Timing creates the clearest boundary. Breakfast wraps by 10 or 11am while brunch extends into early…read moreafternoon, and that later window permits the cocktail service that defines the experience. Each meal suits a different individual. Breakfast works for families with young children and time-pressed professionals. Brunch rewards couples, friend groups, and anyone treating the meal itself as the main event rather than a stop before one. Located at the intersection of two streets in Lodi, this hidden gem has brought us a wonderful experience where my partner, our friend, and I decided on brunch today. The reservation was easily made via their website. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host at Summer and Autumn Cafe and were seated immediately in the back, which has a cozy, low-key, and intimate vibe with an open kitchen. Their menu is retrievable by scanning the QR code or a paper with many excellent options for breakfast, lunch, or brunch on weekends. We decided on the Meat Lover's Omelette, Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese, and Starvin' Marvin. We washed our meal with Iced Latte and regular Iced Coffee. Each order is cooked at the time of ordering, making it so that one's food is fresh out of the kitchen when served. Our food was plated beautifully and tasted great. The entire staff was polite and provided an excellent experience. Our server, Elianna was friendly and accommodating. The owner, Bill is very present and checks every table where we made small talk. You won't be disappointed.

Bacon was crisp well, potatoes were nicely seasoned and crisp, over easy eggs were perfectly cooked and the tres leche French toast was a yummy sweet addition to the plate. I also ordered the coquito latte - so yummy but the first latte had a piece of hair in it. Great food but not entirely family friendly -- it's a little tight to bring a baby in a stroller. Plus, as I was headed to the bathroom where I passed several employees no one bothered to give me a heads up the bathroom was too small to accommodate the stroller plus there was no changing table. Therefore, if you have a baby or toddler in diapers/pull ups, you wouldn't be able to change your child at this restaurant. Parking is free on street parking. Great kitchen, but the attention to detail, hygiene, and basic customer awareness really needs improvement.

The café con leche was smooth and flavorful with that classic Spanish-style taste--8.5/10. I also tried the strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing, slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh strawberries. Easy 8/10. For food, I had both the beef and chicken empanadas. They came out warm, fresh, and packed with flavor. I'd give each a 7.8/10. The real highlight is the atmosphere. The back area was a great place to sit and watch FIFA, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of café where you can enjoy a coffee, grab a snack, catch a game, or post up with your laptop and actually get some work done. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

The mango matcha sounded good but got the pina colada instead. The flavor was lacking. Not overly sweet but also didn't have much of a pina colada or even a matcha flavor.

Atmosphere remains the same: hip, industrial, and welcoming. I love the fact that the coffee here is as fresh as it can get. You can definitely taste the difference. You can also see it with your own eyes when you enter the shop, as there is an abundance of fresh coffee everywhere. You can't go wrong with the latte. This is what keeps me coming back. Bold, smooth, flavorful, and never bitter. The shop is clean and the staff are kind. Recommended 100%

The customer service is consistently excellent, the quality is fantastic, and there's always an amazing selection of artisan baked goods--often with something fresh coming right out of the oven. I'm a huge fan of the Watermelon Refresher and the Iced Americano with caramel cold foam. Most recently, I ordered lemonade from Uptown Coffee for my bridal shower signature cocktail, and it was absolutely wonderful. It paired perfectly with my rhubarb gin and was a huge hit with our guests. They are always a phone call away when I need a box of coffee (hot or iced!) for guests coming from out of town. If you're looking for great coffee, delicious baked goods, and genuinely kind people, Uptown Coffee never disappoints.

It's located close to Hackensack University Hospital and within a strip of stores. The staff performed magnificently and checked on us at perfect intervals.

I was very impressed with the presentation and portion sizes of the following: Spring Fling Omelette (asparagus, mushroom trio, goat cheese, hollandaise, grilled sourdough, greens, home fries), Avocado Toast (sunny side up eggs, radish, cilantro, pickled red onion, pico, aleppo pepper, evoo), and a stack of four large Blueberry Pancakes.

Well there is a row of street parking infront and across the street, but they're usually full and with a baby I was being very selective as to which spot I'll accept before venturing in. Luckily, the third time I passed, a spot opened up right in front. They had run out of baklava by 4pm that Thursday, I got a pistachio ball and cream puff instead. The pistachio ball was a little dry (I think it's suppose to be?) It wasn't for me. The cream puff on the other hand was delicious! The shell was nice and a little crispy and the cream had the perfect consistency, just gooey enough. It's not overly creamy/fluffy, it's a little more custardy side which I liked.

The woman that was working there was very friendly. Based on our late arrival, they were out of trubicky but we purchased a wide range of other delicious items. The chocolate covered cream puff can't be beat, it's one of the best cream fillings we've had in a dessert. The mosaic and brownie sandwich were also excellent. Baklava and another small chocolate filled item was also quite good. I'm looking to return for the trubicky.
