This unique little coffee house is tucked away on a side street off The Strip in Downtown Tuscaloosa. It’s a friendly place that offers a large space full of cozy sitting areas great for conversations and studying. It kind of reminds me of the “Friends” Central Perk. The coffee is really good and there’s a great selection of baked goods. Reagan assisted me with my selections and was helpful and knowledgeable. She told me she had worked there for about 1.5 years which is remarkable itself. She makes a great caramel macchiato, too. Be sure to check out UPerk. You’ll love it.
Loved it! I had a latte and the avocado toast. I typically put sugar in my coffee, but this one didn't even need it. It was so smooth and creamy. The toast was also amazing! The touch of honey is divine! The young lady who attended us was so sweet. We kept asking her questions about latte art and the espresso and she was so helpful. Loved this place! Will definitely be back!
If ever you are in the title town area (Tuscaloosa, AL / Roll Tide), you have to make Uperks your coffee spot. All of the Staff members are super awesome and know how to make any beverage you ask for (coffee related of course) Thanks to their former Manager Jay.
Not gluten free, not made in house as advertised. As someone with celiac disease and type one diabetes it is imperative ensure the food is as advertised. While people realize the risks of eating out you CANNOT advertise gluten free if it is not. People get sick from these things.
Staff were friendly and coffee is good.
This is an excellent coffee shop to grab a bite and eat something light. Their veggie burger is delicious (and you wouldn't even realize it's not meat if you weren't told), although at $10 it's certainly overpriced. They used to serve it with some veggies, but they've recently swapped those with chips, cheapening the meal. This would've been great at $8, but for $10, you really need to include something more. If they swapped the chips for actual decent fries, this'd be fine.
Either way, it's a wonderful establishment, people are super nice, it's bright and well lit, nicely designed, and they have delicious teas - like the hibiscus one I photographed - from local Tea-Town Alabama. Their coffee is quite decent too, definitely better than Starbucks. I've been here for a quick bite, a drink and a laptop work session and I've never been disappointed.
This is such a cute little spot! As soon as I walked in the girls were so friendly and approachable. My barista made sure I knew about the full menu and she made an excellent cup of coffee for me. Will definitely come back?
Nice coffee shop with good coffee and tasty treats. Plenty of parking around the building. Popular with the college students. Fast friendly service. Highly recommend. Indoor and outdoor seating. Relaxed atmosphere.
A nice place to have decent meal but opened from 3pm daily except Sunday.
I Googled âbest coffee in Tuscaloosaâ and this came up! Game on! Being the coffee snob I am, challenge accepted! Maps brought me to the address but it wasnât apparent that I was here. The gold letters on the glass door made it hard to distingui
Absolutely amazing coffee with staff that really seem to care. I also love their specialty coffee beans for making coffee in my own home. Super nice place to sit and get work done. I wish theyâd add a bike rack outside, as this is the perfect place
I just visited this coffee shop for the first time and it is awesome! They had wonderful and very personable service. The coffee was excellent and was made quickly. The prices were low, just over $3 for a 16 oz latte. The environment is perfect for g

Sunday, after a game around 5 was a 5 to 10 min wait with a 30-minute wait on food and 20 min wait for expresso drinks. More like a typical restaurant wait, but they were "feeling bad" and working hard to serve their customers.
Great place to wait
The staff here was incredibly helpful! They helped me choose a non-coffee beverage by explaining the ingredients and flavor profile. I was impressed that they understood all that was in the drink.
The inside was very clean and organized. Not too bus
Kayla was very sweet down to earth if i would have to rate my experience with her & just the atmosphere in the store in general it would be a 10+ and beyond. Her wanting to help me and educating me on most of their product was very helpful she was su

The service was very expedient. I ordered my graduation apparel and the same day received an email that my items were ready for pickup. They also let me know one part of my order was no longer in stock and the money for that particular item was refun
I love getting custom spray tans here. Theyâre very attentive to detail and I NEVER turn orange. Itâs also always super clean around the salon and in the tanning beds.
The Belgian Waffle were amazing! My daughter had the breakfast sandwich, it was delicious as well! Water with this meal, but, leaving she got a speciality ice coffee, I got the HH special coffee, hot. Both were delicious. Love HH. Please get a locati
Wonderful local brewery! Yaay Bo Hicks!! Great beer selection. Cool atmosphere. Food was fresh and so good. Best pretzel ever. Cuban sandwich was excellent. Big selection of hot dogs. Pinball machines! Highly recommend.
Iâd highly recommended this place to everyone. I came in eating vegetarian during lunch hour and our server Sydney was really helpful referring some vegetarian dishes to me. I talked to the owner Nikki and she was very nice and sweet person. Thank
