UpTown Cafe & Bakery in Bedford offers a relaxed, approachable spot for anyone looking to start the day with solid coffee, fresh-baked goods, or a casual lunch. The cafe's vibe is welcoming without feeling rushed, making it easy to settle in with a book or meet a friend over a well-prepared panini or breakfast burrito.

Locals often drop in during the morning rush, yet service remains quick and attentive even when the place is busy, which speaks to the staff’s efficiency and familiarity with regulars. The menu has a nice balance of breakfast items—from creamy quiches and hearty breakfast sandwiches to lighter choices like avocado toast and yogurt parfaits—and a range of paninis and salads for lunch. Those who appreciate baked treats have plenty to look forward to, especially if they enjoy sourdough-based pastries or seasonal specials like cinnamon rolls or cheese danishes.

The atmosphere leans into a clean, cozy aesthetic with an emphasis on comfort—the use of real plates and glassware for dine-in patrons adds a homey touch that many visitors notice. Outside seating is available too, making it a pleasant spot during warmer months when you want to enjoy a bit of fresh air while sipping a matcha latte or a decaf coffee flavored with house-made syrups.

This cafe works well for early risers, local workers grabbing a quick but satisfying breakfast, or anyone seeking a midday break in a friendly environment. While the 7 AM opening might miss the earliest commuters, it still captures the bulk of morning activity and pairs nicely with the quiet lull in the afternoon. Visitors who favor a mix of flavorful, well-sized meals and pastries alongside thoughtfully prepared coffee will find UpTown fits neatly into that routine.

I regret not coming here sooner. Paninis, coffee and cheese danish were awesome. Blueberry scone was ok.

Food quality is stellar. Coffee, I can't speak for. Went there at the busiest time of morning and still had expeditious service. They accommodated my order to have sausage AND bacon in my burrito. Hooray! Would recommend to everyone that prefers delumptuous food. Only thing I'd change is 6:30 AM opening to catch all the work traffic. Will return for a panini hopefully. -Returned for a panini. Chicken bacon ranch was not despicable, and the ham and Swiss was tasty, even though I disdain Swiss cheese heartily. The chips were moreish. Nom. We had too much money left on our gift card so we got a yogurt parfait, scone, and chocolate chip cookies. Again, very nourishing. Another edit: Sampled the burgers. And as a burger connesoir, I found them to be delightful. Slightly on the pricey side, as I had to part with my denarius, but good quality nonetheless.

I was delighted to be able to stop here today and will come back again if I'm in the area. The customer service is top notch and the girls do well with making you feel like a valued person. The place is very clean and the aesthetics are so pretty! I love that everything (dine in) is served with real plates, cups,utensils, even to glasses for the water you can help yourself to. We enjoyed our food and the pastry was delightful. Thank you to the barista- the latte art was so pretty, and since I am also a barista, I notice things like that. Keep up your service.

Always delicious. Decaf coffee and matcha latte are my go-to's with their homemade syrups for flavor. The baked goods are second to none. Highly recommend anything made with their sourdough. Avacado toast and the cinnamon roll are personal favorites. Would love to try their lunch menu next.

Love this local gem! The breakfast and pastries were so amazing! The outdoor seating is really beautiful also. You get a big portion for the price, my sandwich was filled to the brim with eggs and meat! The seasonal coffee was also really delicious.

Stopped here while passing through the area. It's a little tough to find as it's not visible from the street, but a very nice first impression when you arrive. The panini was good. I was a bit disappointed in the pastries. They are beautiful, but not as delicious as they appeared. The service was excellent and the interior & exterior are very nice.

I visited this café while staying in Bedford, and I have to say I wish they had one in Pittsburgh. It’s one of the cleanest and nicest cafés I’ve ever been to. The place is run by a couple of very young and friendly girls who were so welcoming and kind. The vibe of the café was absolutely lovely. Now about the food and coffee; everything we ordered was delicious. The coffee tasted amazing and was served at the perfect temperature (not too hot ). The sandwich I had was fresh and flavorful, and their croissants were so tasty and buttery. Overall, I loved everything about this café and hope to come back again to try more items.

Everything was first class. The service was impeccable: courteous, very friendly, knowledgeable and fast. The food was delicious and served very attractively, especially the homemade croissants, biscuits and sausage gravy. The restaurants including the restrooms, were spotlessly clean. We highly recommend it, and will return.
