They have the best coffee in town hands down! They put heart and soul into every specialty coffee on their menu & they have the best scones in the world!! I don't have just one favorite I absolutely adore their vanilla & caramel latte and their mocha.

Foodie Spots
1. This spot is my top favorite spot in Utica, I have never had a bad anything here. Every meal, appetizer, dessert they make is done to perfection. It's also a super classy but chill environment for comfortable dining. They have been on the top 100 for Restaurants in America on Open Table two years in a row now. Best to make a reservation as they do fill up fast.

2. This would be my second favorite spot in Utica, they have the best sangrias year round and in the summer their wine slushies are amazing. They are a classy but laid back spot with very yummy menu options.Very good spot for brunch as well & in the summer they have a beautiful patio that is perfect for lounging and socializing.

I'm a sucker for a good bagel and this place serves up my favorite New York bagel! Toasted with butter, flavored bagel with cream cheese, their breakfast sandwich or the cheddar cheese melt (my absolute fav) you will not regret popping in for a quick meal here or grab a dozen bagels to go and pop them in the toaster throughout your stay here.
