I can say that my breakfast croissant was good and my caramel frappuccino was as well.

He's not a complainer so he didn't let the waiter know that he thought he was getting a breakfast bowl. The service was good.

Smooth, well-balanced, and honestly good enough that I came back the very next morning. That time, I ordered a cortado, and what really stood out was the barista. They took the time to clearly explain the difference between a macchiato and a cortado, which I genuinely appreciated. You can tell they care about coffee and the customer experience. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that they didn't have short takeout cups for the cortado, which would have made it perfect. Still, great drinks, great service, and definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

I consider myself a bit of a coffee snob, so I am always on the lookout for places that really know their craft and this one delivers. From espresso to cappuccino to lattes or even a simple cup of coffee, everything is done exceptionally well. It all starts with their exclusive blend of fresh coffee beans that are roasted locally and brought in fresh. You can taste the difference in every sip. Their blend is roasted to perfection and creates a consistently smooth and flavorful experience no matter what you order. The staff are friendly, courteous, and clearly knowledgeable about what they do. I have been especially impressed with Sarina, the manager, and Lynne, one of the baristas. Their attention to detail and care for customers really stands out. They make their own simple flavored syrups in house, which adds a fresh and unique twist to many of their drinks. The ambiance and decor make it a beautiful and relaxing place to sit, unwind, and truly enjoy your coffee. This is definitely a place I will keep coming back to.

I was remarking to a member of my running group that I've probably driven past this place a million…read moretimes and never noticed it was there. I'm not sure what I imagined it being. A Kinkos? Some place where I could print off copies of my zine about protecting the environment by committing minor acts of terrorism in America's forests? Turns out, it's a place where you can listen to truly random vinyl records while eating burritos entirely too good to be available in Clayton. Nothing about the latter says this part of town except for the price, which is almost like someone's cruel idea of a joke. I'd suggest that they're the best breakfast burritos available anywhere in the area, but what do I know? I've been eating breakfast burritos since the Reagan administration, when they were invented (as far as I know), but mostly of the microwavable variety. They have the potential to be the best food possible, because they combine the two other best foods, breakfast sandwiches and Mexican food, but no one seems to put any real effort into them. They're less likely than their lunch/dinner counterpart to cause gastrointestinal distress. People suspect that the reason Chipotle gives you the runs roughly every third time you visit is because of the cilantro, which is impossible to wash, but I heard it's really the lettuce. Never get lettuce on a burrito from Chipotle. If you're getting one of those bowls, why are you even going to Chipotle? You're probably already fat, and not eating a tortilla is not going to make a difference. But I digress. Upshot is primarily a coffee shop, and I think it's generally well regarded as far as that's concerned, though I'm no expert. I drink a nice, stiff six cups or so of whatever's on sale first thing in the morning and it usually ends up being the highlight of my day. I don't need any coffee in addition to that. I might get nervous. I've had luck lately with the seasonal selections at other local coffee shops that I've visited, so I figured I'd take my chances with an iced strawberry matcha latte. It seemed like it would be nice and refreshing after getting in a few miles with the homies, and damn it if it didn't hit the spot. You could see the actual seeds in it from where they must have crushed up an actual strawberry to make it, thus justifying the price, at least as far as they're concerned. They spared no expense with the burrito either. It's filled with surprisingly large chunks of bacon and avocado. Can they afford to give you more bacon because they don't cook it to the point where it starts to shrink? I like it when it's still kinda chewy, but I'm sure many would beg to differ. That must be how bacon is served in Clayton. They don't have the lovable old James bring it out to you, but I can understand, with this being 2026. It's not the lengthiest tortilla in the world, but it's stuffed to nearly overflowing with eggs, cheese, potatoes and what have you. I'd suggest bringing a date just to see if she could wrap her lips around it, but who's got that kind of money? It would have to be someone you've already been out with a few times, who's with the program, so to speak.

The vanilla latte was very good and they had several other things. I would like to try like the seasonal orange chocolate drink. I'm not big on hot drinks yet but I'm getting there so I'll be trying that before the season is over. Anyway, if you're in the area, I advise you to stop by and grab a drink or food.

I wasn't sure they'd be enough, so I also grabbed a premade Mini Greek Yogurt Parfait. To complement my food, I ordered a latte. The menu described the waffles as Belgian waffles, but they were quite different from the fluffy Belgian waffles I'm familiar with. These waffles had a crispy exterior and a slightly sweetened interior, more like Liege waffles. While one container of maple syrup would have been sufficient, I requested two. The waffles were so over-saturated with syrup that every bite had a taste of maple. The mini parfait was surprisingly large and would have sufficient as a light breakfast on its own. Instead of mixing the honey into the yogurt first, I topped the granola on the yogurt, which made it difficult to incorporate the honey. The latte was refreshing. Instead of risking the drink spilling over the mug, I opted for a takeout cup. Once I covered it, it was convenient to carry it to the table.
