Adam's Corners Cafe

Spectacular baked goods. Love keeping them on the cooking trays. Let them sell themselves! Adam's Corner Cafe is a hidden little gem.

World, look at this beautiful little leaf. Making up a huge beautiful bowl of salad catered by Adam's. Usual catered salads have a reputation for being wan, pale, floppy and tasteless. But Adam's Cafe salads are incredibly fresh (how?! It's winter!) and the tomatoes actually taste like tomatoes, and the carrots are real cuts of goodness. I cannot recommend Adam's enough for catering your event! Not only were the folks easy to communicate with, they were super kind, loaded everything into our vehicle for us, and even gave me an extra scone on the side. :) The food is delicious, packed in a pleasing way, and I love that they're using baskets and ceramic wear that gets returned after use, rather than throwing away huge plastic single-use bowls. Thank you for making catering a delightful experience!! Also your scones are divinity itself.

Adam’s Corner Café is a cozy little gem—friendly, relaxed, and serving up reliably good breakfast and lunch. The vibe is simple and welcoming, with a nice hometown feel that makes you want to linger. We’ve stopped in for lunch many times, and the sandwiches are fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether it’s a classic turkey club or something a little more creative, everything we’ve tried has hit the spot. The pastries are also incredible—especially the cinnamon roll, which is huge and absolutely delicious. Definitely worth grabbing one, even if you’re stuffed from lunch! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and if you come in regularly, they remember you and make you feel right at home. It’s an easy, reliable choice when you’re in the area—a go-to spot for a casual, satisfying lunch with a sweet treat on the side!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this little place. I’m there twice a week for either a breakfast sweet or lunch. The Staff are incredibly friendly and kind and we all know each other by name. I recently asked Hope to cater a large gathering. I had previously attended another gathering where Adams had catered the event. The food was wonderful. One can choose food items like sandwiches off of the regular menu, but I discovered that they offer catering options that are quite different than the sandwich menu offered at the restaurant. We had a collection of fresh and sophisticated appetizers and handheld entrées that were enthusiastically received by my guests. Hope also attended to every detail of the set up and breakdown, including tables, linens, flatware and wine delivery. At a difficult time, this restaurant did a wonderful job and made my time easier.

We stopped here before heading out to hiking for the day and the food is delicious! It’s a very cute, homey type cafe and the staff are very kind. I’d recommend the cinnamon bun/roll and the big red breakfast sandwich!

By far one of the best hidden gems in the Ithaca area! Their all day breakfast burrito is fantastic, and the service is exceptional! It's a little more expensive than fast-food, but they certainly make up for it, both portion wise AND quality! Big shout out to Pete from Pete's Absolute Asphalt for letting me know about this place!

Very nice and friendly place. Delicious options for lunch and baked goods. Almond croissants are delightful with a cup of coffee. A bit pricey, but the quality makes up for it.
