    Cranberry orange scone with Devonshire cream
    Rachel S.

    Cute, quaint, and quite delicious all describe Upper Crust Cafe and Bakery. It's unassuming from the outside but upon entry you're greeted with a lovely display of fresh baked goods. The scones are out of this world, not to mention they're huge. You have to try them! Just past the counter is their dining room, which can fill up quickly during season. We visited Upper Crust in the summer on a weekday so we were quickly seated and served. The menu has great variety and is very well priced. My eggs and turkey bacon were solid and my husband's Benedict was great.

    cranberry scone # 600 for the day!!!  They said they were out but this was saved for pickup but not claimed!!!!  WOW WOW WOW.

    WOW, let's start and finish with that. ........before starting as well, the service here was some of the most fantastic, pleasant, perfect "zone defense" table ready service in my over 45 years of global travel!!! NATALIE was super awesome!!!! (more on this later) April 12, 2025 - 4 for brunch/12:45 pm day of the insane Shark Tooth Festival. There were like 20,000 people and a few hundred tents of vendors on this day?? Insane. Friends (one who is my classmate from PA in the 1970s!) who lived on a sailboat (57 ft Lagoon catamaran) in Venice harbor many years, have just returned after many 1,000s of miles and having tried quiche in about 15 countries and sailed from Boston to the Panama Canal, Puetro Rico and back firmly stated ------ THIS is where they wanted to go on their 2 days here? THIS is the best quiche place they have been anywhere!!! Crazy? Well its turns out NO!!!!!! Three (3) of us got the ham and cheese(s) quiche with a side salad and I got the vegetable quiche w/salad. This was a STUNNINGLY tasty and perfectly cooked quiche at proper temperature and fantastic ingredients and cheeses!!! Crust? Magnificent.... toss your carb, dairy, oil, flour, gluten, sugar paranoia and EAT THAT THING!!! SOOOO good! The salad was "made" fresh and the dressing perfect. The fresh greens and vegetable would have made this a fine entree or free standing dish!!! The two together - PERFECT. We had begun our order with a request for 4 scones, BUT BUT BUT by ~ 1 pm they had sold SIX HUNDRED SCONES that day?????????? So we were denied. Because I am basically a whiner, nag and a pest, I kept joking with Natalie our server, that my vegetable quiche sure would have been awesome IF I ONLY HAD A SCONE OF MY OWN!!!! (hear small violin in the background) I was relentless and joking......... but something magically happened? A take out /pick up had not taken place and the product freed up!!!!!! Natalie swept in like Cat Woman and snapped up that scone and dashed to our table!!!!! A bit of homemade whipped cream and that hot cranberry/orange scone - WOW oh boy scrumptious, we four split that little treasure and REALLY enjoyed it!!!! We took what they had and we were NOT disappointed!! Did I emphasize what fantastic service with here BY ALL the wait staff as about 4 people brought food, handled the bottomless water glasses, the food delivery...and the whole place was fully covered and satisfied!!!! That Natalie was a great sport and put up with me!!!! Hats Off and Bravo! Must go here!! and we will absolutely be going back for what we are told are the two KILLER to die for scones!!!!!!! The Blueberry Scone and the most awesome scone - the Lemon Poppy!!!!!!!!!!!! (okay so I will never be able to get any of them now that YOU reading this are going to beat me to them???) This place hits all the buttons and rings all the bells.... service, decor, cleanliness, seating, food prep, quality, cooking, delivery.... oh my! Thank you Natalie and team Upper Crust - you certainly are!!!!

    Coming from LA to Venice, I don't have very high expectations for restaurants in Venice. As the options for good food in Venice is very limited in my opinion. My mom is kind of health freak and doesn't often like to eat out because of this, but when she recommended we pick up some pastries from the bakery. I knew this place must be legit, but I was still skeptical nevertheless. In hindsight, I should have ordered the pastries from the today in the air conditioning as the weather is very hot as you know. It's not so comfortable sitting outside with a small child. My mother wanted to sit outside so we did. The World Famous Scones are legit and they are the perfect texture for a scone as they are soft and moist, but hard at the same time. Sometime when you order a scone they are tough and dry. Not these they were very fresh. We ordered the blueberry scones. The cashier asked if we'd like to try some Devonshire Cream. Who am I to say no?! We each try a spoonful of that succulent cream and it was heavenly. I recommend that you order the Cream with your scone. It's a game changer. Scones are very good on their own, but even better with the cream. We also ordered the Crumb Cake and the Lemon Bars and they also very delicious. I highly recommend if you come into this bakery if you come to Venice. Order anything from the bakery and you won't be disappointed.

    Pancakes & sausage. Syrup was thick & tasty.
    Mary P.

    Tasty strawberry crepes with delicious Devonshire cream! Mmm.... Hubby had pancakes & sausage patties topped with an egg. Pancakes were good & sausage had a nice flavor. The waitresses were chipper & really hustled! Hubby only got his coffee warmed up once. I just got water & should have gotten a bottle of it. Place is bright & clean. A little snafu in folks trying to get bakery items while others are waiting for tables. Oh, we grabbed a couple of key lime bars for later!

    Breakfast tacos
    Loren L.

    The food here was so delicious! We ordered the crab cake Benedict and breakfast tacos and I took a pastry to go. The weather was perfect so we got to enjoy the outside seating.

    We ordered breakfast. It arrived cold. The butter didn't melt on either her pancakes or my toast. This was the only problem. Otherwise the food was decent. Not worth what we paid but decent.

    Banana bread French toast with bacon
    Dawn D.

    Yum! What a treat. Small place on Venice Ave with great food and baked goods. We had the coconut cake a few days ago as a carry out item and loved it. Today we both had the banana bread French toast. It was great. Not too sweet and very filling especially with the included meat. Looks like they have a lot of regular diners. Neighboring tables had the scones with clotted cream and raved about them. Good service and clean as well

    The scones are outstanding and worth driving for, but this spot gets too packed for parties of more than 4.
