Customer Reviews
This place was a very pleasant surprise. Delicious options, mostly vegetarian but the egg and cheese biscuit was good. Don't leave without trying the bread pudding with lemon curd and toasted meringue. It's Amazing!
Best muffin I ever had. The place is super nice and the staffs are friendly. The vegan sandwich is also super delicious. If I come back to this town, I will definitely go back to the Upper Bend.
If you enjoy being talked to like an inconvenience before you even place your order, congratulations—you’ve found the right spot. I walked in with a friendly “hi!” and was met with the kind of dismissive energy you normally reserve for someone who keyed your car. I had checked the online menu beforehand and saw scones listed, so I asked for one… only to get a snotty “we don’t have that here,” like I should’ve known better. My bad for believing their own website, I guess. After sitting down, I thought I heard my name called—I’m partially deaf, so I asked for confirmation. Instead of a basic human response, I got hit with a loud, snappy “ITS YOURS!” Like… relax? It’s just coffee, not airport security. For what it’s worth, my latte and COOKIE were actually good, but not good enough to deal
I have been going to the Upper Bend for the past two years and have been delighted every time. The food is creative, real, and delicious. Try the Olive Oil Pumpkin Bread. It does not disappoint! It seems everyone from the town comes through the doors each morning. The baristas seem genuinely happy to provide you with your order. Today I was served by Cory, who was obviously needing to be about three people at the same time, but managed to take my order with total graciousness. The vibes are just so darn good here.
Delicious and cozy vibes. Tasty drinks, I got their version of a London fog (note: unlimited refills of drip coffee, not as common as it used to be!) A decent variety of breakfast/lunch items to suit different diets and palates with customizable add ons such as chili crisp, xo sauce, carrot, and sausage pattes. Got the bowl of potatoes- I personally loved every bite. The herbs balanced the sweet and sour onions quite well. Got the biscuits- as a baker myself if had to try, they were so cute and tiny but a very hearty crumb and bite to them. They seemed to have a wheat flour base. Partner got the egg sandwich and a alice of coconut maple coffee cake. Every bite was consumed. Very easy ordering processs, though it's a counter ordering and seat yourself kind of place, so I imagine sometim
