Very good mocha. People were cool. Definitely will seek it out again.

The downside is that they are walk-up only (as of July 21 2021). The upside is that they made spectacularly good lattes for us: strong, fresh and distinctive. Id be delighted to go back, most especially if we reach a time when they can reopen for interior seating.

Great coffee and scones! Alternatives the dairy milk! BEST SERVICE!!!!

The coffee is really good and theyve kicked up their pastry game, wonderful start to the day, thanks!

Ive been to this place a few times and have yet to be disappointed my favorite is their cold brew with one of their homemade syrups. They staff has always been friendly and welcoming and the service is very fast. Love them!

Delicious espresso. Some of the best Ithica Destination coffee :)

Coffee was robust and flavorful, order just a COD so nothing fancy.

I was there this morning. Just had a regular coffee. It was EXCELLENT! Can you tell me what kind it was & if you sell the beans by the pound?

Possibly the best coffee in Ithaca. The latte’s always rich and smooth, a great vanilla drink to get started. Gimme also has a single-origin option to add fruity notes to the espresso drink. A cup of Americano made from Ethiopia Natural beans is my personal favourite.Has a warm and welcoming vibe, seating usually ample but could get crowded on weekend afternoons.

This is a cozy coffee shop that is nothing special. Its not bad at all, the place is nice and the service is fine, but the coffee is all around average.

Excellent coffee and pastries. I especially like the elderberry/raspberry croissants! Would you please carry more snacks approved for the Keto dieters (high protein/low carb.) amongst us?

Excellent cold brew

Best Latte Ive ever had. Smooth, mild ... The first sip is always a trip. Fantastic roast. The Leftist is my favorite

They do not have dine-in 🤷‍♂️

Glad that theyre introducing more lighter single-origin roasts into their portfolio. The standard dark roasts, which are made for the standard pallete, are a bit too Italian/French for my taste. But, service staff is friendly and the coffees are good.

Many choices of house blend and probably self roasted beans.Looking forward to coming again.

Amazing coffee, glad we stopped here.

Best chai Ive had in a long time, and my partners latte I almost had to steal it was so delicious. Their baked goods were equal excellent and service was friendly, quick and safe. I wish I lived closer so I could get their coffee more often. Definitely will be going back each time im in Ithaca.

The coffee itself was okay. People seemed nice but it took them 15 minutes to make a cup of latte. They accidentally gave it to another customer, said theyd make another one. Never did. Had to ask then they let 3 customers pass by.

Loved the Cappuccino ☕

Perfect maple salt latte. My latte was amazing.. Exactly how I would want my coffee to be everyday. They did an amazing job. I am just giving four stars because of the $1.50 up charge for oat milk. That is a bit much.

Solid coffee with tasty treats in this cozy place in the middle of downtown Ithaca where you can find tasty baked goods chocolate offerings and a lot of seasonal coffee concoctions. a must visit place for work or fun alike

Thank you for going above and beyond! I ordered some coffees as a treat after a long hard week. Everything took longer than it was supposed to on the way to pick up our coffee and we were running very late. The wonderful staff waited for us even after we went to the wrong location trying to get our coffees. You really brightened my day. Thank you.

Great iced coffee!

Really good, would oat milk mocha again 20/20

Yummy coffee with a leftist pitch. Good WiFi and atmosphere, friendly service.

The latte was excellent!

Used to be my ULTIMATE favorite place to get espresso-lattes but now they only take cards and when i was hacked I was without a card for 4 weeks and descided when my new card comes in just not going back. they didnt take my $$ when I was down why give it now

Love that they represent local artist. Love the waffle breakfast! Great place to get some work done. Service and people are fantastic as well. Most importantly, I love the location, this neighborhood needs these great spots to enjoy.

Good coffee and a nice calm atmosphere.

Nice coffee, great service!

Delicious scones, great coffee.

Wonderful coffee and pastries, as well as a kind community. Nice place to hangout and drink coffee.

Worth a visit to Ithaca just for their espresso. Quality reminded me of Blue Bottle in SF. Distinct style and absolutely delicious. The party is great, too. Nice open space with lots of larger tables to work or chat in groups.

