"The New Uptown Cafe delivers on delicious comfort food, homey atmosphere, and friendly staff. Service attentiveness and hospitality could use some work based on my first experience here if it wants to live up to its older sister, Uptown Diner, down the street. Still, the soup of the day and cornbread hit the spot on a cold December morning in the neighborhood."

"My family stopped at Uptown on our way out of Minneapolis. Our server Kelly was so incredibly wonderful - above and beyond. She excels at her job & it’s obvious she treats all her diners with the utmost care and is attentive, even when the cafe is busy and she’s managing several tables. She immediately brought us a car seat sling, gave recommendations, provided clarity on food and drink options, and sent us on our way with coffee to-go because we’re clearly exhausted parents haha. Kelly, if you see this, you are a gem & you brightened my day. Thank you for the fresh OJ squeezed with love!"

"Wow! The NewUptown Cafe is unbelievable! First the staff are all wonderful people. Our waitress, Anayeli, was prompt, friendly and fabulous. Next the facility and decor are very invting. The color scheme and design are chic and modern. Local top quality artists work is displayed throughout the cafe. Last and certainly not least..the food. Choices are unique and many. I had the pineapple pancakes.. delicious! My friend enjoyed the huge egg and toast platter. All is carefully prepared in the spotless kitchen. Yes 5stars all around!"

"We had a great Sunday breakfast 🥞🍳🥓🧇. Our server, Mai, was excellent. It wasn't busy but I think that was because on the weather (-10F). Three of our group had the breakfast special. We had our choice of French toast, pancake or waffle. Each of us tried a unique option and all were happy with our choice. The pancakes were colossal! He got two pancakes with the #2 special and each was larger than a traditional plate. The country fried steak was good. The steak was nice and crispy. They had very good eye bread. There is no parking free close."

"Very good food, service, and atmosphere all around had a great 7 am breakfast on a Saturday. Parking was easy at the nearby ramp with a half block walk. The homemade caramel pecan roll (not pictured) was super good!! Great coffee :) Ribeye (6 oz) Benedict was perfect - large portion."
