Fresh Marché-304 College Avenue-Collegetown
304 College Ave, Ithaca, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a cozy Collegetown corner, Fresh Marché is a beloved spot where college students and nostalgic locals alike return again and again for their legendary açaí bowls—especially the fan-favorite Par-yay—made with fresh base and housemade granola. Beyond the bowls, they've earned serious recognition for their matcha lattes and cold-pressed juices in an area where quality matcha is surprisingly hard to find, all served by genuinely warm staff who make the intimate two-table space feel like a gathering place rather than a cramped café.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I’m a Chatty Cathy die hard… used to be obsessed with this place back in college, and as soon as I moved back to Ithaca I was thrilled to have access to their açaí bowls again. Also, the staff is so sweet!!!
A lovely cafe for any juice, smoothies or bowls. I tried the celery juice and matcha latte. Both were really good. It’s very hard to find good matcha latte around the area, so I’m glad to have discovered this place. Inside the cafe it’s a little small and only limited seating. I…
Was hoping to love this place and it was meh. Ordered a coffee and an acai bowl. Staff was nice. No seating which was unfortunate. I realize it's because there's no room (not their fault the building is tiny) but it's not really appealing to have to eat in your car. For the…
