This is the second time I've visited, and I've never had trouble finding a seat…read more I got the Cafe Latte with Hazelnut, and it came quickly. Both I and my partner got paninis, which took about 15 minutes, which felt like a bit too long for a counter service place, though I understand that paninis take time. The BLT panini was a bit greasy, but overall the flavor was good. The Chick-fil-a panini was not as greasy, but overall underwhelming. It was served in a classic American basket with chips, which felt out of place for a Cafe inspired by Italy. They primarily serve pastries, but I have never tried any of them. The coffee was very good... on Google this is the first place that pops up if you search for affogato in the area but they do NOT serve affogato, which I knew coming in due to having been here before, but just putting this in here in case anyone else is looking for an affogato spot! The Cafe is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking... doesn't feel very pedestrian friendly but there is a beautiful terrace for customers which adds to the European vibe.

Their breakfast options are convenient and satisfying whether you grab one of the ready to go breakfast sandwiches or a warm breakfast bowl. Both are always delicious and perfect for a quick start to the morning. If you're lucky enough to catch their homemade brownies, don't pass them up they're honestly some of the best I've ever had, perfectly fudgy and rich. The Java Shop also serves lunch and has a roomy, comfortable dining area that's great for sitting down if you have time to relax. I highly recommend stopping by The Java Shop for a quick coffee run, a bite before work, or even lunch with friends. It's local, friendly, and always hits the spot.

Muju, located on the corner of Champlin Ave and Caroline St in Utica, is a unique eatery and…read morecommunity hub that offers a blend of Nepali and Asian cuisine. The menu features a variety of snacks, boba tea, and traditional Nepali dishes like momos and chowmein, all prepared with fresh, authentic ingredients. The wife and I kinda stumbled upon Muju while in the area. We were heading somewhere else to eat, which happened to be closed, and we came upon Muju around the corner, saw the good reviews, and decided to give it a try. And we were glad we did. It's definitely an interesting place - you can order food at the front counter, there are tables to sit and eat, but then also an international grocery store in the middle of the building. We both ordered a tea, some Nepali spicy chicken chow mein, and an order of fried pork momo, which are their version of gyoza, or dumplings. Our food was delicious. The spicy chow mein definitely had a kick to it, but was very good. Dumplings are one of my absolute favorite foods, I usually prefer the thinner wrappers over the thicker ones - there were the thicker ones, but they were cooked so perfectly it didn't matter. Crispy outside, the meat filling inside was delicious. We're not in Utica often, but we'd definitely go back again if we were in the area,

You can get them steamed or fried in a variety of different styles/sauces. They also serve some noodle dishes and other foods and bubble teas. There are aisles of groceries from various countries, and a few chairs and tables in case you want to dine in. Also some fun miscellaneous import items. They really try to bring in a community here and welcome folks from all parts of the world. The owners collaborate with other internationally-born chefs and have other ventures like a meal sharing service app and grocery delivery. They're doing really amazing things and are worth checking out!
