Adam's Corners Cafe

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!

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.

Wonderful, heart-warming, no-frills spot with friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. I grew up in Ithaca and moved back a year ago with my family after living in Brooklyn for 12 years. I had never heard of this place, and, knowing most of the places I like to go around town, was hesitant to try it out. My wife and I stopped in for lunch after dropping our kid off at daycare nearby, and were immediately greeted by the most wonderful, friendly staff, and the most delectable-looking array of pastries. We shared an incredible, mammoth-sized cinnamon bun, and we each ordered a breakfast burrito. We took a table when it opened up, and the man behind the register (presumably Adam himself?) brought the food over, complete with orange slices. My wife said it was the best breakfast burrito she'd ever tasted, and I don't think that was hyperbole. We chatted with the staff afterwards, who were very sweet and unpretentious, and I bonded with one of the owners about old businesses that were around in Ithaca during my childhood. We left with smiles on our faces. Will definitely return.

Just got a breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, cheese and croissant. Amazing, but the star of the show was that croissant! Man at the counter was super friendly and appreciative of us being there. Thank you!

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.

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!

Big Red Breakfast was exactly what I needed. The friendly staff went out of their way to accommodate me. They recommended the Pecan Bourbon Scones and they did not disappoint!!
