Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 8:30 AM–6 PM.

Ithaca is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Ithaca is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Bought a leaf of artisan sourdough for 6.99...very reasonable compared to other bakeries in our area (Corning). The bread was packed with freshness and outstanding flavor. My son ate half the loaf before we returned home! Finally got one of their coveted stickers!

I wonder if the food and coffee here is good? I hear it's good. Today I saw an open sign on the door. I was excited because it was 930. I mean, I like to have my coffee and pastries before lunch, you know? Lo and behold, the doors were locked, and the place was actually closed. With hours starting at 11 am more than half of the days maybe they should consider changing the name to "Sleeping In"?

A local gem in the Finger Lakes area, please go here. We had the jalapeño cheddar scone, hazelnut chocolate scone, their famous whole grain pretzels, matcha latte and they also sell sourdough starter in an actual gum ball machine. Almost all their products have some kind of sourdough base, which means as a person who can’t metabolize white flour, I can eat almost anything here! Everything is delicious and the staff super amazing.

The croissant was fantastic and the coffee was good. The staff was great. However, it is right by a noisy highway and intersection. So, I used the noise canceling headphones sitting outside in one of their four tables.

As a croissant aficionado, I'm always looking for a savory, flaky, and crunchy pastry to pair my morning coffee with. After years of looking all around Ithaca for the perfect croissant, I was all but disappointed and almost gave up. That was until I found Wide Awake at the local farmers market. Since then, I make it a point to grab a 3-pack of croissants to take home every weekend. But, what happens when I need my croissant fix on a Thursday? Lucky for me, Wide Awake opened a brick and mortar location on Buck Hill road, just across the street. No more waiting for the weekend to get croissants! This is the neighborhood bakery you dream of. They bake daily, have a surprising variety of breads and pastries, and make some decent espresso. Most of their baked goods use sourdough, except for baguettes and a couple of others. They're welcoming, knowledgeable, and are willing to provide recommendations. The new location has parking space, baking paraphernalia and good coffee. Word of advice: They're still a small bakery with high local demand. Additionally, a large portion of their production is devoted to their bread CSA (community supported agriculture) program.
