Wish they would stay open past 2pm one a week but am happy they have moved from a five day week. Shop is so cute and like some of their others stores had a number of artisanal items. Left with a loaf of italian bread and a bagel. The bagel was awesome complete with french butter I had at home. I was so happy I final got the chance to try a bagel. Usually just leave with a loaf of bread. Highly recommend. Great place to buy items for a gourmet food basket

Based on its popularity, I was eager to try Utica Bread. One day I stopped in at around 1PM, and…read morethere were hardly any pastries left. Having learned my lesson, I arrived before 10AM on a second visit and was able to score an almond croissant. At $4.25, it was definitely on the higher end. I was disappointed to find that the almond croissant didn't have very much almond paste, and worse, it was not very laminated. Overall the dough texture was completely off as it was too soft and flaccid. Without sufficient frangipane and a somewhat tasteless dough, this was a bit of a chore to finish. The composition was just puzzling. I would not buy this particular pastry item again from Utica Bread. Almond croissant ($4.25)
