Reviews for Uptown Coffee Company in Marion, IA
I?ve stopped in while visiting a few times now and I wish we had a location closer to where I live because this place is... amazing! The coffee is brewed incredibly well and is so so smooth and flavorful, you can tell there is a lot of effort thatgoes into sourcing high quality, and well roasted beans. Also, the panini I ordered was absolutely delicious. Completely blowsyour run of the mill coffee shops out of the water. I have never had bad service here and love the plants they have up givingit such a homey and calming aesthetic. I definitely recommend! Read more
Just a photo of my coffee cup edge! Why? Because hubby and I already demolished our breakfast food and drank our coffees. I do t... put syrups in mine, but I love that they make their own syrups. Also, the food is fresh, beautiful, great ingredients and yummy.The staff is super friendly. We sat outside. What a lovely way to start our day. Read more
Overview - We started visiting Uptown Coffee Company almost a year ago. When it comes to excellent Espresso, consistency, food... options for most anyone, and exemplary smiling staff, this is our go-to location! Out of Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, andIowa City (we lucked out living only 5 minutes away). We usually visit at least five times a week. Need I say more? Don?t worry,I will ;) More detail below! Espresso Rating I love the darker roasted beans for My espresso, and Uptown does not disappoint!It?s consistent, and I can always depend on the same drink quality. My go-to is a Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk. Depending on howrough of a day it has been, I?ll add another shot, and all is made right. Some would say I have A obsessive coffee disorder. Ifyou would like to have a fruitier/lighter roasted Espresso experience, they also offer that! Pretty cool, right! StaffExperience Okay. Like how do you get such amazing people!? It shows that Uptown Owners Lexi and Rex have fantastic skills forselecting extraordinary employees. Each one of them (Seth, Auri, Vivian, Jori, Katy, Sophie, sorry if I misspelled any ofthose!) greet my family with smiles and know our drinks by memory. Location feel and atmosphere I absolutely love the feel ofthis location. You have a beautiful quaint coffee shop in the front. From amazing crown molding and rustic floors to unique artin the back area (you can walk through the double doors where the deer head is and enjoy your coffee or food in the pub area,Uptown Snug, they will even bring you your drink or food) which just gives so much more space and includes games our kids loveto play! Especially Skip-Bo. We also love your online ordering system for when we are in a rush :)! Food I love that theysupport other small local businesses with great food choices like bread from Great Harvest, honey, or even those sought-afterdonutland doughnuts. It?s pretty unusual to find a Coffee location that balances individual/family experie Read more
I love stopping here for coffee and breakfast. Their blueberry cold brew is so good and has a natural sweetness! I've only had... the breakfast panini with bacon and it's always hot with perfectly cooked eggs. They carry Donutland donuts too. Lots of seatingin the back and patio. Read more
Uptown Coffee always has excellent service! I enjoy coming in and the breakfast burrito is fire.
We pop in occasionally and every time the staff is very nice and helpful they even serve donutland donuts here! It?s nice having... this on this side of town! Great coffee and donuts 5/5 for uptown coffee! Read more
The atmosphere was very cool but the food was terrible. I ordered veggies with ham and added a wrap ???? for an extra fee, only... to find out they just wrapped it in a tortilla and burned the bottom in a panini press. I will probably get coffee here againbut won't eat here again. Read more
Visited for the first time yesterday to work on a project. Great coffee! Atmosphere was great. Glad to see they were busy! Going... back today to continue my project. I will defiantly put them at the top of my list to meet friends and clients. Lots of spaceunlike other coffee shops in the area. Read more
