I'd maybe order it to go but don't think I'd sit for a chat - see below. Food: Standard coffee shop fare. Served in to go containers (not sure where the photos of plated food came from but that was not my experience). Not sure if it rotates. Fries were well salted but a bit overcooked. Burger was well salted but not noteworthy. Egg sandwich was meh. For my money I'd hit the Map Room or LP Street Food for a meal. Now, for the bad part. It was dirtyyyyy. I ran a damp napkin over the table and it came up brown. Honestly I think we left it cleaner than when we arrived. Floors were dirty and I don't really want to think too much about the bathroom.... I can't recommend this place for food but the coffee was pretty good.

If you're looking for an amazing boba spot, go here!!!…read more I've been looking for decent boba for over a year now, and my professor recommended this place. I'm done looking, this is the best out there! I got the taro milk tea with brown sugar boba and my boyfriend got the brown sugar milk tea with boba as well. Both were phenomenal. I did want to try their sea salt foam matcha but since they import their matcha from Japan, they were out due to recent shortage. I will be back to try this and sandwiches too! Service was so nice and kind, and the shop is so cute! They had decorated walls it felt homey inside. Absolutely worth the visit!

Unfortunately, when it came out, I thought it was way too greasy to be served. It was almost as if the hashbrowns hadn't had time to drain from the oil. If you're hung over, it might be a quick fix back to life but for somebody just trying to grab a meal it was a little disappointing. The chocolate chip cookie at the checkout counter was dank though.

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.

My iced latte was decent and the avocado toast was alright. The avocado toast was plain and simple which I prefer some more seasoning like at home we add garlic or tajin seasoning on our sourdough bread with avocados. I would go again and I would go for something different for drinks and food. My friend's pancakes and eggs looked yummy. The service was good!

The food was amazing. The drink were 100/10 I loved the cups for the drinks. Reminds me of home with my family in Mexico. You will not regret coming here. Amazing vibes, food and people. The owners did an amazing job with this place. So aesthetically pleasing. A staple for sure.

I have loved their quesabirria in the past but unfortunately they were out, so I went with the steak quesadilla instead. It was decent, but nothing to die for. I was thinking about quesabirria the whole time... Someone else at the table ordered three ground beef tacos (which technically isnt on the menu but is easy enough to make) but unfortunately they were also out of ground beef. The Ozzy's bowl was delicious and I would recommend that to anyone trying to choose something from their LARGE menu. The Horchata was a big plus - nice and sweet (and the large size is LARGE). The sprite was flat and the salsa wasn't giving everything I wanted (I did ask for salt which helped). Service was pretty good, with some wait time between drink orders/check ups, but it was pretty busy, so all props to the server! Also, the steak tacos made for great leftovers the next day. Thanks cafe tacuba!

I visited my sister in the neighborhood and was overjoyed when I realized that Kismet was essentially sitting on top of what I must assume is a well that pumps the matcha from matcha heaven. It was so so good. Kind staff and very cool staff, great flower selection, I just loved it here and can't wait to visit my sister again so I can tap into this matcha gold mine.

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.

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.
