“Great locally owned shop selling a variety of new and antique items from local vendors. It's always fun to look around, you never know what you'll find.”
“Great place to stop by and pick up an odds and ends you need to finish off your meal prep. But my favorite thing is to skip the meal prep all together and order a pizza from them. Always hits the spot.”
“Shopping as Trader Joe’s is a joyous experience :) They have high quality food with reasonable prices. I love the flower section and the frozen dish section. Their frozen dishes are just delicious and convenient. Trader Joe’s cheddar cheese and salami are my favorites. The staff are well trained, knowledgeable of their products, and very polite. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Hope that others will have great experience shopping here too. :)”
“You don't need to belong to a coop to buy at this store (though if you belong, you get a discount). There are three branches of Green Star in Ithaca; this branch is Whole-Foods-size, with a large assortment of health-food-store choices.”
11AM - 7PM
374 Elmira Rd, Ithaca“Best selection of Asian supermarket goods for some of the best prices in Ithaca. I would actually recommend going here before going to any other Asian market/store in the area. The owners are friendly and may even give you solid cooking advice (ex. once I went to get premade tapioca dessert and I was advised on how to make it from scratch myself so that I could pay less in the long run).”
“Great local grocery store with tons of local dairy products. Fresh produce and meat sections. I enjoy this store every time I visitIt is clean and well stocked / organized.”
“This place is great. Slightly more expensive than the likes of 7-11 and Walmart, but I think it's worth it knowing that you're supporting a local worker cooperative. I've been a member for a few months, and it's very nice. You get discounts sent to your email all the time, and bulk items are discounted heavily every week. Plus, you get a portion of the profit back every year as a member.”
“The staff is 6 stars, often going the xtra mile and a half to answer our needs n concerns. Customer service alone, plus membership benefits, puts Green* above n beyond regular for-profit grocery stores.Lets call it GREENSTARZ.”

505 3rd St, Ithaca“A reasonably priced market with some high standards for their in house brand items. Almost European standards for candy, cheeses, dairy, and produce. Not every imaginable variety but great value.”

2309 N Triphammer Rd, Ithaca“A go-to grocery store to save money. Selection not as broad as larger supermarkets, but great deals, limited finds, and many imported foods that change with the seasons.”
“The best microbar in town. Head to the back in the afternoon for a draft, get a bowl of popcorn, and enjoy their prosciutto panini. Extremely tasty and a great place to have a casual meeting.”
“Got to this little grocery before it closes for the semester. Small-scale but got very fresh local produce. Price is also significantly cheaper than the bigger grocery store in college town.”
“Very friendly and welcoming. Good food, good coffee, good beer on tap, and a good shop for essentials. Can't wait to come by to hear the live music one of these days.”
6:30AM - 9PM
40 Graham Rd W, Ithaca“From the start, this is a club member business with gas discounts and bulk items sold at whole sale. Overall this is on the competitive level of prices offered like Aldis with the quality of Wegmans. To note, no one of the three are better then the other but each can out shine the other in certain categories. What I'm particular about is the better cost efficiency for shredded cheese and frozen fruit they offer.”
8:30AM - 6PM
500 S Meadow St, Ithaca“Note: Yelp doesn't do .5 star increments. The only reason I'd give Wegmans 4.5 stars is because of prices, but if you're smart with what you buy you won't break your budget. Before I discovered Asia Cuisine's nigiri, I'd go to Wegmans to fulfill my sushi cravings when I'm in Ithaca. Anything Wegmans brand almost always tastes immaculate. There's a reason why so many stores study Wegmans as their inspo for their own store layout.”
“Extremely extra friendly and caring staff (Hi Penny! Hi Tina!) and SUPER FAST on filling new prescriptions and refills. I like the text notifications to let me know my order is ready. They are great about proactively handling insurance issues (so I don't have to!) and have helped me a couple of times when I had to pay out of pocket -- to make sure I paid the lowest price possible. I have been a customer for about 20 years so the staff know me pretty well and we have a good rapport -- but honestly they treat everyone just as good. Wouldn't even think about going anywhere else!”

40 Catherwood Rd, Ithaca“This Target is kind of great. It’s easily accessible and large enough to have a wide variety of options. It’s a one floor target, so it is obviously missing a few sections that, say a two floor target would have. When visited with the mobile app accompanying you, it’s a good experience. The employees are nice too, which is always a plus.”

40 Graham Rd W, Ithaca“I have had my tires serviced at this location for six years, they have a truly great staff. Their prices are excellent and if they think you can get a better price they will tell you exactly where to find it. I worked in a boat service department for years (meaning some work with trailer tires), these guys are people you can trust. If you just have a puncture they will fix it, not try to sell you a new tire, and if they tell you that your tires need replacing you should believe them.”
9AM - 7PM
40 Graham Rd W, Ithaca“This BJs is actually one of the nicer ones. It has a bakery, meat counter, and a deli in it. There are things here that aren't at all other BJs. The staff are always kind and pleasant. I have never had a bad experience here.”
8AM - 10PM
178 Main St, Groton“This Dollar General is great to have in town. They have a nice selection of essentials and it turns out that at least once a week we find a need to stop in. The staff are always polite. I wish they would get a produce selection; maybe one day!”

135 Fairgrounds Memorial Pkwy, Ithaca“Shoutout to the young mechanic at the Auto Center who checked out my tire & rim after I hit a curb, and gave me free advice about whether some lights on the dashboard of my Subaru were related. Very polite & respectful and helpful, thank you!”
“Shannon was great to deal with . I have been going to Dr Zwrart for years and he is the best ! My pets love him and feel comfortable with him and and his staff has always been great to to me me .”
