Up Cafe & Up Coffee Roasters OPEN until 7pm daily

hands down best cold brew in town brewed with their signature Matador Roast. Definitely come here for the hot and cold brews. The flavor freshness and strength are all on point. If you drink coffee like I do they sell all their beans in 1 pound and 5 lbs pound bags!! I go for the 5’er!

Always good to find a good roaster/shop combo and Up Cafe is one of those. Good coffee, groovy shop, nice merch, in a light industrial location. Tasty cappuccinos.

On of the best cafes I have been to so far. I liked everything that I have tried here. I would also recommend getting coffee bag from their store.

Love these guys! One of my favorite roasters not just in the city - but anywhere. They have great tasting notes to help you pick out the roast that is right for you. I am able to order on their site and have the coffee directly delivered to my house! Just got the Angry Bull - one of my favorite! Olivia & staff at their cafe loaction are amazing!

TLDR: overpriced, bad taste (burnt and fruity), paid for 20oz and got 15.75oz cup

There's a photo from a year ago claiming the 20oz drip coffee used to be 2.95 which seemed reasonable but it is now 4.27 with tax for a plain black coffee. I usually drink coffee for the caffeine so I asked the barista for a 20oz drip of whichever had the most caffeine in it at which point she explained that they weigh it so all coffee has the same caffeine, the only variable I care about is constant. Not a great situation. I wait until I'm home to give the coffee a taste and it's pretty burnt tasting along with a slightly fruity taste for some odd reason. The cup looked pretty low so I measured it and it wasn't even their smaller 16oz size. The cup can barely hold 21oz when completely full. For someone who mainly cares about my caffeine addiction this place isn't for me.

Up Coffee is great. They have some great snacks too. I’ve been addicted to these gluten-free bars.

You can't go wrong with UP. They have the best whole bean coffee in the Twin Cities. I can't rave enough about the freshness and flavor, but the most important thing is the people. They have amazing service. My online orders are fulfilled so quickly. A real person emails me an order confirmation. That is rare and refreshing in this day and age. You can tell that the employees feel cared about. I could go on and on...

First time - tried a spinach/feta pastry (amazing!) and the Mariachi (a take on a Mexican mocha, love the hint of spice).

The cafe is clean and spacious with lots of open space, could accommodate wheelchairs easily.

Roastery is open to view from the cafe if you are curious about that stuff!

Veggie Quiche was great. Girlfriends chestnut vanilla latte was solid. Cortado was too large of a size for ratio of espresso to milk and somehow it tasted really burnt still? That part was really disappointing. Maybe I'll try the pour over next time.

It seems like every other roaster in the twin cities like to burn their espresso blends. Sad.

Our barista was Jimmy. We were from out of town and were curious about some of the signature coffee drinks. He explained how they developed some of the recipes and the extra steps they took to make sure each drink was flavorful and perfect. We really enjoyed talking to him and really enjoyed the coffee. Highly recommend.
