“In sporting vernacular: grand slam, eagle, bullseye!! The planning for my 50th birthday party started with Motus months prior. The details of the menu, signature cocktail, embellishments and affordable pricing were as smooth as silk. The follow up meetings were effective and brief. Every detail was accommodated in style and with class. When Alicia said not to worry, they will handle everything, I left it in their capable hands and didn’t give it another thought. The event of about 30 family and dear friends was an astounding and resounding success. One word: Delicious! The presentation was wonderful. The service was timely, accurate, professional, and nearly invisible throughout the evening. Everyone is still raving about the menu variety, service, and the General sumptuousness of the event. This was the best choice. Alicia, you are wonderful!! We are still on cloud 9. This one review represents 28 rave accolades and approvals. Job well done!“

“Robin and Garrett have created a warm, inviting, and inclusive atmosphere for all. They offer salads, sandwiches, soups and other delicious fares. The Tram is much more than a coffeehouse, but all their variety of coffee offerings would make any barista proud. Please support The Tram and help local businesses in the Utica area thrive. You won’t be disappointed with the Tram.“

“Peter's Cornucopia is the absolute go-to grocery store, assuming you actually care about what you put into your body. Though it is predictably more expensive than your average corporate chain—expect to pay about 5-10% more—the quality is far superior. The eggs, milk, and 100% organic produce here are fresh.

To be fair, I still buy my standard packaged products elsewhere purely because it makes sense to save money on mass-produced items. But for the fresh essentials, the investment here is completely worth it if your health is a priority. Also, make sure to check out their cafe counter for the grab-and-go options; their sourdough bread and fresh baked items are incredible.

Ultimately, if you are going to complain about the prices of real ingredients while contentedly living on fast trash food, then I would suggest you save yourself the trip and just shop at Walmart. You won't truly appreciate this place anyway. But for anyone actively seeking out genuine food over processed garbage, this place is an absolute haven.

Don't get me wrong, the store isn't perfect, but it is about as close as it gets. In my experience, this is the premier health-conscious store in the region, with its only real competition being Green Planet Grocery over an hour west, in Fairmount.“

“Great food and fast service! Cant believe how much we got for what we paid.“

“great flavors of yogurt and lots of fun toppings! my son and I love going there. clean, friendly and fun“

“Update- 08.08.26
Came in, right at Closing…… they not only welcomed us, but presented us with a spirit and warmth that’s often missing in food establishments today!!! Both our selections, Tuna Poke Fire and Greek Chicken Quinoa were Fresh, Full portioned and presented with friendliness and smiles!!!!
Thank you Everyone!!

Impressive! Upon entering this well-loved eatery, standing in a line almost out the door, I started my order no more than 7 minutes later! Upon looking back, I see a new line out to the door, yet the (4) front staff continue to be the most Professional servers an establishment can ask for! Professional, Polite and Productive! The food was likewise Fresh, Delicious and Healthy! Our hats off to this establishment, and especially the front staff professionals serving patrons all evening long!!“

“This is one of the only fast casual chains I really like. Panera’s are all over the country and their menu tries hard to tilt towards healthy. I’ve been going to this specific location since it opened - many, many times. There was a period of like 2 years where I basically had a mango smoothie (still so good) every other day. Everything is always clean and it has excellent public restrooms if you’re looking for some place to stop in New Hartford. Lots of comfortable seating and you can sit as long as you want. There’s also outdoor seating in the summer. Due to how accessible the chain is I consider Panera a good option for sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and of course the infamous broccoli chedder soup (just try it). However, I continue to be disappointed that they stopped making their bread fresh in-house daily.“
