    Belgium waffle, Mate Latte....and sermon about The Creator from the bearded kid cleaning up the tables. Got a great breakfast for under 5 bucks, regardless of feeling like I'm an unholy sinner! Hooray!

    Off-putting service but the food is worth it.: The service feels a tad uncomfortable but they warm up to you if you visit frequently...the fish chowder is always fresh and the bread is warm with the perfect drizzle of butter...if you're willing to deal with the awkward stares, feel free to enjoy!

    Wierd: It's kind of a creepy little place. The decor is nice, and that tricks you to go in. Then they "welcome" you and try to force you to buy the food. They have no clue about coffee and make iced mochas in the blender. It's like a Twilight Zone episode or someihtng. I feel that way about all of Ithaca, though! To all coffee places in Ithaca: take a trip to the west coast for one hour and learn how to make a frickin coffee! Just cuz you think you're hippies doesn't give you the right to be lazy and self absorbed. I know REAL hippies. They don't live in Ithaca, where the fake hippies go.
