Cornell UniversitySeptember 10, 2012The best brunch in Ithaca as voted by the Cornell Daily Sun. Expect a line for brunch on the weekend, but it will be well worth the wait! Read more
MikaOctober 27, 2016Great brunch! There's always a long wait but they have a coffee shop-esque space upstairs where you can work and wait.
Simon KratzerJanuary 30, 2017Prepare on waiting 1h for your table, they have a nice waiting room upstairs though. I love their bread.
KEMarch 12, 2017Great coffee, friendly, country ambiance. For breakfast, get there early (it opens at 9am and is busy from then!) check the event schedule upstairs; they have fantastic shows. Parking can be tough.
Amanda LeeJune 2, 2013We went here for brunch and loved it! Sorbet mimosas were fantastic. Try the cantaloupe sorbet mimosa with a splash of cran apple juice! Brie stuffed French toast and steak Sammy were good too!
Aadil BhattiSeptember 27, 2017There’s a decent wait but they let you order coffee and sit outside, so it goes by quickly (25 min for us). Had an amazing veggie omelette and a spicy hot chocolate.
Ghadeer AlataaDecember 2, 2018This place is amazing!! I love the stuffed french toast and their vanilla latte, coming again for sure! And for more ❤️
Come here for the brie stuffed French toast. Their french rolled omelet of the day is always delicious too. Hard to go wrong.
Brie-stuffed French toast 🍞, a cappuccino ☕️, and a large side of home fries (with house-made ginger ketchup) to share (or not share) 😋
Melody MillerJuly 1, 2013Some of the best pancakes I've ever had--light and fluffy. Blueberry and apple toping. Not cheap, but worth it. In summers, less crowded. No line.
Leslie F.July 31, 2011Best bacon anywhere! The simple 2-2-2 breakfast is delicious - PERFECT eggs! Don't miss the French Toast stuffed with almond paste frangipane - it was a special and the stuff of dreams.
14850 DiningJune 28, 2013The Carriage House Burger is a handmade burger made with local grass-fed beef, topped with grilled onions, sundried tomato puree, cheddar, and BBQ mayo on ciabatta.
Phil AdamsJuly 24, 2015Love that you can wait for your table upstairs. Comfortable chairs and well-prepared coffee awaits.
Alexa SternSeptember 9, 2017The stuffed French toast is good but share w/ someone bc it's very sweet. Rabbit sausage and home fries with homemade ketchup are delish!
Clarence LSeptember 28, 2014Had the pancakes, banh mi with home fries, and breakfast sandwich. Would get the banh mi and breakfast sandwich again but the other items were so so.
Erik MichielsenOctober 4, 2016Breakfasts are amazing. Trust their specials, order the bacon, get a scone.
Jake DanielJanuary 28, 2010Freshest, most delicious brunch in town (hell, in the state). And as good as everything else is, the burger is in a class by itself. Don't fiddle with it, just accept it as is and embrace perfection. Read more
Elisa ThundersJune 27, 2015The specials are always great. Also, soy vanilla latte- the best in town.
Harvey SimmonsSeptember 24, 2016Order the thick cut bacon from the BLT as a side instead of the listed bacon.
Best brunch so far in Ithaca with local ingredients and antique interior.
Susan WooMarch 25, 2014The French Toast is very plain. But the pork belly with curry and kale is awesome
Zachary SweetDecember 4, 2011Get the salmon platter! Ask for goat cheese instead of Brie. Fabulous! Get your free coffee product at your first visit.
Casey KnappDecember 11, 2011Relaxing atmosphere. Friendly service and AMAZING breakfast and coffee. Will def come here again
Beth RosenAugust 28, 2011Love the Sunday vibe my latte was wonderful, looking forward to my Brie-Stuffed French Toast
Sigrid BuchbinderOctober 9, 2010Order either the sconewich or the french toast. The french toast come with a blueberry like dressing. Both plates were DELICIOUS!
If you happen to see the rabbit pâté on the menu, it's worth ordering more than one.
RachelJune 22, 2014The food was great, but the service left a lot to be desired. I understand that we were there for Sunday brunch, but our server wasn't very personable and our meal felt so rushed.- Jenna Odett LaskinApril 19, 2010best brunch i've ever had. brie french toast. killer coffee. expect to wait an hour on a saturday or sunday.
Catarina SchallenbachJanuary 29, 2017Gave carriage house a second chance, but still didn't like it. The veggie plate was super cold (some veggies were almost frozen). Again, It was not worth the price..
have the reuben! you could even split it with a friend or save half for later. comes with a salad and kettle chips.
Connie QNovember 12, 2012The brioche French toast is the greatest thing ever. The 45 minute wait is not.
