Food Scene

Local, family-run coffee shop where everyone knows your name. #1 Coffee shop in my opinion, great espresso based drinks, pourover and iced coffees. Oh, and the pastries are incredible along with mini egg sandwiches. My favorite is a cortado + cured olive shortbread cookie.

Great tiny coffee shop who roasts their own beans and does some really cool sustainability work. Based in Ithaca, NY. The baristas take a lot of pride in their foam art. I buy my beans from here quite often.
