Collegetown Bagels

With both Cornell University and Ithaca College inside its borders, Ithaca, New York, is definitely a college town. And since 1976, the family-owned Collegetown Bagels has been THE place for college students, their families, and locals alike to enjoy fresh bagels, breads, and baked goods, all baked from scratch in-house daily at each of their seven restaurants.

Collegetown Bagels (or CTB as it’s known locally) is a beloved hangout in the community. For countless students, memories were made here over a late-night pizza bagel and pint (and an early morning hangover-busting bagel and lox), and their sandwiches and desserts bring in crowds at all hours of the day. It’s a nostalgic taste of college and one of the best bagel shops you’ll find anywhere, and it’s shipping nationwide!
