We lived in this area and visited Holland Farms frequently. We moved downstate five years ago and…read moreit wasn't until we visited again yesterday that I truly appreciated what an absolute gem Holland Farms is. There's absolutely no place like it. Everything is so fresh and beautifully displayed. The employees are beyond friendly. The halfmoons are the epitome of deliciousness. Amazing tomato pie! The list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and try a jelly bun! I promise you won't be disappointed. I may only get here once a year now, but it's definitely worth the 3.5 hour drive!

More than ten years ago I said:…read more Hopefully, I'll get another chance to come here and try more of their offerings. I can see a fifth star in their future. Well, I returned to Utica and came back to Florentine Pastry Shop as promised. But you know what? All I had eyes for were their Pasticciotti. So I ordered two "pusties". One vanilla and one chocolate. They are magnificent. Simple and humble to be sure. But crisp and tender pastry stuffed with plenty of creamy, custardy, true-to-flavor filling. I can't stop thinking about them. And there is absolutely no reason to deprive a bakery of a full five stars based solely on their specialty item and noting else. The pusties are so good, I'm going to ignore the fact that I saw a full sheet of pre-filled cannoli in the case. Florentine Pastry Shop is a regional gem and a historical treasure. It's well worth the detour from the highway should you find yourself driving past Utica.

Initially discovered Knead to Eat Bakery & Cafe, located at 53 Franklin St in Utica, while ordering…read moreon DoorDash, and later visited in person because of the great food. The café is located right next to Nancy Ford Photography. It can be a bit difficult to spot due to limited visibility, but parking itself is not an issue. There are shared slanted parking spots in front with neighboring businesses, as well as additional parking available behind the restaurant, which is convenient once you know it is there. The interior is hip, bright, and welcoming. Seating is somewhat limited, but despite that, we were always able to find a place to sit without having to wait. The space feels modern and casual, suitable for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. The food was good overall and service was fast. We ordered the Pancake Board, Spin Art, and a veggie omelette. The Spin Art was my favorite. It was soft, flavorful, and melted in the mouth. The Pancake Board was extremely well executed and fun to share, and the veggie omelette was solid. Coffee, however, was not their strongest item. One nice touch is that water is free and self-serve, which is always appreciated. It can get crowded inside on Saturdays, and since there is no outdoor seating, the moderate ambient noise from other customers makes it less ideal for long conversations or quiet chats. Doug, the owner, was friendly and genuinely eager to help when I had an issue using my $5 off "cupcake points." Although he was not able to resolve it immediately, he did eventually figure it out, so I will be using the coupon on my next visit. Overall, this is a solid local spot with good food, efficient service, and a welcoming vibe. Recommended, especially if you plan ahead for peak weekend hours. Keep up the good work, Knead to Eat Bakery & Cafe.

Another day, another microwaved egg…read more The E isn't the only thing missing from this place. Not all hope is lost though, they break out the plug-in griddle on weekends. 120 volts to egg freedom- that's when they will actually fry an egg. Today they fried my nerves, and to make the sandwich even less egg-cellent they put TWO TINY LINKS for the sausage on a sausage egg and cheese. Not appetizing. The owners response- " Been doin it that way 20 years" Great customer service, Pal. That doesn't mean you've done it RIGHT for 20 years. The workers were sweethearts, I don't blame It on them whatsoever.

It pains me to write this review as Wendy, the business owner, seems like such a nice woman…read more Unfortunately the cake that she made for my wedding was awful - it was the sore thumb in an otherwise remarkable day. The cake itself was dry, the icing was sloppy, and the whole thing was crooked - all to the tune of over $300. When Wendy delivered the cake she mentioned that it had "shifted" in transit, but I was having my hair done at the time, so I was unable to get a look at it before she left - not that seeing it then why'd have fixed anything. Later she was tagged in a wedding photo of the cake the clearly showed the tilt, and when people pointed it out, she dismissed it as an optical illusion. She claimed that it only "looked" crooked because of mirrors flanking the cake, though she had earlier admitted to me that it had shifted. She then untagged her business from the photo so that it would not appear in her photos. I've never addressed the issue with her as I just assume not deal with the "optical illusion" defense that would only make me more bitter over the whole thing. However, I would always recommend that people go elsewhere for their cakes. In this case, I truthfully believe I would have been better served with grocery store cupcakes on a tiered display.

Was hoping to grab a dessert and scope it out for Easter Desserts. I had been by before but missed them as they were closed. I was disappointed in the dessert selection but they seemed to be doing alot of breakfast sandwiches and coffee which looked delicious though I had already had breakfast. I did order a brownie to go which was good but was nothing special. Pricing for what you get is a bit steep as my brownie was almost six dollars. They also had a selection of candy and handcrafted items which added to the charm. I will probably give them sometime to settle in before going back. Parking can be tricky here but they do have street parking available
