Upshot Coffee Brake Shop

"Seasonal Mistletoe Matcha tastes great…perfect amount of mint without overpowering the tea with sweetness"

"We enjoyed our visit here. I ordered the cappuccino special with honey cinnamon. I liked it, but I wasn’t blown away. My husband ordered the Witch’s Brew special with mocha and caramel, but it didn’t really taste like anything other than a latte. So it wasn’t bad, we like a plain latte, but not really what we were expecting. So not our favorite local coffee we’ve had but still good. The cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich I really liked! Both were warm and the biscuits on the sandwich were delicious. Our only other complaint was that the bar we sat at was pretty sticky and needed to be wiped down. It wasn’t super busy when we were there so just wished it would have been a little cleaner. The shop would be the perfect spot to come back and hang out for a couple hours. It had a great vibe. There’s hardly any parking, so expect to park on the street. Not a huge deal for us, and it wasn’t hard to find a spot a short walk away."

"Live down the road and have been wanting to try this place. The interior is simple, I like the subtle nod to its former purpose (auto shop?) Seems like it may be a nice space to hangout, like most coffee shops… Only giving them 3 stars for the following reasons: Parking? What parking. The barista was lacking… friendliness? Holy inflation ($8 for a matcha latte with 20% tip) With all that being said, I most likely will be back. I’d rather support local than Starbucks. Just maybe, don’t treat your customers like they’re a burden ;-)"

"So, up front I will say that I have been to the st Charles location a handful of times and never liked my coffee. Our group decided to give them another shot at this location. They definitely raised the bar! I tried the brown sugar vanilla latte with almond milk and it was very good! My buddy got a shot of espresso and he said it's gotten better too! This is a cool brake shop vibe. The servers were patient with our group and sweet."
