Cafe Dewitt

One of the most delicious breakfast places in Ithaca. It's located in the hallway of the mall so it's hard to call it quaint. The service quite slow and it takes quite a bit of time to get a table. The egg plates are fantastic and the coffee is good.

While the cafe has table service, you will still have to pay at the register. The restrooms are part of the mall and you will need to ask for the key to get in.

Food was delicious and service was great. Be aware that this inside (basically in a hallway!) So this isn't a cozy spot or a romantic spot, just an efficient and tasty breakfast spot with great house made touches.

I love it here! It's so cute, and fun with a great atmosphere and the staff are so nice. They have a great standard menu and the specials are delicious, most of the ingredients are locally produced and the jams are made in house. The Thom sandwich is one of my favorites, but you can't go wrong. The desserts are amazing, the coffee is good, and they have awesome glutten free and vegan options. The prices are reasonable, and they pay their staff a living wage (according to the menu.) There can be a wait on busier days but it's worth it! I can't recommend it enough.

Food was solid! So many locally sourced ingredients. And very reasonable priced. Staff was so so sweet and helpful, on top of refilling coffee, asking how our food was.

Had a fantastic experience with Ben from CD. I wanted a lunch catered for my brother’s bachelor party and they came through for us.

Ben even went shopping and put together a few special sandwiches that were no longer on the menu.

Fantastic customer service and everything was delicious.

Thank you Ben and the folks at CD!

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.

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.

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.

If you are visiting Ithaca or are looking for a new place to go, stop here! While you wait for seating you can look at the menu or the specials written on the board. Be sure to check their Instagram to see what is new too! The waiters were quick and accommodating. My husband and I do not eat meat and they were quick to make some suggestions for us as an alternative. You can see the chefs making the food in the back as you wait too! The food came out quickly and was fantastic. Their herbed mayo and jam were incredible- even the scrambled eggs alone were scrumptious. The desert was also amazing- we had a strawberry buttercream cake. The piece was huge! The taste was sweet but not overpowering. I could have eaten the buttercream by itself it was so good. Support the local business when you visit! We cannot wait to go back.

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!!!

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.

This is a beautiful breakfast and lunch spot. Greeted and seated quickly and courteously, the food is always delicious! I haven't had a dish I didn't like. Fun to take some friends or go solo. All staff are very friendly, fun to watch the kitchen hard at work too.

Safe during Covid times AND the food is delicious, we ate the Zoe salad, omelette and brioche and all were exquisite.

If you’re in the area I definitely recommend taking a takeout or dining in safely.

Design isn’t very inviting but the food and service are! :)

Food is good, staff is great. Running a restaurant is not easy, being part of the food industry isn’t easy. I go here pretty consistently!

Best breakfast and/or lunch spot. Unique space. Cool staff. Amazing service.

Egg-cellent omelettes! ;) cute atmosphere with very tasty food and great service. Staff was attentive and the locally sourced food made a difference!

Brought my brother in for breakfast. Menu and specials selection made me regret having only the one stomach. Regardless, the biscuits and gravy had all the satisfaction of eating two meals at once, but none of the psychic damage. Feel like if I took a nap right now, I'd awake from a mothlike metamorphosis as something better and more beautiful. 10/10

Also, my brother said his sandwich was good.

They are always friendly and nice to everyone. Food is great too 🙂 i love how they cooked the potato so much.

Some have mentioned you can only pay with cash, I was able to pay with card now.
