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.

Cute little gift shop with local Ithaca merch. I picked up a magnet, and they also had prints,…read moreshirts, postcards, and other fun items. One unique feature is the upstairs printmaking area where you can choose a plain shirt from a big selection and a design, and they'll stamp it for you. Very cute, artsy, and a bit hip.

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! :)

Conveniently located by a bookkeeping service and the Tompkins County DMV is a strip mall, parking was easy. It was early so only us and two other tables. The hostess/server was very nice. We ordered the spring rolls and pad Thai. They were good. This place is not fancy and has a very limited menu. The atmosphere is enhanced by many lights overhead strung across the ceiling. The price is definitely right. All in all, a good choice for an early meal.

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

During my last visit, I came with a friend and the staff member behind the counter was not only friendly but also had a great sense of humor. I couldn't find my ID (it was hiding behind my phone, classic me), and the staff cracked a joke that had us both laughing. I can't really comment on how helpful the staff are with giving suggestions since we knew what we wanted, but their friendliness definitely made a positive impression. We picked up a whole bunch of wine and some soju, and there was still so much more to explore. The selection here is pretty extensive as they have some local options. Cheers!

Best liquor store in collegetown and it's not even close. The selection of wine is more than…read moredecent, the recommended wines are legit, prices are fair, and the liquor selection, while limited, has some decent options. They also have a good array of sake at the back. Wide price range from $8 bottles of crap to $60 bottles of excellent wines from legit names. They also have decent hours: I believe they're open every day and stay open fairly late (although the hours on Google were incorrect today, it said until 10 and they closed at 8 so I was glad I called). Their main downside is the staff working. It's a slew of very very nice, young college age women who are as sweet as can be but know nothing about wine. This is not meant as judgmental, I also knew nothing about wine at their age, but you simply cannot establish yourself as a serious wine shop without employees who can answer basic questions about what's in stock. Again, they have all been extremely nice. I don't blame the employees for this but just a note to the owners that some training would be extremely beneficial. Overall will absolutely go back. No competition in collegetown.
