Press makes consistently wonderful lattes. I typically order oat milk and the texture is lovely--like drinking a cloud. Best place in town for a latte, hot or iced. They also have a cute little study space and outdoor seating.

Stopped in for coffee while on a road trip. Cool little place. They have a variety of coffee/Expresso options. I had the Mocha Latte and a Cortado. Both were excellent! The service was friendly and efficient as well. We enjoyed our time here!

I’ve always had good experiences here so idk what others are talking about. Really cute cafe with great coffee that’s becoming my favorite place to hang out in downtown area.

Had multiple tasty, more classic espressos in a relaxing atmosphere a few days in a row, all good. They also offer a few batch brew options. The single origin I tried was decent. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Best espresso (blend only) and iced Matcha latte we found in Ithaca. Good service and beautiful shop. Stylish space, part of a cool development with other unique stores. Worth the price if you are looking for a third-wave café. They feature local roasters.

What a laid back & peaceful tiny coffee shop! We stopped in after getting some donuts next door at the Gallery! The Barista was super kind & gave us some fun spots to check out in the city (we are not locals) The iced coffee was wonderful! Stop here for a fun vibe & great coffee!

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!

Excellent oat milk cappuccino! WiFi and a decent place to work with quiet music, WiFi, but no outlets. Barista was very friendly. Best matcha latte in town, goes perfectly with a trip across the street to Odyssey books!

The barista was very friendly. I do think the coffee took a long time to come out, which wasn't ideal. My cortado was rich and tasty and my friend loved her Latte. The space itself is kind of cramped, but the local goods and overall decoration is great. I would definitely go back.

Friendly and welcoming place, the barista is clearly passionate about sourcing and serving good coffee. I’d say it is in the top 3 of coffee shops in Ithaca. I had a 7.8 cortado.

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.

Always hopeful to find BETTER coffee, but this is not it. Unfortunately the coffee was bitter, the beans middle of the road ok. They have almond milk, only one bean type to choose from. It’s one of the ok places in Ithaca but not one of the best.

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
