Right along the main strip in Homer, NY is a sweet little back and cafe that sits right next to my…read moretattoo shop that i frequent. I decided to stop in and see what kind of goodies they had to offer afterwards, and I was delighted to see many Halloween themed choices! I purchased the rice krispie treats made to look like mummies and Frankensteins monsters to share with my coworkers. We loved them! These were appropriately priced as well. The shop also offers cold and hot drinks, and the girl behind the counter was baking items as I was perusing so you could smell the delicious baked goods!

My first order from Racquel was back to 2019. Since then, I've ordered birthday cakes/cupcakes each…read moreyear for my two children who studied in Cornell. Racquel's cake is delicious and designed with a true artist's touch. She's very easy to talk to when I wanted to customize it. Her ordering process is also very straightforward, getting back to me quickly after the online form is submitted. We are from Texas. Racquel's business is truly a blessing to families like us and helps us to stay close to the important days with our children when they are thousands of miles away from home. Thank You Racquel for all the beautiful cakes and moments. I highly recommend this business!

We got our wedding cake and cupcakes from Sinfully Delicious and they were stunning and delectable!…read moreRaquel was great to work with as we nailed down our flavors and numbers, and multiple guests told us that this was the best dessert they'd ever had at a wedding. Our cake was cardamom sponge with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream, and my spouse, who has very high standards for baked goods, said that they could not have imagined having a better cake. Truly a fantastic experience.

Home-made soft-serve and sorbet! Great flavors!…read more We found Sweet Melissa's Ice Cream shortly after lunch. (Jul 2026) We had to try their ice cream bars: homemade lemon chocolate chip ice cream, with a coat of crumbled lemon cookies, half-dipped in homemade dark-chocolate shell! Clever and delicious! We also had a dish of homemade Blueberry Guava sorbet! Intense red-purple color and sweet frozen flavor! Great summer treats! We ate faster than they melted :-)

Cute seasonal ice cream spot in Ithaca!…read more Located in downtown- the line can get pretty long in the evenings- even on weekdays. Cash only so be prepared. I am partial to soft serve but have tried both their hard icecream and soft serve. I prefer their soft serve but wish they had more flavors. I tried the classic chocolate twist and the two berry twist soft serves. In the two berry twist, I didn't like the pink flavor- it was too icy and more like a sorbet/dole whip than true soft serve. I liked the purple flavor thought! Overall, I still frequent Sweet Melissa's for softserve close to Cornell! Would recommend!

Mama Said Hand Pies | Ithaca, NY…read more One of my favorite local food spots in Upstate New York near Cornell University! Mama Said Hand Pies is a cozy local spot in Ithaca serving handmade savory and sweet pies made with locally sourced ingredients and baked fresh daily. Sausage Gravy, Egg & Cheddar Pie (Recommend ) Filled with chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and white cheddar wrapped in an incredibly flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust had a rich buttery flavor without feeling greasy, and the savory filling made every bite so comforting. Mushroom Pie (Recommend ) Packed with sautéed mushrooms and served with a green sauce on the side. Honestly, I didn't even need the sauce because the pie was already flavorful on its own. Pepper Jack Beef Pie Filled with ground beef, pepper jack cheese, and curry-like spices. This one wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband really enjoyed it!

Tried these at the farmer's market! Very yummy!…read more We tried the blueberry one with lemon icing and the spanakopita. The blueberry one was piping hot. Honestly these were both really good. the crust wasn't soggy and I liked trying both a sweet and a savory hand pie. I have also tried the mushroom oaxaca one which is my favorite! Overall, I would recommend!

Service was amazing. From greeting us as we came in to bringing us samples of their different teas, we were delighted by the friendliness of the staff. Menu- offering a variety of hot and cold options. All healthy and homemade. We got the beef chili, Deli Pesto and Deli Rose sandwiches along with an order of waffles. Portions were generous and unfortunately too filling that we didn't have room for dessert ( though they sounded delicious) Interesting history to the concept and pleased to learn they had multiple locations around the US and world. We will definitely visit again

A quick trip on my lunch break around the area lead me to a familiar place especially back home…read more When you get those cravings of something sweet, no matter what time of the day, one place fits that perfectly and that is Insomnia Cookie. I was persuaded to stop in with one of my clinical colleague stopped in on our lunch break next to Upstate Hospital. I went with a 6 box of the good stuff: 2 triple chocolate, 2 walnut chocolate chip, 1 blondie and 1 brookie. It's pretty self explanatory, soft baked, melty chocolate, and definitely not good for me but so delicious haha Overall I enjoyed the visit to Insomnia cookie. I never been disappointed on my visit especially back home in Texas. I only had 2 because I'd be insane to have it all in one go. But you can't beat the sweets. But one thing to note is the premium items are baked in smaller batches. If you want a good amount of it, I was told to special order it ahead of time. At most they do 4-5 of each but the regular menu is always available. Just your local cookie fix, in and out then indulge. Treat yourself
