You will not find this quality anywhere outside Italy, including All over NYC which simply cannot match the authenticity & flavor of their SUPERB Rum Cake, Paticceria "Pusties" & The Utterly Exquisite Italian Almond Paste Cookies That Were A Favorite Of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.

I drove all the way from Albany to Utica to get my boyfriend a rum cake for his birthday. They are…read morehis favorite. When I called to order this the young lady was extremely helpful and informative. So the ordering was very easy. However, I was shocked they didn't take a deposit over the phone. When I arrived I was shocked this was the Florentines everyone spoke so highly about. It's a very old small bakery in the heart of Utica. Walking in there were little to no pastries. I wanted to buy some but then again I am glad that I didn't have to indulge in too many sweets. The end result - the cake was worth the drive. It was amazing! Extremely moist and tons of flavor. The kiddos did not like it bc it wasn't sweet enough for them but perfect for us adults.

Cookies are out of the world good. Very Friendly and fast service. Even during the holiday rush.read more

Have been to pick up baked goodies and to a Yelp event they catered this summer. Went for lunch…read moretoday and it was amazing. Wish I could give more than five stars as the food and flavors reminded me of France or food by Ina Garten. The Grilled Ham and Gruyère Cheese Sandwich on a crispy crunchy Sourdough bread was delicious. Waitress brought over some Dijon Aioli which really took this sandwich to the next level. The side salad was a meal in and of itself. Loved the dressing that came with it. The classic Turkey was no slouch either. Ingredients were fresh with just the right amount of meat and complementary ingredients. Looking forward to coming back again and trying other menu items. So many items on the menu I would love to try that makes another visit a must. This quaint cafe is a great place to come for brunch or lunch. Staff were warm and friendly too. And of course we left with some yummy bake goods for later and a bag of homemade marshmallows for Hot Cocoa. Definitely a must visit Bakery and Cafe.

The don't have a huge staff due to size of space but they make up for it in kindness and smiles. Another little tip, if you go right as they close, they will give you a ton of free or discounted treats.

We ordered the chocolate, blueberry, and plain glazed donut holes. I enjoyed all of them equally. Although, I will have to agree the blueberry glaze was the best, haha. Another cousin felt the chocolate was a delight. Then another enjoyed the plain glaze. All the donut holes were fluffy, moist, buttery, and had so much flavor. The coffee was not bad, then again, the coffee was not for me. The coffee was my aunt's go-to. She loved her regular go-to coffee order. You probably could find or customize a coffee to your liking.
