Great coffee, friendly service as always! I also got a piece of their coffee cake and a breakfast burrito and they were both so good. Easily a top 5 breakfast burrito for me in recent memory and it's not 5. The crispy hash brown and the ratio of bacon (added it on) and eggs carry this and the aioli is amazing. Looking forward to trying this again next time I'm in town!

In my quest for having a favorite local coffee spot in every city I visit, Uptown Coffee was my…read morelatest adventure in Cedar Rapids. Uptown has a very eclectic, hipster vibe to it. The seating area is behind where you order coffee--looks like it's a bar in the evenings. They also have a great breakfast selection. I was hoping to try one of the breakfast sandwiches, but had to opt for a pastry because service was so slow. I ordered my go-to basic drip coffee with cream. It was perfect! Definitely the morning pick me up I needed. Since I wasn't able to get a hardier breakfast, I opted for a donut. The cake donut was definitely yummy! While there were three people working behind the counter, I had to wait about 10 minutes to even order. One staff member was making drinks, another making food, and the third was making signs. I'm sure the signs were important, but so are customers who are standing in front of you. Bottom line, I will give Uptown another shot when I'm back in the area because the coffee was that good and the sandwiches being made looked and smelled delicious.

I am also a huge fan of their caramel lattes and coffee cake. They prefer cash to help offset card processing fees, but cards are accepted too. If you're looking for a place to work or study, they offer 5 high-top counter seats in addition to their 10 other tables for places to enjoy your coffee, tea, or meal. Just be open to background noise as they have an open kitchen and it gets busy during peak hours.

Very hip coffee shop fairly close to The District and NewBo area. There was actually plenty of…read moreparking when I was there about 8:30ish on a weekday morning. There was a line but it went quickly. Know that there is only one size here, what I would consider an extremely small coffee but my latte was good. (The higher end and more artisanal the place, the smaller the cup!) I also got a chorizo-fajita scone to go. It would have been better if it had been heated. That scone really needed more spice. I loved the inside art, merchandise and they had a cool reusable cups for purchase (coozies with a glass jar) that I think allowed for lots of free coffee. Cool spot and again, I would have liked to have stayed awhile. Pretty busy spot and lots of food was coming out of the kitchen, too.

Coffee options were good and the Cafe Breve I had was great. Our group had breakfast this go so I ended up ordering the Denver Omelette with the smoked Gouda cheese option. It was tasty and the eggs were done perfectly. The basic cafe options here are great for any meal. And if you want to grab a coffee and treat with a few friends also a nice option. It wasn't too busy (but filled up with only a few tables open) on the Saturday morning we were there. The service was good but reminder that you have to go to the counter for all transactions but they will deliver items to your table at least and this method seems to work well for them. Ambiance is nice with the perfect small town cafe vibes.
