Delicious food, delicious drinks, beautiful atmosphere. Homemade pastries. Best cafe by far around—almost feels like it doesn't belong in upstate New York, that's how good it is.

I attended a wedding recently that featured these incredible iced cookies on the dessert bar. I had to go back for seconds and I absolutely had to find out where they came from. Well, the answer was Earl Grey cookies from Bella Vita. You bet your butt I'll be making a trip to the cafe to get more of those cookies and to sample more of their offerings. 10/10 for a fantastic cookie

I've been going to Bella Vita since they opened under the new owner. Justin is always super nice to me and my partners, so much so we've become regulars. I always go for the carrot cake muffin (which is gluten free ) and the early grey cookies. Thier macrons are also amazing, so flavorful. I recommend this business to anyone that likes little treats and coffee. Not only do they have sweets, but some savory options as well! Hands down my favorite place in Oneida!

I bought a coffee and pretzel. The coffee was great, the pretzel delicious. I love the low lights in the place as my eyes are sensitive to bright lights. Much better than Dunkin donuts and well worth the detour.

Everything is hand made on site by Justin and Brian, and the flavor is amazing. Check the coffees out, fresh ground all the time, and there are lots of options for flavor shots.

Great spot to get coffee with a friend. Lots of fresh baked seriously delicious options, great coffee, chill vibe. It's giving Central Perk. [Park behind Kallet or Kay Real Estate if curbside is full!]

AWESOME baked goods and terrific coffee drinks. The lemon ricotta cookie was absolutely top notch and the cheesy spinach brioche hit the spot. Next time I think I’ll try the hearty looking peach or dutch apple cake if they have it again. Very robust flavor dirty chai, and delicious nitro cold brew. This was a detour off the thruway for us as we passed through Central NY headed back to Buffalo— if you too are traveling through the area and have 15 minutes to spare, I don’t think you’ll regret getting some delicious well-crafted fare here over a generic rest stop!

Bella Vita is exactly what Oneida needs. It's a perfectly size cute bakery/cafe with fairly priced treats. I would recommend the pretzelz! I usually buy at least 2 and they rarely make it home. The Earl Grey cookies and ricotta cheese cheesecake are amazing.
