“I come to Ithaca about 3 times a year and I love this place. I come here every time when I am in need of staples. It has everything you could want and spectacular selection of very good local beers, along with some ready to eat Pizza in a pinch. And not to hate, but it's a much, MUCH less stressful experience than being at the 7/11 across the street. Plus, you get an added benefit of helping out a small business and buying stuff from a cute store. Head to the Ithaca Mini Mart instead, it's a win/win!”

“If you need gas, this place has it! I'm not really how to write a review about this other than... I needed gas, and when I pulled in here, they had and let me pay them for it!”

“I'm not much for leaving reviews online , but my experience with Josh today was beyond exceptional ! When I arrived at the register he asked if I found everything okay , and after I told him I did not , he asked me why . After I explained what I was really looking for , he offered really great alternate suggestions and I happened to leave the store MORE than satisfied !After he rang my things up he offered me a rewards card and I said I didn't want one .After he rang me up he helped me bring my things to my car! I had a lot of stuff!So i told him I decided to get a rewards card because with service like that, I will be coming back !he explained the specs of the card so well in a way that was understandible and not overwhelming . such fantastic service !My visit there exceeded my expectations !”

“Got this delivered considering the covid. First time trying this place and it's not bad. Chicken are very crispy and juicy, and still very hot when I received them. However the chicken are a bit salty for me, and I'd say it's more salty than Popeyes or KFC. The waffle fries are a must try tho! Will order from this place again.”

“I was in yesterday morning, and I just want to leave a note saying that the kid who helped me is awesome. They were out of what I wanted, he suggested an alternative that I wasn't completely sold on, but I trusted him, and I'm glad I did!!! Thanks buddy!!!!”

“Wasn't very bright on the inside, Pizza is best I've had for city pie in a long time. The bathroom is gross and doesnt stay cleaned. They however do have a decent selection of products, its a bit cramped, overall worth stopping in.”
122 N Aurora St, Ithaca NY 14850
“Good little store. I go there a lot. The cashiers could be more friendly. I think the guy who usually waits on me doesn’t like me. He hasn’t smiled at me even once the whole time I have gone there. Good popcorn. Nice selection of sugar cereal. Not bad prices for a convenient store.”

“Sarah over the phone was super nice and walked me through how to send in pictures to have them printed. She made a good recommendation as well based off of her experience. Thanks Sarah!”

“The woman who rang me out was an absolute gem of a human being, genuinely. I was cold, in a horrible mood, had just gotten done with errands and being spoken to like a child- so this genuinely kindly cashier being just authentically nice to me really helped cheer me up. I got a couple slices of pepperoni, a coffee, and a couple of drinks. The pizza was hot and cheesy, and frankly really good quality for gas station pizza. The coffee was coffee, sweet, hot, warming. Nothing special, but certainly more than you'd expect from a gas station. I'm genuinely glad I stopped here.”

“Beat Necessities is a convenience store in Cornell's North Campus with an attached mini-restaurant. Expect snacks, candy, fountain drinks, and pre-made sushi/salads/turkey clubs for the convenience store part. The grill has all the mainstays: chicken tenders, burgers, onion rings, fries, and sandwiches. The food from the grill is generally better than the dining halls, but students should be aware that meal plan swipes do not work (you will have to use Big Red Bucks). For those not on a Cornell meal plan, there are cheaper and better options off of the campus. If you don't want to go far (or if it's 1 am), then Bear Necesseties will be your best bet.”

“Closest place to get your flu shot as well as prescriptions and other medicines. They even have a grocery isle. Very reliable place mainly to stop by before the work day starts or after it ends.”

“Friendly cashier I was able to go and get my coffee get out coffee was fresh the bathrooms are clean does a quick stop along the way back to my hotel from buttermilk falls”

“Amazing spot. Lovely little market with a bunch of self-serve fro-yo machines plus toppings! And they use Chobani yogurt which means it's fair trade!! Great person behind the counter too.”

“Whenever I visit my brother who goes to Cornell, I always make sure to stop by this 7/11 to get some cold sandwiches before I head back to the city. They have a side variety of food and snack options and their restrooms are very clean. The lines are occasionally big at night but I am always pleased with my visits here. Overall, a solid 7-Eleven.”

“Good service. Drive through. Is convenient. They checked my blood pressure. They give shots. Their grocery selection is somewhat limited, but if you want groceries, go to a grocery store!”
214 North Meadow Street, Ithaca NY 14850
“This is the one and only gas station I go to in town. Its member card saves you 10c per gallon and gives you 10% off everything in the convenient store. The savings are great for an Uber driver like me and the discount on snacks for my riders is a bonus.”
40 Catherwood Road, Ithaca NY 14850
“The location of this pharmacy is not good. It is necessary to walk through the whole Target store to get to it. People picking up meds are doing it because they have a health issue, especially difficult for the elderly. A direct door into that location could easily be done. CVS should do it.”
210 South Cayuga Street, Ithaca NY 14850
“The staff here seemed very friendly and hard-working. There was a huge wave of customers when I went in and only 1 person manning the cashier spot and restocking. It felt like some of the customers were stealing from the store too.”
600 North Fulton Street, Ithaca NY 14850
“This store has improved immensely in the past year. Most of the staff is hard working, friendly and knowledgeable. Bathrooms are clean and the pizza is pretty good, especially considering it's a gas station. Especially on Thursday when you can get an entire pizza for $8 and change. It's obvious the workers take pride in their work and their customer service.”
301 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca NY 14850
“If you need gas this place has it! I'm pretty sure they have diesel too! I know prices are high because our current administration sucks, but if you need gas... This place has it!”
805 West Buffalo Street, Ithaca NY 14850
“I come here on occasion, and I'm always greeted with a smile! Today Melissa took care of ringing me up, and I couldn't be happier with the customer service. Clean establishment, well-stocked, and incredibly kind staff. Thanks so much!”
330 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca NY 14850
“Excellent place! Rarely is it ever crowded and it is always stocked well. Friendly, welcoming employees. An efficient, speedy checkout process. A clean, neat store. The only problem is that it does not contain any restrooms. But on the whole, highly recommended!”

“The most incredibly wonderful people work in the pharmacy here. Whatever Walgreens is paying them is not nearly enough. I had a death in the family that turned my world upside down this week and required me to book an emergency flight out of NYS last minute on the same day my meds were set to be refilled, after 90 days since my last refill. The pharmacist was very kind, supportive and knowledgeable. He offered me options to ensure I wouldn’t have to go without my meds while traveling and helped me coordinate with my doctor to make sure I was covered. (The thin blonde cute guy with glasses) I have also had numerous interactions with the young funny pharmacy tech who works the register (early 20s, has an afro and good sense of humor). I can always count on him to answer any of my questions for OTC meds and to overall have amazing personal skills and keep funny banter while he’s ringing me out. There are a couple other girls (likely in their 30s) who work in the pharmacy that have helped me select nicotine patches while quitting vaping or have rang me out through the window in the drive thru… they’re all always nice and friendly. I was on here to see the pharmacy hours earlier today and saw some negative reviews and it left me confused. These people work hard, barely get breaks and are on their feet all day long. They deserve a good shout out! (And a raise) Thank you, meadow street Walgreens team!!”

“Typical CVS. CVS is one of our reliable go-to stores, particularly while traveling. We use our CVS at home too. The stores are typically clean and bright. My experience with staff is that they are helpful and polite, I couldn't ask for more. Keep an eye on the specials and compare national with store brands, best way to save money at CVS. The store brand items are very good quality.”
