We stop whenever we are in town.
This is a bakery and deli.
Plenty of tables and chairs for dining inside.
Nothing fancy, order at the counter and have a seat.
Definitely, a local, college town kind of place, a little chaotic, all good.
Everyday they have crazy, fun specials.
We love the cheddar chive biscuits, best warm.
They have a huge assortment of vegan and vegetarian sandwiches
Five stars just for knowing that it's not an 'everything' bagel it's a _Long Island_ bagel. Say it with me: Long Island bagel
Ithaca Bakery is my first stop whenever I manage to get back to Ithaca. It continually saddens me that I just can't find a bagel as good as an Ithaca Bakery bagel anywhere in Seattle. These bagels have been my ideal bagel since childhood: glossy crust, very chewy, and available in many varieties. A toasted Long Island with cream cheese is pretty much the best thing ever. I flew back to Seattle with a dozen after christmas and I carried them in my hand luggage because I was worried about my checked luggage not making it back with me.
All of the bakery's bread products are winners though. If you've never had the Becks'n'Cheddar you're missing out on one of the most delicious bread experiences available. Just don't buy my loaf.
The other prepped food items range from good to very good. The soup is especially satisfying; there was one shrimp gumbo that I remember being particularly transcendent a few years ago.

I wanted to review something, and what better than my favorite bakery in my hometown... perhaps the country...
This place has been a family staple since we first got cable TV in the 80s. Back then Wegmans didn't have its delightful bagels, and it was hard to find a good nova bagel done right anywhere outside the City.
Fast forward to 2008 and everything is as solid as ever! The pecan sticky buns are still my favorite, unchanged from memory of highschool brunches past.
This place will forever remind me of good times in I-town, I wish you guys continued success!

Love Ithaca bakery, since they have expanded they now offer so much! They have everything from soups, coffee, bagels, salad bar, organic food, and they now have extra seating. You can always find something to eat and they have decent pricing. They also offer wireless Internet connection.

This place is top nocth.
One of the things that I like is their monthly themed menus (e.g. Mexican, Barbeque, Tomatos)... The only problem is that many of the items on these menus are avialable only one day of the week... That is a problem for someone who lives eighty miles away.
The Napoleons are tough, but better than their baklava (it's got something that tastes like red bean paste in it), and sometimes the pepper is hard to find.
But they have Ciao Bella gelato, which is quite possibly among the best things in all the world.
I've eaten lunch here a couple of times and have not been sorry. The coffee's cool, spanakopita is A+ (big serving, too), and the potatoes rock well.
There is a man who works here that I like a great deal. He has a funny smile and he always wears a hat. He helped me find the pepper once.

Stopped in for a coffee and a pastry before heading out to Taughannock Falls on a rainy Sunday morning. The coffee was very good and the lemon bar was huge and as close to perfection as a lemon bar can be.
We were seduced by their sandwich selection and intrigued by the Sloppy Joe soup so we returned after doing some exploring for lunch. Both of our sandwiches were creative and delicious and the soup, while a little disappointing (I built it up too much in my mind), was still pretty darn good.
You can't go wrong at Ithaca Bakery; there is something for everybody. It might be the most complete bakery anywhere.
I've been here twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch. Both meals were to die for. The bakery is situated right on rt13, so it gets busy during the day and a frenzy when Cornell and Ithaca College are in session. I think it's one of the best places to eat in Ithaca for a quick and healthy meal. Their menu is extensive, the staff is very friendly and will even crack jokes with you!

I stayed in a hotel right behind the plaza housing this lovely establishment and I was lucky it was there because even with cars we might not have found a better place for an easy breakfast. I had a coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese (it came with two orange slices, a nice touch) and my grand total was under $5. Menu for lunch looks huge and interesting, so I might have to come back to sample some soup and sandwich. The people who work here are friendly and there has been a constant stream of customers while I have been sitting here so it obviously meets the locals approval too.

What Ithaca lacks in areas of interest for business travelers, Ithaca rocks when it comes to cafes & other local cuisine. Starting with the Ithaca Bakery for breakfast, lunch or an early dinner, Lost Dog Cafe in the commons, Maxie's Supper Club, or hot truck sandwiches at Shortstop Deli. All serious dining experiences.
Do you fancy gourmet coffee, fresh baked goods, a hot breakfast, and a sandwich with avocado for the road. Fancy a particular taste for you palate, look no further. Like a department store, but better.
I've been to Ithaca Bakery several times now, and have enjoyed it for the most part. Their breakfast sandwiches have been great, and they make the best spanakopita I have ever had (I think that they add parsley to it, which is unconventional but highly delicious). However, they do not get a 5, because I actually don't like their bagels that much (overly dry), and have not been impressed with the cookies/pastries I've tried.
you won't find better baked goods in ithaca (and maybe all of central NY.) the prepared foods and sandwiches are awesome (i forget exactly what it was called, but the taughhannack something is the best sandwich i've ever had.)
cheesecake brownies? the cheesy and brownie-est i've ever had. the bagels! the cheddar chive bicuit! i could go on & on.
growing up, my dad worked in ithaca, and i'd always beg him to bring things home for my after work. it was always a huge treat when he'd show up with an ithaca bakery bag. when i got older, in the winter i'd be driving up rt. 13 to get to greek peak and i'd always make a point to stop there for breakfast. so many good, delicious memories.

Good stuff! If only the counter person wasn't so into talking (yap yap yap!). We wanted the California brunch burrito and a phyllo dough creation with eggs, ham, spinach. Got the burrito, but she gave us french toast. hmmm. I decided not to complain and just eat the french toast (three small pieces of thick cinnamon raisin bread). You get your choice of sides- local new potatoes or a somewhat water logged fruit salad. I went back to the register to pay for a copy of the NYT, and she was still yapping away. This time she was blathering about how Ithaca is starving Latinos. OK, whatever, gimme my damn coffee already. Ithaca Bakery also has a lovely array of foodie condiments (jams, sauces, etc), soup mixes, and Ixchel tortilla (blue and white) chips. The cheese selection looked decent- could compliment their good looking breads.
Great selection of bagels, breads, sandwiches, entrees and desserts as well as drinks and fair trade coffees. Their sandwiches are the best with an eclectic selection to choose from. You've got to see their menu. Daily specials and other locations, known as Collegetown Bagels, spread throughout the city. Casual counter service type place and you can't beat the aromas inside. Great place to come for an after church bite to eat or on your way to the Farmer's Market.
Their sourdough cheddar chive loaf is amazing.
