"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."

"As it was my first time going to this restaurant, I was optimistic to go and buy and try their fresh juice as it is in their menu. As soon as I went to them to take my order, I asked her where the mango and pineapple were in my juice. I did not see their source in the juice I ordered. The cashier told me that it lost the cranberries, which loses all the colors of the other things added to the berries. I told her that this is something convincing. I paid the full expensive amount without giving her a tip because I suspected that the juice might be adulterated. So I took the juice and left because they would close at 6 pm. As soon as I arrived home, I did not drink it immediately because I was fasting, and I decided that the fresh juice would be my breakfast for fasting. As a biology student and researcher of living materials and sources that cannot be seen with the naked eye, I decided to add a sample of the juice that I bought for a huge amount and use my electric microscope to make sure that the source of the mango and pineapple was added to my juice. The surprise was that my juice did not contain any sources. For mango and pineapple according to my request and according to the huge amount that I paid, this is a big deception as this is my first time going to this site, and as long as others are satisfied with the deception that their juice is made up of everything they asked for, then it is okay as long as they will pay a high price for fraud and deception, but I will recover my right peacefully and the deceivers will pay a high price for their audacity to deceive customers by not adding the sources of the buried order and as the cashier went far away fleeing from the reality of the deceitful deception that she is skilled at as soon as I asked her about the source of the mango and pineapple that I paid for in my requested juice and the price of which was buried high, as long as this is their audacity with deceit and deception it will not last , if there where options to not give them any star I would choose zero star according to their scams"

"CTB is a great place to have a quick bite when in Ithaca. The bagels and the sandwiches are good. Prices are also very reasonable. There are no table service, and the line to order could be quite long at peak times. However, the line does move fairly quickly as the staff taking the orders and the staff preparing the food are very efficient."

"Great bagels! The menu was overwhelming and I didn’t know where to look first to figure out my order. Ended up with a great plain bagel. The turkey panini was very large and fit for two people. Overall nice atmosphere and good seating. The staff were very helpful too. Hope this helps!"

"College town bagels is what it sounds like-but top of class. Shown by the fact that I think there are at least 3 locations- downtown Ithaca, one right "on" Cornell U. campus, and one in a mall on East Hill in all in Ithaca. Efficient system of huge variety of bagel breakfast hot sandwiches, regular sandwiches, chips, etc. Great coffee, teas, at a pretty good price. Also prepared to go meals, salads etc. My fav bagel is the rosemary salt- so good- they often run out! Try the Bronx or Brooklyn, varieties of egg (real) with bacon or ham or cheese... Vegan options as well- with faux meats etc. Usually great service-occasionally young staff can be spacey but overall like I said "efficient" system of ordering at counter and getting it called to pick up when done."
