Gimme Goers, a loving reminder to bring your own mug! Let’s stop drinking coffee out of irreverent paper cups (gimme’s good coffee deserves better), which too-quickly cool your brew, and then go to land fills after one use…

I order Gimmie! coffee home to MD and I stop in to get it when in town. I enjoy the varieties and the staff is always kind.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options

Great place for a to-go drink. Their matcha latte is great—many places have sub-par matcha so this is exciting! Very little indoor seating, but lots of outdoor seating for warm weather. I have taken a friend here and then walked to Ithaca Falls many a time.

I want to preface this review by saying that I used to be a barista at a very busy café, and I was trained by a gimme coffee barista so this isn’t coming out of left field.I want to start off by saying that the drinks, at gimme coffee are absolutely superb save for one. They have really good quality control. They weigh out the espresso that goes in the shots. They have a rigorous training program for their barista. They have real macchiatos.That being said, I have been coming to this coffee shop for nearly 15 years and nine times out of 10 I choose to go someplace else these days and that’s a very nearly universal experience with both my friends and family. They choose other coffee shops, and the reason is because they are so slow. Granted they are very busy and they do take control seriously however it’s out of hand. There are probably a dozen things that they could do to speed it up. However, my biggest issue is that I’ve been all over the world and I’ve never, never seen a service business run with less urgency. I have worked as a barista, busser, and server in more than one city. The laissez faire attitude of the employees is so infuriating. It seems like they could care less when you’re drinking out. It’s like watching the sloths at the DMV in Zootopia. I watched one of the braces take two minutes to weigh out the shop. How do I know that it took two minutes because I timed it and her manager was standing right there and didn’t say anything. If you can’t talk and work quickly then you need to stop talking. It’s feels like the business is resting on their past laurels and doesn’t really care anymore. Which is a huge shame for a coffee shop that could be great, but now is not worth the wait at all.One last thing don’t get their mocha you’re going to be disappointed. It’s the only drink on the menu that isn’t good.

Someone got me the coffee while I waited in the car but no compliant about service or anything. I can tell you that this coffee was very good. I plan to order some online.

Got a morning hot Cappuccino in the local which was decent ok. A bit sweet to me tho I didn't put any sugar. No complaints as it's kinda personal taste. It's a pretty cute spot at the corner.

Fantastic coffee though the pastry selection was a bit small. All in all I enjoyed this corner shop but would have loved for more pastries and longer hours. And yes, it’s still a must to return to!

I stopped in at Gimme! Coffee after a short walk from the Hilton Garden Inn. The barista is well-trained and pulled a perfect shot for my Americano. They had an excellent selection of pastries that looked tasty. There is seating outside and inside. I would definitely recommend Gimme! Coffee!!
