I'm a Chatty Cathy addict. Their açaí bowls are amazing and sooooo good. Highly recommend, though pricey (but still pretty standard in terms of pricing, thoughhh). The only downside before getting that delicious bowl is probably the long wait. Thankfully, I have patient friends. If I'm getting my Chatty Cathy's, y'all have to wait. Their açaí bowls are worth every penny and every minute in line. The fresh, vibrant fruits and the perfectly blended açaí are just divine. It's like a little bowl of heaven. I'm convinced they also sprinkle a bit of magic in there because I always leave feeling like I can conquer the world (or at least the rest of my day). A little tip: try adding some granola and honey on top. Trust me, it takes the bowl to a whole new level of deliciousness. And if you're feeling extra fancy, throw in some coconut flakes. You won't regret it! Personally, I love adding protein to mine. Still tastes great while getting that PROTEIN INNNNNN! eeeeeeeeee :) read more

What a great stop! Walking around town and, being National Acai Day, we strolled by to get the Berry Loco bowl and a cappuccino. The bowl was small but filling, fresh and wonderfully cold after climbing the ferocious hill up. The cappuccino was extra hot and tasted strong. Both were delicious! Thank you Taylor!! read more

The shop is located near the Cornell campus and if you blink you'll miss it. I was dying for a smoothie and after reviewing the menu before I went inside, I decided to get one of their bowls made into a smoothie. I do it elsewhere all the time. The girls behind the counter were very sweet but they told me they couldn't do it, something about acai...well, yogurt is one choice as a base so I asked if they could use yogurt and add milk. Nope. So I chose a smoothie from the menu and had them add something extra. It was very good but it was liquid with ice, so not a smoothie at all. Oddest thing ever. The fresh juice I ordered was excellent. If I can make a suggestion to every business owner hiring young people, that suggestion would be to teach them that it's OK to think outside the box. I travel the entire country and no matter where I go, every shop I've asked to turn a bowl into a smoothie can do it, and they do it without hesitation. Again, the girls were wonderful and so was my smoothie and my juice. I just wish I could have had what I really wanted. read more

Cute place right in town! This place has bowls, juice, and coffee! I ordered the Bad and Boujee bowl with açaí and it was outstanding! My husband ordered the Money Moves bowl with oatmeal. He said it was pretty filling and good. His only complaint was that the oatmeal tasted like sugar was added to it. so he said it was a little sweeter than he wanted. Otherwise, he enjoyed it. There is no indoor seating at this time (probably because of COVID), but it's worth going to for breakfast or a mid-day snack! Prices are fair and service is quick. I would come here again and again! read more

Very small place with no seating, but good drinks. My mocha had a strong coffee flavor which was pleasant, and the espresso was decent. Nothing special to comment on, but the playlist was pretty great! read more

Very small shop with great coffee. The Dirty Chai Latte was one of the best lattes I have ever had. Friendly staff and quick service. I will definitely be back to try other coffee drinks. read more

The only healthy and delicious establishment in Collegetown! I got the Dolce & Banana acai bowl which was amazing and came with so much fruit. I've tried their other menu items like their lattes, fresh juices, and smoothies and they all are amazing. They even have other bases for their bowls such as yoghurt and oatmeal (sweetened and unsweetened). I definitely recommend it as a convenient and affordable option if you're on the go! read more

I feel like açaí bowls are a rare commodity in upstate NY, so I always enjoy going to places that serve them. I got the Par-Yay bowl and it was very good. The ingredients were super fresh. Unfortunately, you don't get much bang for your buck here and be prepared to wait awhile. I appreciate that the granola was nut-free as I have food allergies and not many places consider that aspect. read more

I ordered the Breakfast at Tiffany's bowl from Chatty Cathy's today. It took maybe 5 minutes to get my food, and I was the only customer so I was able to order as soon as I arrived! This bowl was very delicious. My only feedback would be to add more granola. Although it was a bit pricey for a parfait, the portion was good and kept me full for awhile. I can see myself coming back in the near future! read more

