Make sure to get there early to stock up on fresh baked goods-- they are too many options and it's all hard to pick from--so to help you out just buy one of each... you can't go wrong with the mochi pudding bun. Delicious! It has the chewy texture you love with the warm comfort of a bun coating. Prices are reasonable, produce is fresh. Aisles were clean and everyone working was nice. I was particularly excited to see they had various citrus plants for sale that were already fruiting! I didn't grab one this time but I do already regret it. It's hard to find mature plants like that. Parking was easy, there were plenty of spaces available. Accessible to those who need it as well.

Sunny Days truly captures the spirit of Ithaca, just like I've seen mentioned in other reviews. 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! :)

Solid food, good service…read more We started with the brussel sprouts and the gyozas. I really enjoyed the brussels- crisp and flavorful. The gyozas were pan fried- which I know a lot of people enjoy, but I don't. Too oily for my taste. One complaint is that I was expecting the squid ink pasta to be fresh/homemade pasta but it wasn't. I still enjoyed the sauce though. I wish the sauce was more of a sauce and less of a broth... it was a tad on the watery side and didn't stick to the pasta that well... a little hard to eat. Salmon was also slightly dry- it very much needed the sauce for some added moisture. Me and my friend came at around 5:15 on Monday and there was no wait- the restaurant was completely empty but started to fill up as we were on the way out. Overall, all of the food was fine though I'm not sure I would return.

Green Castle is small, like "blink and you might miss it" small, but it's got the essentials if…read moreyou're in need of a quick grocery run. You'll find the staples for your next Korean feast, but you might feel the sting in your wallet afterward -- prices are definitely on the higher side. It's not the kind of place where you load up a cart and feel like a budget-savvy hero, but it's convenient if you're in the area and don't feel like trekking to a larger store. Overall, Green Castle does the job, but it's more of a 3/5 kind of market: handy in a pinch, but you probably won't be writing home about it. Unless you're writing this review.

Finally got to try Asempe Kitchen at the Ithaca Farmers Market - it was actually my first stop of…read morethe day! My sister absolutely devoured the bowl, but one of the dishes I had was peanut butter-based... and I'm just not a peanut butter girl like that. That said, the flavors were bold and clearly made with love. If you're into rich, hearty, West African dishes - especially ones with peanut sauce - you'll probably really enjoy it. Just wasn't fully my thing, but I'm still glad I finally got the chance to try them!

Nkatsi Froyi & Saffron Rice: "Creamy natural peanut butter cooked slowly with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of spices, creating a rich stew" Red Red & Plantains: "A flavorful Ghanaian favorite, Red-Red is a stew of black-eyed peas simmered with onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes" Egusi & Saffron Rice: "Rich and hearty, this traditional West African stew combines spinach with onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and spices" Emomi & Saffron Rice: "Dive into this luscious stew where okra meets a medley of onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes, all simmered together" Brodze: "A side of sweet & melt-in-your-mouth fried plantains! Comes with 7 pieces" Sobolo: "Hibiscus, ginger, cloves, cane sugar, African spice Cold with ice" I'm generally not a fan of plantains or okra, but both were delicious. The okra wasn't slimy and the plantains we slightly sweet, not starchy. Every dish here was distinctively different. Even better than the food is the attention to hospitality. Four of us shared this feast for about $21 each. If you are by yourself you can get a sampler plate for about $25. We will be back. Food Service Ambiance
