Uppercase Coffee Shop in Derby

Had most amazing quiche and salad...followed by Tiffin cake. Sshhh best kept secret.... Definitely will be back soon x

Nipped in for cake and coffee and this place is an absolute gem!! the staff are so lovely and happy to help. dogs being welcome is such a bonus!

It was a lovely yummy Easter cookie and I like the tea they make so I give it 5 ⭐️ (reviewed by - Elsie age 8)

We have supported this lovely shop and coffee shop for many years and have previously written praising reviews. The staff are lovely and there is a good choice of food. However, it is no longer 'customer' friendly now that they have a welcoming notice for dogs on the door. It's such a tiny cafe and we're expected to negotiate around dogs on the floor and tails sticking out between tables. (a potentially dangerous hazard!) During our visit, someone came in with a very large dog & walked round various tables, with the dog in very close proximity to them. They then came over to talk to the other table with dogs, while her dog vigorously proceeded to shake itself all over the empty table at the side. We would have refused to sit there but could have innocently done so. It can't be hygienic encouraging animals in such a small area so sadly, we'll be looking to eat/drink elsewhere now.

There’s not many places that go above and beyond for customers. The girls in the cafe were brilliant, even went to the shop to get veggie sausages for me. Lovely coffee and cakes too.

I took my mum here today as a Mother’s Day gift for afternoon tea with prosecco. We had the loveliest time and I cannot recommend this place enough! The food was absolutely delicious, so fresh and well presented and our dietary needs were considered. The staff were so kind, welcoming and attentive and the cafe is beautiful and so clean and well presented. Definitely would recommend for the afternoon tea and we will be making this a regular visiting spot for lunch from now on! Thankyou again for making our Mother’s Day tea so special.

What a perfect find. Lovely little coffee shop with homemade food which is delicious. Wonderful homemade cakes to eat in or takeaway. Quirky gifts in the shop and can be personalised. Fantastic, friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

I like to support small local businesses if possible, rather than chain cafes, but I'm afraid I won't be going back to this one. I ordered a pot of tea and the creamy mushrooms on toast from the specials' board. Not only was there only one piece of toast, but the food was cold, so I had to return it for reheating. I was horrified when I got to the counter to find that the bill was £8.85. The tea was £1.90, making that very small quantity of food a whopping £6.95! - I didn't check the price before ordering and assumed it would be around the £4 mark. On the plus side, the staff were very friendly, but that's not enough to tempt me back, I'm afraid.

The staff here go one step beyond in making the experience one that you want to come back to. Me and my brother in law will definitely make another visit for lunch. Well done ladies

Polite friendly staff. Lovely coffees and breakfasts. Enjoy the poached eggs on granary toast. Tasty cakes. Always enjoy a browse around the gift shop too.

I have been a regular customer of the The Uppercase Coffee Shop in Mickleover for many years. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating. The food is lovely. Best cheese scones ever! And lovely breakfasts, lunches, cakes and drinks ❤️🍰

Visit often, food is excellent staff are friedly. Even if you call in alone you don't feel uncomfortable. Scones are a must to try and plenty to choose from whatever you fancy.

Nice place to come to chat and relax,we are regular visitors and always receive a friendly welcome,friendly staff with a good selection of drinks, snacks and gifts.

From the moment we walked in to leaving it was a fab experience. Friendly staff . Good atmosphere Had breakfast followed by the most delicious Victoria cream sponge for two. Will definitely be returning

I come in every weekend with my son for a drink and cake as a treat - cakes are always tasty and the service is top notch!

We have been regulars for the past 2-3 years and never had an issue. Great food, coffee and cake selection. Always very clean and have space inside and out to sit for their lunches or some breakfast. Staff are really nice and always so welcoming. Really nice giftshop on site where we get most of our gifts for others. I would highly recommend Uppercase. p.s. get the Oreo brownies as they are the best!

