Garden Café
930 Campus Rd medical center, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Ithaca's hospital, Garden Café punches well above the typical cafeteria experience with a genuinely impressive salad bar, house-made soups that won local chili contests, and portions so generous they'll surprise you at these remarkably fair prices. The hardworking staff creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back even when they're not there out of necessity—regulars rave about everything from Greek chicken gyros to those legendary onion rings. It's the kind of spot where a quick coffee run turns into a full, satisfying meal, and you'll leave wondering why hospital food tastes this good.”

For a hospital eatery it has great food and choices. The soups and chilli are very good. They won the chilli contest years ago. Prices are very fair. Usually a salad buffet. Fantastic onion rings! It can be cold most days. Sit by the windows in the sun.
Great place to grab a cup of coffee a meal after a medical appointment. The food is good. The staff are Hard working and friendly. The price is so reasonable.
It's a bit cold in there for us but the food, prices and atmosphere (the workers) are all very welcoming and helpful. Great choices for a hospital food court. Salad bar, hot meals and it all smells great !
When I've eaten here in the past it was out of necessity but every time I do I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. Most recently we had the Greek chicken gyros and were not disappointed.
Great food and SUPER CHEAP!! A lot of windows warm up the eating area too. No table service. Great salad bar. Portions are HUGE! Usually pretty quick.
