Lovely, quiet cafe perfect for meeting friends, family, or just hanging out doing work. The menu is small but has a good variety of drinks and treats, options for gluten and dairy free as well. Everything seems sourced very well and handmade. I hope they eventually will have more lunch available soon, as they seem to only do it for a short period of time with only a few specials every day. Love the savory and sweet hand pies! Blueberry with lemon glaze is my favorite.

Absolutely awesome place to shop for food, my favorite in all of Ithaca. It has delicious food with lots of vegan vegetarian and gluten free options. There's a big focus on local foods which I'm totally here for. I can't recommend GreenStar enough!

Love it here! The service is great. There's so many food options. They even have gluten free options! I just love everything about this place! But it's not very cheap. For two people with a bagel and drink it can cost around $20. But great food and coffee and cute atmosphere.

Went today for the soft opening and was blown away. The shop is beautiful and there are so many spots to relax and eat. It's clean and welcoming. My daughter and I found a great spot outside and had some cookies. I was so happy to see so many local products and even ones I'd never heard of before (excited to try the local tea I bought!). Also there were gluten-free products too : ) I cannot wait for this shop to continue to grow and expand. We live nearby and I can tell this is going to become a regular spot for us.
