Botanist Coffeehouse

A lovely experience this morning at the Botanist. We ordered a dirty chai which was made from loose leaf tea with a touch of honey, and an americano made with Coffee Mania espresso. The tasteful layout, botany decor, and genuinely friendly service all contribute to a second-to-none ambiance! This space is well worth the walk or drive to the far end of Fall Creek. I’m excited to see the Botanist quickly become an Ithaca classic.

Amazing place to chill and have an fabulous coffee!

Walking into this magical and beautifully curated space of good coffee and pleasing plants made me almost start crying from how lovely it was, and how much I've missed being in new spaces during the pandy. The coffee is locally roasted in Cortland, and a small array of baked goods beckoned. The small butter cookies were perfection without being saccharine-sweet.
House plants are in all sizes and many come with care instructions on their little stake. The barristas were sweet and accommodating and covid-safety was practiced, and I really did not want to leave.

Could not get seated at the Lincoln diner, so we stopped in for a coffee. Wow. Fantastic Iced Americano, best I've had in many years. The raspberry scone was fresh, buttery, and had just the right amount of fruitiness. It was pleasantly light, not dense like many others. Service was fast and friendly. Go.

Finally! A place that’s get the coffee (espresso) and the ambiance just right. Couple that with friendly staff and it’s my new best place to get a shot or 2 of flavorful espresso and look at beautiful plants.

Great coffee and very cool shop. Love all the plants and fresh flowers for sale!

Welcome to your new favorite place! Tucked in a little neighborhood in Ithaca is your dream made reality- a coffee shop covered in plants to purchase, wonderfully hospitable staff and the best pastries you’ve ever had. I don’t drink coffee, but my husband no longer drinks anything other than the house blend for purchase, Clever Girl. It smells devine! But listen close because the reason you will continue to want to come back time after time is the best homemade pastries. Try the scones, the cinnamon rolls, the chocolate chip cookies and I REPEAT- DO NOT MISS THE RICE KRISPIES! They are out of this world and family in Rochester talk about them regularly. Botanist is the perfect spot to become a regular! You won’t regret it! 12/10 experience

This place is super cute, filled with natural light, and lots of plants. Their chai and matcha are both delicious! Nice simple parking lot too for easy parking.

Botanist is an absolutely incredible place, and the thoughtfulness of the owner shines through in everything that they do. The Clever Girl blend is the bee's knees whether you drink it black or with cream and sugar (it's all that I brew at home now). If you ask the owner about her process, you'll find a dedication to delivering the best experience that either never existed or gets lost in the shuffle with most coffee shops. Food: a great selection of scones and baked goods but you absolutely HAVE to have a rice crispy treat. You won't regret it. Botanist is a must-visit whether you're a resident or if you simply find yourself passing through Ithaca. 11/10, strong recommend.

Was visiting town and didn't want to hit the big corporate chain stores. After waiting 20 minutes they ran out of Expresso beans and I thought we were looking at refunds. Looking around the cashier brings out a pre roasted plastic sealed bag from the closet to make our drinks. Fresh wasn't on the menu today. The flavor was slightly burned and no sweetness in my latte.
