Artwork

We recently installed art by Curtis Miller on Uptown's front wall, and one additional piece of Curt's next the fireplace. Curt and Sarah Miller own the building right behind ours on N. Michigan Ave. A few years ago Curt had a great sale on many examples of his work, and we were lucky to be able to acquire some. We really love the simplicity and color of the pieces. We will keep rotating in guest artists on our back wall. Here is a link to Curt's web page about his art.

Latte art...

If you've ordered a cappuccino or latte with no whipped cream lately from Uptown, you may have been pleasantly surprised to see some nice latte art on top. Thanks to Gregory and Aiden, our customers have been able to enjoy hearts and rosettas on the top of some drinks. Latte art is the careful pouring of the steamed/foamed milk on the espresso shots in a particular way that results in a nice pattern or design on top of the finished drink. I think it's pretty darn cool, particularly since I've been wanting to try this myself for years! If you're curious what a rosetta is, check my Facebook fan page for a pic.
