Emerson Ave Coffee was established in May of 2024 in the space that was previously known as Cafe Domenico.

It was an unexpected dream come true to be able to carry on the legacy of being the neighborhood coffee shop for South Utica, and we are commited to continuing to be a space that elevates our local community, faciliates bringing people together, and celebrates all our local area has to offer.

Emerson Ave Coffee is a woman owned business, run by upstate NY native and previous Cafe Domenico employee Becca Gleason.

She and her husband Neall live in South Utica with their 2 dogs, Luna and Bowie, and are thrilled to be an active part of the community.
