Walked in yesterday super early in the morning 6:40AM to be exact and got a pleasant, warm greeting…read morefrom Nathan. Told me to sit anywhere that I would like. Was meeting up with a friend. Shortly after, she walked in and we both had breakfast together. I have been to this lovely, well kept and maintained establishment at least 7 times in the past. 2nd time reviewing this place. We ordered a Veggie Omelette that came with: spinach, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, & asparagus. For cheese we opted for Swiss cheese free of charge. ($18.99), got a side order of fruit ($5.99), an order of English Muffin(toasted) ($2.99), and a large Orange Juice for ($5.49). Total came out to be $30.70 including tax, minus his tip. Both guys Nathan and Benny were very helpful, attentive and nice. Food was very hot, DELICIOUS and prices were affordable for their portions. Nathan didn't charge me for the OJ, because he forgot to bring me my whipped cream that came with a side of half Waffle, that actually looked more like a full Waffle. We both stayed with water. They have pretty extensive menu options from breakfast, salads, wraps, and sandwiches. All types of beverages. Hot and cold. Business of operation is consistent, which I LOVE!! Gender neutral restroom, a nice patio on both sides of the restaurant, and about 8 to 10 spots of parking spaces behind the restaurant. Restroom was also clean and fully stocked with all the essentials. Nice artwork on the walls. You can also find street or meter parking. They have 2 or 3 other locations. They did a little touch up here and there that was very noticeable. This is a great breakfast/lunch spot to indulge yourself. I wanted to eat more, but one can only eat so much. Ambiance was very nice, chill, clean, and had overhead music playing inside the restaurant.. They have to-go orders, delivery, but no catering. 10/10. Will definitely return next time I am craving any one of their menu options. Thank you Nathan, Benny, management & Waffles!!

Please try, and this is a large waffle, so you can easily share with a friend! My friend said the breakfast burrito with their sauce and their plain waffle with berries was also really good when she came! Service: The waiter was so nice, and you order in the front desk, and then they bring your plate to you and clean up too. One of the waiters noticed my bag was still on the chair, and he took it off and gave it to me in my hand, and this made my day :)! Ambiance: This cafe is so cute, and has almost a Bridgerton-like wall paper. There is ice water, which you can self serve. We parked on the street nearby and walked over. Highly recommend you come with friends for a weekend brunch!

Once we sat down we noticed none of the tables we're wiped clean, just quickly bussed. I ordered the traditional breakfast which was delicious. The eggs, bacon, and potatoes were perfect. The crepes were honestly flavorless but I drenched them in syrup and they were okay. The little croissant was super salty and dry, I didn't eat it. I also got a vanilla latte and it was perfect! 10/10 My bf got the matcha latte, and he didn't like it. Said it tasted like all syrup.

Has limited seating inside and out so get there early if you can! I love the decor with the butterflies on the wall and they are playing chill jams. They have a cute chalkboard off the menu and a cool photo wall is celebrities who have visited. My fiancé and I tried the Huevos Rancheros plate, Peaches and Cream Waffle, and the Thai Style Fried Chicken plate. Along with their two drinks; Sunset Refresher & Blueberry Vanilla Cold Foam Matcha. Huevos Rancheros were a hit. To be honest I thought the dish to be a small serving at first. But it's actually a good portion. You get three tostadas stacked and layered with black beans and mozzarella and topped off with over easy eggs and salsa. I loved how the corn tortillas maintained their crunch and never got soggy. The habanero salsa that it came had a good KICK. Peaches and Cream waffle was good as well. It is seasonal so we jumped on the opportunity. Waffle was thick and fluffy that came with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The peaches were also thick and the sauce it came was light and sweet. Can never go wrong with ice cream and waffles. The Thai Style chicken was pleasant surprise. Before we ate the chicken, I tried a piece of the breading and I knew it was gonna be a good one. Lots of flavor from the tom yum seasoning and the chicken was a decent size. It's not spicy and comes with a sweet sauce to dip in. The bell peppers balanced out this dish. I was a fan of the sunset refresher. It's a mix of hibiscus, pineapple and lemonade. It's more tart than sweet but refreshing. The blueberry cold foam iced matcha was solid. Not too sweet and properly balance. Overall a good brunch spot with a large menu guaranteed to have you come back to try other things. A little pricey.

We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich (combo) with fries, glazed chicken, lemonade, and radish. The chicken sandwich was probably the best burger we've had in recent months--brioche buns were soft & buttery, chicken really well fried, spicy enough to have a kick but did not overpower. We were surprised by the fries - hot, crispy, really fresh and far from normal food court quality. The glazed chicken tasted just like the ones you'd get at a classic joint in Seoul, which was nostalgic for me who is a huge sweet and spicy fan. My fiancé and I were initially looking for a quick meal after spending hours looking for our wedding bands in the jewelry district...but this lunch is what ended up being the highlight of our day. We're really wishing the best for this place! It's so rare to see a small business that's put in this much effort and care into their food, and we definitely felt it. Wish I'd taken some photos to post here but we dived straight in :-(

They have chairs and tables for you to hang out and eat/drink what you purchased. There's also just benches if you wanna lounge. I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed. As for the drinks and food. What we've had here has always been good. Best to eat their Croffle and baked goods there. Although Matcha is not for my liking, I'm more for their Taro Drink. B says the Matcha here is one of the better ones she's had. I have to agree even their Matcha Ice Cream is good. We get is the Matcha Croffle + Ice Cream, Matcha Einspanner, Taro Einspanner, and their cakes. Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks. So that's something Cafe Upper should train all staff. Especially if people have food allergies.

I've been here twice and on the first visit, it took awhile to get seated. We came again this month and was happy to see it seems they expanded their indoor dining to have a whole other room able to seat more diners on busy weekends! I'm usually a light brunch eater, but if you're going here, you have to order the Mexican food staples. My boyfriend loves their breakfast tacos (super hearty, 2 would be enough but a 3rd was taken home). Super generous portion with their cooked meat on top - SO good (classic bacon, or their mole and barbacoa). The Chipotle chilaquiles were absolutely delicious! I've never had an authentic Chipotle sauce taste like that... super creamy, and homemade, not overtly smoky like you usually have at other places. We also had their cafe de olla cold brew (since it was a hot summer heat wave), and it was good - classic with their cafe de olla spices - but I'm sure their classic hot cafe de olla is even better. I believe I've gotten their other regular brunch items, but wish I just opted for their Mexican favorites since that's their bread and butter here. Great business. Great service. Love to support!
