Upshot Coffee

A clean, high quality coffee shop with delicious chocolates and treats. The staff is super sweet, fun and charming. This inviting atmosphere is a wonderful place to have conversations, make new friends and study for school.

If you are looking for a new place to park your mind and lift your spirit this coffee shop is a great place to start and end your day.

I seriously am in love with this place! My friend brought me here about a week ago...and I've already been back twice. Took my husband there on a date tonight and he even loved it which is a big deal because he's much more of a critic :)

I had heard before I went there that the drinks were a little pricey- but really, they aren't any more expensive than Starbucks and they are a hundred times better than Starbucks. You definitely get what you pay for here.

The employees are all so friendly and so helpful (I'm kind of a coffee newbie). I really can't get over how friendly they are, actually. I am HUGE into customer service, and these guys surpass all my expectations every time. They really take the time to take care of their customers and that is something you don't get really anywhere.

Had dinner tonight and I was very very pleased with how good it was. The pumpkin bread we got for dessert to go with our coffee was equally as delicious :)

The place itself is very cute and cozy. I LOVE that they have cushioned seats out by several fire pits. Not too loud and just very chill.

Can you tell I'm pretty much obsessed? :P

So glad to be able to get a fantastic coffee in St. Charles! They have a great menu with classics and more specialty drinks you'd want to find at a good coffee shop but typically can't on this side of the river. I had the espresso and tonic and it was delicious. Will definitely be back.

I have tried to enjoy this place three times now. The environment is rarely calm and it is not a coffee shop that I would recommend trying to do homework at. The coffee is good, but because the atmosphere is so hectic I would rather go somewhere else. The service is also slow so expect a coffee to take 5-10 minutes (even without a line). This would be a good spot to catch up with friends, but as a student it is not an ideal coffee shop.

First time I went it I had to bail out because the line was taking too long for my little ones to maintain composure. There were some large families ordering before me so I understood. I live just up the street so it's not out of my way. Went in for a second time and there was no wait at all and I ordered my simple black coffee. The lady at the counter handed me my coffee and said "have a nice day :-)". I said that I hadn't paid yet and she said "I know". Yes, it may have been nearing closing time so the coffee was probably going to go to waste but regardless of that it was such a giving experience that I will never forget it. Can't wait to go back and actually pay for the coffee since it was indeed delicious!

Excellent coffee! One of my favorites. The cafe is a great environment to spend one reading or studying.

The veggie quiche had a unique blend of fresh veggies and the smoked honey Lavender latte was smooth and well balanced. The turmeric shot was just strong enough to get that kick of spice but balanced well enough not burn sting the throat. The staff was extremely pleasant!

Thought the food was overpriced at first, but then realized that the quality is so high that it is worth the price. Coffee is also very good for the price. Great atmosphere and very interesting unique things to buy in addition to coffee and pastries; you can buy different broths and tonics from the coolers next to where you stand in line.

Great atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the coffee was too. I did not have any food, but everyone else who was there were eating the cinnamon rolls and other pastries, so I'm assuming they're doing something right. I was there at opening, and the place was quickly busy. Ample seating was available for all.

Their coffee is the best around – delicious artisan espresso. They have good avocado toast too, but the last time I got it, it took nearly 30 minutes before it was ready. I was done with my latte by the time the avocado toast was served. Still, it was tasty so I'll probably try again and hope that my first experience was an exception.
