I must credit the many hours I spent at Uptown preparing for both my HESI and NCLEX examination to finally becoming a registered nurse. If you have time during the weekdays, Uptown provides a perfect, ambient space for studying; both solo and for small study groups. It is cozy and quaint, but also spacious enough to serve as a great meeting place for various purposes. Their coffee's and teas are good quality & variety, however I am not a huge fan of their baked goods. On two different occasions I tried different types of cookies but thought that they all tasted somewhat stale. It could totally just be me though, because most people I know love their cookies. My only suggestions are that they try to regulate the amount of middle/high school kids that come in there and loiter after they get out of school and on the weekends. From 3-5pm during the weekdays there would be a ridiculous amount of kids with backpacks coming in and taking up multiple tables, being extremely loud, and maybe one out of the whole group would actually purchase anything. Even with headphones on I would get distracted and sometimes not be able to find a table.
