Good tasting coffee, Ever-changing origins, Delicious fresh baked goods…read more Another morning, another alarm-clock of coffee :-). "Gimme! Coffee"! We got some black and some with oat milk or dairy to-go. We got one Leftist espresso without dairy or sweetener, and one of their current special-origins. The espresso was deep, rich, and smooth, with dark fruit or chocolate overtones. Mighty nice. While we were there, July 2026, their special origins included Ethiopian Sidamo Washed and Colombian Caficauca. The one we chose, Burundi Turihamwe, had a sweet, slightly floral or citrus flavor, with a vanilla overtone. It was very bright and smooth, and blended nicely with oat milk and a little sugar. I think that would also be the case for the Ethiopian and this particular Columbian. Both of ours tasted fresh and freshly ground. We had a lovely fresh-baked scone, too, from a selection of nearly 20 pastries. Gimme! specializes in distinct coffee varieties we don't see elsewhere. This is a whole world of fine-tasting morning fuel and sublime leisure-sipping. We bought some Turihamwe whole beans to take home with us. Aaaah.

Best cinnamon roll in ithaca! Good coffee too and cute interior…read more Ambiance is nice- pretty spacious, easy parking, fun plants. The cinnamon roll is so good! Love the cream cheese frosting! The bottom is also caramelized which just makes it so much better! The cotija jalapeno scone was okay- I probably wouldn't get it again. I'm not the biggest fan of cotija in general- it's too mild for me... overall not a bad scone, just not for me. A very foamy latte- yum! Overall, I would highly recommend! You must get the cinnamon roll!

I'm a coffee snob from Houston and this is the best coffee shop in Ithaca, period. (Followed by a…read morereal period.) The aesthetic feels like an escape into a quiet city coffee shop with plants and natural light everywhere. Staff was friendly. Iced and hot lattes are both great. I'd never had a Tasty pistachio latte...until I came here. Ithaca is an incredible place, truly. But if you ever want a little escape or find comfort in city-level coffee shops, check out Botanist.

For food, we got the high protein avocado toast & the autumn goat toast. Both were delicious and toasted nicely with a nice amount of toppings. I was just disappointed that the eggs for both were not fried eggs as described, otherwise it was a nice blend of sweet and salty for both. The cashier was patient and friendly. The cafe itself is clean and very quiet, every one seated was working on their devices. There seemed to be lots of street parking outside and there were 2 clean bathrooms. The coffee was amazing and a must try for plain coffee and fun seasonal options too!

I live on the west side of town and so was thrilled when I saw that FP was coming. The reason for…read morethe two stars? The majority of their tables are two or four tops or larger, and on weekends they're dominated by lone customers on laptops, sipping their drinks at a snail's pace (or obviously done consuming) avoiding eye contact and staying in their seat as they gaze intensely at their laptops. ‍ As a result, I've never been able to sit and enjoy this new contribution to the West End. Once I got a cup to go, and it was really good. Would like to try the food and sit but, sadly, my schedule only allows weekend café going. I cannot compete with the laptop lingerers. Owners of FP, if you're reading this, here is something I'm seeing when I travel around to cafés lately. Maybe something to try on weekends?? Unless you're fine with people lurking with one drink for hours on end and, taking away large tables from new customers?

The store is kept clean and they have tables and chairs set up for working, having a coffee, and reading. They have a wide selection of books across age ranges and genres, as well as stickers, bookmarks, and snacks, candles, and jewelry (and more) from local vendors. The owners, Sam and Amber, are wonderful humans. Parking was plentiful both times I was there. Highly recommend a visit here if you're in the area, and I'll definitely be back the next time I find myself in Ithaca or Dryden!

You got your…read moreusual ice cream shop stuff, but your options also include boba, pork buns, and cute emoji pillows. I didn't try any of the food because apparently my exciting ice cream order as a boring old adult is now just a vanilla malt milkshake, but it hit the spot! The best part is that they give you a boba straw with your milkshake. This should be required everywhere. Tiny milkshake straws are a crime against...milkshakes. If you brought your dog, they also have a walk-up window and pup cups for your pup. It's hard to screw up a vanilla malt milkshake, but the unique concept, friendly atmosphere, and nice people working there easily earned five stars. I was only visiting Dryden, but this place deserved a quick shoutout!

Fav spot in Ithaca for boba!…read more I really like their panna cotta and creme brulee additions. I don't love my milk teas too sweet so I typically order them with less sugar. The creme brulee topping is a tad sweeter, creamier, and not quite as jelly-like as the panna cotta topping in my opinion. It's more custardy which I slightly prefer over the panna cotta one. Good flavor and topping selection!

The cups are high quality and cute. Unfortunately, after we were long gone, I did find a hair in my drink. If it wasn't for that the drinks would have been perfect!
