Cafe DeWitt opened in 1973 as a small coffee shop for the residents of the then newly repurposed Ithaca High School building. The Cafe is the legacy of William Downing who had the vision to turn an old school building into a lively community of restaurants, stores, offices and apartments. Over the years the Cafe has expanded to offer an extensive breakfast and lunch menu featuring many locally and regionally sourced ingredients that are lovingly prepared by Chef-Owners Denise O’Leary and Benjamin Roach. We are well known for our 3-time Best of Ithaca awarded weekend brunch that is bolstered my many rotating specials.
Cozy restaurant serving sandwiches & other breakfast, brunch & lunch fare in a warm setting.

Great little cafe love the weird little stores in the hall. Had breakfast here, the latte ☕ was very good and the Morning Glory sandwich was delicious very generous amount of bacon . The GF had the french toast she claims it was God tier. A very lovely place will be back.

Great food and friendly service. Eggs, ham, bread and even jam are locally sourced. If you forgot how the real food tastes, do visit this small and unassuming place. You will be pleasantly surprised.

A few months ago I stumbled across this place while shopping and if I hadn’t had a meal just before I would have stopped. I got the chance to come back a week later and since then my brother and I have made it a ritual to come by monthly because it is so good. We live out of town so it is very much worth our commute. The staff is all so friendly and the menu is always full of delicious specials, breakfast, and lunch items. The hardest part is picking what you want to eat since everything is DELICIOUS. I am such a huge fan of this place and it is such a gem to be here in Ithaca. They also have an incredible fish tank along their booth seating that adds to the ambiance. Very happy to have found this place. I have only stopped by for breakfast so far, I’d love to try their lunch menu as it also sounds delectable. Thank you, Cafe Dewitt!!!

Enjoyed our breakfast at Cafe Dewitt. I haven’t been back in about 15 years, and it is still a solid choice for breakfast or lunch. While the service/arrival of food took a bit, it was great to be back and the food was worth the wait! If you are looking for a breakfast or lunch place, I recommend Cafe Dewitt.

Had a delicious brunch with friends on a Sunday morning. Staff was fantastic and attentive. Food was excellent and fast. We had a group six and everything was spot on! I ordered the pecan waffle special. This waffle was wonderful…made with browned butter, topped with chantilly cream, toasted pecans, and drizzled with maple syrup! Yummy! Featured in the photos are items that our table ordered: Waffle Special, Eggs Benedict, and the Omelet Special. Will definitely return! What a gem. FYI – cash or check only.

I live right nearby and love their service and locally-sourced food. Food is good, selection nothing too amazing, but just really solid. Free coffee refills are a plus! It’s no wonder there’s always a huge line during weekends. Staff are friendly, though service is not very fast. Plan for a little extra time to finish up a meal here.

Overpriced food in a run down location. We went there and we were about to walk away but based on reviews decided to give it a chance.

This place is AMAZING! Aside from the fact that you most probably have to wait for a long time during weekends, it’s perfect. The atmosphere is pleasant; crowdy yet cozy. The staffs are very friendly and polite. And of course, the food— It’s so tasty! As expected of a local restaurant working hard to use local products as much as they can. The cranberry sauce I had that day was the most delicious one I have ever had, really! Also, the price is reasonable. I spent 21 USD for the omelette, hot chocolate, and tip. It was absolutely worth it. Money well-spent. This is a kind of restaurant that is capable of warming your heart and makes you want to revisit until you become a regular customer.

Staff wouldn’t believe me when I told them their water tasted like mold. Water filter definitely needs a change. The special I got was pretty tiny for $14 but I might just be basing my prices on those of a couple years ago.
