I visited twice. Didn't care for the turmeric latte. Ordered a large size to enjoy in the lobby but they only have small sized cups... would be nice to have larger cups for guests to enjoy coffee in the beautiful lobby. Tried a scone and it was delish. Also, offering more syrup flavors would be amenable too

Okay, this place is absolutely adorable. The plants are charming, the windows make the atmosphere bright and refreshing. The downside: the few times I’ve visited, the coffee has tasted burnt/over extracted (this past time, it was a cortado). It’s a bit harsh of a flavor and disappointing- I really want to love this place more. Maybe they can adjust their process a bit.

Lovely coffee shop. Overflowing with plants which creates a beautiful atmosphere to work, read or just relax while you drink your coffee. The inside is not dog friendly, but there was an outdoor patio with a water bowl which was nice! The staff were very friendly, as well.

If you want to relax and have a cup of coffee or espresso products, this is the place. Walking distance to the Ithaca falls. Within a quiet neighborhood (not in a mall), give it its local and personal print. Also, they are a floristry. They sell a variety of indoor plants.

Today was my 2nd time here, and I love the atmosphere — clean, aesthetic, peaceful. The employees here are very kind and friendly too. Lots of outlets (even USB ones), so I’ll definitely be back! Their pastries also look delicious and sell out quickly, but I hope to try next time too.

Botanist makes a RIPPING coffee. I had a “doppio” espresso and a caffe latte with skim milk as a chaser. To the girl with the nose piercing and tattoos who made it, thank you. Probably the best coffee I’ve had in Ithaca, which has its fair share of solid espresso. And there’s something really serene about standing in a room full of plants. Go here. You won’t regret it.

Walking into this magical and beautifully curated space of good coffee and pleasing plants made me almost start crying from how lovely it was, and how much I've missed being in new spaces during the pandy. The coffee is locally roasted in Cortland, and a small array of baked goods beckoned. The small butter cookies were perfection without being saccharine-sweet.House plants are in all sizes and many come with care instructions on their little stake. The barristas were sweet and accommodating and covid-safety was practiced, and I really did not want to leave.

Serious classic Italian espresso machine, a Faema E61. They mean business. I'm a fruity third wave coffee drinker, so I usually can't stand anything even approaching a medium roast, but their espresso was really rich and chocolatey. I actually enjoyed it, which is saying something. If you're a medium to dark roast person, you couldn't possibly be disappointed. The interior is lovely.

A lovely experience this morning at the Botanist. We ordered a dirty chai which was made from loose leaf tea with a touch of honey, and an americano made with Coffee Mania espresso. The tasteful layout, botany decor, and genuinely friendly service all contribute to a second-to-none ambiance! This space is well worth the walk or drive to the far end of Fall Creek. I’m excited to see the Botanist quickly become an Ithaca classic.

Finally! A place that’s get the coffee (espresso) and the ambiance just right. Couple that with friendly staff and it’s my new best place to get a shot or 2 of flavorful espresso and look at beautiful plants.

Could not get seated at the Lincoln diner, so we stopped in for a coffee. Wow. Fantastic Iced Americano, best I've had in many years. The raspberry scone was fresh, buttery, and had just the right amount of fruitiness. It was pleasantly light, not dense like many others. Service was fast and friendly. Go.

Botanist is an absolutely incredible place, and the thoughtfulness of the owner shines through in everything that they do. The Clever Girl blend is the bee's knees whether you drink it black or with cream and sugar (it's all that I brew at home now). If you ask the owner about her process, you'll find a dedication to delivering the best experience that either never existed or gets lost in the shuffle with most coffee shops. Food: a great selection of scones and baked goods but you absolutely HAVE to have a rice crispy treat. You won't regret it. Botanist is a must-visit whether you're a resident or if you simply find yourself passing through Ithaca. 11/10, strong recommend.

Love this little shop! Friendly staff and delicious coffee. I've been drinking coffee mania coffees for years and they're a favorite. Excited to try the Clever Girl Blend :) Atmosphere is very welcoming and the plants are beautiful. Pastries are available to go with your drink. You can sit outside or walk to the falls. Will be back :)Great job guys♡

Welcome to your new favorite place! Tucked in a little neighborhood in Ithaca is your dream made reality- a coffee shop covered in plants to purchase, wonderfully hospitable staff and the best pastries you’ve ever had. I don’t drink coffee, but my husband no longer drinks anything other than the house blend for purchase, Clever Girl. It smells devine! But listen close because the reason you will continue to want to come back time after time is the best homemade pastries. Try the scones, the cinnamon rolls, the chocolate chip cookies and I REPEAT- DO NOT MISS THE RICE KRISPIES! They are out of this world and family in Rochester talk about them regularly. Botanist is the perfect spot to become a regular! You won’t regret it! 12/10 experience

Was visiting town and didn't want to hit the big corporate chain stores. After waiting 20 minutes they ran out of Expresso beans and I thought we were looking at refunds. Looking around the cashier brings out a pre roasted plastic sealed bag from the closet to make our drinks. Fresh wasn't on the menu today. The flavor was slightly burned and no sweetness in my latte.
