Delicious avocado toast. Love their expansive tea selection. Great spot to meet someone! Only non dairy milk is Oat milk

Great service, very tasty breakfast, clean and pleasant atmosphere. We really enjoyed our food here and will return.

I actually hate to give this business a bad review because it has quickly been becoming my favorite place to go . So today I decided to try the avocado toast and first let me get to yes it was terrible but I want to get to the server first who dropped my food off to me on my to-go order I have no clue who she is but for whatever reason she gave me the most disgusting fake smile with an attitude I have no clue why and then the avocado toast which I paid 1250 for the bread was so hard I couldn't eat it and it's a whole avocado it's not even like a puree it's not even real avocado toast so folks don't waste your money thinking you're getting some good avocado toast because of this is not it you're going to break a tooth I will be getting my money back. However with that said please visit here the 2 owners are fantastic and have a great vibe a good food just not this time . Only left a bad review due to a bad employee. read more

Really good food and coffee, but a little pricey. The atmosphere is great and has a fun vibe.

Excellent and friendly service from Chloe and Basil. A clean and open space to sit in for a while. The breakfast sandwiches are great and customizable, same with the coffee read more

Really cute cafe that you wouldn't expect to be so busy. The chai tea latte was good as well as the cinnamon roll latte that my friend had. The seating options are also nice because you can go there alone or with a bigger group and still have seating options. It also looked like they had outdoor seating for when it's warmer outside. The Moroccan soup was also very good and filling. read more

Dude this place is divine. Had their vegan egg salad sandwich which was top shelf. Also tried their ham sandwich with pineapple mayo that had a bit of spice as well! So good. The hibiscus lemon tonic (I believe?!) was amazing. The people that work there were suuuuper nice as well. Definitely worth dropping by read more

A friend recommended I try this restaurant. Went on a Saturday for brunch. There was a line but it moved quickly. You have to first place your order, get a number, sit wherever you want and wait for the food to be served. I ordered the Moroccan chickpea soup and the Mediterranean toast with an egg. The soup was delicious! Light, fragrant Moroccan spices without overpowering my palate. The chickpeas were cooked to perfection, not too hard but not mushy. The toast was good, not great. They didn't ask me how i wanted my egg cooked so to my disappointment it was sunny side up with the yolk cooked all the way instead of runny. My mistake for not mentioning it when i placed my order. All in all a great experience, will definitely eat there again. read more

Went here for breakfast with my wife before she went to work on one of my Fridays off. We were looking for a new place to go for breakfast and this looked really good. Coffee selection was great, and they used a tea merchant my wife had never heard of but it was solid as well. We shared a scone, which was perfectly made. I had biscuits and gravy and it was top notch. Biscuits were scone-like, and the sausage gravy wasn't just water and flour. Or if it was, it was still great. High ceilings. I think we sat under a speaker that was playing some classic rock. I know for sure I heard "Smokin'" by Boston. Counter service, but helpful. Bus your own table, please, there's a place by the door to put your dishes when you're done. read more

I needed to figure out a place to meet a friend in Valpo on Sunday morning, so put my trust in Yelp and decided to meet her at Uptown Cafe. It was great! Nice location with plenty of parking. A private lot and street parking. We ordered our breakfast from the friendly guy behind the counter. We both ordered the lox and bagels and coffee drinks. I had a mocha and my partner had a cappuccino. We found a spot by the window and waited for our food. The coffee drinks came out fairly quickly and were delicious and beautifully prepared. Our bagels came out soon afterward (we enjoyed the free WiFi while we waited). The presentation was really nice and the food was great. Plenty of lox, bagels well toasted, generous thin slices of tomatoes, red onion and capers. Best lox and bagels we have had in Indiana. I was happy to see that there is also a Crown Point location since that is usually where I stay when I visit the Region. Looking forward to checking it out. read more

Great, friendly place for coffee and teas. Also scones and tasty breakfast sandwiches. Stop in and support local business.

The food is always fresh. The service is fast and the ambience is nice too. I love their chai latte and their different coffee lattes. Today was my birthday and I chose to go there for their soup for lunch because they are fresh made and not from cans or Gordon Food Service. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent coffee, customer service and modern feel. Highly recommend. Was a great spot to work out of for the day.

Hubby and I come here all the time for day dates. Staff is very sweet and friendly and everything is delicious! Coffee syrups are made in house which is hard to find and they also make fancy all natural craft sodas. So far all the food items we've tried are tasty. Give the daily homemade soup a try and get sriracha for your chips. read more

Highly recommend. My favorite cafe' in the area. I absolutely love their Chicken Basil Sanwich, and am a huge fan of their Chai lattes!

This is such a nice cafe. I love supporting small local businesses. Ans that's exactly what this was. Went with a couple of friends during the week for lunch. It was crowded, but I take that as a good sign. Tho it was busy and crowded that did NOT stop the staff from being very friendly and patient. Nothing was a problem for them, and I truly appreciate that. It was our first time so we had many questions about the drinks. The cashier had no problem answering them. I wish I would of taken photos of my food but we were so hungry. The food was good and tasted very clean. They bring the food to your table after you order at the cashier. They even sell local owned soda/pop flavored. We bought a couple and they were actually pretty good. I will def come back to try their other plates. But the drink selection.....I'm gonna need this whole summer to try every single one of them. read more

The coffee was fantastic! I ordered a latte with pumpkin spice and also a mocha and the pumpkin and choc chip muffin which was so good. Not immensely sweet either so got the flavor of pumpkin with bit of chocolate. We loved the coffee drinks. Great flavor and not burnt. Staff was pleasant and time to order and get everything was decent time. Relatively busy. Appreciate mask wearing and decent spacing. We just happen to google coffee shop and found this in the area! So glad we did! read more

