Willie's Bagel Cafe: A Must-Try Bagel Experience in Utica, NY

Such a great spot. At first glance, you wouldn't think much of it but they have some really good food. Friendly staff with good service and the Tuna and provolone bagel that they made for me really hit the spot.

We dropped in an hour before closing, halfway on our road trip from Toronto to Boston. Can't say enough good things. Food was fresh, staff were Profesional, courteous and personable, more so because they were cleaning up to close. Food was solid, tasty, fresh and delicious. If you're passing by on the way somewhere, pop in, it's right off the highway and easy to get back on again. You won't be disappointed.

Great place! Even for take out! Passed by for a lacrosse tournament. The line was literally going out the door but the young (she’s also beautiful) Dominican woman up front was handling her business! It was crowded, but orders were being pumped out nonstop, and I got my food quickly Great place and it’s worth the little five minute wait. Apparently you can order ahead too.

This place is such a hidden gem. The bagels are so fresh, soft and the right amount of chewy. They're great plain, with cream cheese (of which they have a variety of flavors which are also homemade), or with any sandwich combination (including breakfast or lunch varieties). Even the next day they were to die for and still super soft. Lots of dif flavor bagels, including a delicious blueberry one and really cute plain unicorn bagels. They also have other offerings, like an amazing looking French toast that I can't wait to try, croissants, pastries, & more. A great place for breakfast, lunch, or in between & a definite must try.

Called an order in early 7am drove down took about 15 minutes. 2 bagel ham and egg and cheese breakfast bagels and an order of loaded home fries . Greeted by pleasant staff order ready as always. Everything was delicious, the loaded home fries had real cooked potatoes and real bacon and cheese .

Such a pleasant place to get break from even if you’re starting late. I had the bacon egg and cheese on onion bagel with a French vanilla iced coffee. Fair prices for a superior quality. Convenient if you’re staying @ the Red Roof Inn , it’s literally located just at the front of the property. Also located next to the Mohawk River walk . I look forward to returning .

Great assortment of bagels. Cream cheeses are delicious.

Willie’s Bagel Cafe is a gem! It is open early, it is along the Empire State Trail and it makes staying at the Red Roof Inn that much more desirable! My Southwestern omelette was fantastic, but sandwiching it in the middle of a jalapeño bagel was just a masterpiece! Quick and enjoyable, this is the proper way to begin a day of cycling!
