A dog-friendly Uplands brunch spot that pours its own beans under the Crafty Smuggler name.

The everyday flat white to know in Uplands, made well enough to win over a self-described coffee snob. The batch brew holds real depth without turning syrupy or cloudy.

Uplands' vegetarian bistro, mushroom curry and vegan cakes on the menu, but the espresso earns unprompted praise from reviewers who don't usually mention coffee at all.
