Gimme! Coffee
Bill And Melinda Gates Hall, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“Gimme! Coffee has built a devoted following around their signature "Leftist" blend and consistently excellent cappuccinos, making it a favorite for serious coffee lovers willing to trek across Ithaca for their fix. The vibe is classic college-town coffee shop—busy, a bit chaotic during peak hours, and staffed by employees who genuinely care despite the crush of students—though you'll want to arrive with patience and realistic expectations about wait times. It's the kind of place where the coffee and company are worth it, even if the pricing stings a little.”

It is kind of super over priced (especially the pastries) but the employees are awesome! They get swamped and there’s a little bit of a wait at peak students-in-Gates hours but they do an awesome job regardless.
A convenient location on campus for a coffee fix. Generally has long wait lines, especially after the lectures finish. The coffee isn't the best. The drip coffee tasted burnt 2/3 times, latte didn't taste that good for 6 dollars. Matcha was decent. Croissant lacked the layered pastry texture, being more dense and chewy rather than light and flaky. They have a wide range of gimme coffee beans, brewers, merch, and a selection of grab an go refrigerated drinks, yogurt cups, energy bars and chocolates. Unfortunately I feel the place is understaffed, and they need larger area to keep up with the demand. Most times I found the barista taking orders to be tired and overwhelmed. I hope they can improve the workspace and staff to deliver consistent and better quality.
Gimme always makes a great cappuccino uning their own perfectly roasted "leftist" beans blend. I walk a mile to one of their sites a couple of days per week to break up my workdays.
This is a good coffee shop but I wish they had sugar free flavors.
Always a solid spot on campus for some coffee. Wish they warmed up the cookie tho
