This is a wonderful bagel shop that I want to have it nearby.
Want to pretend like you're in the 80's with a dial-up modem that only connects some of the times? Come to CTB! Seriously: in modern times, wireless is an important service provided by coffee shops. People come to have a coffee and get a little work done. You cannot do that here. They have clearly made a deliberate choice not to pay for decent wireless service that is available at every other cafe, because this is a problem at all of their locations. In fact, at the college town location, their customers are using Cornell wireless when possible, which is quite dishonest. They **nominally** have wireless, but as a former regular customer, I can honestly say that it will only connect about half the time, and of that, only connects with a fast enough speed to display a basic web page about half the time.
Sandwiches and croissant always burnt.waited 1/2 the last time, haven't been back
I was in Ithaca for 3 days and I ate here everyday. Delicious food, great selection, and excellent service. I would rate this 5 stars but it’s a bit pricey considering the portion size.
My favorite coffee shop in Ithaca, but their WiFi has been iffy for months (November 2023 now). I sure hope they will try to fix it so I can return.
I had a sandwich on a za’atar bagel and it was great, very fresh and tasty. Their white pumpkin mocha was great too, the portion is awesome for the price!
Bagels were really great. Very fresh and very filling in both the breakfast sandwich and the lox. I don't think I would get the matcha again; should have just stuck to a coffee or latte.
