    Breakfast burrito
    Lydia N.

    Service and food here were both great! Unfortunately it's a little small so it's not ideal for a group if you want to dine in, especially because it seems so popular. There's one large table that's maybe good for a family and then a couple of smaller tables and a counter, so there IS seating just very limited. I got the dirty matcha and the breakfast burrito - both delicious! My sweet tooth wanted the matcha to be sweetened but that was my miss for not asking. The burrito was pretty filling and I was stuffed after eating both halves of it (there were 2 others in my group who also got the burrito and they could only finish half). Would recommend for a quick brunch - they have other lunch offerings too, which were available during the breakfast hours!

    The food and service was amazing! One of the best California club wrap I've had. The ingredients were fresh and everything from sauces to seasoning came together perfectly. 10/10 recommend!!

    Uptown cafe is the best cafe around nova. They're a family owned business and you can tell they love what they do. They provide exceptional service to everyone and their food is amazing. Every dish I've tried has been delicious. They have a huge variety of sandwiches and bowls as well as drinks and pastries. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. They have a cute little smiski collection at the register which is adorable. This cafe is the perfect spot for lunch. 10/10

    Chicken fajita wrap
    Christina N.

    Uptown Cafe definitely exceeded my expectations. The online ordering was a little odd to me because they use Shop, which I associate with retail not food, but it all worked out. The man working, presumably the owner, was so kind and helpful when I came in to pick up my order. The food being wrapped in newspaper is cute and I like that the menu isn't too stacked, makes choosing easier. I ordered the chicken fajita wrap and I couldn't recommend it more! They really stuff these wraps, making them super filling as well as flavorful. It's a great price point and I'd definitely recommend coming here!

    California club wrap

    First time, won't be last. I love me a good Korean deli that's well run. Uptown Cafe has all the hallmarks- fresh ingredients, clean interior, fusion items, Korean handwriting on signs, etc. I placed an order online and when I went to pick up, the owner? Manager? Was conversing with the girl in front of me and he remembered her order. The cafe is adjacent to an apartment complex and seems to be a hub for its residents. It's also directly across from from Sedona Taphouse. I got a California wrap no ranch, add chipotle sauce. Delicious! I thought cucumbers in it would be weird but it was actually really refreshing and added a nice crunch. My friend got the chicken panini which was also delicious but not as good. I thought the bread was just okay. Both were assembled well with even layers of ingredients throughout. Next time I want to try the jerk chicken bowl everyone seems to be raving about. I will be back again!

    Sliders

    We visited this place while leaving the Marriott conference center and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The place is small but very clean, priced well, great portions and the food was amazing. The special of the day was grilled onion beef Sliders and they were to die for. They were so good that I wanted to order more for our 3 hour drive home. We also ordered the chicken panini which was very good. If I lived in this area I would visit this Cafe very frequently.

    First time visiting and the owners im guessing who were at the front were super inviting and kind. They gave us some recommendations on what's popular and about their specials that rotate and gave us the menu so it's easier to look at then the big board behind them. It's clean and bigger than you may think with seating going down the little hallway on the side. It takes a bit of time for them to make the order but that's because its all made fresh and comes out hot! Would love to return to try more of their menu and their famous breakfast burritos. Steak and cheese sub - Similar to a philly steak and cheese roll but better! meat was soft. everything was seasoned well. Perfect amount of sauce and cheeese that added the great flavor but not too much so it wouldn't feel so heavy. Good veggie amount to balance. 3.5/5 Carribean Jerk Chicken - Taste kinda like a healthier chipotle. Chicken was cooked great but i do wish it had more seasoning. Toppings are good but would love if it had a little extra something like spicy to bring the flavor up! 2/5 Fries - Very hot and fresh. great crispiness and fluffy potatoes inside! seasoning was good too. 3.25/5

    Fresh bakery items

    We absolutely love Uptown Café! My wife and I visit often, and it's always a treat. The food and drinks are consistently delicious, and the warm welcome from the owners--a wonderful couple--makes every visit feel special. Their breakfast burritos are hands-down the best in town, and this cozy spot is the perfect pick-me-up any day of the week.

