I went at around 3pm on a Saturday to get some pastries for a friend's gathering and chose this…read morespot due to the proximity to their place and also the reviews online. I am so glad I went! The pastries get freshly filled with filling upon your order, and they box it up so nicely! There are aeating benches for you to sit and wait for your order, which didn't take too long. I got 3 cannolis, 2 cream puffs, and 2 cookies (I got the last chocolate cookie of the day). Service was friendly and quick as well, only took about 10ish minutes! Everything tasted amazing! And best thing about them was that it was not too overly sweet! It was the perfect amount that makes me want to keep tasting more. The cookies especially were so satisfying and soft and I loved how everything was quite decent sized as well! I will definitely be coming back!

So when I am, I always stop by. The pastries are the best I've ever had. I am a lobster tail junkie. Whenever I'm in NY or Philly, I seek out the best. I've been to several famous Italian bakeries in these cities and never found one as good as Utica Bakery in Apex. It's world class. Just look at the cannoli cream and pistachio cream stuffing those bad boys. Their savory foods are equally as impressive. This stuffed bread with meatballs and Parmesan was excellent and I love their tomato pie (not pictured), which I have had in the past. Everything here is outstanding! If you're anywhere close on a weekend, get there asap.

The owner was super delightful and patient with my kiddos who had a ton of questions including how edible cookie dough is made!

Sadly, we learned today they'll be closing soon - be sure to check them out before they're closed for good!

Plus their drinks are incredible and the employees are efficient and friendly. Usually at a cafe I prefer either the drinks or the food. Here I can't decide which I like more and they have so many options to pick from. From divine baklava to decadent chocolate tarts and towering cakes paired with flowering teas and matcha lattes. Most recently I had my favorite chocolate tart with a pistachio saffron matcha latte. The latte was definitely the star and the saffron came through even when competing with the other strong flavors. Overall, highly recommend Asali and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Searching for Mille Feuille or Napoleon cake and after reading reviews, we decided to come to…read moreAsali. Ambiance was just average, lots of people working and studying occupied most tables, service is friendly, the Napoleon seemed to be old with strange texture with no flavor, my husband ordered a cheese cake and said the same thing. The only good thing was the tea, a little more than the regular Lipton black tea. It was a huge disappointment and we won't be back, spent almost $40 for two not good slices of cake, a pot of tea, totally not worth it! Food: 1 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3

I was the only one in line, waiting patiently for the teen to take my order. When she finally took my order, all went well, and it took a few minutes to get them made. 3 seemed the smallest amount you could order. They are a good size, so I don't think most people could eat three at once. The first one that was hot was good. But I didn't care for the one I had later that evening, as it didn't taste the same. They come covered in so much powdered sugar, so be warned that it will go everywhere. If I could order just one, I'd stop again, but I wouldn't order three again.
