I had one of the best soft serve ice creams at the Ice Cream Factory. Rich, creamy, sweet, but not…read moreoverwhelmingly so, it was in a league above 99% of what I've had, which seem like thin shadows of the "real" thing here. We stuck with classic flavors and ordered a twist, which was half chocolate and half vanilla. They did, however, offer black raspberry, bubble gum, and sugar-feee vanilla soft serve flavors as well. The medium-sized cup ($3.95) was more than enough for two to share. There is a longer list of hard ice cream flavors, such as white lightening and kaluah almond amoretto, and sundaes that sound delectable. The high-quality desserts, along with the generous portions for great value, make this a spot worth returning to for further exploration.

It's a chill casual local hangout and not fancy but just what you want for a relaxing morning. There's papers you can read and you're able to sit outside if you'd like. The owner is friendly and when he's there, he welcomes you. The egg wraps are simple yet delicious and there's options for tea and smoothies if coffee isn't your favorite. Just a standard coffee joint that is friendly and yummy.

Craving dessert after lunch, my husband and I decided to try Daylight Donuts after driving past it…read morecountless times. A huge donut fan, I generally like to try at least one yeast donut and one cake donut when discovering a new donut shop. I opted for the chocolate frosted donut (yeast) and sour cream donut (cake). Both were absolutely delicious. While certainly sweet, both didn't feel super heavy in the way that sometimes a heavily glazed and overly saccharine cakey donut can taste. I slightly preferred the sour cream donut, which I can now understand why is one of their bestsellers. Once I got to the car, I realized that the friendly lady at the shop had threw in an extra chocolate cake donut, either by accident or intentionally. It was delicious too. At $1.50 each, the donuts are exceedingly reasonably priced. There is a credit card fee.

I usually like to jot down a few notes when I hit up a business, just so I remember what to write…read moreabout in my review later. I'm only sharing this because the note I left myself after eating at Nicky Doodles was: "Utica, bitches." That's right. This is Utica. It's technically New Hartford I guess, but it's as close to Utica as I've ever really gotten. And you know what? I'd come back. Nicky Doodles is basically just a roadside burger stand. It's not fancy, but it hits the spot. I had a burger, my kids had chicken fingers, and we all had fries and ice cream. And all of it tasted good, and it was served up by some nice girls in the window. There's nothing I'd like to change except the fact that one of my kids just seems to use food as a spoon for ketchup. Maybe she'll grow out of it?

Woody's Ice Cream Place is a great place to stop for a good variety of ice cream treats…read more Located in a small shopping plaza in Herkimer, this family owned & operated landmark offers over 20 flavors of Turkey Hill hard ice cream and also Upstate Farms soft serve ice cream, serving up cones, cups, sundaes, shakes, malts, freezes, and other cold treats including the Boston shake, which is part shake on the bottom and ice cream sundae on top. The place has an inside counter area with indoor seating with air conditioned comfort. There's also an outside order window and a few purple picnic tables in front (no smoking is allowed in front of the shop, so others can enjoy their ice cream. This is a great rule). I stopped here recently on a very hot Saturday night. Since just ate dinner at a nearby restaurant, I decided to order my dessert at Woody's. I got a double scoop of Colombian Coffee hard ice cream cone, which came out to about $3 and change. The ice cream cone was pretty big and a very refreshing treat for dessert. I will definitely have to return to Woody's for a Boston shake on my next visit to Herkimer. CASH ONLY

It looked like they were put together by a 12 year old. I wont be special ordering from this bakery again. Besides looking terrible, the flavors were not mixed and we were missing 12 cupcakes from the order of 36. It was supposed to come on a large gold platter, but came in a small cake box & looked terrible. The worker apologized and gave us 12 free cupcakes so we had enough for the party, but it was a waste of time for me to special order cupcakes in the shape of a 70 when I could've just bought them pre-made and it would've looked better.
