The warm weather has returned, and so has our popular Affogato 💛

The Waterfront Cafe sits right along one of Ithaca’s most beautiful pathways, the Waterfront Trail, a 5.5-mile flat, paved loop that winds along Cayuga Inlet and through some of Ithaca's most scenic public spaces. 🌿🚶‍♀️🚴

This beloved trail is cared for through the City of Ithaca with support from the Friends of Stewart Park, and its vibrant gardens are lovingly planted and maintained by the Beautification Brigade through Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Community Beautification Program. Their work brings color, life, and seasonal beauty to key entry points along the trail and throughout Tompkins County.

With the trail right behind our building, The Waterfront Cafe is the perfect place to begin your walk, pause mid-route, or finish with something refreshing and restorative. Whether you’re heading out for a stroll, a run, or a bike ride, we’re here to be part of your rhythm along the water. 💛

Stop in before or after your time on the trail. We’d love to see you!

05/20/2026

After a stretch of warm weather, today’s cooler temperatures make it the perfect day to slow down with a hot latte, tea, or your favorite cozy drink by the water. Prefer something refreshing? We’ve got plenty of cold drinks and seasonal specials to enjoy too.

Whether you're visiting the Cayuga Wellness Center for sports medicine, physical therapy, a group fitness class, a spa day at Rasa, or simply passing through Ithaca's West End, the Waterfront Cafe is open to all, a welcoming place for fresh coffee, light meals, conversation, or a quiet moment to yourself.

Settle into our cozy indoor seating to catch up with friends or answer a few emails, or step outside to the patio overlooking the Cayuga Inlet and enjoy the changing rhythm of an Ithaca spring.

05/12/2026

Stop by the Waterfront Cafe this month for our May drink specials, or try all three! The White Lavender Latte is soft, floral, and lightly sweetened, blending smooth espresso with steamed milk, white chocolate, and a hint of lavender for a cozy, feel-good drink to enjoy on the patio or along the waterfront.

The perfect stop after a walk on the Waterfront Trail or a visit to the Children’s Garden!
