I had a good experience here for the most part! I went twice during my trip. I enjoyed the gluten free toast and bagels and got an egg and cheese one day, and a scallion cream cheese and cucumber the next. The coffee is also delicious and didn't even need a flavor added. The man taking our orders the first day was also incredibly kind and you could tell he just enjoyed his job, or at least was happy to be there. There's also a mini shop here basically. There's fresh bread and prepackaged meals here like Shepards pie and fruits and veggies. There also was plenty of cute merch and I left with two designs. Two things that I didn't like. Ordering was a bit chaotic. There are labeled areas that show where to order what, but if it's your first time in it can feel overwhelming and you might be wandering a bit figuring it out. I wish it could all be ordered at one spot, not like it's a food hall. I understand that this probably does work the best for them though and is most likely pretty easy for ordering if you're a local. Lastly, I had an issue with a woman working the second day. They have a big menu and I was looking at it above her head while ordering. She was fine while I was talking, but stopped me when I went to walk away. She said "You know, you really need to face people while you're talking to them." What! So awkward and weird. That's the main reason I took one star off because it caused me not to go back again. Very rude and felt like a mini lecture for no reason. read more

We're not local but we've visted before and really enjoyed the stop. Being in the area, frequenting the State Theatre, and listening to good music we needed morning refreshments and immediately thought "Baked in Ithaca". This visit we got coffee, breakfast sandwiches and various baked goods. The restaurant was busy and hopping with activity on a Sunday morning around 9AM. The parking lot was full but there was street parking around the business. There was also plenty of seating for us to find some room to eat in comfort. You order food at one counter but you pay at the other counter? All food is delivered to the "pay" counter. Service was fast, even with the crowd, the breakfast sandwiches were delicious, the coffee was dark (which we love) and the baked goods didn't last long. We got a cinnamon coffee cake and a loaf of bread that were huge hits. "Baked in Ithaca" - what a slogan! read more

This place was great to grab a quick lunch after the science museum. I got soup and a panini and my son got a peanut butter bagel. We had a group of 6 and it is a little tight in there and the tables are mostly only for two people. It was also confusing when you came in as you ordered one place and then paid another place. I'm sure if you have been before it's easy to figure out but for a first timer it was a little overwhelming and confusing. Nothing bad to say about the food however. So good. read more

We came on Thursday morning so there was little to no line. We ordered a maple latte, smoothie along with a California sunset bagel sandwich, cinnamon roll and 2 chocolate hazelnut croissants. Everything was delicious. The staff were friendly & helpful. We will be back. read more

Visiting family in Ithaca and our one must do's on this trip was to eat Ny style deli. Upon entering you have a deli feel with an urban vibe, could it be the wine bar! This bakery/restaurant has a counter where you order your food and bakery items. There is a separate counter for the adorable wine bar and other deli items. Everyone behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Renwick Rueben, it was wrapped in foil and I loved that touch. Let us not forget that the name of this restaurant has bakery in its name. I went crazy and ordered cannoli's, cookies and an eclair. The lady next to me ordered an eclair, because it was "National Eclair Day". This eclair was fantastic. I live in Florida where I have never had a good one, the inside part is always stale, but this eclair was fresh and tasted incredible. I will say this is hands down the best item here. Cannot wait to visit next summer! read more

If you're familiar with CTB, Ithaca Bakery is that. Same vibe, same setup, nearly identical in every way. I tried the Steak & Egg sandwich and the Cat Woman. The Cat Woman, in particular, was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come back just for that. read more

Amazing menu- lots of fabulous choices. Had a delicious sandwich where all ingredients were perfect! Soups a ton of choices and pot pie soup was wonderful! And the bakery choices - omg so good! Staff was friendly and so helpful! Highly recommend! read more

Great sandwiches and smoothies and good prices! Huge selection of options available and an amazing looking baked goods display! They have lots of outdoor and indoor seating. They are a sister company with college town bagels so you'll likely see some familiar food items which is great for me. They have a surprising amount of parking and even ev charging spots! We'd definitely come back! read more

I guess a trip to Ithaca isn't complete without stopping at Ithaca Bakery. My husband is down here quite a bit for work and said it's one of his favorite places. He usually grab lunch here or sweet treats for us. There's two sides one for sandwiches and the other side for pastries, coffee/drinks. We grab a few things to bring over to a family member house(they loved the vegan bars we bought for them). My oldest loved the donut shaped cake(chocolate cake with I think chocolate ganache in the middle?). Everything else was delicious, I loved the maple iced latte. The service was quick and friendly. There's good amount of seating indoors and outdoors. We'll definitely stop by again whenever we're in town. read more