    Took the California Club Wrap to go.
    Linda J.

    So glad we stopped here on our way out of town because of all the great reviews. We walked in and were warmly welcomed by a man behind the counter. He asked us if it was our first time here. When we told him yes, he went on to explain the menu, etc to us. I picked the California Club wrap to go and had the ranch dressing on the side. My wrap was very fresh tasting and neatly made. It was easy to eat. If I am in the area again, I would not hesitate to come back to this Uptown Cafe's Westfields location for a sandwich, wrap, panini, or bowl.

    Visited Uptown Cafe this weekend for brunch, where both their breakfast and lunch menus were still available. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly welcomed--by who I assume is the owner. We probably looked a little lost while scanning the menu (because we were), so he kindly gave us insight into the most popular items, which we really appreciated. I ended up going with their well-loved breakfast burrito and a white mocha iced latte. The burrito did not disappoint--in fact, it was beyond excellent. It was packed with flavor, yet surprisingly light, and unlike most breakfast burritos, it wasn't greasy or oily at all (no messy spillage!). As for the white mocha, it was exactly what I expected--delicious and satisfying. The cafe itself is super cute, though I will note that indoor seating is limited. Most tables are set for two, with one table for three, and there's a high-top bar that could fit a group of four, though that doesn't seem to be its main purpose. However, I heard there are plenty more seating options outside when the weather is nice, so I'll have to come back and check it out. I highly recommend stopping by this cafe (they also have fresh pastries!) and trying a breakfast burrito. Plus, the owner and his family are the sweetest people.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Tony T.

    This is it.... Look no further because this place has possibly the best breakfast burrito in Chantilly. You can tell the burrito is made with love because it's packed with flavor, stuffed with fresh ingredients, and made to order. The staff is also incredibly nice, friendly, and efficient. I waited probably 5 mins in total which made the whole experience much better.

    Caribbean Jerk Chicken Bowl and Latte - there was no jerk in that chicken! Disappointing!
    Lynn O.

    I'm not sure what all the hype is here, but my experience was pretty disappointing. The Caribbean Jerk Chicken bowl looked and sounded interesting, so I had to try it. I've had plenty of jerk chicken and there was no taste of the seasoning in this one. Although the vegetables in the bowl were fresh, it was topped with a bit too much chipotle sauce, which ruined it even more. I will say that the portion of the bowl was decent, though. My latte was also mediocre. They didn't have oat milk either. The staff who took my order looked like the owner or manager and he wasn't the friendliest nor was he trying to be helpful.

Disappointed I also had a blood orange sunset, which was good, refreshing, sort of like a reverse Tequila Sunset. The meatloaf itself was good but the pate was hit or miss. There wasn't much meat loaf, mostly mashed potatoes, string onions, and corn. I felt for the price the meatloaf serving size was just not quite enough. It seemed like it was deliberately hidden in there. I was expecting something more. The Kickin Crab and Corn Chowder, sans description, was also..unexpected. It was an option with the meatloaf and contained a lot of pepper. Black pepper. Not the ... Chesapeake Favorite "Kickin" expectation.. We had a mimosa, good, a little weak. Overall, it's an ok place to grab a meal, the menu has many options, they have milkshakes and martinis of sorts, not a full bar, unfortunately, you can't get milkshakes with alcohol, which I think is a tremendous hole in their menu, but I found everything to just be a little rough around the edges. Leaving.. What sealed the deal was that after all that, instead of staying to have drinks, etc. we.. decided to go to a different restaurant for something more.

John R is an outstanding bartender who knows his craft, is very nice and really just enjoyable to talk to and be around. He takes the time to ask how you're doing, and he'll remember your name after your first visit. The bar has a wonderful selection of drinks, and they're all different and interesting. Most are not just standard classic drinks, but rather ones that feature a spin on such drinks. For example, they don't just serve an old fashioned, because everyone's had one, but they have a coconut old fashioned that is unique and I'd definitely recommend that one. Their food a little pricier than other options around, but it is very good. You can tell the their food is made from scratch, and the quality of ingredients is very apparent, and for that, I do pay their prices.

If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop by, no matter time of day. Grab coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy hour, you won't be disappointed.
