The cinnamon roll is so good! Love the cream cheese frosting! The bottom is also caramelized which just makes it so much better! The cotija jalapeno scone was okay- I probably wouldn't get it again. I'm not the biggest fan of cotija in general- it's too mild for me... overall not a bad scone, just not for me. A very foamy latte- yum! Overall, I would highly recommend! You must get the cinnamon roll!

I'm a coffee snob from Houston and this is the best coffee shop in Ithaca, period. (Followed by a…read morereal period.) The aesthetic feels like an escape into a quiet city coffee shop with plants and natural light everywhere. Staff was friendly. Iced and hot lattes are both great. I'd never had a Tasty pistachio latte...until I came here. Ithaca is an incredible place, truly. But if you ever want a little escape or find comfort in city-level coffee shops, check out Botanist.

So happy to have a new coffee shop in Elmira, with great hours and great service AND a drive thru!…read more The staff is like the friendliest ever; they had run out of most food due to lots of business in their first week, but the barista explained everything to us and was so nice and accommodating and gave us a sample. They did still have mini cheesecakes, danishes, muffins, cupcakes. We tried the cold brew sweet cold foam, one with caramel foam and one with lavender foam (made with natural organic syrups); both were delicious, and def sweet enough from just the foam. They also let us try the lemon blueberry scones and they were so good. I love that they have tons of seating, both indoors and outdoors, and a community gathering room. There's a couple armchairs too; I think the addition of a couch or two, plus music playing, would help make the space even cozier. We enjoyed getting some online work done here in their space while sipping coffee. Love the Christian decor too. Much love and support for this new business!

This whole place was the perfect autumnal treat i needed.
