Franklin's Tower - Utica

My wife and I had breakfast here and we loved it. She had an omelet and loved that the eggs were not overcooked. I had the pancakes and loved the maple butter served with it inside of syrup. We were there at 10:30AM on a Saturday and it was packed. Service was good and steady. Once we ordered, you order at the register, the food came fairly quickly.

We had a lovely breakfast at an outdoor table in front of the store. I had avocado toast and my husband had pancakes. We shared a sfogliatella. The food was quite good. Coffee was excellent, as was the service. Prices are on the high side, but not exorbitant

This little cafe certainly does a great job advertising but unfortunately doesn’t live up to the expectation created through their media efforts. My husband was looking g forward to a croissant or other baked good for breakfast but when we arrived at 8:30am she said they sold out. Considering they only opened 1.5 hours early that was poor planning. We both ordered the yogurt bowl. It was displayed well with ample fruit and yogurt but little more than a tablespoon of granola. It certainly wasn’t worth the $7.95 we paid. Also, don’t expect free refills of coffee. I can’t speak for the other breakfast items by taste but they did look good and were presented well. The cafe was clean and decorated nicely.

I went with a girl friend to get sweets for a get together. We went up to the counter and the lady at the registration never acknowledged us or the elderly gentleman that was also waiting. We got so tired of waiting while she chatted with a friend that we just left.

Wonderful location and trendy atmosphere! Wonderful breakfast and lunches! But the dessert and bakery are the real reason to try Wisk.
