Ithaca Bakery

Ithaca Bakery runs two storefronts — on North Meadow Street and at Triphammer Marketplace — built around a bakery-and-deli menu that stretches from bagels and artisan bread to made-daily soups: Chicken & Rice, Cream of Tomato with Basil, Italian Wedding, Minestrone and Sloppy Joe rotate through the case alongside sandwiches and salads. Cakes, including custom and wedding orders, come out of the North Meadow Street kitchen, which also anchors a wholesale operation and a dedicated catering-to-go division separate from the walk-in counter. The bakery identifies itself as a Living Wage Employer and points to sustainability practices and community-giving work as part of how it runs the business, alongside a Rewards Club for repeat customers. It's related to Collegetown Bagels, a sibling operation under the same ownership, and takes online orders for takeout, delivery and curbside pickup — a bakery built as much around daily rotation as around any single showpiece item.
