I was walking downtown, and wanted to try some Cornell ice cream. So, I picked out tried one…read moreflavor. After two bites, I had to throw it out. It was a processed strange flavor. 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.

Came here when I was in the city of Ithaca, NY to get a few souvenirs while I was in town for…read morenephew's graduation. 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!!!

Steve is a wizard! I was riding along the rail trail and all of a sudden, my cassette was loose and…read morebottom bracket vibrating. I emailed Steve and he took a look the next day and fixed everything free of charge. Now that's service. Old Goat Gear Exchange is a quaint shop right off the commons that sells new and used bikes and all the outdoor gear you could ever need! They also sell used items (for great deals) on consignment. Steve gets to know his customers, and when I walk in, he greets me by name with a smile on his face. Quarantine got you down? Old Goat still has bikes, despite the nationwide shortage. I've never felt more welcome at a local bike shop than at Old Goat Gear Exchange and will continue to bring my bikes in for service. I will likely purchase some other doodads to support a great resource in our community.

Wow, I can't believe I'm the first one to write a review for this store. This store sells used &…read morenew outdoor gears and the staff here are very friendly and helpful. I've bought snowboots (used), gaiter (used), ski poles (used), and other things here. Reasonably priced! I love it! When you fail finding gears you need at ReUse Center, this is the place to check. Definitely consider stopping by before buying anything new from box stores like EMS. If you really need new stuff, you can also check the outdoor store on Commons .. keep your money working for the local economy!

I don't know too much about bicycles, but it's obvious that this place is an Ithacan gem. Among my…read morefriends are some serious cyclists, so I've made many a trip up to Glen Swan's with them, and they absolutely swear by his work. They're road bikers and they buy parts, gear and clothing, and occasionally place orders with him (I'm pretty sure Glen does the whole spectrum of bikes, though). Glen does the repairs they don't know how to do - serious stuff, as Jennifer said. Glen also sells whole bikes in addition to parts at whoppingly awesome prices. He and his wife (and their two dogs) are extremely friendly, and Glen is extremely helpful to his customers as they make decisions or ask for recommendations. Also, Glen barely marks up his stuff, so if you're willing to make the trip up to his house (the drive is gorgeous), his prices are worth it. He prefers cash and is open from 5:30-8:30pm Monday-Thursday these days.

I called Swan Cycles on a Thursday afternoon because my bike wouldn't stay in gear. I needed my…read morebike for an even Saturday, but Swan Cycles is only open Monday-Thursday (until 8:30PM). Talking on the phone for 5 mintues I explained my problem and the age of the bike (an old racing by from the 1970's). When I told the man on the phone the age and style of the bike, he said "Oh, that means it uses [some different mechanism to shift than newer bikes]. I was told to try tightening a small pin up by the gear lever. Lo-and-behold, my bike is fixed! I am seriously impressed by Swan Cycles' knowledge and customer service (he waited while I flipped my bike upside-down to pedal and change gears). I would highly recommend Swan Cycles to anyone wanting great customer service from a knowledgable team.

They have tons of Ithaca clothing, stickers and accessories as well as Cornell and Ithaca university merchandise. They also have a great selection of unique stickers, buttons, posters and shirts. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting Ithaca or just browsing Ithaca commons!

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!
