That was unexpected. When I purchased this ice cream, they did not accept cash. Strange- are there a lot of robberies in Ithaca? I would much rather pay for my goods in cash. The very nice cashier was apologizing to me. I told him that it wasn't his fault. It was pretty perplexed, because around home, businesses love when customers pay in cash. The store had a lot of Cornell stuff.

Located in what is essentially downtown Ithaca, this store sells all things Cornell University. Shirts, hats, pens, magnets, sweatshirts, pennants, mugs, books, you name it!! They even sell Cornell ice cream here, which is in a freezer. So, if you're looking to represent the University of Cornell, this is the place for you!!!

One unique feature is the upstairs printmaking area where you can choose a plain shirt from a big selection and a design, and they'll stamp it for you. Very cute, artsy, and a bit hip.

The…read morestore is absolutely adorable, and I love that they have an upstairs and an additional section selling Ithaca-based merch. I visit every so often when I'm in town simply because of how cute it is. I was happy to see they sell some local products, like a hot sauce I previously found at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. Their book selection is also charming - I spotted a bathroom check-in book for guests to fill out, which I thought was such a fun idea. If you're visiting Ithaca and looking for local or homemade goods, Sunny Days is definitely the place to check out! :)

However when I went to purchase it , I was told it was priced incorrectly ( by 10.00 ). I was also purchasing several items which would of made my total bill over a hundred dollars. But let's get back to the sweatshirt..... when I asked if he would honor the price it was ticketed , the most rudest man behind the counter said ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I explained that I felt since it was ticketed that price , he should honor it. ... well he just got even nastier and said he was going to refund me everything. I just can't believe his business sense or should I say lack of. Besides he doesn't sell authentic Cortland apparel for the prices he wants to charge. Do yourself a favor and go to the school store. Better quality and much nicer staff!

It's similarly sized to other college town artist co-ops that I've encountered, but their inventory has some of the best variety of mixed media I've seen, at an appreciably high standard. Jewelry/accessories, apparel, pottery/glassware, wood carvings, prints/paintings, wreaths, and more home decor of all materials and dimensions. We found the perfect souvenirs to commemorate a group hike we did during our trip, after discussing the merits amongst ourselves between three artists who depicted the same trail in their own approaches: linograph vs photograph vs watercolor. We also purchased some crocheted plushies and a magnet, and my better half talked me out of a piece of enhanced folded book art. To respect the no photography policy of many of the artists, I'll just note that the website's artist portfolio just represents a drop in the bucket of what you'll find. We'll definitely stop in again for more unique wares whenever we pass through the area.
