Uptown Coffee Company

Delicious food and drinks. Fast friendly service. The kombucha on tap is refreshing.

Perfect location for this cute coffee shop! It is adorable, and there are a few seats to sit at inside. There is a coffee shop in the front and bar in the back. I will definitely come here again when I’m back in town.

This coffee service is carved out of the front of a (very excellent) bar, but never fear: The coffee and doughnuts are excellent, and those who stay can choose between the cozy bar and the patio which faces Marion's Art Alley. Punch cards for regular customers, with double punches for bike riders.

This place is hands down the best coffee in Marion! The wait is usually really long, and they could definitely use a few more workers. However, the coffee and pastries are definitely worth the wait! They handcraft each drink and it tastes incredible.

We pop in occasionally and every time the staff is very nice and helpful they even serve donutland donuts here! It’s nice having this on this side of town! Great coffee and donuts 5/5 for uptown coffee!

Overview - We started visiting Uptown Coffee Company almost a year ago. When it comes to excellent Espresso, consistency, food options for most anyone, and exemplary smiling staff, this is our go-to location! Out of Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, and Iowa City (we lucked out living only 5 minutes away). We usually visit at least five times a week. Need I say more? Don’t worry, I will ;) More detail below! Espresso Rating I love the darker roasted beans for My espresso, and Uptown does not disappoint! It’s consistent, and I can always depend on the same drink quality. My go-to is a Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk. Depending on how rough of a day it has been, I’ll add another shot, and all is made right. Some would say I have A obsessive coffee disorder. If you would like to have a fruitier/lighter roasted Espresso experience, they also offer that! Pretty cool, right! Staff Experience Okay. Like how do you get such amazing people!? It shows that Uptown Owners Lexi and Rex have fantastic skills for selecting extraordinary employees. Each one of them (Seth, Auri, Vivian, Jori, Katy, Sophie, sorry if I misspelled any of those!) greet my family with smiles and know our drinks by memory. Location feel and atmosphere I absolutely love the feel of this location. You have a beautiful quaint coffee shop in the front. From amazing crown molding and rustic floors to unique art in the back area (you can walk through the double doors where the deer head is and enjoy your coffee or food in the pub area, Uptown Snug, they will even bring you your drink or food) which just gives so much more space and includes games our kids love to play! Especially Skip-Bo. We also love your online ordering system for when we are in a rush :)! Food I love that they support other small local businesses with great food choices like bread from Great Harvest, honey, or even those sought-after donutland doughnuts. It’s pretty unusual to find a Coffee location that balances individual/family experience so well. If I were to recommend one of my favorite breakfast items, the bacon panini with veggies would be one of my go-to items. I was also recently introduced to the “Dirty Elvis,” Check it out for lunch sometime, I won’t ruin the surprise, but it’s worth it ;)! To sum this up, it’s the best coffee experience I have had at a coffee location in my entire life. I have been blessed to travel all over the Unites States, as well as other countries, and I am blown away daily by the consistent experience that I know I will get. A cup of joy to start my day out that never disappoints. Thank you so much, Uptown Coffee Company, for creating a great experience for not only myself but my entire family!

This is my favorite coffee shop in Marion! They have the best coffee. I love going and getting their iced lattes and a Donutland donut. This time, I got an iced honey lavender latte and a cherry donut. They have high-quality coffee with amazing flavor! The staff are welcoming and friendly. They have multiple drink and food options. I would love to go back and try more! Highly recommend!

They have the strongest and best iced coffee in Marion. Plus their homemade syrups are amazing! And they have Donut Land donuts(yum) Sorry Starbucks won’t be returning!