Trying to patronize a local business for a coffee during Corona shut down. Called the Cayuga St store. The girl who answered the phone spoke so fast it was difficult to understand. When I finally got her to slow down her speech I would have to place an order online and pick up in State St. Ok fine.. online placed order I could then pick up on Monday, 2 days away?? She can’t tell me this? Done! Not the 1 st time I found this delicious coffee place to be super UN helpful.

Consistently good

There are really only two choices for the Ithaca coffee lover: Gimme! and Ithaca Coffee. Both have their pros and cons. Gimme! is focused on beverages. Youll see some interesting local artwork on the walls from time to time. While it increasingly smells of franchise over the years, it manages to still feel authentic. And the coffee is as good as it gets.

Great local place with a good variety of brews and drinks depending on your tastes. I get only plain brew so I cant speak to the more elaborate drinks. The staff seems friendly. It gets very busy at peak hours but if you visit at off times you will find lots of space and a peaceful atmosphere. Parking can be a pain as its street parking only and a lot of it is metered during the day.

It meets all the basic requirements of a coffee bar... Good coffee, locally roasted, well made by talented (and unionized!) Baristas. I think they are friendly enough, just not full of fake happy to see you smiles. Theres a decent selection of pastries and such. After these basics, youll like gimme, or not, based on ambience. Its very popular with students who are studying and chatting. They tend to camp out here for a long stay. There are many tables. Older people also frequent gimme. Local art on the walls is changed regularly. I usually like the music mix.I like the coffee and the vibe. Its not too pretentious. You should like the coffee, the vibe might not be yours.

This place is down to business. Thats straight fact. Its in the name. Coffee is what you came for, so take it. Where I hail from, the only down to business coffee shop is Coffee Coffee Coffee. ×3. Thats business. Its business casual. The usual. Wear flip flops into the snow type casual. Three buttons down type casual. Stick on a belt and tuck in that shirt tail, remain business like. The boss will be proud. This morning I got a cup of joe, without a side of dough. Dough stuffs me up, makes me unproductive. But joe? Joes like a stab to the spine with an icicle, make me cringe and put some muscle into that typing. Love you guys!!! Kiss kiss! If your not at Gimme! Coffee right now, your living without thrill and spill. Live a little. Live more. Live mas. Gimme Coffee.

Nice chill place.. Plenty of seating.. Can also sit outdoors, very good coffee.. Excellent WiFi.. Quiet.. Great place to people watch, work or just talk with a friend

Gimme Coffee on State St. is my favorite place in Ithaca. I just love the character of this place. It has a great local Ithaca vibe. The coffee is delicious. The barista are very nice and friendly. The atmosphere is perfect to sit and get some work done. I find Barnes and Noble sometimes too cold to sit, but it is cozy and perfect here. There are original artworks by local artists on display that keep rotating in every few weeks, making it a really cool place. The music is great too. The bathrooms are also clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.

This is the best coffee Ive tasted in LA. The pastries look great too it takes total willpower not to eat them.

Gimme never disappoints. Their baristas are well trained, the service is fantastic, the relationship coffee is top notch. They brought third wave coffee to Ithaca and havent tested on their laurels but have kept improving since. Their baked goods are also quite good. I love the morning Glory muffin as an excellent breakfast option that feels at least a little bit healthy.

Love it wish we had one back home didnt know was online order so we had a little wait we didnt mind enjoyed the street music while we waited staff went up and beyond to make us happy !!

I liked this place a lot. I had a latte and it was exceptionally good. Staff are courteous and efficient. The place has a great ambience, which I will always associate with my visit to Ithaca. You should go!

Tried to order 2 bags of coffee to go. I did finally figured it out, then had to wait 30 min.....however the coffee is GREAT!

Extremely good coffee. Coffee has evolution of flavor and an incredible finish. So smooth and complex.Nice atmosphere to do work. The local art, alt music, and lack of crowds makes for a nice break from the bustling coffeeshops in Collegetown.

This is a convenient location for me to hit on the way home coming from Wine Country if I need a little pick-me-up. I also appreciate their hours for a little later. Most importantly though the coffee is good and thats all you could ever ask from a coffee shop..

