Crema's Take

“Tucked away behind a Santa Monica parking lot (hint: two lefts), Uppers is a beloved neighborhood gem where freshly baked pastries and warm breakfast sandwiches meet genuine hospitality from a genuinely welcoming team. Their house-made goods are the real stars here—think gluten-free muffins bursting with flavor and croissants that justify the slightly hidden location—making it the perfect spot to grab your morning coffee and pastry or linger on the back patio with friends.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
