tavers
A convenient location on campus for a coffee fix. Generally has long wait lines, especially after the lectures finish. The coffee isn’t the best. The drip coffee tasted burnt 2/3 times, latte didn’t taste that good for 6 dollars. Matcha was decent. Croissant lacked the layered pastry texture, being more dense and chewy rather than light and flaky.
They have a wide range of gimme coffee beans, brewers, merch, and a selection of grab an go refrigerated drinks, yogurt cups, energy bars and chocolates.
Unfortunately I feel the place is understaffed, and they need larger area to keep up with the demand. Most times I found the barista taking orders to be tired and overwhelmed. I hope they can improve the workspace and staff to deliver consistent and better quality.

It is kind of super over priced (especially the pastries) but the employees are awesome! They get swamped and there’s a little bit of a wait at peak students-in-Gates hours but they do an awesome job regardless.

Gimme always makes a great cappuccino uning their own perfectly roasted “leftist” beans blend. I walk a mile to one of their sites a couple of days per week to break up my workdays.

Always a solid spot on campus for some coffee. Wish they warmed up the cookie tho

This is a good coffee shop but I wish they had sugar free flavors.

Gimme is the best you can get in ITH – an institution that almost completely replaced Starbucks. If you lucky you will get a decent barrister… Beans are medium to dark roast – don’t expect anything special – it is good enough.

This coffee shop ENCOURAGES customers to be more environmentally responsible by giving people discount when they bring their own mugs! So far, this is a very rare and precious practice in Ithaca, and I highly recommend people to go buy coffee at Gimme to support this practice (and its coffee is great

Great great coffee! Always great coffee! My only gripe is it is over priced. If you are into coffee that is great but has a backstory like “War and Peace” and your paying for that coffee’s backstory then this is the place for you!

Good coffee, they have options of dark and medium roast that are pretty good. They also have good pastries. It would have been nice if they have a larger selection of coffees, like pour over. Also it would have been nice if they had a selection of hot foods to offer.

I’m not a coffee person, but their baked goods are yummy. My favorite is the orange cinnamon roll. It’s like a croissant and a cinnamon roll had a baby of epic yum. I’m charged inconsistent prices tho when ordering a 12oz glass of skim milk.
