Ithaca can always use another tavern.

Ithaca Coffee Company opens second tavern
6:40 PM, Feb. 2, 2012
The Ithaca Coffee Company is opening its second tavern today at the Ithaca Coffee Company store in Triphammer Marketplace, 2255 N. Triphammer Road, near Route 13.
Ithaca Coffee Company's first tavern, known as Tavern on Green, is at the company's Gateway Commons store at 311 E. Green St. in downtown Ithaca.
"When we opened Tavern on Green at our Gateway commons store, we believed that the location, variety and outstanding service would turn it into a success. We have weekly beer tastings, our mug club, a growing loyal customer base and great plans for 2012," said Julie Crowley, Ithaca Coffee Company owner. "Opening up a new Tavern on Triphammer is very exciting. Since opening in 2004 the store has become an important part of the community. Expanding our business into a tavern is the natural next step for us."
The Ithaca Coffee Company has been locally roasting specialty coffee for more than 25 years, according to the company. It carries a large variety of New York-made and local products as well as many gourmet and artisan products not easily found in the area. Under the Ithaca Coffee Company brand are chocolates and candy, the Ithaca Coffee, and a line of specialty teas. Crowley and her father, Bob Crowley, also own and operate Triphammer Wines and Spirits in the Triphammer Marketplace, a family business for 71 years. The Crowley family has been doing business in Ithaca for over 85 years, going back to Crowley's restaurant, which opened in the 1920s.
