    Check out all the homemade treats available for purchase to take home!

    Breakfast for lunch? Yes please! I forgot my lunch at home and decided to stop in to Uptown Café for a little afternoon breakfast treat to get me through the workday. I was able to walk right in and get a table with no wait at about 12:15PM. The server greeted me before I even had my coat off and took my drink order before I was seated. I've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed by anything that comes out of their kitchen. I opted to keep it simple today with their Breakfast Combo 3. 2 crispy slices of bacon, 2 perfectly fried over medium eggs, and an indulgent side of their housemade strawberry jam that paired wonderfully with two slices of their housemade sourdough. Having an hour for lunch, I was able to walk to their location, find a seat, order, be served, and peacefully enjoy my breakfast-for-lunch with plenty of time to get back to my office. Uptown Café maintains the charm of a classic no-frills diner while bestowing upon us the delectable culinary talents and craftsmanship of total pros in their kitchen. Their copious assortment of homemade treats and condiments available for sale allow you to take home a little piece of heaven. Their hot sauce and their strawberry jam are completely phenomenal!

    Autumn G. Was an amazing waitress. The homemade toast hit the spot along with the homemade jam. The Western Omelette with Hash Browns and 2 nice sized Pancakes. Friendly service and always coming to be sure we're enjoying our meal and dinner. Forgot to get photos of delicious food.

    Ate breakfast for first time in nobesville location . Everything was delicious and fresh. The strawberry jam and bacons was one of the best I ever had . Definitely go back again . The waiter was so sweet and attentive .

    Over cooked and dry meat quiche. threw it out.

    Stopped here for the first time to get some brunch takeout and ordered biscuits and gravy, side of bacon and the meat quiche. Biscuits and gravy were not bad, bacon was crispy as I like it but was really disappointed in the quiche. Overcooked and dry and could not eat it, just had to throw it out. Should have looked at other pictures posted on yelp since one of them looked the same over cooked and dry.

    I had to take a meeting here (virtual). They gave me the space for my meeting and then left me be until I was done. When I wash finished. They came and took my order. The food was amazing and everyone was so kind. I will absolutely be back.

    This is a nice little cafe for grabbing some breakfast or brunch. We went here to try something new for lunch one day and i felt like ordering some breakfast food. The interior is very bright and warm with a cool mural on one side. The chairs are basic wooden and there many windows to view the trees that surround the building. There could be a little more art or decorations on the wall when you immediately enter. For food, I chose a breakfast sandwich with a fruit cup for a side. I am usually fairly hungry at lunch time so I should have gone with something else as the sandwich did not fill me up. It did taste good and the fruit seemed fresh with a good variety. I was envious of my friend's breakfast bowl which would have been a better choice for me. The prices were just a bit high as my sandwich and fruit were $11.00. I wouldn't mind if there was a bit more food but bread, bacon, cheese and eggs shouldn't be that much. The service was good and he was very attentive. We also came for an early lunch at around 11am so it was not crowded yet. Nice place though and I would come back to try one of the breakfast bowls for sure.

    Wanted something for lunch that wasn't a burger place. Decide to give Uptown a try. Service was good and quick. Food didn't wow us was just good. We had the quiche with side salad and Philly sandwich.

    My family of four came here on Monday 10/10 to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She'd already had a dinner party the previous Saturday, but I thought it would be nice to do something on the actual day of her birthday. I chose this restaurant due to the variety of the menu and because it was local (we just moved to the area). Upon arriving, I realized that Uptown Cafe is in the same location as a diner/cafe that I'd previously been a regular at when I used to work in the area. I got excited because the food there used to be really good. Unfortunately, I do not believe the two businesses to be in any way related. The birthday girl ordered the eggs benedict and it was made with ham, not Canadian bacon. That was a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if it was described as such on the menu and my daughter just missed it, but she was surprised. My younger daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. It arrived with the gravy on the side and, in our experience, that is never a good sign! She said it was just okay and the gravy lacked flavor. My fiance ordered a breakfast combo and had no complaints, but he's pretty easy to please. I ordered the breakfast club croissant sandwich (probably not the correct name) and that thing was massive. There was so much meat and veg on the soft, buttery croissant, that it basically collapsed under the weight of all the ingredients. It had no structural integrity, but it was yummy. I also ordered a side salad instead of chips. I was thoroughly displeased that it was made using iceberg lettuce. It literally has no nutritional value. It sort of defeats the purpose of ordering a salad. The staff was nice, but they closed at 2pm and we arrived after 1, so it was made pretty clear that they were trying to get us up out of there so they could close up. I doubt that we'll return.

    This is a fun little diner with good food. Although I didn't order it this visit, their eggs Benedict is my favorite of any restaurant. Since it was a Friday during Lent, I had the veggie quiche and pancakes. The quiche was a generous serving, piping hot and tasty. The pancakes were good, but not very fluffy. It's always a fun start to a day of shopping on the square.

    Food is great the service is super fast first time here, so I can't complained because the place is…read morereally nice very clean and comfortable. Super friendly the ladies that work in front are smiling and super cute. They are kind and Friendly my vanilla latte was done real fast and tastes Hmm a bit bitter then what I expected to be which means it was a bit strong for me.. not sweet enough but overall I do recommend this place for any age people to come and chat and relax eat and spend time away from home. My husband went running so I'm chilling here waiting for him. By the way the bathrooms are clean as well. After trying my vanilla latte two times, I end up asking the young ladies to make me another latte because I wanted to try something sweeter and they did it for free and actually was amazing what they gave me. Thanks so much I was not expecting that awesome treatment. Place gets crowded fast and the girls move fast as well. Not disappointed at all... I give it 10 out of 10

    Java House's successes are impressive. Their product(s) must resonate with a loyal audience because…read moreadditional retail locations continue to pop up all across central Indiana. I imagine having the support/backing from Heartland Foods helps... The environment at this particular location is okay. I've always been confused by the meeting room in the back, which has no heating and cooling. I'll blame that on whoever took the lead on the buildout. Now for the most important question: How is the coffee? I wouldn't call myself a coffee connoisseur but I'd like to consider myself a decent judge of good quality and flavor. My home coffee preparation process includes: grinding fresh beans to a grain specific for my preferred brewing method (usually Chemex or Aeropress), heating the water to a specific temp based on the bean's country/region of origin, patience, etc. Java House's coffee is not good... I'm fairly certain they use "coffee" powder that's dissolved into water (think Nestle instant coffee) then placed in pressurized kegs that are then either heated or cooled before being poured via a tap. This is not a place you go to experience good coffee. I believe Java House appeals more to certain coffee drinkers who enjoy adding flavors, sweeteners, milks/creams, etc. and not those interested in the art of growing, roasting, brewing, etc. If you're chasing quality coffee in the area, I suggest checking out either Indie Coffee Roasters, Illumine Coffee, or Eggshell (if you can figure out Eggshell's hours). If broken down, my rating would be: 2.5 stars for the successes and environment .5 star for the coffee For the Java House folks: If I'm totally off regarding my assumption of how you brew, please feel free to correct me!
