I ordered a cappuccino, which was just okay, my wife had an iced coffee and thought it was okay as well, and my kids ordered hot chocolate, which they described as "mid."

Okay so this particular establishment is currently doing a Yelp experience which I will be…read moreparticipating in 4 days from now, but I wanted to sneak in early kind of incognito more or less just a check the place out as a random everyday customer. First off it was super easy to find, I was a little disappointed because there wasn't very much parking out front however once I went in and saw that there was a back door with a huge parking lot, yeah I got over that pretty quick. It's a small little coffee shop, I think there was maybe five or six tables in a dining area, a couple of tables on the sidewalk out front, and a small counter in the back with three people very busily working making the espressos and the cappuccinos etc.. I didn't catch the name but the lady I was talking to behind the counter was very pleasant, and seemed like she actually enjoyed being there which I'm saying because a lot of places I go you can tell with the people that work there are just in a bad mood maybe they don't want to be where they're at.. she seemed like she was enjoying herself. (If that makes any sense at all) They have a very small selection of pastries and donuts and stuff on the counter, I kind of expected it to be a little larger and the girl and I were talking about it she said that another hour from now they will get a delivery even though there will be more stuff it'll all still fit in that little display case. I mean it's not a bad thing, they mainly serve the caffeinated things, these are just little pastries to go with it, not like I was at a donut shop... I grabbed a few macaroons, a pistachio muffin and a little coconut pie thingy. I haven't tried any of it yet but it definitely looked good, then I'm going to go on the assumption that it is, so if I don't come back and update this, everything tasted wonderful. The place itself was super clean inside, very well lit, and like I said everybody seem to be having a good time. The only thing I could maybe count as a downside is that for what I purchased, without tasting anything yet, seemed a bit pricey... However... My business brain sometimes kicks in and I can imagine how much it cost to rent that little corner of that building, in New Hartford New York which is a buried decent upscale section to be in for that area plus they're overhead, and the amount of product that they could possibly move being a smaller store so yeah with all that, the price is what it is. I'll definitely come back, in fact I'll come back in 4 days because I'm participating in the Yelp experience thing, and I'm looking forward to it. Some of the drinks I was watching them make looked rather delicious.

We went at around 11am on a Saturday, place wasn't dead but also wasn't swamped. Easy to find, and…read morelots of parking in the back. We ordered a Lavender Haze Latte, Pistachio Matcha, and a Lemon Pustie. It was my first time trying a pustie, and it was very soft and delicious. Both drinks were also delicious and came out fairly quickly. The vibe of the cafe is very modern, which is not quite my style, and it was also a bit overpriced for coffee in my opinion, but my partner loved the Pistachio Matcha so much that we are already planning on returning.

The workers were sweethearts, I don't blame It on them whatsoever.

There was some nice tables outside too but it was a bit cold. The staff was seriously killing it for how busy it was and doing it with a smile. I started with a absolutely delicious iced apple butter latte. For my meal I was looking for a combo of sweet and savory not realizing how generously large the portions were for the price (which is amazing). Needless to say I took quite a bit home. I had the breakfast pizza with added vegetables and the "Made in Utica Crepe" which came with a whole freaking cannoli on top.... it was one of the favorite breakfasts I have ever had anywhere. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals and different coffees at well. If you are not looking to dine in you can order simple pastries from the vast case or coffees to go. I took home some cream puffs for my family which were delicious and large. Cant wait to come back here again and again when I am in town!

Initially discovered Knead to Eat Bakery & Cafe, located at 53 Franklin St in Utica, while ordering…read moreon DoorDash, and later visited in person because of the great food. The café is located right next to Nancy Ford Photography. It can be a bit difficult to spot due to limited visibility, but parking itself is not an issue. There are shared slanted parking spots in front with neighboring businesses, as well as additional parking available behind the restaurant, which is convenient once you know it is there. The interior is hip, bright, and welcoming. Seating is somewhat limited, but despite that, we were always able to find a place to sit without having to wait. The space feels modern and casual, suitable for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. The food was good overall and service was fast. We ordered the Pancake Board, Spin Art, and a veggie omelette. The Spin Art was my favorite. It was soft, flavorful, and melted in the mouth. The Pancake Board was extremely well executed and fun to share, and the veggie omelette was solid. Coffee, however, was not their strongest item. One nice touch is that water is free and self-serve, which is always appreciated. It can get crowded inside on Saturdays, and since there is no outdoor seating, the moderate ambient noise from other customers makes it less ideal for long conversations or quiet chats. Doug, the owner, was friendly and genuinely eager to help when I had an issue using my $5 off "cupcake points." Although he was not able to resolve it immediately, he did eventually figure it out, so I will be using the coupon on my next visit. Overall, this is a solid local spot with good food, efficient service, and a welcoming vibe. Recommended, especially if you plan ahead for peak weekend hours. Keep up the good work, Knead to Eat Bakery & Cafe.

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.
