    I passed by this place several times driving they have like a simple but elegant eye catching design black-and-white usually used for luxury stuff like Kate Spade so I get it draws the eye and then when you go to the parking lot, there's a lot of luxury cars which that's not any basis of quality but you know Maybe it's worth checking out. It's a very cute place with decor. It's open for lunch and breakfast. Our server was really friendly and nice. I had eggs Benedict. They were perfectly fine. My wife liked her vegetarian omelette very much. This is this is probably when the nicer like brunch breakfast places in the area like if you wanna have like a sitdown brunch I kinda like it I mean, I haven't tried a whole bunch of places, but yeah this is definitely very convenient for me and pretty nice so I'm very satisfied. will definitely return

    Strawberry and chocolate waffle

    Cool vibes, good atmosphere and very busy but they turn it quickly. Close to Cornell and near downtown. Diverse menu with both sweet and savory. We had the ham and cheese crepe which was tasty but I got bored about halfway through...could have been smaller and combined with something to be more interesting. My daughter had the chocolate, strawberry waffle. Again good but nothing overly special. My friend had the huevos rancheros and said it was ok, but we are from Texas so there's that standard to live up too. The mimosa gets a solid 5. Service was also very good.

    The best brunch spot in Ithaca! It's not only so cute and trendy inside, but the food is sooo yummy. I came here with my friend on a Saturday morning for some brunch and quickly scarfed down my whole meal. I ordered the belgian waffle with a side of home fries which was delicious. My friend ordered the skillet scramble, which she loved. Very reasonable prices and great service as well. They can be busy in the mornings, but for a good reason! I'll definitely be back!

    Good family friendly comfort food. Had the chicken and waffles and it was yummy. Friendly and attentive staff and service. Had the whole family and everyone was happy when we left.

    AMAZING FOOD!!! Berry cheesecake crepe is my favorite! All staff I have been served by so far are so sweet and nice. The place is such a vibe and it's clean as well! Such a nice atmosphere to take yourself out or bring someone and relax with a cozy meal! My favorite spot in town!

    Banana Chocolate and Banana Crepe

    This is a very cute and popular little restaurant in Ithaca. It's a bright interior with booth and table seating. There were quite a few folks waiting inside and outside when I arrived. It took a few minutes for the host to come back to the stand but they were polite and put me in the waiting room list. I waited about 20 minutes before I was texted for my table. My server was polite and cheerful. Despite a nice drink and cocktail list, I just ordered biscuits and sausage gravy. The sausage gravy had a nice hint of rosemary but the biscuits were bland and a bit dry. I do wish there had been a bit more sausage in it. And I'd have loved an option on the menu to add an egg. My server checked in on how I liked my plate and kept my water glass full. When she came to see if I wanted anything else, I asked her opinion on the dessert crepes. She made a couple of suggestions (one being the one I mentioned) and highlighted the differences in a way that helped me pick. The chocolate and banana crepe was delicious and light, as promised. I would definitely try Milkstand again and suggest it to others.

    Egg Benedict and savoy crepe

    Loved this adorable breakfast/brunch place. Attentive service and we loved our choices. My husband had a savoy crepe w an egg on top and I have their egg Benedict. Their local ham made it special!

    Was looking for brunch in Ithaca and Milkstand came up on my suggested places to check out. The inside decor and the seating is very comfortable and nice. The atmosphere is awesome, and the service was exceptional! We were checked in on our drinks, appetizers, and entrees continuously. I even needed a coffee refill at one point, and they were instant! Love it! The portions are generous here and the pricing can be a little high but I believe for the amount of food you get from your order there is value here. The other thing that's really great about Milkstand is the menu has so many different options to choose from. Make sure to take a look at the online menu before visiting. :)

    One of the most aesthetic brunch spots in Ithaca. Easy peasy parking in front and pretty seating. The food however was very bland. I ordered a savory crepe and it didn't taste like much. My friends felt the same about their food. My cappuccino was decent though! Not too much else to add but that this really is a solid 3 stars.

    This charming diner has plenty of seating inside and a welcoming atmosphere. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, and they serve up beautifully presented dishes. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked artfully plated. Our waitress was prompt and couldn't have been nicer. My sandwich was generously stacked, served with a fresh side salad. The avocado toast was elegantly plated, topped with fresh greens, and paired perfectly with a runny egg for dipping, which made the whole dish even better.

