Crema's Take
“Gimme! Coffee is a beloved corner café that takes its espresso seriously, earning consistent praise for thoughtfully crafted drinks like their signature maple syrup lattes and delicately balanced matcha lattes that let you control the sweetness. The intimate space has real neighborhood charm with genuinely helpful staff, making it equally welcoming whether you're settling in with a laptop for the afternoon or grabbing a fresh pastry on your morning commute through Ithaca. It's the kind of place that becomes part of your routine because the care shows in both the cup and the atmosphere.”

I'm making some work visits to Ithaca and this has become my daily morning coffee & breakfast spot. Really lovely place with friendly and helpful staff. The morning glory muffin and spinach & feta scone are faves, plus a big cup of their excellent filter coffee. Don't think I've ever waited more than 2 mins to get served. They also accept contactless payments, which most international visitors like myself will prefer 👍
I found Gimme! To be over rated. I ordered a Caramel Latte and it was burnt with an odd flavor. It was ridiculously sweet. I couldn't finish it. I went to two different locations. The first was by Cornell in a small plaza. It was really small and cramped and too busy so I went to another location. The second location was equally tiny and busy. Because they were busy, I figured it would be really good and unfortunately for me it wasn't good. $8 bucks down the drain.
This is an adorable cafe on the corner with incredible coffee and lovely service. The matcha latte is not sweet (thank you!) unless you make it sweet, the hot chocolate is rich and reminiscent of the chocolatey-ness of ice cream without being too sweet. The seasonal rose almond latte is truly divine!!! Love that they have soy milk too, it's hard to find! The morning-glory vegan muffin is delicious - full of fruit chunks!
Some of the best coffee I've had in Ithaca! I got an iced latte with the signature maple syrup. If you go there in the morning, it'll definitely be crowded, but it settles down in the afternoon. Nice area to sit outside, and the staff were very friendly.
Great local coffee shop chain! Location was small but had some neighborhood vibes going on inside. The pastries were fresh and the coffee was great! The staff was very helpful and friendly. They also have a bathroom. Hope this helps!