Very friendly service and knowledgeable staff :)

Excellent coffee and attention to the art of preparing a cup. Clean, bright friendly place to sit and work

This place is an Ithaca institution. If you enjoy high quality coffee this is a must visit.

A little warm but its a nice size coffee shop with a pretty good coffee. The space itself was interesting and its close enough to other things to not male ot out of the way but far enough that you wont have trouble with too many people being on the street.

Very busy, great place to escape the rain. Good espresso

Fantastic coffee roasters with a great shop, they offer different coffee, espresso, tea and desserts. This is what Starbucks should be. My favorite grind is called leftist and I usually have them pull me an Americano.UNCLE GERRY’S TIP: Bring a pound or two home, and use a french press to make some top-notch coffee and always GRIND YOUR OWNS BEANS RIGHT BEFORE BREWING.

I bought an apple crisp, I ate some and then realized it was partially hollow. So I filled it with hot cocoa and it made a big mess, good service though.

Barista knew his stuff & cashier was exceptionally friendly even though I hadnt had coffee yet and could scarcely function yet. Espresso (I had the single origin) was excellent & came with a side of sparkling water. I will absolutely be back next time Im in Ithaca.

Nice pastries and great service. Not a big menu coffee, but great quality of product. Good environment to sit with your laptop and work or do some readings.

Im not a coffee person, but their baked goods are yummy. My favorite is the orange cinnamon roll. Its like a croissant and a cinnamon roll had a baby of epic yum. With orange!

The coffee is second to none, I love the baristas. If only they had a better gluten-free offering ..

Excellent coffee. Didnt have the most social vibe going on since literally EVERY customer was sitting behind their laptop or ipad haha... But thats nothing the place itself can be held accountable for of course ;)

This is one of the best places to get coffee! Baristas are all really nice, coffee is strong and delicious! I always get an iced mocha and enjoy looking at their big ole dictionary while I wait for it to be made, which there usually is not much of a line for either

Oh man, just purchased an ice coffee with 2 shots of espresso, strapping in for the ride of my life. This cafe was very clean, the staff was friendly, polite, and helpful. They listened to my stupid stories, smiled and nodded and that was very satisfying for me. Will stop by again next time I am in the area.

The espresso and espresso drinks are consistent in quality, and always fantastic.The Gimme locations in Ithaca are all very nice to be in. I was sorry to see the one on Green street go, but that remaining two more more homey inside anyway. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Hip but welcoming, great espresso drinks with smooth, delious foam. I recommend a mocha with one pump of their chocolate replaced with one pump of a seasonal syrup. Plenty of seating. Well maintained interior.

I ordered a large late, it was really good, no need to add sugar. Even when it got warm, it was still delicious

Great atmosphere to do work in as it is specious and pretty quit with a lot of natural light, the scones are pretty good too.

Great coffee, cool staff...Laughed out loud at the almost movie-like hipster vibe, of people “working” on their laptops in a cafe on public WiFi, and the skinny jeans over flabby-bellied guys donning the perfectly combed over tuft of hair sticking out just far enough from under their beanie so that you can see they understand the trend.

Only criticism I have is that last I knew coconut milk was not available. Otherwise, great place. Great coffee.

I spend a lot of time here working on my laptop. The coffee is superb and worth the extra 50 cents to 1 dollar. Nice wifi, tables, and bathrooms.Side note: not everywhere who sits here wears deodorant and it can get a little smelly if you get unlucky with a bad seat or if someone walks in on a hot day and sits near you.

Best cup of coffee Ive found in all my time living in Ithaca. Absolutely delicious coffee!

The coffee here Is. So. Good. And reasonably priced too! Same for all the baked goods, really really delicious stuff! Service is always quick, I love this place :)

Fantastic coffee and coffee products! Easily the best in Ithaca, although at times the staff knows that, and can be a bit stiff. But youll be hard pressed to find better coffee beans in Ithaca, and the consistency of their quality is great.

My plain iced coffee was fine, but also nothing extraordinary. Same about the physical environment.

