Crema's Take
“Nestled in Ithaca, Le Cafe has quietly become a matcha destination, with regulars raving about their fresh, house-made varieties like the standout strawberry matcha that's prepared right in front of you. Beyond the specialty drinks, it's the perfect blend of quality coffee, thoughtful light bites, and genuinely kind staff that keeps students and coffee lovers coming back to this cozy study haven.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly. Light food on the menu.