French Mussels broth perfectly paired with truffle fries. Reports back on the Green Ramen, Ribeye and Bolognese dishes were very good. I think I out ordered them though.

    I've had brunch, lunch, and dinner at MIX, and all with varying levels of enjoyment. My recent…read morebrunch experience included ordering a Where the West Begins omelette, which includes "Braised short rib, butternut squash, red onion jam, spinach, smoked gouda". I wasn't sure how to feel about butternut squash with everything else (I'm not necessarily a huge squash fan - but I'm trying to learn to enjoy it), but the omelette was decent... it's the other side on my plate that looked less than appetizing. The biscuit was still covered in flour (and who wants to bite down on a clump of flour?), the cheddar hashbrown casserole lacked in flavor, and the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal just... wasn't doin' it for me. Other recent experiences have been similar... there's usually one item on the plate that's flavorful or imventive (sometimes a main dish, sometimes a side), and the other parts of the plate are lacking. In reality, I think MIX is suffering a bit from rising food costs and inconsistency in their service and offerings. They've also changed the style of their menu from the original tapas-style to now being more typical entree options. Again... they've lost some of their innovative, experimental approach. In terms of ambiance, it really depends. I've been here for a work event and, because of the number of people, it was SO LOUD... they had also done a buffet offering for the event. As you can imagine, the food from the buffet was lacking, but that's often what happens when you're more mass producing your food (and it's left in a chafing dish, trying to be kept warm). On the other hand, I've been here for a dinner on a random night and was able to enjoy one of their Thai noodle bowls (and split some other apps with friends). The reality is that experiences at MIX are... well... a mix. Whether service, menu offerings, etc., I've found MIX's recent inconsistencies to be a disappointment. Will probably only visit in the future if it's suggested by others.

    Lincoln Street Diner (LSD) is a small but homey diner that's in a fairly residential area, which I…read morethink is really cool. Don't come here with a big party, as the largest table seats four people and there are probably about 25 seats in the whole restaurant. I came with a group of 8, and we were separated into three tables. The food was really good. I ordered an omelet and didn't quite expect what they handed me, but it was super good (it was more like a scramble than a traditional omelet). Omelets can sometimes be really bland, but LSD did a great job of making sure that the food was seasoned well. No complaints about pricing/service either - it was all super fair. Lastly, it gets busy, so be ready to wait!

The inside looks like a typical small diner. It's small, having some counter seats and like 6 tables, but it's busy with a steady stream of people eating and at least 2 people waiting to be seated! There's one lady who runs around and waits on all the tables. She deserves some sort of super hero waitress award. The food was top notch diner breakfast... Nothing fancy, but it really hit the spot. The coffee was fresh and strong and hot. It was a perfect fuel for a day of hiking and exploring.

I accidentally missed my reservation because it was the day before and I hadn't realized but he still accommodated and we were able to be seated still in the barstool area. The food is amazing. I always order Eggs "Edinburgh." Best poached eggs I have ever eaten. I used to think poached eggs were mid and then this place opened my third eye. I don't even liked smoked salmon but they do something special here it is so good. I can't remember the dessert's name and its not on the menu but they have this orange/poppyseed/coconut cake that is the best cake I have ever had in my entire life. I feel like I'm glazing so hard it doesn't even sound genuine, but my truth is every single other brunch place is mid compared to here. It is a very cutely decorated place and the servers are so kind. I would go back to Ithaca just for Allechant's Eggs Edinburgh and cake. I think of their food often. I chase that high that those eggs gave me, but nothing ever compares unfortunately, and I am just left disappointed. One day I will be back for you, Allechant.

    Great spot for dinner in Ithaca! I love the house-made desserts!…read more I tried the mussels for appetizer which were very good. Not too heavy or salty. For mains I tried the vodka gnocchi and the cod stew. Both were excellent! I think if I were to return I would get the cod stew though- it is much more unique. Only complaint about the gnocchi is I wish there was more cheese on top. Desserts were divine! I love how they display them all on the table by the fireplace! We tried the pumpkin cake and the poppyseed coconut almond cake. I truly don't think I could pick a favorite. I wish the whipped cream was also homemade though. I came for dinner on a weekend night (with reservations). Service was solid. Overall, I would return! I will definitely be coming back to try their brunch!
