Stopped by in the afternoon for a bagel & beverage! The service was very friendly and efficient…read more Very comfortable ambiance & cute merchandise to check out while you wait for your order. There was ample seating available. The location is convenient as well. I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. Although they were out of a regular everything, they did have a whole wheat variety, which is what I ended up substituting it with. The bagel was fine, nothing to write home about. I have heard that their bagels are fantastic so I will probably be back to try a different variety! My understanding is that they sell bagels from College Town Bagels, which I have not tried on its own yet. Note that they call their everything bagels "Long Island Bagels." I also ordered an iced matcha with vanilla and oatmilk. This was the perfect matcha in my opinion! Perfect amount of sweetness, the matcha flavor was spot on, and the oat milk was creamy. This is one of the better matchas I have tried. Overall, pleasant experience and I would like to try more of what they have to offer! Be aware that it is a little pricey, but worth it if you are looking for a wonderful beverage and friendly service!

We contacted Kim of Ithaca Bakery several months prior to our pre-wedding welcome event for initial…read morediscussions, presenting our ideas as well as sought suggestions. From the outset, Kim was exceptional - she was aware that an offsite - park setting had its challenges, and given our menu suggestions, meant creative chef work along with special logistical support. I could not have asked for a more professional, supportive partner for our event - we were on the phone a dozen times; we met personally to cover final details (she even visited Myer's Park and took photos for us!!) to work out last minute issues such as decorating picnic tables; mason jar flower arrangements; and a dozen other fine details. The food - and we are foodies - was one of the best Taco Bars (Mexican with creative sauces, balanced with vegetarian salads) - This was quality restaurant-level offerings provided at our Cayuga Lakeside Pavilion - I can only note the repeat lineup from our over 100 guests as proof that they couldn't get enough of the chef's creations. Our guests were coming up to me to comment about the amazing food! To sum up, our event was an outstanding success (fyi: Ithaca also baked the wedding cake - equally superb). Kim worked with us through all the steps; was available whenever we needed to chat; offered professional advice; and personally, managed the event (she was on site with us from late afternoon until our event concluded late in the evening). This level of service was truly exceptional, and I can highly recommend Ithaca Catering - their food - service - and guidance - If Michelin would give off-site catering stars - Ithaca Catering deserves 5!

Overall a very positive experience. Service leads the review. I had the eggs Benedict, because I…read moredon't eat meat, I had it without ham. When they brought out my food, the server bringing out my food, asked if I would like any water. When she returned with the water, she asked if I would like any avocado since I didn't get ham. Anytime the servers we go to another table with coffee they would swing back around and check to see if I wanted more coffee. It felt like the servers enjoyed their jobs and were not trying to take any shortcuts and were genuinely trying to make it a positive experience. The food was good. Overall, the food wasn't amazing. It was not the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had in my life and the poached eggs felt flat and somewhat small. However, there hashbrowns were probably the best I've ever had. They were very crispy on the outside. Like ASMR crispy. But flaky and buttery on the inside. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. It was very cold inside on the day that I was there, but it was also very hot outside and so this may have been deliberate. Aesthetically it's very pleasant. The bathroom is very clean and has a really nice changing table in it which is a plus for parents.

Rarely you meet a chef who is a true artist with flavors...this is one of those times! Wife got a delicious grilled cheese that came with a crisp delicious salad with homemade dressing that once again popped with creative flavors. They are just getting started so the ambiance is coffeehouse bare. But dont let that detract you. Try the Major Tom and you'll never be the same again.

We both actually love vegan-inspired restaurants so we happily made a reservation and came to celebrate a new job while on a girl's trip. Parking was a bit of a hassle for us having arrived in town after dark and not knowing the area. We eventually found some parking on the street about 2-3 blocks away but it looked highly sketchy and walking back around 9:30 pm seemed sus. The restaurant is smaller than expected but cozy and our server was great. My friend has a soy allergy so, it limited what she could have from the menu a bit but this is what we had: -Elote Corn Hummus - 10/10 - soooo good -Veggie Lasagna for my friend - loaded with eggplant which she loves -Green Curry for me - spicy! But good. Loads of cauliflower. I had a coffee with cream and sugar for dessert and they feature the local Gimme Coffee brand which was strong and delicious with some creamer in it. My friend had the Peach Cheesecake and loved it. I did try it and it was tart, fresh, and the crust was A+. Loved this meal - it's highly expensive for vegetarian but we knew that going in. It was fun to have a fine dining feeling with a vegetarian twist. Worth it!

A glass of Pét-Nat from Osmote made for a great start; I'm a huge fan of this winery. Service was decent, and the food came out impressively fast.

Naturally, the Thai Green Curry was a must-try -- and a good call it was. Only downside: the portions ran on the small side.

Farm to Feast -- A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite…read more I don't throw five stars around lightly, but Farm to Feast has earned every single one. We came in for brunch and left as full-blown converts. I ordered the Okonomiyaki Toast made into a sandwich -- that egg-and-cabbage omelet with F2F mayo and BBQ sauce on perfectly toasted shokupan is the kind of thing you think about for days afterward. My wife had the Ramen (bone broth, because obviously) with kimchi on the side, and she was completely won over. Even our son -- who is famously picky -- demolished the Ginger-Maple Sausage Toast, open-faced, no chili oil. He didn't leave a crumb. Everything tastes genuinely fresh -- because it is. They source their honey, eggs, proteins, and vegetables locally, and you can taste the difference in every single bite. This isn't farm-to-table as a marketing phrase. It's the real thing. The service was warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they're serving. The space itself is full of character -- tucked into what used to be The Watershed, now reborn as K-House, right next to the State Theater. The energy is creative, eclectic, and totally Ithaca. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 8AM to 4PM -- and they do a Boozy Brunch on weekends. Go. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Just go.
