Ithaca Bakery

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.

Have been here both times I've visited Ithaca and have really enjoyed it. The lunch/sandwich menu is gigantic and has something for everyone. I like that they have local beer/wine on tap as well. The bakery is great as well - had the carrot and chocolate tundra cake which were both excellent. Great staff and has a pleasant interior.

Everything is good. Very fresh! Great Turkey sandwich! Great bread! My Daughter is a student at Cornell. Every time I come and visit her I insist that we must go here at least three or four times. I asked her why she doesn’t come here more often? she says because it’s so busy. Well of course it’s busy it’s really really good! It’s worth it.

First time visiting. Took my parents and daughter here and blown away with the options this place have with sandwiches, pastries, coffee drinks and foods you can buy. I like that they have breakfast all day and after 2pm it was great to get Todd’s Morning Glory, a pastrami egg cheese spinach and ground mustard on focaccia sandwich. The bread was perfectly soft with these wonderful ingredients. Enjoyed the cold brew with it. Took home a cannoli which had a perfect shell, ricotta and chocolate chip filling.

Went here for killing some time for a pitstop brunch with my friend. Been here for a year in Ithaca but this was my first time going to Ithaca Bakery and I regret it! Really love the Sunday morning vibe here and the plenty of choices of food and drinks they serve. I already had my breakfast so I ordered the Butter Cookie Chai which was so good and affordable as they served it in a large-sized cup. Was thinking to try their pastries or desserts next time! My friend got the Brain Power bowl with yummy ahi tuna, avocado, grapes, goat cheese, quinoa, and other fresh toppings. It was so good! I’m leaving Ithaca this week and would love to go there for a breakfast pitstop before driving to the city. Oh, I would say they have a huge restroom inside, plenty of seats inside and outside, and the queue might be confusing at first like where do we make a line for sandwiches, coffee, and else but they have pretty detailed instruction being put in the queue. Must-try place as they have been serving for 100 years if I’m not mistaken? What a legend!
