This spot has a calming, laid back charm that is incredibly relaxing. The light snow fall accompanied by the soft music create quite a feeling of nirvana. They offer a few decent crepes, breakfast sandwiches and other items, but the coffee creations and the atmosphere are why you come. It's pricey, but such it's the cost for the environment. There is noticeably a younger crowd in this house. More of a modern feel than the old, rickety traditional shops. Even the bathrooms are up to date and spotless. I prefer the solitude, so timing is everything. You'll find both the noisy, crowded breakfast niche and the quiet, pristine haven will provide you with a memorable experience. 02/25

If you have not had UP North Cafe's breakfast sausage links, you're missing out. I travel all over the world and haven't had better. The locals are extremely friendly, I envited myself into a group of locals who meet there to share coffee and chat. They welcomed me just like they knew me my whole life. The owner of the restaurant remembers my name and acknowledges when I come in. Again, I'm only in town a few weeks a year. Excellent Friday fish fry as well. Best in town I'd say. If you haven't been there or it's been a few years, the place has had some remodeling and is nice and welcoming. I'd give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Try the breakfast sausage links, you'll be glad you did.

Up North Cafe was exactly what we were looking for, for breakfast! I had an omelette with sourdough. The sourdough toast was really awesome. My boyfriend had the corn beef hash with sourdough and loved the toast as well. The staff were very friendly. A clean place with a big menu. They serve breakfast all day too which is helpful! Overall a great place for breakfast with reasonable prices. They serve lunch and dinner too but we only had their breakfast. A nice place to dine with an up north vibe!

The place has real promise. I know I'm being critical here but they serve their small salad in what I can only assume is a bowl meant for a scoop or two of ice cream and the lettuce was a little sad. My fork also almost bent in half as I tried to cut my steak.

What ended up coming out were 2 slices of bread with one thin slice of beef and a half gallon of brown gravy. The potatoes, beef, gravy, and coleslaw all lacked seasoning.

Just don't have unlimited time while at lunch. Sadly, the quality of the food sure seems to have gone downhill.
