Coal Yard Cafe

Great breakfast! Quick service even with how popular it is!

I’m not sure how I feel about this place. This morning, I ordered the falafel and egg dish but asked for no feta due to my dairy-free diet. The dish came with a lot of tzatziki sauce on the bottom and top of the dish, not mentioned on the menu. I requested it to be remade without tzatziki due to not eating dairy, and mentioned that it did not have tzatziki listed on the menu, but when I received my new dish it still had sauce on the bottom. It's disappointing that the menu didn't mention such a common allergen. I couldn't send it back again without feeling horrible for the kitchen staff, so I ended up with a stomachache. Be cautious if you have dietary sensitivities like me.

Food was really good. It’s a bit pricey and you don’t get much for the price. I ordered avocado with my omelette for an up charge and it was less than one quarter of a slice of avocado. I added two additional eggs to my omelette too and it was still shockingly small for a 4 egg omelette. It’s a good place and we enjoyed it.

Great lunch! Look for their daily special. Lines can be long at peak hours, and it can be tough to find a table, but it goes quickly and is worth the wait. In good weather, outdoor seating is comfortable out back.

Very cozy place to enjoy some comfort food, but be sure you avoid rush times. Limited seating and lots of Cornell students.

Excellent food and atmosphere. A must stop when we visit the town of Ithaca and Cornell.

Great staff friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. Food leaves something to be desired.
