This is the cutest little bookstore and coffee spot in Dryden, NY! I came by here when I visited a…read morefriend who lives in Ithaca, and also participated in their Fantasy Friday Knights series as an author. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. 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!

We went a little after they opened and it was a great time because it wasn't too busy. Any time I drive by the parking lot is full. They have parking in the front and around the right side of the building. I tried the Meier's Creek Choccy Milk, Other Half BA 10X Bananaversary, TALEA Beer Hibiscus Splash, and Allagash Allagash White and I enjoyed all of them. The bathrooms were clean and easy to find and I can't wait to go back in the spring/summer to check out their outside seating because they have about 15 tables. They also host a game night and have live music. Definitely a hotspot in the Ithaca area.

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.

So happy to have a new coffee shop in Elmira, with great hours and great service AND a drive thru!…read more The staff is like the friendliest ever; they had run out of most food due to lots of business in their first week, but the barista explained everything to us and was so nice and accommodating and gave us a sample. They did still have mini cheesecakes, danishes, muffins, cupcakes. We tried the cold brew sweet cold foam, one with caramel foam and one with lavender foam (made with natural organic syrups); both were delicious, and def sweet enough from just the foam. They also let us try the lemon blueberry scones and they were so good. I love that they have tons of seating, both indoors and outdoors, and a community gathering room. There's a couple armchairs too; I think the addition of a couch or two, plus music playing, would help make the space even cozier. We enjoyed getting some online work done here in their space while sipping coffee. Love the Christian decor too. Much love and support for this new business!

This whole place was the perfect autumnal treat i needed.

Well before it's charming renovation, back to when it had leather bar stools at the bakery counter and Jim in the back making the best apple fritters you've ever had. I come whenever I'm in town and it's always good. I think more than anything I come for the nostalgia. The Rice Krispie treats are always a solid pick and I enjoy them a lot. Same with the smiley face cookies, the bakery frosting is the best. I got a parfait for the first time since high school though and was sorely disappointed. They used to use wake robin yogurt (which I do remember them discontinuing some years ago), but now the yogurt is SO sweet. Overall it makes the parfait too sweet with the homemade granola and blueberry coulis. I couldn't help but notice how much smaller the parfait portions are too. They used to be full sized cups and now they're nearly half their former size which was definitely disappointing considering the price has certainly not gone down. In summary, the bakery will always hold a special place in my heart. Been going since I was a baby. The treats are good, sandwiches are solid, and they have a wide variety of beverages. Steer clear of the updated parfait though
