I love a good bakery! A co worker told me about this place and said they came from Utica. I tried a few different donuts and they were all delicious. They were a nice size and very soft. Just fluffy with frosting! I love it! I also had a big cinnamon roll that was huge! It tasted good. We also tried the chocolate half moon cookie. I can’t wait to go back and try more different flavors donuts.

What a DELICIOUS and DANGEROUS addition to Manlius! I went on day one for a box of donuts to mark our son’s last day of daycare, then went back on day two for half moons for my half moon connoisseur husband. This could become a problem. Everyone was so friendly, the early morning selection was amazing, the iced coffee was excellent, the prices were so reasonable, and aforementioned half moon lover gave them his seal of approval. Welcome, Holland Farms! I’m coming for your cookies next and can’t wait for soups this winter!

This is gonna be a little long, so I’m apologizing ahead.
I was so excited to see this Utica favorite open right here in Manlius. Their two signature items, tomato pie and half moon cookies, definitely live up to the hype. The tomato pie was new to me, and while it is traditionally eaten at room temp, one of the staff suggested heating it at 375° for 5 minutes. Game changer. The crust came out crisp and delicious, with a simple but flavorful topping of tomato sauce and Parmesan. I will absolutely be back for more.
Half moon cookies are excellent with fun flavor options, though I like the traditional. Rolls and chicken salad were very good, the potato salad was just okay, and I am still in search of that New York City style potato salad.
Service is friendly and personal, with one staff member helping you through each section. It may slow things down a little but it makes the experience feel welcoming. Prices are not posted where you can easily see them and I do find things a little expensive, though not astronomical. The shop can be crowded and parking is tricky if you are turning off Route 92, so I suggest entering from the other side.
Overall, a great addition to the village with unique regional favorites. I’m excited to try some of their deli offerings like sandwiches and I saw Utica Greens.
If you make it down this far, I spent about $60 on two large tubs of chicken salad, a large tub of potato salad, a dozen rolls, tomato pie and four cookies.

Holland Farms is a family-run institution with decades of success, and their new Manlius location lives up to the hype. From their iconic half-moons to their fresh donuts and deli offerings, everything is consistently high quality. It’s a “grab-and-go” setup (no seating), but the staff is efficient and the parking is easy. A must visit for anyone in the area!

Great selection, delicious bakery and homemade soups. Recommend visiting and gathering items for the whole family. There is a reward program and recommend using that on future visits. Will be returning to try another treat. Keep the Moo points coming. Consider viewing the deli as part of your order. Tomato pie look like a specialty and tastes wonderful.

I got some half moons which is a must. I got two donuts; a headlight and a Boston cream. They were fresh and large with plenty of filling. I love cherries so I tried the cherry turnover. It was flaky with a drizzle of icing. I just wish there was more filling but who doesn’t want more filling. I enjoyed everything and would certainly come back for more.

Only tried the donuts but can’t say I see the appeal. The dough was very dense and my Boston cream quite literally had 0 filling. The jelly bun was also hard but atleast had filling which was tasty.

Great products but the lack of customer service this morning was shocking. 2 employees, no one greets me. I walk up to a case with one making boxes and I’m looking at the case items. No word at all. At this point I’m testing to see how long it takes for anyone to say anything. I keep browsing. Once I’m ready I look up at the girl making boxes, she’s staring at me and finally walks over to me but still doesn’t say anything so I finally say “hi how are you?” She says, “I’m good.”
That’s all I’m going to say. The exchange just wasn’t pleasant and it turns me off from coming back. Like I said, great baked goods, but being ignored sucks. They need more training in customer service.

I have been excited about trying this place. Today 03-06-26 I drove there from Constantia NY. I walked in and older woman was extremely rude to us with attitude yelling “ We’re sold out of most everything so what you see is what it left” I tried asking her questions as it was my first time there and she rolled her eyes, raising her voice with extreme attitude as she replied to me. I never got to ask her anything as she walked away and started speaking to another customer, leaving me and my 2 other family members speechless! I said to sister “ Let’s go “ and we walked out! I’m still in shock and extremely disappointed as we went to buy each a dozen of mixed desserts as well as buy lunch for 4 people, because of the ladies rudeness we left without trying anything, wasting our time and gas and most of all destroying our experience!!!

Best bakery in town hands down! The vanilla half moon was a 9 out of 10. Obviously is crazy busy so you can’t judge off the speed because everyone is trying to get a piece of the cake
