Overlook Coffee Company
3825 Main St, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“Overlooking an actual waterfall in Ithaca, this espresso-focused roastery crafts beautifully balanced coffee with meticulous attention—from their own roasting to sourcing milk from local farms—and the peaceful soundscape of cascading water makes lingering over a rich latte feel less like a coffee run and more like a ritual. The passionate owner and knowledgeable team clearly care about every detail of the brewing process, whether you're ordering a traditional cappuccino or watching them pour over your single-origin cup, and the consistently stellar reviews suggest they've nailed that rare balance of technical excellence and genuine hospitality.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating.

Highly recommend to stop at the coffee shop. Even before tasting the coffee we could see that high quality ingredients are used from coffee beans to milk sourced from a local farm. Ice cream and fresh baked goods are available including vegan options. Relax on an outdoor patio…
I was passing through the area and decided to stop for coffee — it was such a good choice! The café has a peaceful vibe, with the sound of a waterfall and fresh breeze. I had a latte that was rich, smooth, and very aromatic. Totally worth it!
Spoke to the nice owner, gave us a great overview view of their coffee shop that was opened last year! Very nice service with expert skills on brewing and roasting their own beans! The tiny water fall behind the shop is a nice scenery for people to sit around and enjoy their…
