Up Coffee
1901 Traffic St NE, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Up Cafe & Up Coffee Roasters sits in a spacious industrial setting where you can linger over expertly pulled espresso and inventive pastries like their craveable Parmesan leek creation and standout chocolate chip cookies. The roastery vibe comes through in their darker-leaning espresso pulls and pour-over options, backed by a genuinely welcoming staff and ample seating that's perfect for both solo work sessions and catching up with friends. Fair warning: check your table for stability and watch for ants in certain corners, but the quality of what's on your plate and in your cup makes it worth a visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Lovely coffee place with enough space to sit and work or just chit chat with friends. They serve fresh bakery items as well. We loved their chocolate chip cookies, truly yum and make you wish for another one! Must visit for coffee lovers!!
We buy our beans here but don’t often stick around for coffee and pastries — our mistake! The Parmesan leek pastry is wildly craveable and the hazelnut latte was decadent (pictured is a small!). Also loved the sausage quiche today and will absolutely be making a point to enjoy…
Lovely place to stop for coffee, chat with friends, catch up on some work. When walking in, the bakery items were front and center. Getting to the counter, both employees welcomed me and asked what I would like. They made my espresso right away, and was ready while I was still…
