Gimme! Coffee

Great local coffee shop chain! Location was small but had some neighborhood vibes going on inside. The pastries were fresh and the coffee was great! The staff was very helpful and friendly. They also have a bathroom. Hope this helps!

Gimme! is the best coffee chain (and shop!!!) in Ithaca, in my opinion, although the last time I visited was last August (the one in Gates Hall). As I’m not a coffee drinker anymore, I always order either their Matcha latte or Chai latte which had always been a fresh thirst quencher, especially when you add honey to your matcha - perfect! Not forgetting their pastries, I really love their butter croissant to go also did try their cookies which were amazing treats. The staffs were friendly and the service was great :)

A robust, full throated espresso. friends who obsess cappuccino loved it. Various croissant options - the plain and almond were both solid. NYC/Paris reference point. Restroom is available and clean.

Authentic coffee bar serving perfect all coffee beverages, hot and cold. Cappuccino, machiatto, espresso, lattes, americano, brewed coffee. All drinks made by real coffee experts. The best coffee fix in Ithaca.

Amazing local coffee. A must visit for visitors of ithaca and locals alike. Cappuccino is my go to and I love their scones. They also sell many varieties of whole bean coffee to take home.

I really wanted to like the coffee. They have a bird friendly coffee that I wanted to start using for my regular beans at home. Unfortunately, the two coffees I received user far too grounds for the brew, making them bitter and unpleasantly strong. Maybe I’ll give them another try in the future but this isn’t one worth the shipping right now.

Edit: Thanks for the concern from the owner. It may be a matter of regional preference for very strong coffee. I definitely didn’t keep my order number and I’m not looking for refunds. I ordered drip because it was the only way I could try the bird friendly coffee beans. The drip coffee was fresh but just far too strong to balance any roast notes. I’d like to presume you don’t over roast the beans. My recommendation, if it isn’t a regional preference, is to have your staff lower the amount of beans for drip brewing. It’ll allow more nuanced roast profiles to shine in the cup without the bitterness. It’ll also save the shop on supplies and costs.

Really good espresso drinks. The coffees aroma is just incredible. One of the best I have had anywhere.

Gimme coffee has some of the best coffee beans I’ve tried. Highly recommend not just trying but also ordering beans from their roastery.

Delightful environment with friendly, hard working people.
Delicious drinks also help!
Reasonably priced too

Delicious coffee, but also sweet and friendly baristas who are unpretentious and flexible. Used a coupon and they let me modify the items, and gave me a little extra just to fill up my travel mug! Discounts if you bring your own cup!
