What are the better lunch spots on campus, the vegetarian sandwiches are particularly good. Unfortunately they no longer do the half and half soup and salad special, which was probably my favorite reason to go there. The line can get pretty long during the semester, so time your visit appropriately.Vegetarian options: Some of the better vegetarian options on campus.

A hidden gem on Cornell’s campus. Soups, sandwiches and Mac n cheese are all made from scratch. Personally I love there Gazpacho, it’s incredibly delicious!The staff and atmosphere is casual and friendly. The design of the cafe also give this place a unique setting on campus.

Tasty sandwiches here (we live the egg salad). Not classic sub style though. Over priced.

An almond croissant and a caramel latte are my favorite way to start the day. A hidden gem ( although it is definitely well known among the students; as a local who was born and raised in Ithaca it took me 40 years to discover this campus cafe), daily soups made from scratch, all the chocolate, caramel, vanilla syrup, Chai, and sandwiches are made from scratch. And with a small staff and mostly student workers, the atmosphere is friendly and casual. Staff will remember you if you are a regular and go out of their way to make sure you get your order quickly and perfectly made. Be prepared for a chaotic scramble if you try to go while students are between classes, and lines can get ridiculously long. But if you can time it right, they are very quick. Definitely recommend. Plus on a nice day the Arts quad is right outside with seating and a breathtaking view. (And the main barista is awesome, kind and friendly. ?).

The soups here are divine. The Mac and cheese is addictive. Just go enjoy the wonderful creations of Choklay, she works food magic!

The chai actually tastes like chai. Food is actually very delicious, but they run out of things a bit too often

Michael Bashta

The food feels very real and healthier, compared to some of the other on-campus lunch options. The prices are generally reasonable

Felix Hensling

Highly recommend their Roastbeef. Miss them dearly these days.

Order the corn soup today. 4 dollars. The taste is not bad. There are so many Koreans here.

Love the roast beef sandwich with mustard and all of the vegetables! Very fresh and it comes with a salty sour pickle. They have different soups every day (or couple of days), but make sure you stop by if they're selling mac and cheese. If you can, bring your own container for soup because it'll save a little money. They have a small baked goods section and also sell coffee. Midday the line gets very long, so plan ahead. Awesome little spot especially for those already on campus!

The good here is really good, very healthy options. Very different from the University run food choices on campus.

Andrea Dietrich

Richa Sardana

The best soup in town!

Ana Cristina Barsallo

The only place on campus that makes their own soups daily. Great service and great taste.
