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!

Check out Wicked Sweets on Facebook so you can always see what macarons are on for the week! I…read moreended up stopping by today because I was tempted by a Facebook post for the fruity pebbles macaron and ended up leaving with one of those, 3 other macarons, and a peanut butter cookie with peanut butter and chocolate on top. Everything was fantastic. While I was there I noticed she also sells coffee, so made a mental note to stop in earlier some day to grab my morning coffee there! Inside is super cute, very clean, and the decor and pink touches are perfect. Everything was quick, professional and friendly. Stop in and see what she's got!

Alyssa made a birthday cake for my granddaughter who was 6 on Thanksgiving. We needed a vegan cake…read more the cake we got was awesome! It was decorated with mermaid scales and I added figures to the top. It tasted wonderful! Best of all is my granddaughter was thrilled to get a big, fancy cake for her birthday. I'm grateful that I found Wicked Sweets by Alyssa and I plan on ordering another vegan cake for my other granddaughter in December. Alyssa was very cheerful and helpful. I highly recommend Wicked Sweets

Utica Bread purchased Hemstrought's Bakeries. This location sells items from a cheese company…read morealong with Hemstrought cookies and half moons along with Utica Bread and Pastries. Love this location as it is larger and is the main bakery and they tend to have more of a selection. However, I got there early this morning and was shocked to see lot crowded with lots of out of state cars. Realized it was the Boilermaker weekend which brings in a large number of people. Can't complain as I got the loaf of bread I came in for. Love their italian bread.

I placed an online order on March 23 for a special event and was charged immediately. Over the…read morefollowing weeks, I contacted the bakery multiple times and was repeatedly told the order had been made and shipped. Despite those assurances, I never received any shipping confirmation or tracking information--and the order never arrived. Because of this, we had to scramble at the last minute to replace the items for our event, which was both stressful and avoidable. The most concerning part of this experience was not just the failure to deliver, but the repeated claims that the order had shipped when it clearly had not, combined with a lack of ownership throughout the process. Multiple messages and calls went unanswered or unresolved, and no one proactively followed up. I also reached out directly to ownership and received no response. After nearly a month, a refund was finally issued--but only after continued persistence on my end. Polite interactions aside, the overall experience showed a serious breakdown in communication, accountability, and basic customer service. I would strongly encourage others to proceed with caution.

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.

Smells so good in there that I was breathing deeply with every breath hahaha. We got the focaccia bread and snagged that last cinnamon bun. I'm super picky about my cinnamon buns because I feel like most places drench it with that sticky white frost to balance out the dried out bread. This was hands down the best cinnamon bun I've ever had. It was moist, a nice punch of cinnamon hugged the sides of the swirl, and it was perfectly sticky. It was so substantial that I had leftovers for the next day and it was such a treat.

Cadynce LOVED her "get well" surprise :) I would DEFINATELY recommend NOTHING BUNDT CAKES to everyone, you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks again to the NOTHING BUNDT CAKES owners and staff. Take care. Tracey Ingalls

The tiramisu felt like it was missing something but I still ate the entire thing. Chai was tasty and I finished it as well. I did come here to study and other reviews say there is ample plugs. There is NOT. There is one in the corner and one lady camped on it the entire time. The other plug available was gapping a door from the table so you would have people tripping over your cord ALL day. Overall...not a great place to come study unless you get there first.
