PLEASE REOPEN - Edit
I love pretty much everything about Angel hearts to the point I want to work there very much. My only qualm is that they have been temporarily closed for months now and Ithaca needs them back! We miss you! Also please consider selling your mozzarella sticks to green star or Wegmans!!!

Delicious donuts & cinnamon buns! - Edit
I love a good cinnamon bun and can’t get them by home, so I was sold as soon as I saw them in the case 🤣 the cinnamon sugar donuts are also great! They have a nice selection of breakfast options. The staff were super nice even though it was chaotically busy when we were there- they still took the time to patiently and politely take our order

Fantastic homemade vegan comfort food - Edit
We’ve been going there since they opened; the food is amazing. Highlights for me: Beets Me Burger, Western Breakfast Sandwich, Tofu Benedict, Philly Cheesesteak, cashew cheese sauce, mozzarella sticks, home fries, chocolate chip brownies, mocha coffee. I don’t know how she does it; she makes the cashew cheese sauce, mozzarella sticks and sausage as well as the Beets Me Burger patties PLUS donuts, cookies and more. You can order online and pick up or go eat in the beautiful retro dining room. A true Ithaca treasure.

Read morePros: Large portions, Good variety , Meal options were well done
Cons: Too small! Need more space. , Wish they were open for dinner.

Good Ithaca vegan food - Edit
Ordered from here a fair amount. The mozzarella sticks are probably better than the chicken and waffle but the donut was good.

My first-ever vegan mozzarella sticks! - Edit
My sister who works at Farm Sanctuary recommend this spot. Awesome food--get something that comes with/is served on a biscuit. The iced mocha was just alright. I'd recommend the food and soft serve over the coffee drinks. Plus there's a perfect water fountain in the hallway outside (chilled water for your cup or bottle)! Gets busy on weekend afternoons. Would love to come again. 👍

So good - Edit
Cool space, delicious homemade sauces, seitan, and biscuits. The chicken bacon biscuit sandwich with maple chipotle sauce was awesome, so was the cheesesteak

Not Bad Food, Unfriendly Staff - Edit
I'm pretty surprised to see the staff here praised for the friendliness in other reviews. We found the service to be sullen and pretty unwelcoming — to the point we felt quite uncomfortable being the only diners there.
Read moreFood wise, the all-day breakfast offerings were a nice change from the usual. We shared the biscuits and gravy, and the eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was a bit too coconut-y for my liking and there was a tad too much fennel, but overall both dishes were tasty and the portion sizes were on point.
It's certainly worth stopping by if you're in the area, I just hope you get a better welcome than we did.
Pros: Good portion size, Great location
Cons: Unfriendly staff

I have to agree with this. The food was good, but the staff acted like we were inconveniencing them by being there. Especially when we ordered donuts. Also visited in August 2023.

A must visit. - Edit
5/5 easily. We've been here so many times, their breakfast menu is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu that has their homemade biscuits or homemade gravy (or both!) But honestly you can hardly go wrong with anything on this whole menu. Our top favorites are the breakfast skillet, tofu benedict, and good morning Ithaca burrito. They use local coffee and amazing bacon both that you can buy. We always leave here stuffed and satisfied.

They’re doing something right! - Edit
This place is cool! Friendly staff in a traditional diner-type restaurant with all-day breakfast. I had the chick’n and waffles with gravy. Made with seitan and love, the food was very tasty and stays true to its diner roots. I could quibble with a few things (I’ve had some amazing vegan food lately, and this wasn’t “knock your socks off” good and was more like chick’n fried steak rather than fried chick’n), but it was well cooked, spiced very well and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife loved the donuts, but also didn’t love that the home fried potatoes were covered by the gravy in the biscuits and gravy, not on the side. They also used plastic utensils, which was annoying when trying to cut our chick’n, waffles and biscuits. Nevertheless, I’d definitely recommend the place and it’s fully deserving of the fifth star. In some ways, even though this is comfort food, the use of more traditional substitutes provides a more homey experience while enjoying the food that fit the ambiance well. I love what they’re doing, and I love having this option in Ithaca when we visit. Would definitely come back and try other dishes!

Fully Vegan and super friendly staff! - Edit
Went for breakfast and ordered the Breakfast Skillet and the Tofu Benedict. Both were fantastic selections. We loved the bacon on the Tofu Benedict so much I went back to ask the staff about the bacon to find out that they sell the bacon there. The staff and the owner told me all about the bacon they use . . . how they store it, how they cook it. Liked it so much, I bought 5 packages of it!

Pros: Staff was very helpful with my questions, Has outside tables, Has a parking lot
Cons: They are not close to where I live

Old fashion diner veganized :) - Edit
Last year, we were able to take out, but this year we sat down and had waffles and chick’n, buffalo sandwich, and donuts. Everything was outstanding. I ate way too much. It’s a must visit while in Ithaca.

I’ve only been once and it was outstanding. My husband and I had the vegan Philly cheese “steak” and they use seitan. It was so good. We also got for dessert their peach muffin which we also enjoyed.
