Willie’s Gourmet Cafe

I think out of all the places I've tried around Utica this has to be the best place. Their food is amazing, nothing special, or unique, it's just really good, and fast. The atmosphere, and service isn't anything special, but the people are really nice, and helpful with the orders. And it has a fine seating while you eat.

Staff very friendly, Bagels breakfast 😋
Clean, the only place I'll buy a breakfast bagel. Great coffee too.
Definitely recommend this spot.
Love ❤ the baconeggandcheese on a toasted raisin cinnamon bagel yum 😋

Always nice to get a fresh and delicious bagel when you are in the mood. Very good quality !

The bagels/sandwiches are outstanding. I must say, I had the best cup of coffee that I've had in a while. The man making my coffee stirred my "light and sweet" Joe and did not let all that sugary sweetness stay on the bottom. That is very special to me!!!

Best bagel's in our area!! Not only are they fresh every single day, but every flavor I've tried is incredible along with their cream cheese flavor's. My absolute addiction is their bagel breakfast sandwiches, but anything they make is delicious & fantastic!!

We stopped in yesterday to grab breakfast and this will be our go-to for a bagel sandwich from now on. Everything was made freshly and tasted amazing!

The Willie's bagels we all know and love now at their second location! Keep up the great work!

bagels are outstanding, even when compared to nyc bagel places. their bagel sandwiches and their bagel breakfast sandwiches are great! they have their own cream cheese spreads in all sorts - including jalapeno. i wish they sold Florida's natural oj instead of Tropicana. extra special bonus: their chicken salad doesn't have all the weird cranberries, walnuts, strawberries, etc - they kept it on savory side.

Excellent fresh veggie omelet. Bagel was toasted just right.

Got the BLT on sesame bagel. Ugh it's SO good, I'm so glad they opened a more convenient and larger location. Other bagel places don't compare.

Great bagels, great service. great atmosphere. Love it.

I've been a few times now and had a few items. I've been very happy with the quality of the staff and the food. I highly recommend this place Also, make sure you get the coffee. it's great.

I got an everything bagel with lox and it reached the standard of what I would consider the typical NY style of bagel. They applied what I consider the ideal ratio of cream cheese to lox and tomato. I will come back to try some of their more personalized sandwiches.

They put the wrong meat on my breakfast sandwich but was still delicious.

These guys are great and we are so happy to have a second location where we can enjoy their food. I am so happy that they have a good amount of seating in the new spot! Nothing better than a trip to Willie's on a weekend morning. ❤

Willie's are the best bagels and Flagels "Flat Bagels". Period. He and his family have come from LI, where I would stop to get his Flagels by the dozen, everytime I visited. Now, he has his own places in Utica.. and it is worth the trip. Call ahead . Place your order and pick up. Fresh baked for larger orders. I slice them and freeze them.
I'm sure everything else is just as good, but I'm a Willie's flat bagel fanatic.

Breakfast bagel was really good.

The food was great, the decor was awesome! They had religious music playing pretty loud which was kind of annoying but otherwise it was a really good place to eat.

Outstanding bagels and house made cream cheeses

Great place for a quick morning bite.
Update: There are now two locations, both serving great bagel sandwiches and other delightful treats.
