Matté Factor Ithaca, NY


Friendly service. I was greeted by a long-haired man named Andrew.  He had kind eyes that seemed to never look away.  After I placed my order he engaged me in conversation "where are you from," "what will you do today," "where did you graduate-what did you study," etc. etc. etc.  I sat down in my private wooden booth: its twisting logs and knotted lacquer table engulfed me.  Looking up: the ceiling was perfect molding but had an old colonial feel.  Large oak trees intertwined through the cafe (some fake, some real) and I felt as if I was in a tropical rain forrest.  Andrew served my hot lentil soup with virgin olive oil dripping on the steamy hot bread.  My chai was upgraded from a small to gigantic-in hopes I would return I'm assuming.  We engaged in another casual conversation and I was left alone to devour my tea.  I look forward to returning. 


Chai Latte: extra spicy, foamy, and smooth. Lacking the creaminess that some other cafe has but overall and very different cup of tea!


Maté Factor is just a short walk from Mighty Yoga studio.  So grab a chai before or after class or some of their well-known all natural fruit smoothies and juices.
