Collegetown Bagels

Collegetown Bagels (CTB) It is more than just a bagel shop; it’s the high-energy, caffeinated heart of the city where students, professors, and locals all collide. ​The Food: More Than Just a Bagel ​The menu is legendary for its variety. While the bagels themselves have that perfect New York-style chew, the signature sandwiches are the real draw. Whether you are grabbing a classic lox or one of their creative "Zabs" combinations, the ingredients are fresh and the portions are generous. For those who aren't in the mood for a bagel, their bakery case is always stocked with incredible seasonal tr

A bustling, colorful staple in Ithaca. CTB delivers energy, personality, and a lot of choices. The smoothie was excellent—rich, real fruit flavor without being watered down or filled with ice like chain stores often do. The bagel and sandwich menu is massive and fun to read, full of creative combinations and Ithaca-themed names. The vibe is college-town casual but efficient, with bright decor, friendly staff, and both grab-and-go options and spots to linger. You’ll likely wait a bit during peak hours, but it’s worth it.

Seems like a cool place to hangout but the bagels are bad. I wasn’t expecting an amazing bagel but microwaved egg is the bare minimum. Ordered an egg and cheese but it was very fake tasting and dry. I tried to add ketchup and hot sauce but nothing made it better. :(

So I was expecting I nice breakfast sandwich. I asked for a plain bagel but got the wrong order, microwave egg and microwave bacon. No mayo as requested. Wanted to like this place as the atmosphere was very nice.
