“I had hoped it had more bargains like 2 buck Chuck that I've heard about for years. NYS law prevents the sale of wine in a grocery store, so not TJ'S fault. Staff was exceptional. My very first time at a TJ'S and I will be back!”
“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.”
9AM - 8PM
505 3rd St, Ithaca“The staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely an improvement from years past. it always seems busy.
I noticed they also carry the same brands of fresh fruits found at wegmans and Walmart for less”
“I love it because it has a neighborhood feel rather than giant corporations. Employees are always willing to help and very kind. I have been shopping here since I was 10 (soòoooo 35 years ?). Just a laid back vibe and no drama.”
6:30AM - 9PM
40 Graham Rd W, Ithaca“The propane gentleman was extremely rude. The woman at the door checking receipts was friendly. I had a problem with the ice cream container I got and the service desk girls ran back and got me a new container with no problem or questions”
“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.”
“I've gone to the big M since I was a kid. Although thier prices may be high at times, they have amazing deals every week. An the customer service is always great.”
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).”
“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.”
6AM - 12AM
500 S Meadow St, Ithaca“Holy cow! This place isn't just some grocery store, it's the very definition of a SUPER market!!! All FRESH foods taste amazing and are inexpensively priced, the workers are all incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, helpful and available! Wish there were more of them throughout the USA!”
“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.”
“Coffee, yes, espresso drinks, tea, pastries, sure. But also all the supplies and gear you need to make your own coffee, including their own roasts. Also lots of gourmet shop items like cheese and charcuterie. Not to mention a tavern in back with a broad tap list, wines by the glass, and beer and cider to go.”
“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.”
7AM - 10PM
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.”
8:30AM - 9PM
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.”
9AM - 8PM
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.”
8AM - 9PM
91 W Tioga St, Spencer“the helpfulness of Allie!! she is an amazing young woman with very professional people skils!! her wonderful demeanor will have me back to enjoy this customer experience”
8:30AM - 9PM
2300 N Triphammer Rd, Ithaca“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!”
“Always a lot of good merchandise at reasonable prices. Very good prices on propane and gasoline for cars. Tire and repair shop has great offers on tires , rotation and exchanging winter summer tires if you buy them there. Nice vegetables and meat in the grocery department. Great prices on laptops also.”

6339 NY-13, Cayuta10AM - 6PM
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.”
“Shopping at Tops is great, many food selection and great produce. When it gets busy not too many cashiers open, but they are working very hard and quickly. One thing that gets me is that customers aren’t bagging their own groceries, even if there are 2 or 3 people there able to pack bags. They watch the cashier pack as quickly but complain that it’s too heavy and make here in pack and then repack in a different bag. Which would make other customers wait even longer. Let the cashiers pack if you don’t want to, i’m sick and tired of reading all these reviews you have about the cashiers and how they don’t help, they get stressed too and they get help doing all this. Yes, they are low on cashiers during the day but if you can’t be patient with how they are working, go to the self check out maybe then you will be able to see what they have to deal with.”
“One of the few places in Collegetown remaining from my college days! Super reliable, open everyday until 3am without fail. Don't even try getting beer after 1am though. Their clerks don't mess around.”
“California style pizza is 12 out of 10! It's been my favorite pizza since I was a young girl. I don't get it often enough since it's not too close. Would definitely be my #1 choice of pizza! If you haven't tried it just do it... you will be so glad you did!”