I'm in town for a wedding and I don't want anything heavy. It's humid out and we're heading to the grand event in the late afternoon, so I look for healthy options. I settled for Chatty Cathy. Walking in, it's super cute but tiny! There's a handful of seats, so why the vibe makes you want to stay, the lack of seats makes it more of a grab and go. I walk up to the counter. The person working says nothing and stands there waiting for me. A bit strange. I order a detoxified. The carrot and ginger ingredients win me over. I stood and wait. He kindly calls my order and thanks me (strange from earlier no comment encounter). I take a sip. Perfect! Creamy and rich, love the hint of ginger. It hydrates me for the day and keeps me full until dinner. read more

Wow, the açaí bowls here truly taste like the fancy ones I get from Manhattan. It's such a treat whenever I make the trip up to Ithaca for one of these bowls. My two girlfriends and I spent the morning hiking and then treated ourselves to bowls afterwards. I got the Miami bowl and my two friends got the money moved bowl. Each of our bowls was made with the açaí base; however, they do also offer oatmeal and greek yogurt as a base option! The açaí is not the sugary and diluted kind like at sobol or other açaí joints...this was truly the real deal!!! Also, they do NOT skimp on the toppings! read more

I'd never had an acai bowl before and this place has definitely left me craving them now! I ordered the Bad and Buggy and o.m.g is it delicious. For any PB fans, this definitely hits the spot! Perfect blend of ingredients and the proportion was big. I was in the area for work for a month and now I would almost drive to Ithaca just for another acai bowl Definitely recommend their bowls. The coffee was just okay.... read more

AMAZING ACAI BOWLS! Much better than other acai bowls nearby (from places I shall not name )

Came in for an açaí bowl and a latte - I would not recommend getting a plain latte with almond milk as I did because it was like drinking pure sugar. I don't understand why lattes are made this way, it's just milk and coffee, no sugar. Açaí bowl was fresh and good, and unlike the coffee, the granola wasn't too sweet. Was grateful for this. That I would recommend. Just stay away from coffee beverages. read more

super yummy açaí bowl. versatile menu. not a lot of seating. great service and atmosphere

One of the most disappointing customer service. The girl were so rude. She was rolling her eyes all the time we try to ask her for cut or water. No water is provided with espresso. No tables , No ceramic cups for coffee even they were behind here Back. She just were not into a mood to do her job. We felt not belong to the space. read more

I don't know how this place got great reviews lol I'm generally confused. The juice was water down and pale. Maybe the produce they use wasn't fresh. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Please save your money lol read more

Came here 2 days in a row. Breakfast at Tiffany's bowl was decent and the young woman who helped me was very sweet. The second time I literally ended up having to hold the door open for 2 fedex dudes and a woman who works here. I am fine with holding doors open for people but they did not even acknowledge let alone greet me. The only conclusion I can come to is that they are racist. I regret coming in and buying something despite being complete ignored. I tried the detoxified, which was as good as you can imagine carrots and celery are when blended together. The young woman (different from who ignored me) who served me also was not friendly either. 5 stars for the lady who helped me the first time I went - and the reason I returned. 0 for the two women the following day. Will never return. read more

The drinks were good but the prices are high. This might be a place that I'd only go to once in a while if I want to splurge on a smoothie.

Decent iced mocha. Very small place. Not overly friendly staff. Very slow service. Had to wait outside after we ordered due to Covid which was not a problem but it then took forever to get our drinks and someone went in after us and came out with their drink right away. read more

I came there twice. The Acai bowl was great. We ordered granola with fruits and yogurt. It says "greek yoghurt" but it turned out to be a vanilla yoghurt. No so much healthy... so I would advice them to use plain, unsweetened yoghurt. The coffee was terrible in my case. Probably not all the stuff knows how to prepare an espresso drink. read more

Excellent and fast - stopped in to order an acai bowl and a yogurt bowl. Fresh, fast, and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Such great açaí bowls. I haven't gotten anything else from here, but if it all lives up to the açaí bowls then I'm sure everything is fantastic. read more

