Café Jennie

Thai chicken wrap is on point, and the Americanos here are the best BRBs can buy on campus.

This neat little café is conveniently located inside the Cornell Store. It has a variety of sandwiches and pastries and serves Peet’s Coffee. I love their Matcha Green Tea Javiva. It’s kind of like slushy green tea ice cream smoothie. This place is usually packed throughout the day especially during lunch. Lots of students like studying here so it might be difficult to find a good seat. However, this is a great place to go if you want to chat with someone. I met up with a professor here for coffee one afternoon and it was great!

Green tea latte and macrons are good. Never get their sandwiches tho… People get sick from it according to what I heard

Stopped in for lunch during our college visit Cornell day. Convenient location on the bookstore for those needing to get to the next activity. Nice food selection.
My son ordered a large bowl of the clam chowder for just $ 3.99 — a deal! I scored a taste and it was terrific. A great bowl of clam chowder; I kind of wish I’d ordered it, too!
I ordered the Brazilian Chicken wrap. Tasty and satisfying. My only complaint was the spring mix of lettuce in the wrap didn’t cut/​separate well when I bit into the wrap making for less graceful eating. ;-) Insignificant overall. They had a nice fresh fruit salad as well which we split in addition to our meal.
Seating is limited. It was a crowded weekend and we were lucky to snag a table.

This is high quality for Cornell’s campus, and may be the best eatery on its grounds. Sandwiches are relatively creative in composition and actually served to your table. It may be the only place that serves Peet’s coffee in Ithaca, which is delicious (while the local roasteries are good, it’s hard not to welcome the variety). The atmosphere is fairly cozy and there are books and magazines available to browse from the surrounding Cornell Store. Downsides: it is a bit pricey compared to other Cornell dining options, and I get the sense that the sandwiches aren’t as good as they seemed when I first tried them — though that may just be me getting used to the taste.

The best coffee I’ve had in Ithaca! It’s a shame I discovered it a month before I graduated!
Definitely get their chai latte it’s one of the few places that gets it right!

It is above my expectation.
I had an illusion that I was not sitting in a campus café, with an amicable server taking to me my Beef Brisket Sandwich on a porcelain plate with real silverwares.
They make their sandwich so exquisite. Bread is very special, crisp on the outer side, soft and punky on the inner side, milk/​cream sweet scented, different from what I have had in other cafés, making me believe it is fresh handmade in store this morning. (They did claim to bake their jam filled croissants every morning in store.) Beef is tender, seasoned with grilled onion and cheddar. Sided with carefully laid garden green, onion and blue cheese. We all know blue cheese and beef are good match.
I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but the first-​date couple at next table were so cute. ^_​^ At least now I know American look the same as Chinese on their first date. The boy said this place was 30% overpriced, which I cannot agree. Can you find a more pleasant and economic place for you very first date?
$ 7 for a sandwich.