Someone in the office wanted to order breakfast so I decided to try this bakery. The DoorDash order came super quick and I was not disappointed! I ordered some type of apple pastry. I put it in the microwave for about 12 seconds and it was divine! The crust was light and so crispy/flaky and it had just the right amount of apple filling. Will definitely order again and again. I didn't think about a picture until I had devoured it. read more

We visited two times during our 3 day visit (we visited both locations)- the North Meadow Street location is much larger than the Triphammer (and apparently serves beer as well! We saw a nice looking bar counter with a lot of local offerings) We came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning, and it was bustling- you may need to circle around a few times to find a table. You'll line up at the a different counter to order your sandwich/meal, and then line up in the main cash register line to pay. Line to pay can be a little long/hectic but it moved quickly. I got the Huevos Sonora wrap (includes egg, avocado, salsa and cheddar cheese in a wrap) and my husband got the Round House bagel (egg/bacon/sausage/HASH BROWN/pepper jack cheese, all jammed into a rosemary salt bagel). My wrap was what you would expect, but I was impressed by the Round House- literally there is just a hash brown just hanging out in this humongous bagel sandwich. What impressed me the most was the quality of their baked goods- we got some goodies for our trip back home- we got a sticky bun, a chocolate hazelnut babka and a cheddar leek scone, and all were delicious! You get a lot of bang for your buck as well. read more

IF I COULD POST ZERO STARS, I WOULD! Customer service is easy, it's free it costs nothing but apparently someone forgot to tell this snotty ass company! To many point of sale tablets (5-6) but let's only run one with the slowest person in the building "HONEY"! Unbelievable! Never again! Don't waste your time in this place!!!! read more

Delicious food and even better desserts. A lot of grab and go foods that make it quick to get in and out. read more

I've been a loyal customer since it's inception and have only had one issue in all that time. Genuine bagels!

Well, the bagels are good; most of their breads are on point; and their breakfast sandwiches are super. But their soups: stellar! Nice enough ambience, and efficient and friendly staff. read more

This place had really gone downhill. First-the cashier basically gave me a death stare and did not greet me as I approached the counter. Ordered the Huevos Sonora wrap and it was flat like a pancake-a tiny amount of food for $8. Very disappointed. Gave 2 stars bc the coffee was pretty good but food is a rip off. In regard to bagels, Wegmans are better. read more

Awesome place with even better bagels! I go here all the time and like to mix it up, so I've tried a lot of options, and they are all top notch. The bagels are soft on the inside, but have a nice crisp on the outside. Their menu options all tend to be a nice combination of flavors. I personally love the steak & eggs, really good roast beef! The ordering system is a cool experience. Service and wait time is honestly depending on what you order. I had instances where I order a cc bagel, and had my order within 2 minutes, and other times where I get steak and eggs, which takes closer to 5-7 minutes. All reasonable wait times, and I never seemed to mind. Now about the decor, it's old school with a modern-ish feel! I love the style and layout of it. read more

The line moved quickly, that's one star. The cinnamon roll thing was disgusting though. The frosting was soft and oozing and tasted of, I think, coconut. Was it coconut oil? The pastry itself had a terrible mouthfeel and tasted like it was made with water and flour and cinnamon. Had to throw it out. read more

It's ... decent. -- The good: The food. Service is ok (sandwiches) and fast (the rest). The place look good and is clean. The staff is pleasant. -- The odd: The portions are on the small side (not pastry). Sandwiches are ordered separately from the rest. So, make sure you are standing in the correct line. Also, everything is picked up from one spot, that's convenient for coffee/pastry and nothing else. There are only 2 restroom stalls. Be ready to wait in line. read more

We stopped here while on vacation to use the bathrooms after a long drive. The place was busy even at 3 in the afternoon on a weekday. The two bathrooms were not that nice and defy could use a cleaning. Also the dining area was snug and messy with food on the floors ect. Having worked in restaurants for years, this can be solved by having an employee sweep midway through the day. The staff were friendly but busy even after the rush of people were gone. The pastries and drinks we ate were good. read more

Ordered bfast ahead on-line, was ready in 15 mins. Early bird - pannini bread too chewy, sides burnt and hard; aside from that, enjoyable when done right. PB & Joe smoothie - peanut butter heavy, on the thicker consistency, barely sweet, good level of caffeine for beginners. Almond croissant - Place is spacious with many tables & seats - outdoor seating available. Nice size parking lot. Staff energetic and friendly on a Monday morning. Service quick and easy pick-up location / service. Price to portions within standard. Price itself - debatable, then again we are in inflation... read more

We ended up coming here twice on our trip to Ithaca. Coming from a NJ resident, these bagels were delicious! I loooved the Zoe. I have a bias for a chicken salad with something sweet. The cranberry sauce went so well with this sandwich. Great vegan options for breakfast and lunch. (And baked goods!) Easy ordering, receive a ticket and then bring it to the counter to pay. They'll call your number/name when it's ready and there's lots to browse while you wait. read more

Great food, impecable vibe, and amazing service. Highly recommend if you're in the area, whether you're local or just visiting!

