Mac's Cafe Ithaca Reviews
Great selection, opens early, and they've got the best chicken tenders at Cornell!
Great place to get lunch on campus, though everyone seems to think so making it rather crowded during rush hours.
The chicken salad here, amazing. (It's in the pita bread section)
One of the best Cafe's on campus but a little cramped
best sandwiches in the world
I come here at least 3 times per week and it’s always delicious with great vibes. Flatbreads and deli station are my personal favorites; smoothies and Starbucks are also great. Probably my favorite spot on central.
Cafe where mostly students eat. I would recommend the custom sandwich on the Ithaca Bakery Sub Roll specifically (most food)

Chicken cutlets sandwiches were great. The flatbreads are okay and would advise if you’re studying for an exam and want to eat something quick. Great place to get smoothies as well.

Love their flatbreads and pasta. A bit expensive though.
Sushi is good but hella expensive
This cafe has decent food but it is in a really weird location. It’s in Statler but it is downstairs and really hard to find. Nevertheless, it has good hours compared to a lot of places on campus which is really convenient. The food is basic but good.
Nice place to get food, busy during lunch hours but good for breakfast or to go meals. They don’t accept BRBs after 3pm which is pretty annoying but the location is really convenient and there are lots of options
Great food but you want to go there before or after the lunch hour it gets crowded at that time.

Mediocre food. Go to trill instead if they are open.
Only accepts big red bucks until a specific time. There are some interesting options to choose from smoothies, sandwiches, and other foods, drinks, and snacks, but my favorite is the pizza. It's simple, a little greasy which I don't like, but delicious. Personally, I go often while they accept big red bucks for a quick slice.
Fair place. I often grab sth fast here, eg pizza, sushi. If you have short break between classes, consider this cafeteria.
It is cramped as heck in there! But I had the coolest dude in the world take my Starbucks order. Totally made my day.

Got a chicken cutlet sandwich with roasted red peppers… it was very disappointing. The chicken was low quality and there was lots of bread for very little chicken. There are much better places to eat at Cornell imo
