What customers say

The ambiance is nice and they play good music. The food menu needs some more options like pita chips, fish fingers etc, something to complement the beer. They have several option of draft beers to choose from. I had different flatbreads which were averages tasting. Great staff though.

★★★★☆ — H.T., 2021-04

Upside Brew has a modern and welcoming ambience with a wide range of coffee and pastries to choose from. We found their lattes and avocado toast to be quite decent. The spacious seating here also makes for a great spot for studying and laptop work.

This coffee shop is 11/10. The service was phenomenal. The coffee that I tried today was the British Islander Macadamia Nut, White Chocolate Mocha which was beyond good . I was shocked on how good the coffee was. I added oat milk to the coffee as well. The coffee shop was very clean and had a really good feel to it.

This was such a cute little spot! On a Sunday afternoon it was very busy, but our drinks still came out quickly. The staff were all very pleasant. I had the campfire latte, which was mocha+toasted marshmallow with almond milk (they make all their alt milks in house!) and it was delish.
