  This was our first time visiting Corning and exploring the little shops! I'm so glad we stopped at Old World Cafe. Everyone enjoyed their food they ordered and we would definitely return again if in town.

  Cool little cafe and ice cream shop in Corning. We had lunch here a few days back. The ice cream portion is in the beginning of the store and if you head to the back you will reach the cafe portion of the store. I got the seafood chowder add my wife got a tuna sandwich. They were great!
  
  It is right next to the out door courtyard where you can sit at tables and listen to music. That's what we did when we got our ice cream.

  While I was in town visiting my mother I was looking for a place to eat and grab , healthy, but delicious food. She recommended the old world ice cream and coffee Café because they are local, and seem to fit my needs. She couldn't have been more right, because they also serve a ridiculously large amount of food with every order. I was a little dismayed at the prices when I first walked in and looked at the board, as well as the range of selections. I've a hard time making decisions, and felt overwhelmed at how many things just sounded absolutely amazing. We ended up getting a Italian chicken Panini and I ordered a chef's salad with extra turkey instead of the ham . What a gigantic meal! The sandwich was large enough for her to eat it, me to have a piece, and then to have half a sandwich later , the chef salad was heavy with vegetables, which I love, a generous amount of meat and cheese, and a whole egg cut up over top. There was the additional pretzel rod, which probably was not housemaid, but gave a nice little carb boost to the otherwise absent salad. Their house dressings paired quite well with the greens, and they gave more than enough in the take out to dress this salad with some leftover. As for the Panini, the incredible cheese, large serving, and tasty chicken made it an easy victory. They had in a few chips on the side, completely unnecessary, but I'm not complaining. If you find yourself in the area and you need a healthy, delicious, and locally grown meal stop in and check them out. I don't think you could do any better.

  So this is a good place for food, in a town that doesn't offer a whole lot in the way of eateries. Unless you like 3 squares of pizza. This town is pizza 24-7. Anyway, we ordered some ice cream sundaes and they took forever , the ice cream was advertised home made but delivered freezer burned purity. There was so much confusion on how to make an affogato I wish I had a...forgotten it. (Sorry to the day walker behind me that tried to help by ordering me something COMPLETELY different and I bit his head off. Don't fuck with my ice cream choice plz)  End of season and new staff- but it's clean and cute place.
