I make a point of having breakfast at least once a month at Carriage House -- even just the simple plate of toast, eggs, and bacon is to die for. Now that they are on Twitter offering up some coupon codes for buy-one-get-one lunches, I've snuck out at lunch a couple of times too. I've never regretted a meal there,... more

I stopped into the Carriage House early this morning after exercising and a long walk. The kitchen wasn't open yet, but I sat down with a cup of coffee and a delicious blueberry scone just soaking in the atmosphere and reading some of their magazines. Just before 9, more staff began arriving, the morning hustle and bustle began and I... more

Elegant, low-key, fresh, local ingredients, attentive service. One of the three best places in Ithaca. more

My friends and I love this place for coffee, and lunch or dinner here is a special treat. I've heard the Brie French Toast for brunch is out of this world, but I've never quite dared to indulge. Scones are awesome with my favorite expresso, their 'Markatto'. The atmosphere, food, and the staff make this destination worth searching for a... more

Favorite brunch place! more
