    Velvet Coffee and an Americano
    Annie F.

    This place is a coffee lover's dream! Don't be like me though and get coffee to-go on your first visit. Order your drinks and pastries, and have a seat. The experience and presentation will be worth it! When I visited for the second time, I decided it was time to truly experience Joseph Putrello's incredible coffee coconcoctions. I ordered the Velvet Coffee - whipped espresso and ice with the choice of vanilla, caramel or pistachio syrup. I asked if they could do the cherry syrup instead since I saw it was used in another drink and thankfully they said yes. It was served in a martini glass and was not only picturesque but incredibly delicious too. I highly recommend trying one of their coffee specialty drinks. Next time, I'll definitely order a pastry. The barista said many of them are filled to order. Overall, Joseph Putrello is a gem if you're a coffee lover!

    I feel like this is a coffee bar where you get the best experience if you stay. Many of the drinks are made to be served in a cocktail glass. Alas, the seating area does not have outlets, so we could not stay for a day of studying. I got the bicherin with an extra shot of espresso for a total of 3 shots. It's an interesting drink, with chocolate, heavy cream, and the espresso had an almost fruity flavor to it? It was a pretty good drink. That being said, it ran me $10 and didn't even fill up the to-go cup it was in (I see why they tend to serve in cocktail glasses). It was very rich. It was neither hot nor cold as the heavy cream isn't warmed before being added to the hot espresso. Overall, I'd come back with my laptop charged as the space is really pretty. But I will also mentally prepare for a pricey drink.

    Cappuccino Fantasy and Cafesino

    A literal WOW every time we go. Always an absolute pleasure! We've almost tried everything on the menu!

    These people have a great social media presence! I live 2 hours away and have dreaming about going here since I 1st saw their posts on a 518 restaurant Facebook group. When I found out I'd be driving through the area, I knew this would be my 1st stop. On a Sunday morning, I easily found street parking. The barista recommended the caramelcinno (spelling?) and it was delicious and had the best presentation. The space is bright and open. I got a window seat on the upper floor to enjoy my coffee and my book. Will absolutely be back!

    Bambalinoa - less a bite
    Steven H.

    First visit, and it was great. The service was excellent. We tried both the hot and cold chocolate drinks and they were loved. We also had a cappuccino and pumpkin spice latte which were excellent. I had a bambalinoa with vanilla filling - fantastic and would recommend a visit just for this even if not stopping in for a coffee. Yep, a little more expensive than your average place but well worth it. We will be back (a few times) during our visit here.

    Superbly decorated minimal space. Wonderful menu and it was nice to watch them make the drinks from the second floor balcony with seating. The strawberry drink, peach drink and the velvet coffee duo were all beautifully prepared and tasted fantastic. I was happy to find this cafe & will return when back in the area.

    Very mid century modern style. The girl who worked there was lovely. It was delicious and exceeded my expectations. Only complaint was it was a bit pricey for the size of it and you couldn't add tip.

    Great spot for expresso done the right way. I was initially going for a double, but then I saw they have affogato, vanilla ice cream with coffee, so I ended up with a single and a dessert (AND a spinach pastry). Very nice atmosphere and use of the space they have, will be back next time I'm in Utica.

    Have been eying this place on social media for a long time and was so excited when I knew I would be around the corner from them!!! It was absolutely amazing and I wish I could have tried everything on the menu!

    Bicerin

    Outstanding! It's not just a coffee it's an experience wish I could go often. I will be back to try something else new

    Blackberry & Cream
    Mina B.

    not a coffee person, so was very happy to see flavored milk options on the menu! always happy to see something a little different being offered. i got the blackberry & cream drink (milk blended with ice and blackberry syrup with whipped cream on top) and a cannoli. both were very good, i'd make the trip back just for the drink. not too sweet, very strong blackberry flavor. gorgeous shop, but i didn't stay since i came too close to closing. service was quick

    Bicerin

    Joseph Putrello Coffee is hands down the best place for coffee in Utica,NY. The atmosphere is amazing and has a welcoming feeling. customer service is very quick! I definitely recommend the Bicerin.

    It's so nice to have a coffee shop in the neighborhood! Their drink menu has something for…read moreeveryone, but on this particular day I opted for a cold brew with pumpkin pie flavoring - highly recommend! They also usually have some tasty looking pastries on hand. Today I got a cheese danish and will definitely get that again. The coffee shop itself is very cute, nicely decorated, and has a calming quality to it. The staff are always very nice and always serve up great coffees. Grab a drink to go or stay a while and check out their book selection, too!

    Absolutely darling! This is a hidden gem that locals understand. It's across from the gronion…read more(green onion) and it's awesome. Lots of seating, outstanding service with a smile and cute quaint little gift items for purchase. They always have seasonal flavors and cool sodas to try. There's a community board with activities to check out. You can get coffees for here which we appreciate because less waste and it's fun to drink from an actual cup lol. Sitting outside is awesome too. There's a couple loft areas too. Check it out. Excellent chai! Play area for the kids that's small and simple and options for them like oatmeal and applesauce. Their baked goods are yummy while they last and the scones are fantastic. If you want loud boujee or a playground- go somewhere else. This is a nice comfortable quiet place to relax and let your well behaved kid play nicely while you sip delicious coffee! Never a bad experience here
