Roasted Coffee Bar
17 Lake St, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“Roasted Coffee Bar in Ithaca is a vibrant gathering spot where baristas genuinely care about crafting your drink just right, whether you're ordering a seasonal specialty or a classic latte. The space buzzes with welcoming energy and pairs exceptional coffee with homemade pastries like cranberry orange biscotti and creative breakfast items such as avocado toast made with sourdough from their neighbor bakery. It's equally perfect for a quick caffeine fix or lingering over conversation, with the kind of thoughtful service that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit.”

Beautiful space with great energy. The baristas were fantastic and accommodating, you can tell they really take the time to cater to their customers. The homemade pop-tarts are my favorite, and my mocha latte was made perfectly with love. I will be sure to tell all of my friends and family about the delicious food and drinks, and the excellent service
Returned to Roasted Coffee Bar on November 15. This time I tried the Cranberry Orange biscotti, which had a nice buttery taste, you could taste the orange. Definitely worth a try. My first trip to the Roasted Coffee Bar. I tried The Black Forest cold brew. It also comes hot if you would like it. It had a wonderful flavor, I will definitely try it hot next time. They have a nice selection of coffee drinks. You can also buy already ground coffee. They also have baked goods. I tried an Apple fritter, which was tasty.
What a delightful spot! Great vibes and cheerful service. Charming and comfortable decor. I had the avocado toast south ; sourdough bread from their neighbor bakery Baking by Numbers, piled high with cream cheese, ripe avocado, cilantro, jalapeno and everything bagel seasoning and a lemon wedge garnish. It was so well constructed that it wasn't a mess to eat, even though it was substantial. I also had the Snowball Latte which they happily made non dairy for me. Delish! This place is worth walking the extra block out of the main shopping center!!!
The seasonal beverages are always amazing, and a tough decision! Don’t miss out on the avocado toast…. It came highly recommended and exceeded my high expectations. Fast, friendly service, above-and-beyond commitment to customer satisfaction, and a great vibe.
Wonderful first experience! The staff were awesome and so welcoming. We got McBenedicts and several different lattes. Everything was amazing and yummy. Love the vibes here! This is a definite must stop if you are in the area. Edit: We came back and tried the avocado toast. Absolutely amazing! My husband and I come here every weekend now to feed my avocado toast addiction. We never leave disappointed!
