Uptown Cafe

Breakfast for lunch? Yes please! I forgot my lunch at home and decided to stop in to Uptown Café for a little afternoon breakfast treat to get me through the workday. I was able to walk right in and get a table with no wait at about 12:15PM. The server greeted me before I even had my coat off and took my drink order before I was seated. I've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed by anything that comes out of their kitchen. I opted to keep it simple today with their Breakfast Combo 3. 2 crispy slices of bacon, 2 perfectly fried over medium eggs, and an indulgent side of their housemade strawberry jam that paired wonderfully with two slices of their housemade sourdough. Having an hour for lunch, I was able to walk to their location, find a seat, order, be served, and peacefully enjoy my breakfast-for-lunch with plenty of time to get back to my office. Uptown Café maintains the charm of a classic no-frills diner while bestowing upon us the delectable culinary talents and craftsmanship of total pros in their kitchen. Their copious assortment of homemade treats and condiments available for sale allow you to take home a little piece of heaven. Their hot sauce and their strawberry jam are completely phenomenal!

I've been to the Uptown Cafe in Bloomington and was eager to try this location. Interior is a bit less cozy yet service staff were just as wonderful. Some menu options were different so it took awhile to decide what to order. The Breakfast Burrito was quite tasty and filling.

The service and atmosphere are very welcoming. Service is always good and food comes out quickly and prepared well. Our meals weee cooked perfectly. The corn beef hash was plentiful and eggs done exactly to order. My breakfast was traditional but hash browns were extra crispy and eggs and bacon were good too. The coffee was hot and fresh not much more you could ask for in a neighborhood breakfast place.

Wanted something for lunch that wasn't a burger place. Decide to give Uptown a try. Service was good and quick. Food didn't wow us was just good. We had the quiche with side salad and Philly sandwich.

This is a nice little cafe for grabbing some breakfast or brunch. We went here to try something new for lunch one day and i felt like ordering some breakfast food. The interior is very bright and warm with a cool mural on one side. The chairs are basic wooden and there many windows to view the trees that surround the building. There could be a little more art or decorations on the wall when you immediately enter.For food, I chose a breakfast sandwich with a fruit cup for a side. I am usually fairly hungry at lunch time so I should have gone with something else as the sandwich did not fill me up. It did taste good and the fruit seemed fresh with a good variety. I was envious of my friend's breakfast bowl which would have been a better choice for me. The prices were just a bit high as my sandwich and fruit were $11.00. I wouldn't mind if there was a bit more food but bread, bacon, cheese and eggs shouldn't be that much.The service was good and he was very attentive. We also came for an early lunch at around 11am so it was not crowded yet. Nice place though and I would come back to try one of the breakfast bowls for sure.

This is a fun little diner with good food. Although I didn't order it this visit, their eggs Benedict is my favorite of any restaurant. Since it was a Friday during Lent, I had the veggie quiche and pancakes. The quiche was a generous serving, piping hot and tasty. The pancakes were good, but not very fluffy. It's always a fun start to a day of shopping on the square.

Service was great, sweet tea was sooooo good! I loved my meal? Hot extra sides on my hashbrowns!!

I felt like I walked into an assisted living dining room... since I was alone none of the servers approached me, so I left without eating. Less tip with a 1 top I guess. I'll never be back.... it was very empty before lunch hour....

What a great spot! If you're in the area this a very convenient and worth the stop. The restaurant is large and has plenty of tables. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had to order some to go food and they were quick with it. The coffee was nice and hit the spot while I waited. Plain bagel and cream cheese. Not as good as a NYC one but still good. Sorry we are spoiled. The small yogurt parfait was great with fresh fruit like strawberries melon and grapes. I got the vanilla tougher and the granola was also good. The corned beef hash bowl was very nice. The corned beef seemed home made (not the canned stuff) served over some hash browns and with 2 eggs.

I've been eating here for a while now, and today was the first time they have ever given me or my company the wrong order. Not only did our waitress, Tammy, replace my burger (all boxed to-go as well since I was short on time) but she let me keep the other one for my partner instead of tossing it out! She also gave us a cinnamon roll on the house as the cherry on top. Her service, as well as the great food here, are why this place deserves some recognition. Thanks Tammy!
