Northside La Crosse locals know about it, and the word is spreading--but slowly, which means you can still get in there for some amazing meals with authentic Southern edges, a simple and friendly down-home service ice by really nice, warm people, very affordably prices, and...variety not usually found in smaller Up-North smaller cities. I mean, really--warm, sugar-coated, fresh beignets with a good cup of coffee--although a chickory cup of jo would be a great addition. And the luncheon and breakfast bowls (the Southern Bowl, the Breakfast Grain Bowl) and egg choices, just delicious. Although not a big grits fan, at the Uptowne, I eat them now and esther. And when the BBQ is on, my my, do not miss the place. You want glitz and fancy--not here 'cause the energy goes into the menu. But it's neat, clean, cozy and friendly. Now, you reading this, don't ya'll trot down: the accommodations are a little tight so leave us some room. But do treat yourself at the Uptowne Cafe and Bakery on Caledonia Street North La Crosse. You'll be back!More
