The Spot Cafe Upland

Delicious meal prep! This week I got 5 orders of the chicken, zucchini noodles & brown rice. I added marinara to make it extra juicy. It was so nice not having to go to the grocery store or cook!! And it’s healthy! Definitely ordering again next week and many more weeks to come. I am going to try their turkey, steak & salmon options as well as their other veggie & starch options. Thank you!

This place is great! A big healthy menu of drinks and food. Coffee, juices, smoothies, shots, sandwiches and more! Awesome vegan options and they even do meal prep. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Limited inside seating but a big open patio.

Nice place for smoothies and healthy snacks. They make the smoothies from scratch. You get to watch. Nice people. I read the reviews and I am pretty sure many of the reviews are about the shop next door.

Good spot for a quick pick-up. The food is pretty good. I do like their shakes. It's a hit or miss with the staff. Sometimes there are really friendly workers but sometimes not. Lunchtime gets busy so definitely try to order ahead for pickup.

It is a nice cafe on Foothill Boulevard in Claremont, located next door to Boca Burger and Trader Joe's! I have been here many times. I would, usually come during my lunch break, or in the morning. I would, usually, order, coffee, or sometimes their sandwiches. The sandwiches, were often delicious, and made in a timely manner. Of course, during noon, it would get crowded. However, the working staff were handling these situations perfectly. In addition, they were helpful and attentive. The prices though were incrementally increasing! Still, they were not on the expensive side. So, I would recommend anyone, who is in Claremont area, to visit this small coffee house!

I ordered the vegan burrito and the “healthiest smoothie in here”. The food was okay, but completely bland and salt free. My “spicy” burrito was not spicy at all. The smoothie was bad. It is 95% banana and 5% spinach. Not a hint of PB or Açaí in it whatsoever. I have 4-5 years of experience working in smoothie bars and my tastebuds tell me this is definitely not worth $9. Anyone who’s worked with Açaí knows that even half a packet would’ve turned this cup a deep purple ish brown. I am disappointed. I would recommend going to the real “spot cafe” in Hermosa Beach instead if you are looking for healthy and flavorful food.

This little cafe packs a punch of flavors like their breakfast burritos that contain vegetables and protein, their smoothies are so vibrant with the tastes of apples or oranges and even if you are wanting some greens in the smoothie you can’t even taste the kale when mixed with the other combinations of fruit. Definitely recommend for anyone!

Their vegan game is weak. Their vegan burrito is colorful and not very flavorful, mostly just kind of spicy. Would not recommend. Juices are cool

I am grateful that there was options for everyone in my family. Vegan options were outstanding and the overall feel was very positive and relaxed. This being a college town, this is a perfect place to have any meal, student or for a family dinner. I will absolutely return. The pizza was to die for. The tortilla instead of dough blew me away. There was so much flavor. I am lactose intolerant and eating cheese hurts me no matter what, but I had to try the pizza. It was amazing.

Heartbreaking for me! One of those charming "spots" I would love to give 5's...but I can't! Their food and service can't stand up. After two tries...it's a "no go" for me. They should be slammed...they're not! Ordered scrambled eggs...which sat on the counter until they were ice cold...with an abundance of staff It's hard to see why. Seems a "lax ship"... no one's "running the show". They are pleasant with the "gab" but they really don't care about the "quality" of what they are doing. Sent them back...they came not even mixed before they hit the skillet. Cook came out and apologized to me I ordered the very simplist thing I could think of... scrambled eggs and toast. In two tries...if a restaurant can't produce this....maybe It's time to take a hard look at what you're doing! Toast was so cold and hard the lump of butter just sat on top...never melted in. Suggestion: try a better quality of bread...maybe La Brea Bakery? At the extreme prices you charge there's a need to up your quality. Chicken salad came so spicy my Daughter couldn't eat it. You couldn't taste the chicken...AT ALL. The turmeric and ginger shots are wonderful! So is the general "health vibe" of this "almost" great little "spot." My suggestion...get someone who can COOK...and up the QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCT! I won't be back...you committed the "KISS OF DEATH" for me! After the cook and crew...seeing I couldn't eat the breakfast...after two tries did not offer MY MONEY BACK! That's a "rip-off"! You must get-what-you-pay-for or you have been "cheated-out-of-your-money, Honey!" I left hungry and they had my money! So, down you go to a 1! So disappointing!
