UPTOWN EATS – American
A mom-and-pop breakfast cafe on Dr. M.L.K. Jr Street North with more demand than seats, which tells you most of what you need to know. Pastries are baked in house and the biscuits get named more than anything else — order the two eggs and a biscuit plate, or the Jam On It breakfast sandwich on brioche. Beyond that: the Uptown breakfast bowl, Greens N' Things, a malted vanilla bean buttermilk waffle, a BLT on marbled rye, and coffee from a blend roasted for them. Staff top off cups and work around gluten-free and allergy requests without fuss. Closed Tuesdays.
