Joseph Putrello Coffee Barista Bar 268 Genesee Street, Utica, NY 13502

"This place is amazing ! I got the “Frulatto Di Caffe”, and when I tell you it was phenomenal, believe me. The costumer service was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful. If you’re looking to relax while enjoying the most delicious coffee and pastries this is the place to be."

"I Recently Tried The "Frulatto Di Cafe" And I Can't Believe I Hadn't Tried It Before. I Was Really Pleased With My Choice, As It Didn't Disappoint. I Also Had A Warm Chocolate Croissant With It, Which Complemented Everything Perfectly. I Will Definitely Be Returning For More."

"Great atmosphere, attention to detail, creativity, and authenticity to what they serve. Nice to be able to get some of the classics you can find in Italy. Also, the experience from freshness to presentation of drinks, food, and flatware is on point."

"Wow, what an experience. As soon as we walked in we got a warm welcome with a little Italian hello. The menu had so many delicious coffee drinks to choose from. The details about every drink were well written on the menu and they also offer a QR code to scan to get a visual reference of the drinks. Jake was so kind and helpful with explaining the pastries they offered and was willing to answer any questions we had. After ordering everything we found a cute little table to sit at. This place is not a traditional coffee shop it is more like a lobby cafe with not a ton of seating so we did have to steal a chair and move the table a little for the four of us to sit together. But there is a nice upper seating area that looked cozy as well (mostly tables for two or three people). We got our pastries served to us first, they were so good we ate mostly everything before the coffee came. The fresh and very large cream puffs had so much delicious, light cream in them I think those were my favorite we got a regular and pistachio one. When the coffees came it was heaven. They make such beautiful, creamy, flavorful coffees we almost didn't want to drink them. But of course drinking them was the best part, you can tell they love what they do and they love coffee! The authentic Italian flavor in everything made for a really decadent experience. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back."

"Wonderful place to start your morning. The staff, music, and atmosphere are so comforting that I sat for hours enjoying the drink/food choices that the staff recommended. Great place to study, socialize, or listen to music and relax. WHAT DID I HAVE?! Cappuccino, Velvet Duo, Peach & Cream, Mortadella Panni, Mini Cheese Cake."
