Crema's Take

“Martha's Café wins hearts with genuinely friendly staff and made-to-order salads that feel personal and reasonably priced, though getting your order right and getting it quickly are separate challenges here. If you're grabbing a quick coffee during Ithaca's busy lunch rush, patience is essential—service can slow to a crawl when lines build up, and accuracy isn't guaranteed. Best visited during quieter hours if you want to enjoy what they do well without the frustration.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Light food on the menu.

The salads and nachos are decent. The staff is always friendly, but when lines get long service slows down greatly.

Food was fine and staff was rude. They charge for tap water, don’t recommend. Go like anywhere else and you will find nicer people, better food, and free water with your meal.
