Uplift coffee

A wonderful hidden gem in Lawrence!Visiting from seattle I had one coffee destination to hit up while I was out here and I spent the rest of my stay finding other local shops that offered good cups. The second I walked in and smelled the beans I knew this place would be great. They get beans from Cuvée and brew them up well. My americano was smooth and flavorful as was my partners latte. The baristas know what they're doing and we were fortunate enough to meet the owner who was just absolutely lovely. This place is absolutely worth checking out and adding to your list of frequent stops.

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.

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 :)

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.

Just adequate. Barely. The coffee was decent, but they were out of sugar free hazelnut syrup, which was about 50% of the reason we went. Now the banana bread is what saves this from a 1 star. It's amazing. The service was ok. It took a bit to get our food, which was fresh, but flavorless. I tried the salsa and am pottery sure it was pace salsa or something out of a jar. The "hot sauce" tasted fermented. I had the feta spinach scramble, and trust me, I make them better at home. Maybe 3 pieces of spinach and undercooked eggs. My husband had the sausage breakfast burrito and kept putting the horrible salsa on it because otherwise his was dry and hard to eat. Overall, we wish we had saved our money because it was a 20-30 dollar mistake.

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!!

We passed through town today headed to Baldwin City, and whenever we hit a new town we usually go for a local coffee shop on the way to our destination.Boy, were we glad we stopped here!I ordered a matcha latte (hot, of course. A winter storm's coming!) and their winter vegetable quiche. My husband had a caramel latte and one of their sausage, egg, and cheese croissants. The drinks were delicious and really helped take the edge of this very cold winter morning, and the food was scrumptious.The service was quick and the staff cordial. The ambiance is fairly quiet and peaceful, great for my audio-sensitive kiddo. A fantastic start to our holiday excursion.

Lovely place with kind staff and delicious food and drinks. Great patio! Multiple locations this is great for groups and for travelers off the interstate

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!

I have been here a couple times while visiting a friend in Lawrence. Coffee is great and food comes out quickly even when it's busy! Their signature lattes are creative and the croissant sandwiches are always delicious!
