Seneca Sunrise Coffee
806 N Decatur St, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“This cozy Ithaca gem has earned its stellar reputation by nailing the fundamentals: thoughtfully pulled espresso drinks, meticulous pour overs, and genuinely excellent house-roasted beans that visitors travel back for. What really sets Seneca Sunrise apart is the warmth of the owners and staff, who take time to understand what you're after and create an atmosphere so inviting that people make repeat visits even when just passing through town. Whether you're settling in for a slow morning with your pour over or grabbing quality beans to take home, it's the kind of place that makes you feel welcomed rather than rushed.”

Stopped here for coffee while visiting Watkins Glen over the summer. It was so good and the staff was so friendly that I made a point to go back twice! I also bought beans to take home with me. They were very well-stocked with a variety of freshly roasted beans and I was thrilled to learn that you can also order beans from their website to be shipped to you. I ordered 3 bags a few weeks ago. They arrived quickly and make for amazing espresso and coffee at home! Highly recommend!
Visiting from Maryland and stumbled upon this little coffee shop, it honestly made my day. It’s so cozy and homey, and the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. Places like this just make you feel at peace. And the coffee? Next level!! they roast their own beans, and you can taste the difference in every sip.
Me and my husband just visited. Staff is lovely and actually listened to what we were looking for and made good drinks! This spot does good iced coffee right !
Note: Photos were taken at my home, not at the coffee house. Great coffee and wonderful atmosphere. I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in the area. The coffee brewed in house is fantastic and the last couple times I've gone I've grabbed a bag of beans - both were different roasts and I thoroughly enjoyed every drop.
I'm a local and I'm so glad I finally came to Seneca sunrise. an absolutely adorable little place with yummy smoothies, interesting options, and great coffee. I haven't had their coffee beans but I've heard great things, they sell them at the store if you're looking for quality beans :) compostable cups are eco friendly which is hard to find in Watkins Glen.
