11 Best Vegan Restaurants in Utica

“Wonderful food and even nicer people. Spent a weekend in the Utica area and decided to stop here for lunch. We felt like we were having lunch with family. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Ended up ordering the lamb gyro and the salad with chicken shawarma. Both dishes were delicious and very fresh. The owner, Layla, offered us coffee that was rich and tasty. It is very difficult to replicate the kind of service you find here. We would not hesitate to come back again if we were in the area.“

“Nice local breakfast & lunch spot. Delicious food and a very nice owner.“

“I just stopped in with a friend and had their Holy Chese and Ham, Batman! with a side of Potatoe Salad and a Chai Latte. An awesome and unique taste experience! Friendly staff, mellow atmosphere.“

“Our server was extremely kind. The duck was good. Cherry sauce with the duck amazing. The steak was so under done it was purple and so tough I could barley cut through it let alone chew it. I had two bites. I felt to bed to speak up because the server was so friendly and busy bartending. Not worth the $154 for two people. My husband loved their new galette appetizer.“

“This place is the real deal when it comes to bagels. Fantastic variety of flavors and strong bagel-making talent make it our new go-to when we visit Utica. Regarding their hours: This place makes bagels right. This means it opens at 7 or 8 after working hours of the many steps to make the bagels. Their day ends at 12noon because that’s how serious they are about focusing on bagels. This doesn’t make them less of a high-quality bagel stop…perhaps it elevates then.“

“Best BLT in town!! All the food is excellent! VERY friendly staff!“

“Great space! Love the old buildings! Delicious breakfast to go-Sausage and cheese omelet for the dog-she loved it! Toast was delicious! Sausage, egg and cheese on an everything was fantastic. Wanted to try a pastry but we opted for the bananas foster french toast-omg, still drooling. Very good and steps away from our hotel (Double Tree).“

“Good food, especially the Riggies. Service is always great. Nice place for a night cap or playing games with friends!“

“I made a reservation for my best friend’s birthday and there were 10 of us in attendance and we had the best time! The drinks, food, and atmosphere were incredible! I loved the new location and the menu had something for everyone in our party. We weren’t rushed and had time to enjoy each other’s company and were served our entrees timely. The desserts and espresso martinis were excellent! Jared made sure we were attended too and our waitress was superb! We thought the price point was good based on appetizers, drinks, and entrees for each person. I will absolutely be back and wish nothing but success in their new location!“
