Coal Yard Cafe

Very small but cute cafe that was perfect for breakfast as we were travelling. The dishes are filling and delicious. They had taro milk tea, which I think is seasonal. I wanted to get it to try but I was too full at the end. Nonetheless, I was impressed by that. For a small upstage New York, it was experimental and not only offering the usual, typical breakfast items.

I recently started a Google maps list titled "great coffee" so I'll always know where to go for a good cafe in any given area (I travel quite a bit, so that can be a hassle). This is absolutely going on the list. The coffee was a little bitter for my taste but good overall and the food was BEYOND BELIEF good. Service was also lovely. 5 stars.

I have been visiting coalyard cafe since 2020, it’s my go to place for a quick filling and fulfilling breakfast experience!

I always get the falafel or the breakfast croissant (hands down the softest croissant in the world). Definitely swing by when visiting Ithaca ❤️

Yum in the tum! I’ve only been here for brunch. Even though it is busy at that time (on the weekend), the service is excellent and the food comes out surprisingly fast. I like any option on the ‘Unusual Suspects’ menu. Coffee drinks are great, too!

Went to have a breakfast and the place is nice and quaint. The coffee is nice and I had ordered a sweet potato hash. The dish was appetizing and had fresh egg and pork in along with a toast and sweet potato hash. The coffee is brewed freshly. If you find yourself hungry and in Ithaca, Coalyard cafe is definitely up there in the list of places to hit.

Always so delicious! I drive to Ithaca from cuse just for these potatoes 😍 Hard to find seating sometimes, but it's a very small place, so that's to be expected. They have outdoor seating options as well.

We were really looking forward to having a nice weekend breakfast here but were significantly disappointed. The staff taking our order were not welcoming and seemed vaguely annoyed that we were there. While the food arrived quickly, the poached eggs were essentially raw, the bread barely toasted, and all of it it was served with a meagre five grapes on the side. The breakfast burrito was bland and underspiced.

The only positives were the coffee (very tasty, and from a different place - Gimme Coffee) and the iced tea.

We won't be coming here again.

Coal Yard Cafe is one of my new favorite places for brunch. The food is creative, beautifully presented, and generous portions. I've been telling my friends about this place

Lovely ambience and a cute place to sit, work and hangout. Great outdoor seating as well! Food is fine :)

Line out the door had me curious! Worth the wait. Sweet potato hash was SO TASTY! Coffee was good. Definitely going to visit again. Space is small but there are tables inside and out to sit. You can also order and wait outside for your order when it’s crowded.
