Willie's Bagel Cafe - Utica

Let me start off by saying that I was having a bad day when I walked into this shop located in front of my hotel. It's a smaller shop off the beaten track by a mile or two and I might have missed it other wise. Anyway, I was looking for an easy option so I stepped into this shop. The first thing I saw was their rainbow bagels. My inner child was ecstatic! I've been bugging my significant other to take me to NYC to get a rainbow bagel for a while now. I promptly ordered one with eggs, bacon and cheese in it. Without exaggerating, this was the best bagel I've ever eaten in my life. It was fresh and had the right firmness. I ate it between alternate giggles and sighs of ambrosia. It was so good in fact that I am delaying leaving Utica for my home town so I can get a few rainbow bagels to share with my 4 year old daughter at home. Very pleased with this shop and would strongly recommend it to others!

Willy's catered the breakfast for the morning of my wedding and they did a wonderful job! I ordered coffee, eggs, breakfast meats, cheese, bagels and assorted cream cheese for 20 people and it was already for pick the morning of the wedding by 8am. They were so thoughtful and even provided tongs for the food service! The prices and quality of food cannot be beat.

Top notch sandwiches, made fresh. Bagels were on point, staff was super friendly, and it didn't take 15 minutes to get our sandwiches! So glad to not have to drive to South Utica for a killer bagel!

I have been there a bunch of times and I love it!!! I think I've tried 75% of there menu and everything is delicious!!! Rainbow bagels, bacon, egg and cheese bagels, french toast, Phillie cheese steak bagels those are just some of the things I've tried... Customer service is great ,always friendly and prices are very reasonable. I would give you guys an A+ ,
