    Tens tens tens across the board! Amazing and worth every penny. The best bakery in Ithaca!

    Cheesecake with walnut crust and cherries
    Sandy K.

    My partner brought home a cake for my birthday and it was one of the best cakes I've eaten in my life. And I LOVE cake. I love baking cake. I love eating cake. I have tried SO many cakes. We're not from Ithaca and he went out to get me a cake and chose this bakery at random, unplanned, just because he knew how much I love cake. It was a cheesecake with a thick walnut crust and fresh cherries in syrup on top. To be honest, I have never even liked cherries in any cake or pie because of how artificial it usually tastes. (He chose this one because he came in late in the day, when there weren't that many whole cakes left.) But this was ungodly delicious, with each part of the cake complimenting one another. It was absolute perfection. Not too sweet, not too heavy. It sliced up into perfect triangles. The crust didn't fall apart. It was the perfect end to a great birthday. Thank you, you amazing bakers!

    Had a slice of fruit tart and a cappuccino and it was a good choice. They were both delicious and the service was friendly and quick.

    Best cherry cheesecake ever. I remember it well even though it's been three years since I had it.

    I think Rashida is the best bakery in Ithaca. The chocolate cake and cheesecakes are amazing.

    I had a good experience here for the most part! I went twice during my trip. I enjoyed the gluten…read morefree toast and bagels and got an egg and cheese one day, and a scallion cream cheese and cucumber the next. The coffee is also delicious and didn't even need a flavor added. The man taking our orders the first day was also incredibly kind and you could tell he just enjoyed his job, or at least was happy to be there. There's also a mini shop here basically. There's fresh bread and prepackaged meals here like Shepards pie and fruits and veggies. There also was plenty of cute merch and I left with two designs. Two things that I didn't like. Ordering was a bit chaotic. There are labeled areas that show where to order what, but if it's your first time in it can feel overwhelming and you might be wandering a bit figuring it out. I wish it could all be ordered at one spot, not like it's a food hall. I understand that this probably does work the best for them though and is most likely pretty easy for ordering if you're a local. Lastly, I had an issue with a woman working the second day. They have a big menu and I was looking at it above her head while ordering. She was fine while I was talking, but stopped me when I went to walk away. She said "You know, you really need to face people while you're talking to them." What! So awkward and weird. That's the main reason I took one star off because it caused me not to go back again. Very rude and felt like a mini lecture for no reason.

    We're not local but we've visted before and really enjoyed the stop. Being in the area, frequenting…read morethe State Theatre, and listening to good music we needed morning refreshments and immediately thought "Baked in Ithaca". This visit we got coffee, breakfast sandwiches and various baked goods. The restaurant was busy and hopping with activity on a Sunday morning around 9AM. The parking lot was full but there was street parking around the business. There was also plenty of seating for us to find some room to eat in comfort. You order food at one counter but you pay at the other counter? All food is delivered to the "pay" counter. Service was fast, even with the crowd, the breakfast sandwiches were delicious, the coffee was dark (which we love) and the baked goods didn't last long. We got a cinnamon coffee cake and a loaf of bread that were huge hits. "Baked in Ithaca" - what a slogan!

    Was hesitant with such mixed reviews. But overall glad we went. Service and ambiance were very…read morenice. We started with the local bread with olive oil. Not the best bread I've ever had but pretty good. Also got the patatas bravas which for me was my favorite dish. Super flavorful. We got two dishes the Spring cavatelli and the moosewood burger. The burger was really good but the pasta is where I could see why some people threw around the word bland. I don't want to say it was bad, it just was very light and didn't have a rich flavor like most pasta dishes. We got the matcha panna cotta to go which was also pretty good. Overall I think it just depends on the dish you get but I was fully expecting straight up bland food based on other reviews but that wasn't the case. The cavatelli could use a little work though. Overall it was nice.

    Food is okay. We…read moretried the lasagna and strozzapretti- I wish the pastas were homemade, but at least they were prepared well. Al dente and good flavors. I would eat these again. We also tried the thai curry, burrata, peach salad. The peaches were not ripe, but the crunch was a nice textural component. Burrata and curry were fine. I wish the curry was spicier. I liked the thin ribbons of cucumber in the burrata dish though. Maybe I am being too harsh... I had rather high expectations coming into Moosewood, and the food wasn't bad per se, but nothing really wowed me. I would eat here again, but I wouldn't seek it out.