It doesn't matter what you pick from the menu it's always fantastic, from poached eggs to cakes. The staff are really friendly and always have time to make you feel welcome. You can choose to sit in outside in the sun or inside. It's very...

It’s a shame as we were looking forward to Re visiting this cafe after the lockdown. The menu was reduced which we understand, but when I ordered a ham sandwich I was dissatisfied that the bread was buttered on one slice only. Very dry and...

We have just had the most amazing afternoon tea at the Alphabet Gift ship. So much yummy food and good value too. Thank you so much xx

We Popped into this lovely cafe for a coffee and bite to eat, spent a little time choosing a few cards and gifts as well as part of the experience, the food and service were excellent. We will definitely be back

I love this little place; great coffee, great menu, great service. I love that you can have a gander through the gift shop after your coffee. Lots of choice on the menu. Few tables so struggle to get in at busy times

Having just written a review about the worst 'cheese' scones ever (in a Yorkshire tearoom), I though it fitting to write about the BEST cheese scones we have ever tasted. The standard of all the food is consistently high with a good choice, reasonably priced...

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were lovely and helped us create a table big enough. We then picked kiddies milkshakes, dairy free brownies and biscuits and a big coffee for mummy! The gift shop has some lovely pieces in and we chose some Father’s...

Sat out the back in a tiny but lovely courtyard . The staff are so friendly and helpful . Clean and tidy . Menu is small but lovely they will adapt the menu for you if asked . Coffee was nice . Gift shop is...

On visit from Norfolk, What a superb find!!! Lovely home cooked food and drinks in a cosy atmosphere with super friendly staff!!! Everything made fresh to order with a wide choice, seasonal mini egg hot chocolate and a chocolate orange sponge cake to die for....

A lovely little cafe tucked away in a very lovely gift shop. Freshly baked cakes are delicious, staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice place. I took my Nana here for her birthday lunch as she just wanted something light to eat. We both really enjoyed our food and it is a stone throw away from her house so we are definitely going to be regulars. I...

A fabulous coffee shop with tasty food, lovely staff just perfect and plenty of seating inside with air con and outside too, a gift shop next door too which sells really lovely gifts and cards ♥️

As a Mickleover resident for over 20 years, I had been in the Alphabet Gift Shop on Station Road a number of times to buy gifts, but had never tried the Uppercase Coffee Shop tucked away at the back of the shop, but today thought...

Lovely cafe, great coffee and very friendly staff. Visited today and the only thing to add to the overall experience would be an outside area to soak up the sunshine.

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff and good serivce. Reasonable price. would back again when go that area. :)

I enjoyed hot chocolate and a scone here. There is a nice selection of food on the menu and they were serving mini egg milkshake. It looked delicious! The gift shop is very nice too. It's called the alphabet gift shop. They do many personalised items.

Went to Uppercase for a late lunch with my sister and we were both very happy with it. The cafe is small but cosy, and it's nice how it is part of the alphabet shop. The food is reasonably priced with a panini being £6.50, a cake slice being £3.50, and drinks being a couple of pounds. We didn't have to wait long for our food and it was delicious. Only down side was our millionaires shortbread: the caramel was extremely hard and more like toffee. However, apart from that it was lovely and the other cake we purchased was divine! Would definitely recommend Uppercase for tea and cake, or a full lunch!

Been here on 3 occasions now. Always very busy. Very pleasant staff. Food is delicious. The cheese scone is massive and yummy. The cakes are gorgeous and are all homemade. Will definetly come again. Nice cute little place. Very cosy. Nice gift shop too. I know the loo is not ideally situated but it is a small shop and the nature of the building.

Food handlers should NOT wear nail varnish due to the risk of bits getting in to the food Also staff should listen to customer when customer asks for no bacon they should not serve it

Brought a friend here for her birthday felt really embarrassed I think this place is all for profit .. I am a cook myself a real disappointment mind you I thought it was quiet..😏

The staff are brilliant,a group of ladies of a certain age are probably the most trying of customers, but these girls are gems, lovely smiles,great service,and the cappachinos are simply the best.

