Crema's Take
“This late-night LA gem stays open until midnight, making it the perfect refuge when everywhere else has closed down for the evening. Their signature creative drinks like the Taro Einspänner and Dirty Matcha Latte shine alongside thoughtfully crafted pastries and donuts, all served in a bright, welcoming space with plenty of room to spread out and linger. Whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or just seeking a beautiful spot to watch the sun set through ample windows, Cafe Upper delivers the ideal blend of specialty beverages and a genuinely chill atmosphere.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

Great cafe open till midnight! Delicious drinks especially, as well as great atmosphere for hanging out and chilling with friends. Lovely option whenever everything else closes down at 10pm.
It's a cool place for a coffee shop! 😎 Lots of lighting and tables & chairs everywhere. They're open early & close late. That's the best part.... So after dinner, you just go out there and hang out and have some tea or coffee and some German chocolate cake.
Both the drinks and desserts were excellent, and on a sunny day the space is absolutely beautiful—I could honestly sit here all day ☀️ 🍵☕️ We ordered the Taro Einspänner and Dirty Matcha Latte. Both were beautifully made, with adjustable sweetness (the balance was just right).…
I thoroughly enjoyed the pistachio einspanner. It was delicious and surprisingly not overly sweet. Nice size coffee as well. I also grabbed the sweet potato donut. It was okay, the filling was tasty not exactly deep sweet potato but a light mousse. The donut was like a dry puff…
Probably a bit late to the camp, but well better late than never, so there I was finally making my way to Cafe Upper. Nothing much special about the venue's design, but absolutely a plus point knowing they opened until very late so great spot to visit when you're down for late…
