Food was solid! So many locally sourced ingredients. And very reasonable priced. Staff was so so sweet and helpful, on top of refilling coffee, asking how our food was.

One of the most delicious breakfast places in Ithaca. It's located in the hallway of the mall so it's hard to call it quaint. The service quite slow and it takes quite a bit of time to get a table. The egg plates are fantastic and the coffee is good. While the cafe has table service, you will still have to pay at the register. The restrooms are part of the mall and you will need to ask for the key to get in.

Great little cafe love the weird little stores in the hall. Had breakfast here, the latte ☕ was very good and the Morning Glory sandwich was delicious very generous amount of bacon 🥓. The GF had the french toast she claims it was God tier. A very lovely place will be back.

Had a delicious brunch with friends on a Sunday morning. Staff was fantastic and attentive. Food was excellent and fast. We had a group six and everything was spot on! I ordered the pecan waffle special. This waffle was wonderful...made with browned butter, topped with chantilly cream, toasted pecans, and drizzled with maple syrup! Yummy! Featured in the photos are items that our table ordered: Waffle Special, Eggs Benedict, and the Omelet Special. Will definitely return! What a gem. FYI - cash or check only.

This place is AMAZING! Aside from the fact that you most probably have to wait for a long time during weekends, it's perfect. The atmosphere is pleasant; crowdy yet cozy. The staffs are very friendly and polite. And of course, the food--- It's so tasty! As expected of a local restaurant working hard to use local products as much as they can. The cranberry sauce I had that day was the most delicious one I have ever had, really! Also, the price is reasonable. I spent 21 USD for the omelette, hot chocolate, and tip. It was absolutely worth it. Money well-spent. This is a kind of restaurant that is capable of warming your heart and makes you want to revisit until you become a regular customer.

I live right nearby and love their service and locally-sourced food. Food is good, selection nothing too amazing, but just really solid. Free coffee refills are a plus! It's no wonder there's always a huge line during weekends. Staff are friendly, though service is not very fast. Plan for a little extra time to finish up a meal here.

It's a very popular place, but I wasn't impressed. I think you can find better choices in Downtown Ithaca.

Oatmeal was loaded with pecans and currents, delicious cinnamon spicy layer between bowl and oatmeal. If you like oatmeal I would highly recommend this. Arrived at opening time (8:30), but they were off to a slow start. Specials not available until 10. Woman at checkout was pleasant and helpful. Waitress was somewhat efficient but didn't seem happy to be there.

I ate here based on Google reviews. I was not impressed. When I arrived at 9:30 am it was not busy but the service was very slow. My server was inattentive and didn’t express any interest in my wellbeing. My food was delivered so slowly that I had to rush to eat and then hustled to the register to pay because I knew that my one-hour parking meter was nearly expired. I was parked less than five minutes from the cafe, so you can see it took me 50 minutes to get my meal, pay and rush to my vehicle. I had three minutes spare. Google directions are inadequate. The photo shows there is no signage only for the cafe. When you go through the entrance you need to take the stairs down and then walk ahead. There is a funny smell in the lower level where the cafe is.

Update: Tried it again - spent $20 on cold gumbo (no faults with the chef - his cooking is good, just the service). I do not recommend this place; its only redeeming quality is the nice atmosphere. ______________________________________________ I've been here a few times and truly wish I could offer a better review. The food and atmosphere make this place one of the best spots to grab brunch in Ithaca. They have an ever-changing and very unique menu and the in the vibe is great. However, I can't recommend this place purely on account of the very disorganized service. The last time I went with a group they lied to me about being able to seat us as opposed to just telling me that it would not be possible to accommodate my party (and this was not a large group where it would have made sense to call ahead). I don't mind if a place is full and can't seat any more people for the day, but I would prefer a measure of honesty about this. My group and I eventually left without ordering anything. To be very clear, the service is exemplary if you are actually able to get seated. I don't believe that anybody individually was trying to be malicious, but it seems like there were multiple factors at work that caused this and that they seriously need to get a little better organized.

Overpriced food in a run down location. We went there and we were about to walk away but based on reviews decided to give it a chance. The furniture and floors are worn down…and not very clean. The foos was very overpriced for the value, taste and location. Side order $5 one chicken sausage…$13 for a small omelet with a few pieces of toast. Service….the waitress forgot to bring us one of the drinks and food took over 30 min. I wouldn’t recommend this place or go back there.

Well first I was greated by a young man that had a fantastic personality, didnt get his name but nice ink and epic earrings . High five for an outstanding great and personality. Then I got my waiter was the full throttle trying to rush and said I would be a few was never there before and had two teens with me one that has special needs and lots of repeating of things. With the waiter being hype and pushing breakfast ed and ordering has now became a chore and not a joy. So my son runs of of vibes and atmosphere etc and now is very uncomfortable and wants to leave and is now not happy about anything, cant blame him. Place is not busy and stayed that ways . So why all the hype. And the menu is not what you expect it's kinda very different . I did not see one menu what was on Google menu for here . So that was hard for my son as well . There is no potato, egg,meat and toasted combos it pay and pieces together as you go. Now the food part, food took awhile but it's not a drive thru so expected, was plated nice ,toasted not buttered but I understand for other people that might not know you can ask for dry toasted lol kids thought it was ok so that was a win. I am going to try this place one more time at a later day to give it another chance