Lovely stop for coffee and cake our waitress Maisy was lovely . Will call again in the near future Thanks

We dropped in here on a Saturday morning for a break from shopping. Lovely coffee shop a the back of a gift shop.

Only 2 cakes to choose from limited choice of snack but prices reasonable

My partner and I came recently for lunch. I tried the special hot chocolate which was fantastic and indulgent, overcoming all expectations of a tiny little coffee shop. We both had jack potatoes which were wonderful (slight nit-pick- bacon really chewy in chicken bacon mayo combo)

We came here last Wednesday as a group of 5 moms and were given a warm welcome - they even moved tables together in a secluded bit so we could all fit in together :) it's a small quaint cafe, prices are very decent and there is a lovely menu with seasonal specials. I really recommend the hot chocolate! They do tea cakes, paninis, toasties, sandwiches, cake, afternoon tea. All looked incredible. They also do a loyalty card which works for both the cafe and the gift shop. Will definitely come again xxxx

Visited Uppercase last week Tuesday, was given a warm welcome by the sales assitant Rachel, who kindly gave me the information I needed regarding products. Kitchen service was also excellent, Zara is lovely and service very quick. An all round great place to visit.

Trying for the first time. Good coffee, lovely light cakes, an oasis of calm. Recommend the warmed coffee & walnut loaf topped with golden syrup & ice cream - Gorgeous. Will visit again

Excellent service, quality food and well priced. A***** had the pancakes which were delicious. Will be back.

I visited the Alphabet Gift Shop (last Wednesday) for the first time. I was very impressed overall, the lady on the tills was very friendly/welcoming and helpful, great products, lovely shop. Cake was brilliant, great service. I'll definitely visit again.

We regularly go to the Uppercase Coffee Shop within the Alphabet Gift Shop in Mickleover for coffee and cake (we are always happy with portion sizes), for their breakfast (Lewis makes the most amazing breakfast and cooks it all to each of our exacting [fussy] standards) or for a pot of tea and a cheese scone - putting the world to rights. Nothing is too much trouble - Zara, ever the professional; caring and customer focused, Danni who always greets us with a cheery hello and a lovely smile and the rest of the team, makes it our choice for meeting up and having great food, then a little shop for gifts afterwards, Well done everyone - you have the formula just right - keep up the good work :)

Visited many times before and really enjoyed it. However this time I was disappointed at the very small piece of cake I was given. I really couldn't believe that the member of staff would dare put it in front of me. If that's what's on offer I won't bother again

What a lovely cafe and gift shop! Full of such lovely bits and pieces - I could have spent a fortune! Your eye keeps on spotting little hidden bits as pieces on the shelves! The cafe is lovely too. A small but perfect menu for the size of cafe. I can highly recommend the cake too - it's amazing! And to top it off, lovely staff!

Lovely coffee shop, with the best coffee I have had in a long time. Service was friendly and quick will be going back to try the delicious looking cakes.

Situated at the back of the gift shop the Uppercase coffee shop is quite small, some would say cosy but it delivers on all fronts. Welcoming, friendly greeting from staff with that all important smile, good decoration and table service with a small menu choice but serving tasty food at a reasonable price.

A lovely secret corner of Mickleover! A small very delicious range of cakes, good breakfast/lunch options. Fab milkshake/cupcake offer for children over the summer. They're friendly and helpful so treat yourself. Toilet isn't easy to access for everyone but a minor issue.

Only called in for a coffee, the service is very friendly and I would certainly recommend. Although I didn't have a cake they have a small but delicious range available.....

Lovely little gift shop, with a beautiful array of choice. Some things very expensive but definitely worth it. The fact you can have your things personalised is a lovely touch too!

