Collegetown Bagels

Easy access. Bustling with activity at all times. Great tasting dishes on the menu. Great coffee choices as well. Have to replenish some where during the Commons visit, right? This place may well be that choice. Try it.

We always go there in the mornings and we love the quick and good breakfast however, they have gotten my orders wrong more than once. This morning I ordered their new vegan chicken melt and instead I came home and started bitting into a sandwich which confused me and made me doubt whether it was really vegan so I called to check."oh sorry I didn't hear the vegan part" .we all make mistakes but I wish I could have had the food I paid for.

Not as large of a space as the College Ave location but the food is just as good. Because of the size and location is doesn’t have the same feel either. Doesn’t feel like you can just bring your laptop and hangout for a few hours, although you still can and some people still do. Coffee is great, sandwiches are delicious, and the service is superb every single time.

Good breakfast bagel. Brooklyn, bacon egg and cheese. We ordered inside, and ate out side. there was a line but moved quickly. There are also tables to sit and eat inside.

The only place I could find half moons aka black in whites on My trip home to Ithaca. Gosh I've loved this place forever. Even ran into someone from Charlotte NC in line who could feel my pain of not having Bagels and baked goods as good as you find here. ♡

Collegetown Bagels, the downtown facility of Ithaca Bakery offers much the same breakfast and sandwich menu as does the larger store. Similarly, they're also good for tea and coffee. Beyond the regular brewed coffee they offer a variety of specialty coffees and Chai teas. The mid sized latte and catpuccino we had were hot with enough milk foam to last for the whole drink. It can get a bit noisy if there's a full house of customers, but that same full house is also indicative of the consistency and quality of their food and beverage offerings. Always a good go-to choice for a light meal or to spend time together over a cup of coffee or tea.

This place has so much potential but they have to look into their staff big time. The girl at the sandwich counter seemed like she was forced to work. My apetite just went down south after my interaction with her. She was acting like she was doing us a favor being there. Never again.

Great sandwiches and wraps. Meat and vegetarian. Breakfast all day and great desserts. This is my second shot at these spots in Ithaca... There are 3. Having now been to two of them I gotta say, hard to go wrong here. Its like a comfort hippie deli that's clean and fresh and fun... Right down to the fake dollar bill sticker on the floor.

It gets super busy (rightfully so), so be considerate: think about what you want to order before you get to the register!
I ordered a super tasty almond crossaint horseshoe thing (sorry forgot the real name) but the point is that it was scrumptious! If I'm not mistaken, CTB aquires most of its stock from Ithaca's main bakery and boy did they make the right choice there!
Everything I had was super satisfying and the coffee made a dreary winter day feel like I was in a weird, but captivating, poem about how little things like coffee remind you that there is warmth and good in the world even when the weather sucks.

It's hot in here, year round, but smells amazing and has a wide selection of ingestible goods. It is busiest at breakfast and lunch hours, has okay wi-fi, and some nice outdoor seating. It closes early relative to places nearby, but is consistently delicious.
