A place with good food, run by good people. Great vegetarian selection. Their Sandwiches and Paninis are super! Had their Susie's Garden Sandwich, which was a cold sandwich (didn't know), Bay Burger. Coconut iced coffee was delicious. Plenty of filings in their sandwiches.

Excellent bakery/coffee shop/grocery store/sandwich shop with their own parking lot. Amazing people working here! We enjoyed mocchachino (they make decaf as well), croissants and grabbed fresh sourdough bread.

Delicious and wide-variety of baked goods and the sandwiches are excellent to grab and take on a hike! I enjoyed mine at the Taughannock Falls overlook, which was just a short drive away!

Stopped in shortly after they opened on a Tuesday. Very nice atmosphere. I ordered the pastrami in a croissant. Very good breakfast sandwich. Great coffee too!!

This carrot cake is the most delicious cake I have ever had in my entire life. Anytime I eat their carrot cake, my heart fills with nothing but pure joy, and my mind is at ease. My stress levels are always low when I go here, and eat this carrot cake. Even people who don't like carrot cake would love this carrot cake. There is nothing, and I mean nothing more beautiful then the carrot cake here. This carrot cake is love. This carrot cake is life. This carrot cake is laugh. Glory to Ithaca bakery and their carrot cake.

Very yummy plain gluten free bagel with chicken sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and egg. I didn’t have time to make breakfast and I’d never eaten here before. It was conveniently nearby my route to work after dropping off my rental car. It hit the spot. I’d definitely go back when I’m in Ithaca.

We enjoyed a delightful lunch at Ithaca Bakery— I highly recommend! Each of us really enjoyed our food. I ordered the Round House breakfast bagel with egg, sausage, bacon, cheese, and hash brown. My other company got sandwiches and really liked them. We also got a triple chocolate cookie and it was delicious too! Wonderful ambiance and friendly staff.

Lots of options! Ordered the reuben and it was soo good!!! Place was very busy around 1030. Place has some parking. People are in and out so you should not have problem looking for a spot. Met some locals and were very nice to give us recommendation and tips for our hiking trip! A must visit if you are in town!

I recently visited Ithaca Bakery, and it was an amazing experience! The selection of baked goods is fantastic, with everything from fresh breads to delicious pastries and cookies. The quality of the food is top-notch, and everything tastes so fresh. I highly recommend trying their sandwiches—they're made with their own freshly baked bread, and the ingredients are always flavorful and high quality. The atmosphere of the bakery is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to grab a quick bite or sit and enjoy your treat. The staff are friendly, and I love the variety of options available, whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a hearty meal. Ithaca Bakery is a must-visit for anyone in the area, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

We visited here multiple times over last weekend. Food, coffee, the Mexican bagel, and ended up buying 10 different marmalade flavors to gift to friends. This 100 year old bakery has something to offer to everyone. You can spend a quality time here growing the menu, their merchandise too.

Ithaca Bakery is a beloved local gem, blending decades-long tradition with creative, fresh offerings—from artisan breads and bagel sandwiches to comforting soups and café fare. Its laid-back, indoor/outdoor vibes make it a perfect morning hangout or casual lunch spot. While some menu items lean pricey and lunch hours can get busy, the quality, friendly service, and community-driven spirit keep people coming back. Just double-check your order—and maybe try the cake if you’re feeling adventurous!

There are so many options from bagels to beverages, hot sandwiches to a cold case full of goodies. So many baked goods, and a great selection of oils and hot sauces that would make great gifts. Our food was great, everyone was friendly, and we’ll definitely stop in again when we visit the lakes.

What a great place to get breakfast or lunch! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options which is a huge plus. Cheryl is super friendly at the cash register! She is such a sweet person! Would highly recommend this place.

How can anyone not love this bakery? It is so unique because it's not only a bakery and cafe, but they serve alcohol too (they even do happy hour from 4-6). The food is always fresh and delicious. They have daily specials. They're baked goods are very good, as well. They are a lot of drink options: tea, coffee, cocoa, and smoothies. They have local wines, ciders, and beers. They have indoor and outdoor seating (including little greenhouses with picnic tables). They sell cool merchandise. The BBQ pork sandwich is very good. The PB & Joe smoothie is awesome (without the coffee). They have build your own smoothies, as well. The Jonah Jive is my favorite sandwich (vegetarian). Update 2025: I had a breakfast sandwich and it was very good. The mimosa flight was delicious.

Ordered the Cuban. It was delicious. 10/10 Had to get Ciabatta bread no French roll. Also purchased strawberry cheesecake and snikerdoodle cookies, they were ok nothing great.

The review below mines saddens me to read. I loved the bakery for its diversity in food/drinks and all types of other stuff in there. Coffee wasnt what i ordered but i had already left and it was too late. There is a rude guy and pretty sure I know who the woman in the review about the guy yelling at her is talking about. All I can say is thank God it wasn't me because i wouldn't have gotten to taste this beautiful sandwich they made. (When I deal with rudeness I don't support) . My food was amazing and glad I made the drive here to check this place out !

Staff were sooooooo friendly Prices are good Lovedddd how they offer bagels top side up as shown in photo we need more of that elsewhere cause that’s how I like my bagels! Bagels were averagely good Muffins were bad Coffee was good Overall we enjoyed this place, but the baked goods definitely are a bit stale (we visited at 7:30am). The place has feel good vibes but don’t expect outstanding eats

Crowded, loud, huge variety, limited seating. Sandwiches are okay, the Fat Woman drink was incredible.

I got the Brekkie Bowl, but had the avocados and sweet potatoes removed. Decent amount of bacon and overall the bowl was delicious, but I wish they put more kale in the bowl. When I’m in Ithaca again, I will definitely be stopping by and also grabbing one of their baked breads! Total ended up being $13.99 with tax, hence why I wished I had more kale.

Ithaca Bakery is a treat every once in awhile, and it has never disappointed! The food is always fresh whether it's soups or a prepared sandwich, and the breakfast sandwiches are the best in town. I love the salt rosemary bagels, and always save room for whatever vegetarian friendly soup they've got on the menu.