Excellent choose of gifts, you can find something for almost any event. Then when you've browsed you can sit down to tea and cake. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Set in a beautiful gift shop (hard not to spend money whilst you're in here) lovely, polite staff & excellent choice of drinks & fresh homemade cakes & treats!! Enjoy!!

Often go here for breakfast - lovely staff and delicious toast! (My favourite was avocado and lemon you had as a special one day and I now have this at home several times a week, so thanks for the inspiration!) Have also been here for lunch and think its a great little cafe - well worth a visit

We were walking past so popped in for a cuppa. Greeted with a smile and a hello,always a good start.

We love it here!! Our daughters dance early alot of Saturday mornings so we go for breakfast. It is lovely and our treat of the week!! Everyone is always very welcoming and the service is brilliant. Would recommend the toast and porridge for breakfast. When our girls join us they have the milkshakes and I'm sure they would recommend it too!!

My sister and I visit on a regular basis and I can definitely say the food and drink are up to a very high standard the cakes are lovely and just melt in your mouth with a lot of choice, also love the thick fresh bread with soup and sandwich 's, and we both say how pleasant the staff are with quick service

Went specially with my daughter as we are 'tea and cakes' fans. Only three cake choices, two of which we make par excellence. What a shame when less than a mile away is a deli with more choice and equally delicious cakes. We tried both by the way. Gluten free lemon cake was, for a gluten free, delicious, but then the deli up the road also had a delicious lemon cake, passion fruit cake and more. If you are in Mickleover it is worth a visit but not worth travelling for.

The atmosphere is brilliant with the decor working extremely well.

Popped in yesterday with a friend for a catch up! Love what they gave done with the cafe! Always lovely coffee and tempting cakes! Great little shop too!

my husband and I called in to buy a gift and ended up having coffee and cake as well! enjoyable cakes and all refreshments looked nice-!

Well worth popping in for a coffee and a scone, absolutely delicious. Can have the scone with butter and jam or with cream. We haven't tried the cakes but they also look divine.

This little cafe is so cute and the shop it is based at is so good to have a mooch around. I have visited here a couple of times with my mum and once with my boyfriend. The tea comes in cute little individual tea pots and they always have yummy homemade cakes. I followed the shop and their cafes on instagram and was lured in again by the look of their easter special mini egg hot chocolate and it didn't disappoint. I will be visiting again for sure and have/will recommend to all my friends.

All the staff were friendly and helpful. In addition, the menu was varied, as I am vegan they still had options which were okay for me. I had tomatoes on toast which was nice, only got one slice which was quite expensive. My mum had a scone, jam and cream which is one of the best she's had. The milkshakes are tasty too. Slightly on the expensive side, but would defiantly recommend. Will be returning soon.

For a wee village cafe with strong competition in the area. The Alphabet shop does it best to compete. I love their signature Gluten Free Viccy Sponge. Service is not the swiftest and the tables are few- but its still the best on offer here.

very friendly and helpful staff, the best cheese scones and great selection of food served. we love this Place

Lovely place for a nice cuppa, (or a coffee) Food is excellent, well prepared and of good quality.

Mickleover's best spot for coffee and cakes! Fresh cheese scones straight out of the oven are a winner!

Me and my mum come every Wednesday and they already have our drinks ready!! Lovely atmosphere and excellent service 100% my favourite cafe!!

At the back of the pleasing to the eye shop Alphabet in Mickleover, the Uppercase cafe offers good coffee, yummy cakes and a nice place in which to chill out. Love it there.

A fantastic find at the back of this gorgeous gift shop where the cakes not only look amazing but taste great too! The coffee is the best I have tasted and the really friendly staff offer great service.

This is a great place to meet with friends and enjoy a really great cup of coffee. We had a huge slice of the carrot cake which was delicious. Can't wait to come back for lunch which looked and smelled amazing! A great little find at the back of this lovely gift shop.
