Need a great place to hang out, have an awkward tinder date or to be a little basic and enjoy a pumpkin spice something or other? Let me tell you about the confusingly named Uptown Coffee, which is actually located downtown and not related at all the Bruno Mars song of a similar name.
We must first judge this establishment the way we judge both books and people, yes, superficially and by its cover! And on the outside things look good. Uptown coffee is a nice little shop on the end of Main Street, with a trendy, urban atmosphere that is unlike anything else in Farmville. It’s a place that would be easily at home on Cary Street in Richmond, where it would be full of bearded men in plaid talking about their favorite micro-breweries and girls in high-waisted shorts and black lipstick conversing about obscure records and mason jars or some such. As it sits however, the place is full of kind people, kinder staff and just the right amount of small town charm (and that’s a quarter in the cliché jar).
Not only does it offer a welcoming and hip atmosphere, but it also serves a great selection of food and beverages. Their main offering is, you guessed it coffee! A+ for you, even though it’s in the name of the place. The coffee at uptown is always freshly brewed, hot and alluring. So drink it before it’s cool, hipsters! If you are a coffee person, as I am, there is no better place in town to find your life-sustaining elixir. While you’re there, you may as well splurge on a sandwich to compliment your brew. Or perhaps a mouthwatering pastry is more your style, no worries, Uptown has you covered there, too. They even offer a wide assortment of ice cream flavors, if sandwiches and pastries at a café is just too mainstream for you. No matter what you go with, however, the food is always delicious, and is truly some of the best in town.
Not only does Uptown Café have the best coffee around and food to match, but they also complete their cool, urban atmosphere with live music. Every week the café hosts a selection of local artists for customers to enjoy, with music ranging from country to reggae.
If you’re looking for a great cup of coffee, a nice lunch, a warm atmosphere or a little entertainment, Uptown Coffee is the way to go. I'm on my way there now....
