Ithaca Bakery

You have to know what is good there because a lot of stuff that they make are just terrible. Before the pandemic, I used to wince at the sight of their catering food. If I was not starving, I'd skip all of them.

But then, lo and behold, I became a regular in the morning because they open early and have a nice dining space (plus on-site free parking, which is surprisingly not that common for coffee shops in the Ithaca area). Their latte is reliably decent and strong for me to work through the morning. I've sampled many of their pastry offerings and I dislike most of them with two notable exceptions: cannoli and apple puff. Those are actually good. I always take time to look through their pastry display case and will try new things when they have them.

Service is usually efficient and some employees are excellent.

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere.

We enjoyed an Avocado BLT and Salmon with snow peas. Delicious and healthy.

First time here and loved this place! Huge variety of foods and bakery items, and very fresh and delicious. Will definitely come back!
