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.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

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…

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

This coffee shop ENCOURAGES customers to be more environmentally responsible by giving people discount when they bring their own mugs! So far, this is a very rare and precious practice in Ithaca, and I highly recommend people to go buy coffee at Gimme to support this practice…
