Collegetown Bagels

Great place to grab a bite. My friends and I have started a tradition of grabbing on of their seasonal drinks, the Amber rose, which is highly recommended, and walking around the commons. Always fast service and delicious food with a huge selection to choose from.

I'm in an exclusive relationship with their lox bagel. Expecting a proposal any day now.
Their drinks are a hit or miss. I enjoy their lavender latte. Everything skews a little on the sweet side though.
10/10 will go again. After all, it's an Ithaca institution. Even though they have the same owners, CTB > Ithaca Bakery

In terms of Coffee , it is the best in town. The coffee tastes great and they have Delicious Desserts. Prices are reasonable. Customer service are great. I recommend this place for Ithaca visitors. They should try it at least once.

Coming from LI, I thought I knew good bagels, but CTB blew me away. The chew on these bagels is 👌. If you have a sweet tooth, I suggest trying the San Diego bagel. Warm people and cheery atmosphere, worth experiencing again and again.

i really love the food itself there but new online order system they switched to is so confusing— I miss the old one they used, and I wish they’d go back to it! today was the second time we accidentally had our food sent to the wrong location, and we had to drive up to Collegetown to get it. we were so sad! (and my toasted bagel was literally ice-cold by that time!) the queue system inside downtown always makes me so anxious because I never know what window to go to to pick up food, and it always takes awhile to get someone’s attention, so you wonder “did I go to the wrong window? am I doing this right?”.

Good food and great selection. Very accommodating to families. They have a kids play corner and the woman who served us was amazing. She saw our daughter needed some extra snack and gave us some banana and apple for free. 10/10 would go again.

Decent or even good food, nice decor, but uniformly weak service, and I'm usually easy to please. The person who first took our order was grouchy and seemed like she would be happier working anywhere else. Then the cashier forgot to give us the coffee we'd ordered. And finally the server almost forgot to bring half our order. Was everyone stoned, or indifferent for other reasons?

This place is great. A -huge- selection of foods (including vegetarian options), cozy interior, and full of life (literally: lots of people). Also has outdoor covered and uncovered seating with heat lamps. Other folks have rated it one of the most iconic college restaurants in America: I can see why.

Very good bagels and deli options. It can get a bit hectic in here, but if a bagel is what you crave, it is worth the wait.

Wasn't sure what to expect but sine it was the only place with people outside seemed like a good place to stop. Quaint, efficient, delicious and a variety of menu options that will boggle your mind. Friendly and all around great experience. Sandwich was hot, service was quick. Food was delicious, eggs Christina and a Roundhouse in a wrap.
