Wide Awake Bakery

I wonder if the food and coffee here is good? I hear it's good. Today I saw an open sign on the door. I was excited because it was 930. I mean, I like to have my coffee and pastries before lunch, you know? Lo and behold, the doors were locked, and the place was actually closed. With hours starting at 11 am more than half of the days maybe they should consider changing the name to "Sleeping In"?

A local gem in the Finger Lakes area, please go here. We had the jalapeño cheddar scone, hazelnut chocolate scone, their famous whole grain pretzels, matcha latte and they also sell sourdough starter in an actual gum ball machine. Almost all their products have some kind of sourdough base, which means as a person who can’t metabolize white flour, I can eat almost anything here! Everything is delicious and the staff super amazing.

The croissant was fantastic and the coffee was good. The staff was great. However, it is right by a noisy highway and intersection. So, I used the noise canceling headphones sitting outside in one of their four tables.

Relaxed vibes, warm people, and delicious goods! It’s so lovely to have this bakery here, as a staple in the community and neighborhood. Everything was very, very reasonably priced. They also had some special drink items on the menu that sounded delicious, which I’ll have to come back for!

As a croissant aficionado, I'm always looking for a savory, flaky, and crunchy pastry to pair my morning coffee with. After years of looking all around Ithaca for the perfect croissant, I was all but disappointed and almost gave up. That was until I found Wide Awake at the local farmers market. Since then, I make it a point to grab a 3-pack of croissants to take home every weekend. But, what happens when I need my croissant fix on a Thursday? Lucky for me, Wide Awake opened a brick and mortar location on Buck Hill road, just across the street. No more waiting for the weekend to get croissants! This is the neighborhood bakery you dream of. They bake daily, have a surprising variety of breads and pastries, and make some decent espresso. Most of their baked goods use sourdough, except for baguettes and a couple of others. They're welcoming, knowledgeable, and are willing to provide recommendations. The new location has parking space, baking paraphernalia and good coffee. Word of advice: They're still a small bakery with high local demand. Additionally, a large portion of their production is devoted to their bread CSA (community supported agriculture) program.