Go bright and early for their biscuits and sausage gravy! Dark chocolate mocha seems to utilize chocolate shavings along with Ghirardelli chocolate syrup to make a great decadent beverage. Drinks are always great. Atmosphere is bustling and can be quite packed, be sure to grab a seat asap! read more

Hands down the best coffee in Northwest Indiana. It's a must stop for me when I am in town. Their avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, homemade soups, and huge salads are all delicious. They also have an awesome selection of gluten free and vegan baked goods. You cannot go wrong with any choice of food or beverage at Uptown. read more

Seriously the best cafe in Valparaiso! The owners are amazing people and the run a great place to get really good coffee, and incredibly homemade baked goods! The biscuits and gravy are a must try! The seasonal beverages are always well balanced and named in a witty manner! They use all homemade syrups, make their own sodas, and again the scones are next level good! They have partnered with a local coffee roaster, so the beans are super fresh. Oh, and their soups are amazing! Seriously, if you're in the area, you need to stop by and hang out for a bit. read more

Scone - the best scone I have ever had. Buttery, sweet and crunchy but soft in the middle Earl gray boba - oddly fragrant and not really creamy. Would not get again as I like my milk tea bitter. Hummus plate - pretty standard, would not get again Coffee muffin - pretty standard, would not get again Great place to work and take meetings. read more

Really cute coffee shop located just off Valparaiso's campus. I'm sure this place is insanely busy when school is in session but it was pretty chill today since school is out for the summer. This is a pretty spacious coffee shop that offers more than just coffee and tea, they also have bubble tea, pastries, sandwiches and soup. The barista was very friendly and offered a suggestion being I was a newbie. There are plenty of tables, the place was clean and the wifi is fast. read more

When all the reviewer wrote that this is the best café around, they failed to mention its not just the best café in town but also in the state. Not only was the food absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is inviting and comfortable and the staff were second to none. They're extremely personable, helpful and wonderful people who go above and beyond for being accommodating and provide top-notch suggestions. Though, with how good the smoothie, cinnamon scone and chicken basil sandwich with a side of the pasta salad I got was- I imagine that any suggestions they could've made would've been amazing because I don't believe this place could produce less than incredible food. Definitely a place to check out and a spot I hope to come back to. read more

Had a solid tasty latte and glad a large size was available. Roomy venue, which was pretty full of people chatting, eating, and snacking. Be careful not to get tripped up in laptop wires plugged into the floors :) Didn't get a chance to try the food but it's great that it's available. read more

Uptown cafe goes above and beyond with customers service. Always there to greet you with a smile and conversation. I always take my family and friends there and they always love it too. Everything is good here. Lattes made with their homemade syrups are delicious, the biscuits are made fresh and the gravy is packed with flavor. I usually get the lox or the breakfast sandwich. There lunch is always good too. Salads and sandwiches are goooood. You can't go wrong with this place. It's one of the best gems in valpo! read more

Stopped here for breakfast during a weekend getaway. I tried the coconut creme bubble tea with tapioca bobas, and it was tasty! The tea was better than the bobas, and I'm not sure I would have missed much by going without, but that's probably just personal preference. The soups we ordered were outstanding, and so were the sandwiches. The cafe was buzzing with college students, study groups, and meet-ups. While it was freezing out, the indoor fireplace really kicked out the heat! Following our meal, we shared a coconut lime scone. I'm a big coconut fan, so I had high hopes. The scone quality was excellent, but there were only minor hints of lime and coconut to be found in each bite. I would have liked a bit more. That said, this place earns a solid 4 stars for its well priced healthful foods and nice environment! read more

This is the place to see and be seen for a weekday breakfast hangout for the Valparaiso power club. They have a great list of sandwiches and snacks. I really love their avocado toast and their BLT and the BLT upgrade with a sunnyside up egg, called the Mitch. The owner is behind the coffee bar most days so DONT piss off this barista he is not just a coffee maid, he is the brains behind alot of this wonderful location. And the brains behind him is the one serving the food during the day, she seems to have had a lot of input in the menu. This place reminds me of the deadwood in iowa city. read more

Phenomenal!!!! Our first trip here and we were blown away. There wasn't a bad item on the menu. From the breakfast sausage sandwich on an English muffin to the chicken basil sandwich we enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy too. They have a chic atmosphere, great service and the staff is friendly. Couldn't recommend this place any more. read more

On a cold Tuesday night visiting family in valparaiso I was looking for a cup of hot tea. Just by chance I ran into uptown coffee while driving through town. When I walked in the staff was really helpful with their tea choices. They helped me with all my questions and were really friendly while doing it. Next time I'm visiting valparaiso I'll make sure I give this great place another try. read more

Overall was OK. Scone was more like a muffin. Chai tea was VERY sweet. It was also $13 for an iced chai and a scone...

They know me by name and my order by heart. They make me feel so welcomed! Honestly one of the chillest places I've ever been to 10/10 recommend this place to anyone amazing bubble teas read more

Dark. Chocolate. Mocha. Oh my goodness! That drink was heavenly. I was in chocolate heaven with each sip. Definitely try it! Anyways, I really loved this coffee shop in Valpo! You could tell that it was a popular place in town with almost all the tables being filled on a Friday afternoon. But it's no wonder! The baristas were very, very friendly, and the coffee was fabulous. I loved the ambiance of the place with the sun pouring in from the big windows and holiday music lightly playing in the background. The only reason I have to give this place 4-stars is because of the WiFi! ACK! It was so bad. I couldn't get it to work, so I finally had a login to my xfinity account. So for all of you who want to get some work done there: you've been warned! However, if you're looking for a good cup of coffee/a place to catch up with old friends, look no further! read more
