Nice simple place for breakfast, lunch and just coffee. Most of the food is vegetarian. A lot of room, you won’t be touching your neighbor’s elbow here. And won’t stay hungry even if you are in a budget. Thank you for being open at 7am! Interesting experience of trying vegan ( soy) bacon. Good friendly vibes. Recommended.

As someone who doesn’t go to Uptown much, but having lived in Bloomington for 25+ years, I cannot believe I just checked this place out last year (2022)! So many yummy items on the menu and fresh baked goods to choose from; not to mention the variety of teas & coffee available! I’ve always been a tea lover, & was very pleased with the teas I tried. The atmosphere is lovely, similar to a busy diner. With their food, drinks, & a friend with great conversation; this is a great place to relax & enjoy your day. Always great service from all the employees as well. Highly recommend checking it out!

Pros: All-vegetarian menu with multiple vegan options (including baked goods and multiple plant-milks!), cozy atmosphere without feeling cramped once actually seated, freshly squeezed orange juice, local art featured on walls, Black-owned small business.

I was passing through the area in search of vegan options and happened upon this lovely and old fashioned diner. I loved the relaxed and warm atmosphere full of returning patrons. I tried their delicious vegan chocolate chip banana pancakes but had a bit of a stomach upset afterwards. I didn’t ask if the butter used was vegan but I had presumed it was, I would make sure to double check prior to ordering. Their vegan cupcakes and other pastries looked delicious but I was watching my sugar intake so I was unable to sample them at this time. Although their freshly squeezed orange juice was a nice addition to my pancakes. (I did not prefer the taste of their tap water).

This was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve ever had. The place was nice and our server was very lovely and helpful while we ordered. When our food arrived, however, things went south. We had 2 pancakes, a breakfast burrito, bacon, ham, a breakfast hash bowl, and applesauce, along with two coffees. All of our food was vegan and the coffees were quite delicious. The pancakes were doable but the vegan bacon and ham were so hard that it was impossible to chew. It was dry and hard to the point of being sharp. The breakfast hash bowl was flavorless and extremely undercooked. The carrots made an audible crunch noise, at one point I had to spit out an artichoke heart due to the amount of oil that filled my mouth as I bit into it. $46 on food that was less that mediocre to put it kindly. I don’t recommend the food.

A lovely little spot within 2 minutes walking distance of the BloNo train/bus station. Food and coffee were both lovely, and the people working there were helpful and very nice. The place itself has a chilled out ambience with plenty of seating. Glad to have come across this place.

Went with my kid and vegan parents after visiting the Children’s Museum. We had a very good experience. My parents had plenty of vegan and gluten free options. My kid tried the oatmeal pancakes and didn’t like them (different texture that regular flour). She enjoyed eating our food though and we enjoyed her pancakes. I had the breakfast burrito which was very good.

Check out vegan, vegetarian, and GF options if you have a group meeting w different dietary restrictions! Very friendly staff, open & welcoming seating area! Diverse menus, my daughter loves the baked items, and they sell good bread too.

This is such a cute coffee shop/restaurant. The staff was friendly. The place was clean. They have a really cool area to buy a variety of coffee beans. The coffee was decent, I tried a banana bread latte.

I’m very disappointed in my experience at Coffeehouse today. I ordered a Thai tea and when I received my order I knew that it wasn’t a Thai tea. For those of you who haven’t had a Thai tea before, it’s a light orange color. My drink was milky brown and I sipped it and it was clearly coffee. I politely asked if this was a Thai tea to one of the workers and the lady who messed up my order whipped around and said yes that is a Thai tea. Then she proceeded to stare me down until I left the store. I’ve had the Thai tea from there 3 times before so I know that it is orange there as well and what it tastes like. I can vouch that I was polite or downright timid because I’m just a little college girl and confrontation makes me wanna die.
