    a friend with her pup at the tavern bar
    Eli B.

    I've been in several times, and really enjoy getting my craft beers here. Great variety of stouts on rotation, and they have been great in providing singles to build your own pack. Really nice floor staff who take care of stocking. The Café & shop: The grilled cheese sandwich (we had gouda) is great, I recommend getting the Purity pints here if you want to pick up a pre-packed pint but have your pup with you. Great place to make gift baskets and pick up souvenirs as well. I've picked up 1/2 gallons of Byrne Dairy milk here. The only reason I took a star off is that they don't let you know that the newer membership perks give you 10% off café drinks and other items. The barista this afternoon failed to prompt me and ask if I had a membership, which I did. I didn't get prompted at the bar, either. Perhaps they usually offer memberships and prompt other patrons on the discount, but may not see me as the type to have a membership? I noticed they prompted a white customer, and that's what made me question things. I am often the only visible PoC in this place at any given point, so I may be sensitive to these things here in Upstate NY, especially after years living in Boston and California to provide context. I'm always prompted next door at Triphammer Wines and Spirits, so maybe they don't encourage staff here as much. Otherwise, pretty nice staff, though I miss the friendliest (butch) bartenders who seemed to have moved on. They made the space feel very queer-friendly. AFAIK, it's dog friendly, as I've brought my small dog into the café and tavern without issue. I had also asked staff on separate occasions about their pet policy, and was given approval. Just make sure your pups are well-behaved, leashed, quiet, and don't make a mess (though with the latter, accidents do happen, and the staff was very helpful in aiding cleanup, for which I am grateful).

    I was looking for a pretty decent coffee place! This place is really good and has a variety of coffee and different kinds of tea! They also have some yummy homemade chocolate truffles and they tasted sooo good! Not to mention that the chocolate dipped pretzel is dreamy! The mixture of sweet and salt is just delish

    Holiday gift card! Cute winter scene!

    It's that time of year to buy holiday gifts for my team. We are working remote and don't know when we will return to conduct our business in person. I celebrate the work they are doing throughout the year and at this time of year I give them a small token of my appreciation. Perhaps this year more than past years, it was important to me to support a local small business especially due to COVID. I called yesterday to buy 25 gift cards at $20 each. The person who took my call said she would have them ready when I could come in. I explained that I would be running a couple of errands and then I would be in. When I arrived I was greeted warmly and my order was ready. I just had to pay for them. Service with a great attitude and the attention to detail is appreciated. I'm certain she was smiling but with masks on you can't see it but you most certainly could feel the warm energy. I've shopped here several times and I've had great experiences. From their veggie panini to their vegan blueberry scone to their white chocolate raspberry scone (not vegan) I've enjoyed their food offerings and their hot lattes. During Covid I've appreciated their safety precautions and the guidelines they are following. Additionally, I'm amazed at the variety of items for sale in the small store. I'm thinking stocking stuffers and gifts for friends. While always a strong supporter of locally owned businesses, I will continue to buy local. It was a great experience and I will be back soon! Now I've got to get busy mailing them.

    Coffee/Espresso bar closes at 4pm...Seriously? Guess who will never come here for coffee even before 4pm?

    I was not in the right here. Over the past 5-6 years the wifi has gotten much better, and the ambiance is, and has always been great :). Thank you ICC

    Didn't get to try the kava, but honestly? The vibes alone were worth the trip. The music? Solid…read more The person at the front? Super nice. The energy? Just the right amount of weird. We went on a Monday, so it was completely empty, which only made it feel more like a secret hideaway for people who appreciate a little offbeat charm. Definitely the kind of place you stumble into and think, "Yeah, this is where the interesting people hang out." Would I come back? Absolutely -- preferably on a night where there's more life, and maybe I'll finally try the kava :)

    I came here looking for tea, ended up learning about and trying kava!…read more If you haven't had kava before, it's a root that's powdered up and served as a drink. It has calming properties that help people be more social similar to alcohol but without the negative effects. It does taste pretty bitter and it has a numbing sensation (similar to sichuan peppercorns) so their flavored options are recommended for first-timers. The apple cider version was pretty good. I did feel the effect, but did I love it? Honestly, not sure. It felt a bit weird. But even if I decide not to try kava again, their tea was also really good and the owner is a super nice and interesting guy. People who come here are looking for something different, so give it a shot! The inside definitely looks like it used to be an elk's lounge or something. But overall, it's a chill and relaxed space with good vibes.

    We're always on the look out for a good coffee place and this place delivered! I think the best…read moretaste of coffee is drinking it black with no add ins to truly taste whether the bean was roasted properly. Staff were friendly, interior was spacious, and their pastries were yummy. We bought a couple bags to take home because we loved it so much. One drawback, their interior is too nice that people don't want to leave. Lots of customers on their laptops and devices just hanging out. If you want to just sit and relax with a good cup of coffee, sit by the window or grab a cup to go.

    Awesome coffee shop that's perfect for coworking, catching up, checking emails or just coming in…read morebecause, you can, duh! Love their branding - I instantly wanted to buy the mugs, tote bags and travel mugs. So stinkin cute! I of course am already overloaded with tote bags so I decided to hang tight. Ordered a macchiato, since they do make it the classic way. Espresso with a dash of steamed milk. From oat milk, to almond milk to regular milk, the choice is yours. Coffee wise, I'm a purist, I like regular espresso. Call me crazy, but just plain arabica non complicated beans are IT for me. I'm a lavazza and kimbo drinker so anytime there's modified beans or over worked or under roasted or whatever it is kind of beans, 90% of the time, my espresso will not come out as I'd normally prefer it. We're in America, so I get it, a lot of people do prefer it like this or perhaps order their coffee with loads of milk and impossible to drink. Either way, I loved this coffee shop for the vibes. Extremely nice cashier, staff and barista. Cute little baked good section and simple espresso based drinks, including chai and matcha. Besides the coffee beans not being to my liking (this is just me) I do love this place and I'm so happy we popped in.

I love all of the clever 20 or so live plants in the decor ( as a plant guy). Location is great with plenty of parking to be found. Only negative is that the place isn't bigger with some sit down seating. My hope is that they will bust down the wall to the right and get the laundry mat out of there so that there is more room for seating or the line.

I visited their location just off the north end of the Cornell University campus. It can easily be missed due to the small signage outside the shop, but if you keep a look out for the exclamation point logo on the side of the building, it's easier to locate. They sell a variety of their coffee blends and quite a few pastries. It's such a small place that they do not have any tables to enjoy your food or drink purchase, so grab and go is pretty much your only choice. Service was quick and friendly. We got an Americano, a mocha, and a piece of their coffee cake. While none of them may win any awards, they were a solid substitute for Starbucks which doesn't have much of a presence in town (plus you're sporting a local business). While I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit Gimme! Coffee, it's worth a stop if you're in the area and in need of a caffeine fix.