Whenever we are in Ithaca, we stop at the Ithaca Bakery for bite to eat! I love the vegetarian menu, with all its delicious options! Most of the time, we get something to go, which is usually a quick wait and the staff are super nice! We have eaten in both the restaurant and their outdoor seating area, but prefer to take our meal to a local park, with so many to choose from. Either way, it is a must stop for the Ithaca area! read more

I had terrific robust coffee and a rosemary sea salt bagel. I chose that because the other varieties I can get all the time, but I never saw Rosemary before. I got it with chive cream cheese and lox. There was lots of Lox! Great breakfast and very reasonable considering the amount of lox. I'll stop in again when in the area. read more

A solid bakery to stop into for a quick bite. I grabbed my tried & true: lox on a bagel. It was piled high with fresh ingredients, all of which tasted great. I wish the lox hadn't been so thin though and that the rosemary salt bagel had smaller granules of salt. This is me being picky! I would happily stop in again to try other bagel flavors & their baked goods which looked amazing. I should also mention that my order was ready in less than 10 mins on a weekday morning! Fantastic! read more

Was in Ithaca for the day. Stopped in for lunch before flying out. Had the Cuban sandwich and a small side of potato salad. Worst sandwich ever. I was only able to choke down half of it. Thank God, because a couple of hours later, I was throwing it up all over the place. I'd probably be in the hospital if I had eaten the whole thing. Thanks for the food poisoning. read more

Wow. $5.50 for a microwaved egg and cheese. No s/p as requested. Maybe you're the only game in town? I think not as I have been traveling to Ithaca since before I was born. I opted out of the BEC because the price for that was ~$7.50. Almost inedible but I didn't have the time to go back in the store. read more

Very cute, and many options! Good food worth it for the vibes and aesthetic. Very small town and a cute pit stop on the way to the falls or lake. read more

On our anniversary getaway, we stayed in Ithaca for a hiking vacation and we were at Ithaca Bakery every single day of our vacation. One day we had breakfast AND lunch there! The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. My favorite was the one with pastrami and egg on a croissant. A great way to start off the day! For lunch, I tried the reuben and it was fantastic. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and he said it was the best one he's ever had, he loved the pulled pork on it. Bonus for the outside seating to sit with our pups. The service was friendly and efficient, and they had a great selection of snacks and drinks to go with our meal. We will definitely be back when we return to the area! read more

Oh wow... They did not disappoint. A long fan of Collegetown bagels we decided to give Ithaca bakery a try for breakfast sandwiches. Amazing variety of options available for meat lovers to vegetarian to vegan's. I think we will be back for lunch as the sandwich selection also looked amazing They are practicing great Covid social distancing and hygiene protocols. read more

All of the cakes we ordered were very tasty! Very rich and decadent! A tad on the sweet side though. I think I liked the cookies and cream cake best! It was moist and hit a good ratio of frosting to cake! The cheesecake was good too. I liked the brownie one a lot. It had a brownie base and brownie chunks mixed in with the cheesecake. The texture of the cheesecake was smooth and creamy- not crumbly or grainy at all. I have also tried their red velvet cake and vanilla birthday cake with chocolate frosting! Both were good, but I wish the red velvet cake had cream cheese frosting... Service was fast- we went at the end of the day... around closing hours and there was no line at all. Ambiance was nice- I prefer this location of Ithaca bakery to the smaller one located off of triphammer. They have more options! Overall I would definitely return- I would love to try some of their sandwiches and other desserts! read more

Bread here is always super delicious. You can buy loaves at Anabel's and rolls at Cafe Zeus on campus if you're a student.

Excellent service although it was extremely busy and crowded. Lots of wonderful food options. Not ideal location for a relaxing coffeehouse experience being on a busy street read more

The best soup and sandwich place in the entire US. I have traveled to over 46 states in the US and I think Ithaca is the gem for hidden restaurants. Every time I'm in Ithaca, I make it a point to go to Ithaca Bakery or their sister business Collegetown Bagels. Love the excellent quality and reasonably priced food and the vibe of the place. I will always be back for more! read more
