Bank Coffee

Nice coffee place. The mocha was delicious. It's a nice place to chill. When I went, there weren't much people there.

My new favorite spot in Ithaca! A huge selection of specialty coffees, teas, and other nonalcoholic beverages. I have only tried the crepes so far, and they were a 10/10 – I definitely want to try the cakes at some point too. The café team is friendly and highly professional! The place is also relatively quiet and has many areas for studying.

Love that there's a cafe in the Commons now for coffee and crepes. A lovely little spot. The pistachio latte was not too sweet and service was good. A nice selection of desserts and specialty drinks.

This place is adorable and the workers are so sweet! Asa was kind, prompt, and friendly. We ordered crepes and drinks. Both were delicious. The menu is small, but the options are good. What a great addition to the Commons!

Me and mom stopped in real quick to grab some coffee when doing some holiday shopping in the commons. I saw it was new and we got a vanilla latte and a hot chocolate. We added whip cream to the hot chocolate and they asked us if we wanted marshmallows (no extra charge for both) and he even toasted the marshmallows for us!! The drinks tasted delicious (i am super picky with my drinks as a ex starbucks barista😂)! The service was great and the prices for two drinks plus tip was $10.10!! There is lots of tables with comfy chairs. Some tables were next to outlets and they have wifi too so a good place to do some studying!

Coffee is good with a great selection of specialty drinks. The menu is a little pricey but definitely worth the cost. I had the chocolate orange latte and really enjoyed it. The baristas were very friendly with great service!

Cappuccino was amazing as well as pistachios cheesecake

Drinks r pretty good. The guy working the counter is HOT and the girl is super nice. 10/10 although idk why the owners of this place chose to call it “bank” coffee like what does that even mean

Great place to get some work done, yummy crepes and coffee! Six a cute little place. The workers seem really kind, it’s on the pricey side but I think you’re paying for the quality and location.

What a wonderful surprise to find an exceptional coffee shop open Thanksgiving morning. The Chocolate Mochas were delish and the service was perfect.

Best crepes I've ever tasted! Serving size of one crepe is very large and great for 2-3 people. I loved the customizable option with ice cream infused inside. I need to go back asap!

Bank Coffee has a classy, elegant vibe that fits perfectly with Ithaca. The staff is warm and welcoming, and service was quick. I tried one of their specialty lattes—chocolate orange latte. It was good, though I’ve had better elsewhere. The milk texture could be better. What really stood out was the atmosphere: calm, relaxed, and a great spot to sit for a while. Being right in Downtown makes it an easy place to stop by, and definitely worth a visit for the vibe alone.

Good latte. Pastries looked good. Comfortable seating. Good amount of tables for two. Very clean and spacious.

Small cute cafe, small space and can get busy so if looking to do homework, probably not the best place to do so. Overall staff were very friendly and warmly.

We stopped in today on our way to different coffee establishment and were pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. We have struggled to find good “fancy coffee”, aka lattes, at a reasonable price since moving back East. I had an oat milk maple latte and my wife had a vanilla latte, both were excellent. We had the burrata toast and it was amazing. And the prices are INSANELY reasonable—all of that for $20.

Went there with my family and like it so much! Balanced delicious desserts 🍰 especially kinder one!!! Customer service was kind and respectful. We were shocked that the owner is from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 as us 🥰 The only thing was uncomfortable is space between the entrance and tables. Small space to move around.

Crepes were identical to the pictures in the menu and so filling and the portions were so generous! I loved the coffee too , the latte had a very nice and firm foam and the taste was amazing. I don’t give 5 stars because i found the staff not very friendly and more focused in chatting and laughing between them which made me uncomfortable while ordering as they kept laughing and sneering even while i was telling my order.

Friendly cafe in downtown with nice decor. good spot for a study session or catching up with friends. I personally find this place has a typical underlying smell which is not of baked goods or coffee beans, and I find it unpleasant. This smell/flavor lingers in the baked goods too, even if in have it next day. Although the texture of their pastries is good, the taste is knocked off by that weird smell/flavor. I hope they find the source and fix it. The coffee was disappointing. It was a bitter flat white, with very foamy milk. The coffee was bad in both taste and texture. The espresso didn't seem to be dialed properly. Would not recommend getting standard espresso drinks. The staff is very polite and service was quick.

Excellent location and hours. Menu okay. Customer service is terrible. I've read a few of the reviews below and unfortunately, I've witnessed the same rudeness, condescension, sneering and sidebar gossip as other patrons. It put a damper on a recent experience there and honestly, I'm considering another coffee spot ( like Gimme Coffee). How you treat customers on a regular, consistent basis matters. If your hospitality is disingenuous, it'll always show.