Cute little spot in collegetown. We're talking tiny, but more cozy than cramped and it actually works for the type of place it is. I got a detoxify juice which was fresh pressed and quality whole ingredients and it had a nice zip from the fresh ginger! (not some bullshit where they give you 75% Welch's juice blended with 5 spinach leaves and a banana and try to call it a fresh juice) I also got a Bad and Boujee smoothie bowl with peanut butter instead of chocolate. I wish they used natural peanut butter, but I liked the bowl overall. I am particular about an Açai base in smoothie bowls because, it's like 80% of what an Açai bowl is. You can tell when a business really doesn't give a shit about their product when their Açai base is tasteless and is just freezer-burnt fruit tossed into a vitamix with water. Chatty Cathy's got it right, the base tastes good and is a good platform to build different variations off of. Nice job! read more

I've tried their smoothies, juices, and coffee, and they're all great! I explained my jaw is currently wired shut and asked if the smoothie I was ordering had any chunks in it, and though the barista assured me it would all go through a straw, she told the other barista to blend everything extra. Very appreciated! read more

Oh my gosh, I haven't had an acai bowl since moving from Socal last semester, and the Par-Yay bowl really hit the spot! The portion was not that generous for a pretty high price, but there's no competition in Ithaca! The only problem I had was that even after eating some, I had a literal golf-ball size of peanut butter in my bowl. Honestly though, the rest was so satisfying I wasn't too upset. read more

The Acai bowl was great. Fruits are fresh. Problem with the "granola and greek yogurt". You expect it to be plain but in fact it is sweetest and that ruin this dish. The Cappuccino is sometime good sometime awful (we ordered on 3 occasions) read more

I love Chatty Cathy! This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Ithaca. The owners are very friendly and I love the ambiance. It's beautifully decorated and a great place to do work or hang out with friends. The coffee is great, the smoothies are amazing, and I also love the fact that they serve açai bowls! Would recommend to anyone! read more

I kept coming back to this bright, cozy nook - the atmosphere is relaxed and it's a great place to catch up on emails on a Sunday afternoon (if you can find a spot to sit). The space itself is tiny - only seats about 7-9 people. The coffee, smoothies, and breakfast bowls are generally good, albeit a bit overpriced for Ithaca, in my opinion. read more

After a very refreshing visit at the next doors establishment of Ithaca Wine & Spirits, I decided to try out this new and cute addition to our wonderful Eddy street. Once I got in I was greeted with a smile by Milany and from that point on I knew I was at a familiar place. Since I am very particular with my coffee drinking, I have very specific demands on the tiniest drop of milk on my cortado and here they did it absolutely right and on top of that didn'y make me feel like an alien for having such specific demands for the most important beverage of the day. Because a perfect cortado should taste like life, an ideal balance between the white and the brown moments. White and optimistic but also brown and challenging like the bitterness of a good espresso. read more

Absolutely love this place! I discovered their açaí bowls and was thrilled to find a place to enjoy my favorite breakfast (along with some proper Italian coffee) in Ithaca. If you've not stopped in, you had better make your way as you are missing out! #mahalo read more

The aesthetics, drinks (smoothies particularly), and customer service all make for an experience worth having. Great intimate and cozy set up that really captures your artsy, good vibes, NYC coffee shop. Smoothies are made fresh (like actually whole fruits blended in front of you) and taste just as good, if not better, than all them artificial ones people enjoy. Give it a try & get chatty with cathy! read more

Cute little shop near Cornell University. They offer multiple healthy drinks as well they make you customized your drinks. The reason that i am giving this place 4 stars is that i think their drinks are semi over priced. I would definetly would come here constantly if the drinks were lower in price, but overall cute shop and the drinks are refreshing. read more

I love açaí bowls and this place didn't disappoint! Dropped a star because I wish the size was bigger. But overall really fresh ingredients, cute decor and atmosphere, friendly knowledgeable staff, and fair prices. The coffee menu was bigger than I expected! It took me a while to decide between so many choices! I can't wait to try something new here when I come back! read more

Found this College Town Coffee gem thru Yelp, and so pumped I did! When you walk in you are instantly happy, with the bright stripe colored wallpaper, orange comfy bench seats & sparkling chandelier above you. The barista greeted us with a smile and a good morning, which is quite a rarity in Ithaca coffee shops. Our coffees were delicious, not bitter as most coffee shops in the area are. If you are looking for a cute local place to enjoy your morning cup of joe then look no further and check this place out. read more
