The Cornell Store on the Ithaca Commons is a downtown branch of the official Cornell University store, open every day. Customers describe it as a "really chill" place with a decent selection of Cornell-branded items, including ice cream, clothing, and blankets. The ice cream is known for being thick, creamy, and fulfilling, made from manually milked cows. While the prices are a bit high due to the Cornell branding, the quality of the products is generally good. The staff is friendly, though one customer noted a concerning issue with a large hole in the ceiling that had apparently been there for months. Overall, the Cornell Store offers a convenient way for locals and visitors to show their Cornell spirit and purchase a variety of university-themed merchandise.
Love the downtown location! So easy to get to, free street parking, a great variety of merchandise, sales associates are knowledge and helpful. I will be back!
