Good coffee and a nice place to get some work done

What can I say but that this place is home. Where the soup and coffee is.

Best place for soups on campus!

They have delicious soup!

The best soup in town!

Good soup 👌

Sandwiches are very tasty!

Exceptional Hot Chocolate

Great soup

Yum yum yum

Great food, vegan options advisable and available

Great coffe, perfect place for working/studying, nice baristas!

An almond croissant and a caramel latte are my favorite way to start the day. A hidden gem ( although it is definitely well known among the students; as a local who was born and raised in Ithaca it took me 40 years to discover this campus cafe), daily soups made from scratch, all the chocolate, caramel, vanilla syrup, Chai, and sandwiches are made from scratch. And with a small staff and mostly student workers, the atmosphere is friendly and casual. Staff will remember you if you are a regular and go out of their way to make sure you get your order quickly and perfectly made. Be prepared for a chaotic scramble if you try to go while students are between classes, and lines can get ridiculously long. But if you can time it right, they are very quick. Definitely recommend. Plus on a nice day the Arts quad is right outside with seating and a breathtaking view. (And the main barista is awesome, kind and friendly. 😉).

Food is simple, which allows the good quality, local ingredients to stand out. Soup is filling and comforting, but menu changes daily so you don't always know what you will get. Pastries and coffee are also quality as a snack!

The soups here are divine. The Mac and cheese is addictive. Just go enjoy the wonderful creations of Choklay, she works food magic!

The food feels very real and healthier, compared to some of the other on-campus lunch options. The prices are generally reasonable

The only place on campus that makes their own soups daily. Great service and great taste.

They have a great tea selection, and I always enjoy getting a donut or croissant from them too.

They have amazing chocolate croissants! 10 out of 10, would recommend to a friend.

The good here is really good, very healthy options. Very different from the University run food choices on campus.

This is my favorite place to eat on campus. Great soups and sandwiches

Highly recommend their Roastbeef. Miss them dearly these days.

Soups are excellent, sandwiches a little overpriced.

A hidden gem on Cornell’s campus. Soups, sandwiches and Mac n cheese are all made from scratch. Personally I love there Gazpacho, it’s incredibly delicious! The staff and atmosphere is casual and friendly. The design of the cafe also give this place a unique setting on campus.

What are the better lunch spots on campus, the vegetarian sandwiches are particularly good. Unfortunately they no longer do the half and half soup and salad special, which was probably my favorite reason to go there. The line can get pretty long during the semester, so time your visit appropriately.

I love the muesli! But, the crust of my turkey sandwich was hard as a rock.

Tasty sandwiches here (we live the egg salad). Not classic sub style though. Over priced.

The chai actually tastes like chai. Food is actually very delicious, but they run out of things a bit too often

Egg salad

Overpriced, but tolerable.

People are nice, but they constantly get your order wrong. About a quarter of the hot coffees I've ordered have come out iced. I've also had them mess up the type of milk on occasion. I've also had orders stolen. Good environment but challenging to find a seat during the day. Otherwise, this is a good spot. Food-wise, the soups are great, but I've ever tried any of the other offerings.

They have coffee from Gimme Coffee, which is quite good. Everything else is unremarkable.

This place is overpriced, not really all that flavorful, has a limited selection, and always has a long wait. But it's in the center of Cornell's campus, so it's conveniently located far from any non-Cornell options. Any time I grab lunch here, I end up disappointed and wish I'd taken the time to venture farther away. But they carry some local products, so people will act like it's worth it. That's Ithaca, I guess.
