The food here was phenomenal! Our group went here for a late breakfast after a wine tour and we were all super impressed. They had something for everyone and everything we tried was delicious!

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.

The menu caters to many. The execution is almost always perfect. It's my favorite breakfast spot as a local.

Addictive sweet potato fries. Besides solid coffee offerings, not a lot of drink variety.

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.

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!

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

Such an amazing place to get breakfast. The rice bowl was refreshing and delicious, and the service was incredibly fast. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Still wondering why we were charged $3.5 for $2 coffee. Seems the old proprietor is a capitalist thief.

I was excited to try the food, however upon arrival with my family I found that the place is closed. It will be closed for two weeks but they didn’t update their hours on google.

Great coffee very reasonably priced. Nice to have real dishes, mugs and silverware. Friendly staff! Take a hike on the East Hill recreationway and stop in!

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

Food was okay. Fries and food were slightly burned. Price is not cheap. Wait is long. Parking is very limited.
