The inside is really big with tons of seating options and a cute but simple decor. The servers were very nice and made our drinks quickly. I got the mango yakult drink, which was exactly was I was looking for. It wasn't too rich or creamy, but was a delicious sweet drink with boba. My friend got a matcha drink they said was perfect. 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!

Not the best bread I've ever had but pretty good. Also got the patatas bravas which for me was my favorite dish. Super flavorful. We got two dishes the Spring cavatelli and the moosewood burger. The burger was really good but the pasta is where I could see why some people threw around the word bland. I don't want to say it was bad, it just was very light and didn't have a rich flavor like most pasta dishes. We got the matcha panna cotta to go which was also pretty good. Overall I think it just depends on the dish you get but I was fully expecting straight up bland food based on other reviews but that wasn't the case. The cavatelli could use a little work though. Overall it was nice.

Food is okay. We…read moretried the lasagna and strozzapretti- I wish the pastas were homemade, but at least they were prepared well. Al dente and good flavors. I would eat these again. We also tried the thai curry, burrata, peach salad. The peaches were not ripe, but the crunch was a nice textural component. Burrata and curry were fine. I wish the curry was spicier. I liked the thin ribbons of cucumber in the burrata dish though. Maybe I am being too harsh... I had rather high expectations coming into Moosewood, and the food wasn't bad per se, but nothing really wowed me. I would eat here again, but I wouldn't seek it out.

The layout of the restaurant in general is just the most inefficient way to get customers through (register is basically right in front of the door when you walk in so the line gets crowded even if it's just 3 people). Poor planning of design. Service was okay, nothing to write home about and the order took super long (3 drinks took about 15-20 minutes despite it not being busy at all). The taste was just as good, except my taro slush with no bubbles had fairly large chunks of ice in it. For 15-20 minutes that should have been a soup blending that thing into oblivion. I was pretty disappointed with my experience here since I've always had great ones prior.

I grew up in New York City, home of the bagels, where they're made fresh and served hot. They're…read morethick yet soft with a satisfying chew, and the perfect slight crisp exterior. Collegetown bagels is the most popular bagel spot in Ithaca, but I don't find nostalgia in the bagels, primarily due to the tougher texture. However, I do really enjoy their spicy Italian bagel and rosemary salt bagel (although a bit too salty to my liking), and especially their cream cheeses. My favorite has to be their parsley-garlic cream cheese which is loaded with garlic and the freshness of parsley. Other honorable mentions include veggie and bacon-scallion cream cheese. I've had a few of their sandwiches as well. Their Havana Breeze doesn't include much ham or pickles, and the bread was quite greasy on inside and outside which made the sandwich overall very heavy. Their Tour de France has roasted turkey, Brie, apples, honeycup mustard, bacon on multigrain bread (I substituted for focaccia. The bread was soft, but I would've liked it more if it had more seasoning (like some Italian/herb seasoning). The sandwich is cold, but I think having it warmed up/toasted would meld the flavors together better. There was a generous amount of bacon and Brie, but the overall sandwich just didn't seem homogenous. Perhaps a sauce or jam (like a bacon-apple jam) would've helped to bind the flavors more. Lastly, their earl grey hot cocoa consisted of an earl grey tea bag in watered down hot coca which was a bit disappointing. Overall, not the best bagels I've ever had, but their cream cheeses are delightful. I'll still go back to try their baked goods and other sandwiches.

Now when I'm here in Ithaca, I get to have Smoothie King right down the street and I couldn't be happier about it. The employees here are super friendly. Any time I walk in they're always smiling and look genuinely excited for me to be there. They are always down for a little small talk too which is a nice bonus. My go-to smoothie orders are either Angel Food (classic) or the Peanut Power Plus. Can't go wrong with either one though I am hyped to try out some other flavors too as I go in more. Never have tried the food out here but I have heard some good things about their loaded toast so I think that would be great to give a try. The smoothies at this location are also super high quality. They have an excellent amount of iceiness, which you would think would be at every location but it's not. So it's great to see that this one does it right. Overall I am huge fan of this location and I have already been here like a dozen times since it opened around 2 months ago. Highly recommend.

Brand brand new! I got the pleasure of meeting the owner, Andrew, and Zoey (on her very first…read moreday!). Both extremely kind and hospitable. Highly recommend the loaded toast (loaded with healthy toppings) and any "Enjoy a Treat" smoothie for $11 (after tax). Great protein based treat that you won't feel guilty about after a workout at nearby Orange Theory or Crunch. Come on a Friday for a free upgrade from a small smoothie (20 oz) to a medium (32 oz). Can't wait to come back and try a coco açaí bowl here. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

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?
