Up Cafe & Up Coffee Roasters

Very nice little cafe! Smaller space but tons of indoor and outdoor seating (with a fire pit). Almost all the indoor tables were full on a Saturday afternoon in fall, with a few people sitting outside.Very small parking lot, but there is street parking around the corner.I got a Black Salted Caramel latte, and it didn't really taste any of the caramel. The barrista was happy to give me some more caramel flavor when I asked, though, and I prefer my drinks waaaayyyy sweeter than most people.The pastry options also looked delicious.

Lovely place to stop for coffee, chat with friends, catch up on some work. When walking in, the bakery items were front and center. Getting to the counter, both employees welcomed me and asked what I would like. They made my espresso right away, and was ready while I was still at the 'order' side of the counter! Only reason for 4 star is the espresso was a bit bitter for me and left an aftertaste. The cold brew was delicious and would highly recommend especially if you enjoy floral notes.

I am always looking for a new coffee place to do work or try new places out! UP cafe is truly a hidden gem located in Minneapolis. They offer a small parking lot but has lots of street parking. The place is very cozy giving it a sweet little charm. There is also a little outdoor seating which is perfect for this summer!I got one of their seasonal signature items, the Horchata. I added oatmilk to it and it was so refreshing with the perfect blend of rich and creamy flavor. There is a hint of cinnamon making it all come together. I also got a toffee cookie. When it comes to pastries I will always get one with my drink! There were many options to choose from the menu and I hope to be back soon to try out all the different drinks.Overall, this is a must try spot for anyone looking for a new coffee shop!

I *might* have to update this review when I go back and order my "Go To" drink...since I ventured out and got one of their signature menu items. I JUST discovered this coffee shop, when a friend told me it was in the area. It's tucked back and a hidden gem. I ordered an iced (yes I still get iced when I have to wear my gloves to hold my coffee) Lumberjack: vanilla, brown sugar, maple. It gave a nuttier flavor but was really good. It was $7.03 so it better be good - but I'd say prices are slightly cheaper than Five Watt so bonus points there. Next time I'll try the iced vanilla oat latte and report back. Parking? Small lot + plenty of street spots!WFH? Absolutely coming back to work form here. Plenty of tables and space.Catch up with a friend? Can do that, too! There were a few meet ups going on when I was in and it wasn't too loud. Service? The staff answered my questions and got my drink out to me fast. I went on a cold Sunday morning, so not sure if it's always that quick but I was very impressed!

Up Coffee Roasters is a go to coffee shop for me in a city with a lot of great options. The thing that keeps me coming back is the vibe and variety. Out front, the shop has outdoor seating with fire pits in the winter, and small tables inside perfect for working or just enjoying some coffee. At the counter, a variety of delicious lattes and other elaborate drinks, great drip coffee and some fantastic nitro coldbrew. And for roasted whole beans, a plethora of options for all coffee palates. This spot is a top spot for a coffee and restocking on beans.

Up coffee roasters is a gem hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the Como neighborhood. I've bought their coffee wholesale and love the flavor, so I was excited to pound out a few hours of work in the coffee shop today. The interior is fun and modern, and there's great music playing over the speakers. I had the lumberjack latte, which is sweet without being too overpowering. Still tastes like coffee, which is important!

This coffee shop saved me! I had definitely over indulged the night before and needed some coffee to get through the day. The lumberjack at up cafe was just what I needed. It was really tasty and unique. I'd get it again for sure.

Up is easily one of my favorite coffee shops in the Twin Cities! Quality coffee, delicious pastries, plenty of space and seating inside (with outlets) and out, friendly staff--plus the roaster is next door so I can take home beans.

Up Coffee Shop is my favorite coffee shop in the area! I have been here several times over the years and their quality has stayed consistent and well. I highly recommend their honeybee blender (tastes like a graham cracker in the best way) and a pastry. They also have a small-batch roastery with several types of coffee to sell. Service is always quick and kind, and the baristas always have recommendations. There is also outdoor seating with a fire pit!Bathrooms: cleanNote for hearing impaired: very easy to have a conversation. Music is quiet. Note for those with mobility issues: there's is a step you need to take to get into the shop, but plenty of space inside. Parking: small free parking lot in front and free street parking.

It's more of a bakery and coffee shop than a cafe. Still excellantBut if you want lunch not available
