No soup in the summer! Nice sandwiches. Limeade…read more Our Ithaca NY friends like the soups here, so we stopped in. Gorgers told us they don't serve soup in the summer. Not gazpacho, not borscht, no brightly colorful cream soups or bisques, no mint soups. They have plenty of interesting sandwiches on homemade bread. They have limeade! But we were here for soup in July. Nope.

Locals told us: Get great sandwiches from the deli in this convenience store!…read more Shortstop Deli has been "hidden" in a convenience store in the "lower northside" of Ithaca NY since 1978! Great design-your-own sandwiches, and if you like, friendly suggestions from the staff. It was our first time in, and their helpful hints quickly showed they have every filling (savory seitan!) and every topping and a nice variety of breads. We got their "Italian mix" of cold cuts, which included Genoa salami, sweet tender thin-sliced baked ham, and meats that were either mortadella and capicola or at least richly-flavored alternates, provalone cheese, tomato, onions, a light amount of lettuce brightened with a splash of Italian dressing and a dash of fresh salad-oil, and a sprinkling of what we call "hots": lightly-spicy pickled peppers. All this on fresh French bread, which could have been with sesame, or could have been ciabatta or whole-wheat French or several others. We added a light scatter of our own crushed pistachios, which are in some mortadellas. Nobody said this couldn't be fun :-) The sandwich was a heavenly armful, shared amongst us on one of our woodsy picnics. Extra kudos again to their cheerful helpful (patient) staff!

I always thought pita was pita everywhere. I don't know if they buy this or bake it themselves but it was warm and rich and amazing! Really fantastic. The beet salad was excellent and everything you'd want in a fresh salad. Dressing was sublime and didn't overpower the rest of what was on the plate. Can't wait to go back! Very reasonably priced as well. We don't drink but it looked as though they had a nice selection of wine and beer.

Excellent baked goods. Lively atmosphere…read more We wanted some fast, indulgent takeout (Jul 2026). We hit the very cute Ithaca Bakery on Meadow at Court. I think that's called the Washington Park neighborhood, or west-Downtown. For pickup, we parked on Meadow. To eat in, there's a pretty large parking lot on Court Street. We saw what looked like more than 40 pastries in the display case, more than 15 bagel varieties, smoothies, teas, lemonade, and a host of creative coffee beverages. Of course, i got an espresso, neat. Rich, dense, dark, hot, perfectly drawn. And a regular Americano with oat milk. Fresh and tasty. Got a generously decorated well-crisped BLT to-go. We split that enormous blueberry, strawberry, kiwi tart. I wont even tell you what we added on top, but i'll say it was nearly next door ;-) Quick friendly service. The happy chatter of well-caffeinated well-sugared people. We even saved a fellow pastry-aficionado from forgetting their purse!

I figured I'd give Cafe Jennie a try while I was back at Cornell for Reunion Weekend. Since many…read moreplaces were closed, I needed a quick lunch to hold me over until dinner several hours later. I ended up getting a pre-packaged chef salad and a black coffee, and both hit the spot. The salad was fresh, satisfying, and exactly what I needed before a busy afternoon of reunion activities. As an added bonus, we received 10% off, which was a nice little perk. The staff was friendly, and the café was convenient and welcoming. Next time I'm back on campus, I'd love to try one of their homemade offerings. For a quick and easy lunch stop, it worked out perfectly. And we had enough seats for our group. When the coffee was ready, my hand held buster went off! All good!

When I think of Café Jennie, the first thing that comes to mind is their desserts and baked goods…read more They offer a delightful variety of sweet snacks, including brownies (with a variety of combinations) and macarons--a rare find on campus. I've tried their sandwiches before, and while they're decent, they can be a bit on the dry side. The salads, however, are fantastic! Personally, I prefer the sandwiches at Goldie's. Café Jennie is located on the second floor of the Cornell Store, in a beautifully well-lit area with plenty of natural light. Finding seating can be a challenge since it fills up quickly, and it's easy to see why. Sitting here makes me a thousand times more productive for some reason. It's definitely one of the prettier cafes on campus, though I still think Goldie's ambiance is superior. I give Café Jennie 4 stars for their impressive variety. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll find plenty to satisfy your cravings!
