"The quality of the food they put out has gone so wildly downhill. I used to order CTB weekly. This is an “open face, scooped, tuna salad bagel + onion & tomato”. Absolute waste of money."

"Went in last Friday (7/18) for a bit of a splurge breakfast. I ordered the Nova Lox & Cream Cheese on a Sesame Bagel with tomato, onions, and capers. Cost with tax & 20% tip was $16.91. To my surprise there was a ton of lox and quite a bit of cream cheese. It comes open face, which I was not aware of, but that didn't matter. It was delicious and for dining out, well worth the price. My only criticism, and why I gave 4-stars for service, is due to their system. They make orders as they come in and apparently they do many more online orders than they do in house orders. From the time I walked in to the time I ordered and paid, was 4 minutes. I got my food 13 minutes later. Had I been on my way to work, this would be an issue. It's my feeling that in-house customers should be taken care of first, but like I said, this is not the staff's fault. They were awesome and swamped with online orders."

"Fabulous experience! Delicious, nutritious food at reasonable prices. Convenient location right near the Cornell campus. Fast, friendly service. A wide variety of both food items and beverages. A clean, neat store. Highly recommended!"

"We lived in Ithaca for many years but had not been back in 12 years. One stop that was essential was to Collegetown Bagels. We had to get the stellar Octopus Sandwich (super!) and an Octopus Collegetown bagels T-shirt. Great setting, helpful staff, delicious food and fast service. We will be back sooner, I hope!"

"CTB has consistently mediocre food but they have a wide selection and great service. I have been unimpressed with the portioning in their salads/bowls before (there is often way too much lettuce/grain base for the amount of toppings) but tried the build your own option today and was particularly disappointed by the amount of chicken. I know prices are going up but $3 for 1 ounce of chicken seems a bit extreme to me."
