I don't think the drinks are as good as Aldo down the street, but Uptown has a much more laid-back and relaxed vibe than the Aldo circus. Maybe it was the time of day, but it seemed like the staff were a little less than thrilled to help us. When we asked for details on a drink, I had the feeling we were taking away from their valuable time for them to answer a question. They have much more food options than Aldo if you'd like a treat with your drink - lots of cookies, biscotti, brownies, etc.
