Press Bay Cafe Ithaca Reviews
Such a cute little gem! The girl at the counter was so awesome and welcoming, made my experience even better. The drinks were delicious with such a fun and flirty menu!! Loved it
Great menu options and breezy chill location. My go-to place whenever I want to take home the best Matcha and/or Chai Latte in town, no doubt! I've stopped drinking coffee for years so never tried their coffee tho. They also offer dairy-free milk like Oatly for an additional price. Gahh now I miss sipping their matcha/chai, friendly staff too!
I haven't had coffee here, but the hot cocoa was great. Place is pretty small inside - four 2-seater tables and a few higher chairs along the counter. Can sit outside when the weather is nice though, or get it to go. A few pastries for sale as well, and of course coffee, espresso, hot teas, lattes, hot cocoa. ADDED 1/22/23: New owners took over in December. The hours on Google were incorrect, and I got there after they closed, but the owner was still inside and let us in for a cup to go. Very friendly and kind.
Ordered a mocha it tasted good however I was not notified when it was done. I finally went up to the counter after seeing people who came in after me get their drinks. Just to make sure I had the right drink I asked and the lady was like yeah as if I was dumb for asking. Wish I was notified as I was getting situated with my work and there were only 3 customers total.
only giving out 3 star cause the matcha latte i ordered isnt to my liking.. it’s pretty sweet and creamy and i don’t feel good after drinking it bc of the sugar. i personally prefer those with a stronger tea base (ithaca bakery has it like that!), with refreshing original flavors instead of add-ons. otherwise, the service is okay; the atmosphere is cute, good AC, good wifi, good sunlight.
I really hated everything about this place except for that one brunette barista with the straight hair. This place has seriously gone downhill since she left. Only one that could pour a decent drink tbh. Will be boycotting!
Service was good, space is aesthetic. Anything good stops there. Pretty over priced just looking at the prices. Tried one of their cold matcha specials. The matcha was premixed and mid for $6. .75 up charge for alt milk is pretty wild for the cost of everything. Black coffee is was good. Cup and lid leaked from immediately upon leaving the cafe