Always too crowded. Packed with people, hardly any conversations. Most heads down, staring at devices. Coffee and tea the usual fare. Some of the counter folks are pleasant, but most of them are surly.

Excellent, delicous coffee, very well made drinks. These people definitely know what theyre doing. Even if the general clientele are pretentious, the coffee makes it worth the visit.

Always a great experience! Baristas are friendly and provide great customer service. Love them!❤

Place was packed ran everyone through with a smile, awesome Hot Coco!!

Great quality coffee made by people who care where it comes from and how its made. Great spot.

I love their coffee 5 stars for the coffee! 4 stars cause the baristas have several times had a bad attitude about who knows what. Sometimes I feel like a nuisance ordering my coffee. But the coffee is good enough I can overlook it.

Fun, upbeat espresso bar and coffee shop. Friendly staff, delicious drinks, and a different artist featuring their work in the shop every month.

They take extra time for training and doing outstanding job satisfaction is always consistent

You can’t go wrong with the drinks and the ambience of Gimme’s, and this location is another example of this. Good place to work too.

Love this place! Great coffee and a nice roomy place to work.

Enjoyable, minimalistic, and clean atmosphere! Tasty latte! Great place to read, write, people watch, and ask for directions from the locals. :)

Gimme has a funky vibe, a friendly staff, and they know what the heck they are doing with coffee drinks. I really appreciate the creativity and the consistency from this stellar small business!

Warning Im picky with my coffee. My large latte tasted more milk than coffee. I suspect its 2 shots instead of 3. Nonetheless, great space to work from. Free wifi. Clean and friendly

Amazing coffee, friendly staff, and a cool atmosphere. They even have a few delicious vegan treats!

Normally, I highly recommend Gimme Coffee but the State Street location has gone bad because of a rabid barista Brittany. Ive been coming there for years, tipping highly andI spending between 10 and $15 a day. I have promoted them on my television show. The other day because of an Internet conflict with this woman who is been mean every since I had to block her on Facebook. this person finally reached the Tipping Point I sat down and computer even queued up she came running over and said I had to buy something I was going to use the internet. Later I took a walk around the block (I have a spinal injury sitting long periods of time needs a little exercise) she immediately approached me yelling and getting all red in the face that I could not leave my computer there yada yada yada and I told her that is no problem if it was stolen or something I wouldnt hold give me responsible Plus usually have two or three friends keeping an eye on it anyway. she insisted no I could never leave anything there alone if I was going to leave the store for even a moment I asked her why she was singling me out and ask to speak to the management Unfortunately they were in a meeting or something but this is just absurd Im basically a local a 58 year-old middle-aged do continuously does numerous acts of charity Ive never been spoken to in such a manner I cant believe that take some sort of Facebook conflict and attack me in public Ill wait to hear back from management...

My all time favorite coffee shop!!! Love Gimme Coffee more and more each time I visit..... (atleast twice daily)!!!!

Online order and pickup was a breeze and their house coffee makes me never wanna Starbucks again.

This place is great, they have excellent coffee, a wide variety. Internet connection is provided; and even some delectable pastries sweet, and a few savory selections as wells. Im glad youre here Gimmie because I had a horrible experience at Press Cafe. This mean-spirited woman tried to disconnect my computer while I was uploading a sensitive file and almost ruined it. I had to stand guard as she kept pacing back and forth frothing at the mouth. I always feel welcome at Gimmie and the staff goes out of their way to make all customers feel welcome.

Coffee was not the greatest. We are visiting feom out of state and heard this place was amazing. Very disappointed with everything.

Great coffee. Great snacks. Friendly service.

Great quick coffee spot! Im not a local but still enjoyed it. The espresso is light but had a kick to it

Great spot to grab a quick coffee and roam about town. Options for everyone.

Great muffin, great coffee. Dictionary on display. Definitively a corpse may be a living or dead body.

Always good for coffee and working on the computer. You will probably run in to someone you know here... Its a given

Coffee and snacks are great. Only 4 stars bc when its busy its one of the loudest cafes Ive ever been to- in no small part bc of the hard surfaces so everything echoes

Great coffee!!! Way better than your typical franchise chain.
