Unfortunately it was a disappointing day experience food-wise. Bagels did not seem fresh. Onions were not fresh. Very little cream cheese (and it was the wrong kind, not what we ordered) or nova lox on a $13 dollar sandwich. Thankfully the staff was kind and voided the order. Hopefully they can fix the food issues.

The CTB at this mall is stingy on filling. Meat and veggies are very thin in there. The East Ithaca area has few breakfast diner options, so this CTB is a local convenience.

A warning if you get takeout:
They have no way of telling you that an item you ordered wasn’t in stock. I stood and waited for 30 minutes after I got the text that my order was ready only for someone to finally, *finally* ask if I needed help. Normally, everything is quick and fast- but ordering online during the lunch rush is a nightmare. You’re better off ordering in, or going somewhere else.

Definitely more heavily trafficked these days, I used to think of this place as a local “hidden gem” compared to the CTB downtown. However this location is still an excellent place to get good food, good drinks, and enjoy the “small town” vibes.

It’s very high quality, amazing atmosphere. Just a tad expensive for what it is. Still an Ithaca classic and worth visiting for any first timer!!

Located in the East Hill Plaza, with easy parking, College town bagels and Ithaca Bakery is an Ithaca favorite. Highly recommend. The have the best bagels and sandwiches in upstate NY. It’s easy to order veg options online and in person.

Makes incorrect food and refuses to refund. Had to dispute with bank. Sorry to be such a bother! Enjoy paying the chargeback fee on top of the money you owe for the order!

Lots of choices. Soup could be hotter and better but the egg and lox bagel was top notch!
