FairPour Coffee Roasters

We stopped here while exploring Ithaca, and had an amazing experience. The environment was lovely and clean, and had tons of seating options. The baristas were incredibly hospitable and kind. They provided helpful drink recommendations and served up spot-on drinks. We ordered a kombucha, blueberry matcha with vanilla cold foam, cortado, and drip coffee, and thoroughly enjoyed each of the drinks. My dad ordered a breakfast sandwich of sorts here too, and he said it was great. I would definitely recommend coming here!

I've become a weekly regular at FairPour and plan to continue doing so in the future for a multitude of reasons. The coffee is amazing, the sandwiches are delicious, but even if both of those things were sub-par I'd return for the service alone. The staff has been kind, friendly, and have learned who I am after one visit (they even checked on my car because I was worried it was towed!). They are abundantly kind. The atmosphere is amazing too and a great place to work if you need a change of scenery. I've already recommended and taken family and friends to this place and will continue doing so. I'm so glad to have found it!

Excellent coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and atmosphere. Huge space that still feels intimate. Need to come back for beers some time.

Friendly staff who remember my order but also help me choose something new when it's time to be adventurous! This has become my go-to for in town meetings.

Great place to get some work done. Plenty of seating, lots of light from the big windows, and free wifi (ask for the password at the counter). The coffee and pastries are delicious and fairly priced (I'm picky about my drip coffee, but it's perfect here), and the staff are very friendly and kind. Good vibes all around.

I come to Ithaca several times per year and I’m always looking for the perfect cup of coffee. Mission (finally) accomplished! I stopped in to Fair Pour with my daughter. The space is large and airy and can accommodate a lot of people, yet it’s not noisy at all. I had the best vanilla latte I’ve ever had and my daughter had an oat milk decaf cappuccino. She had avocado toast and I had a breakfast wrap. We opted to also share the açaí bowl. Everything was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The staff was super friendly. We loved the little touches like the leather bound menus at the counter. The decor is simple and lovely. We parked on the street right outside and I was happy to put a few coins in the old fashioned meter. I’m taking my son this morning and can’t wait for another vanilla latte.

Came in on Labor Day and got coffee and breakfast. There flavors are delicious and highly recommend the iced lattes. They’re a bit pricey but there quite delicious. The breakfast sandwich’s are also extremely yummy and I would recommend those as well. Note for the people who like to work in the cafe, about 1/2 the seating has outlets.

This is a great new place downtown. I love how there's so much comfortable seating and the food is great. It's a good place to go and do some work or meet a friend.

GF options, single stall bathrooms, and lots of space... why did I just find out about this place?? This will be a go-to now. Only "wish" I have... gluten free cookies/muffins/desserts :)

5/5 would recommend. My husband and I enjoyed the sweet heat and açaí bowl. We also got a mocha and the vanilla kombucha. I already want to go back for more!

Food is really good, have had lunch here twice and extremely happy with the offerings. The coffee is delicious and their seasonal offerings are also really good. The only thing that does outdo the food and coffee is the service. The staff and owner are genuine, nice people who make you feel at home as soon as you walk in.

Visited with a friend for breakfast. Nice atmosphere for something different in Ithaca. Tried the Carmel Cappuccino with oatmeal twice(small cup). Lol Apple pastry and made my own selection of a plain avocado egg and sausage patty on toast. Would love more food optionsfor myself personally, but would recommend to others.

Delicious latte. Extra frothy. Nice location. Lots of seating. Very spacious.

Got an iced latte here. I usually prefer them sweet, so I went over to the coffee station for sweetener. There was only honey. Given that this was an iced drink that didn't work out. However, the coffee was so good I eneded up happy with it unsweetened. On the one hand, I recommend simple syrup at that station. On the other, that was some darn good coffee!

1 of our four sandwiches took 35 min to come out of the kitchen. Three were fast but one took way too long. When it did come out it wasn’t very hot indicating it was sitting in the kitchen. Gotta work on their service. It’s wasn’t crowded either. 9am on Sunday.

Walked in and the girl behind the counter said go over there and someone will be with you shortly. I went and sat down at a table ..... and sat like 10 minutes. No one came over. I then went to the counter and a different girl said, oh no .... You order at the counter. Poor customer service and communication.

This place sucks, hugely expensive, food is microwaved, staff is rude, last two times i went coffee was burnt and bitter. Gimme coffee a block away is always on point with kind staff.
