    Breakfast burrito
    Velnette J.

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat on a road trip. It was a cute little spot with awesome breakfast! I love the unique spin on basic menu items!

    Don't miss the out of the way coffee shop in Lawrence! Stopped by when I was in town for the day and ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat. Coffee was a perfectly smooth light roast and so excellent that I bought a bag of coffee to go. Uplift brews Cuvee coffee and the beans tasted just as great when I brewed them at home. The seating area is small and vibes are more cozy than upscale. Service was very quick and friendly. Highly recommend for coffee and beans!

    Conveniently located just a few blocks from the eastern turnpike exit; Uplift is a perfect place to stop on your way into Lawrence or a pitstop if traveling. A buddy and I stopped and met a mutual friend here for a brief visit in the patio area. The shaded area with running water seems remote, but is just a few feet out the backdoor. I ordered an $8 flight of summer iced drinks. Two iced coffee drinks: Kickin' Kansas with hot pepper spice and a sweet Dreamsickle; a strawberry lemonade and a citrus green tea rounded out the flight. A great combination of flavors, but I'd do without the Kickin Kansas next time, spicy coffee is just not my preference. Fun drinks, nice folks, relaxing environment and convenient location.

    Home of the best brownie I have ever eaten. I would give anything to know that recipe. The brownies alone are worth the stop off 70. Drinks were really good too.

    Black coffee (La Brea dark roast from Meridian, KS), Walnut Honey Latte (half sweet) and Lemon Blueberry Scone
    Gretchen S.

    We were in Lawrence one morning and picked this coffee place to check out. Delicious! We got a black coffee, a half-sweet Maple Walnut latte, and a Lemon Raspberry scone. Service was friendly and shop was cute inside. The scone was more of a muffin texture but the flavor was delicious--hint of lemon, whole blueberries, and a light glaze on top. The latte was smooth and delicious--all their syrups are House made! Overall we were impressed and would go back!!

    Homework with Iced latte and blueberry lemon scone!

    Adorable little coffee shop, definitely a new favorite. Super sweet staff and delicious pastries charging ports EVERYWHERE- great place to do homework or even just take a morning for yourself. Outside seating with a waterfall that's lovely and ambient. Such a big fan of the decor, very cozy but not too distracting!! Will be coming back :)

    North Lawrence needs options
    Tom V.

    North Lawrence hasn't had a grocery store since the Earth's crust cooled. The dining options for years were the 'family-owned' TexMex spots on Locust or 2nd Street. And though I do like me some Slow Ride, the bar options are somewhat tired as well (sorry, OG Johnny's). North Lawrence just hasn't had the pull in recent years. You know what else isn't north of the Kaw? Enough coffee spots. So.... Enter Uplift and, oh my, is it aptly named. The building itself isn't exactly airy or super well-lit, but the ownership is making a welcoming environment with its use of the space. A friendly staff (and on my initial visit, that staff included owner Kelly Huslig) and a nice array of munchables greet you at entry. The menu isn't overwhelming, and it's not sparse, either, which makes decisions much easier and enjoyment even sweeter. The coffee is sourced out of Austin (Cuvée Coffee) and is being done very well. I just sampled the dark roast drip, because, duh, *coffee* place and my hipster teen daughter opted for a sample of their cold brew. She has been so very into cold brew lately and her verdict: BEST cold brew she has had! Whatever made ownership choose Cuvée has been a really solid business decision! Add in a trio of peanut butter protein balls and the word of the day was YUM! There are paninis and baked goods, bottled juices and other beverage options, but if you want coffee, then Uplift is a *must try*! Prices are fair and completely on the level of their value, so you aren't dropping way too much on sugared-up coffee 'drinks' that blow your wallet and your diet simultaneously. And they even make their own syrup (photo'd) and while we did not sample them, just the idea alone is enough to goad me into a return visit. Behold the power of positivity. Lawrence, get thee across the Kaw and radiate your own positivity within the walls of Uplift!

    Summer drink flight
    Ashley My G.

    Such a cool coffee joint! I decided to visit here for a place to work and the staff was very friendly. I got the summer drink flight and my favorite was the citrus green tea and the Orange dreamsicle. The kickin' Kansas was interesting but not something I'd get again because I don't really like spicy coffee. If you plan to work inside, bring a jacket because it gets a little chilly with the AC on!

    Friday's special: breakfast burrito, cinnamon bun, and yummy coffee
    Emma L.

    Fantastic little shop just over the bridge! The interior is charming, coffee is perfect, and even the outdoor 'event' space is enticing. We love their cinnamon buns & Friday breakfast burritos the most! It has become a regular breakfast spot for us

    I had a honey latte with whole milk and it is delicious. I'd recommend this place any day

    Very friendly staff, fun seasonal syrups, and good coffee. They also had lots of food options from pastries to breakfast burritos.

    Mana is a quaint tea bar on the edge of the Massachusetts "strip" of shops and restaurants. Mana…read morehad a booth at the Midwest Tea Fest in September in KC, and Eric R. bought some tea from the booth that he liked. We just finished up at Allen Fieldhouse watching the Aggies lose to KU (poor Eric R.) and his work called with an emergency so he wanted to sit somewhere, get tea, and use his laptop. I suggested we go to Mana's location. There is free wifi and several places to sit. We decided to share a pot of tea. The tea expert let me try the tea of the day, Oriental Garden oolong, which was really good to me. However, Eric R. likes green tea so we had to agree. He suggested jasmine pearls, and I agreed. We sat down, had lots of cups of delicious jasmine green tea, and got work done. There was a tv playing Japanese anime quite loudly in the background, but we tuned it out. I would come back to try other teas.

    Diverse options for tea, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. This is a nice comfy spot…read morewhere you can rest assured that someone will help you select the perfect tea. With a sample of the tea of the day, offerings of kombucha, as well as snacks and gifts, you can cover more bases than just being caffeinated. There are cozy seating areas, kind employees, and a vibe of being removed from the chaos of the outside world. Check out their menu online for their offerings (loose leaf options, tea service, by the cup, Kava, Kratom, etc) ; not the basic, traditional tea you might expect. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful.
