Coal Yard Cafe

Good fancy lattes on a Saturday morning. Pretty long wait and a little claustrophobic to wait by the counter, but overall I liked the feel of the place and want to go back for breakfast sometime.
They had compost and recycling bins out for customer use, which I like to see personally.

One of my go to breakfast and lunch spots in Ithaca! It gives me great joy to support a local restaurant that puts so much care in to their food. Service is always friendly with a smile and my meals are consistently tasty! Thanks for being a staple in my rotation of favorite places to eat!

No coal in sight but this burrito will do

Incredibly fast, friendly service in a super cosy atmosphere!

I love this place. The food is delicious (and unique; the breakfast rice bowl is awesome!). The drinks are tasty, and the place itself has a cozy feel to it. The employees are all extremely helpful and enthusiastic about what Coalyard has to offer. Who can blame them? It's all delicious!

The food was exceptional the staff was very friendly that is until two asian kids came in and all the friendliness they showed us two white people went out the door. They were given short responses where we were given these long and happy responses. Not sure if this was on purpose or not. The two kids didn't seem to notice but I did and it made me just a little sad they couldn't be shown the same enthusiasm.

I have been coming to Coal Yard Cafe at least once a week for the past two years and it is the highlight of my morning. Not only is the food Amazing, but the service is outstanding as well. I no longer consider the employee's servers, but instead, I consider them friends.

The atmosphere is beautiful I’ve been working outside of this place for two days. They allowed me to use the bathroom without having to buy a thing which is rare and much appreciated if your flagger like I am Their food was fantastic and they brought me out drinks when I was way too hot there caring loving and honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited sure it’s small but it’s wonderful. I give this place five stars because you don’t find places like this anymore they’re rare and beautiful places and I hope it stays open for generations to come

Came in for brunch. My sandwich was good, but my friends soup wasn't appealing to him and he couldn't finish it. I give three stars because we got very rude service both at the cashier and while we were looking for seats.

I have concerns about the treatment of Asian-American customers at this establishment. Friends of mine have reported mistreatment and ridicule.
