When I called to order this the young lady was extremely helpful and informative. So the ordering was very easy. However, I was shocked they didn't take a deposit over the phone. When I arrived I was shocked this was the Florentines everyone spoke so highly about. It's a very old small bakery in the heart of Utica. Walking in there were little to no pastries. I wanted to buy some but then again I am glad that I didn't have to indulge in too many sweets. The end result - the cake was worth the drive. It was amazing! Extremely moist and tons of flavor. The kiddos did not like it bc it wasn't sweet enough for them but perfect for us adults.

Another little tip, if you go right as they close, they will give you a ton of free or discounted treats.

We ordered the chocolate, blueberry, and plain glazed donut holes. I enjoyed all of them equally. Although, I will have to agree the blueberry glaze was the best, haha. Another cousin felt the chocolate was a delight. Then another enjoyed the plain glaze. All the donut holes were fluffy, moist, buttery, and had so much flavor. The coffee was not bad, then again, the coffee was not for me. The coffee was my aunt's go-to. She loved her regular go-to coffee order. You probably could find or customize a coffee to your liking.
