Purity Ice Cream

Don’t get me wrong, this is a great ice cream parlor. That being said holy crap that brunch was amazing. Delectable English muffins, homemade jams, wonderful coffee & fast service. I’ll be back

We made the ultimate BRUNCH MATRIX to determine the Best Brunch in Ithaca, and these guys have the best brunch in town in almost every category. Great food, really quick service, you cannot beat the price, they have fresh squeezed OJ, great regular coffee, terrific menu selection, the BEST breakfast potatoes in town, best muffins ever, homemade English muffins (not an easy task), easy parking, and we’ve never had to wait for a table (ha, I am guessing that last one will change). AND there’s ice cream :-)
The only places where Purity lost any points: No booze, no free breakfast breads basket (Coltivare and Agava have really good ones), and the espresso drinks are lacking (if that’s what you’re craving and you’re willing to wait and park far away, Carriage House is definitely the place to go). Purity does counter/​table service, which I love as it’s extremely efficient, but it’s certainly not «fancy» if you want to be waited on.
The first few times I went, there were a ton of little problems. Not surprising as the brunch service is very new to them. But, I was amazed by how quickly everything was addressed (often noticed the owner working hard with the crew). Unlike some other places in town that just can’t get it together, these guys quickly took care of any/​all issues, and now they are the best brunch in town (by far!).

Delicious! I had the «Blueberry Goat Cheesecake Muffin», and wowzas was it good. Super creamy with chunks of muffin. Not too sweet either.
Plenty of seating available. You can ask them for samples if you are having trouble deciding (I did this for the cheesecake and the raspberry chocolate truffle and the former won hands down!)
I recommend getting the kiddie scoop in a chocolate waffle cone. It was just the right amount of ice cream for me.

I love purity! This was my first time back since the expansion, and its beautiful addition! I took a group of out of town friends to taughanock state park and we got some ice cream for the drive home. Everyone got something different, and everyone loved it! I got the pumpkin praline (I was feeling fall-​ish) made into a milkshake (I was also the driver). It tasted like a brisk creamy fall day in my mouth. #loveit #putthatoneverythang
Purity ice cream is always a good idea, always!

Lunch was excellent. Had the bbq tempeh sandwich and some fries. Have yet to try weekend brunch but I hear it’s great. I’ll be coming down here frequently once the weather warms up!
