location is good, on Venice Ave. [main st.] Serves good breakfast and lunch. I go there mostly for breakfast , but have eaten lunch a number of times. Atmosphere is sort of French Cafe long narrow dining room with bakery selections at entry. there is st. dining, but it's much more pleasant inside.

Whenever in Venice this is our favourite place to go for breakfast. You can eat inside or on a outside pavement cafe table. Service is always great and the food is wonderful. The Crab Cakes Benedict, with its cajun hollandaise is awe sum! People line up for the fruit scones (of various fruits & combinations) as they come out of... More

We frequent the Upper Crust almost weekly half way through our family bike ride for scones and coffee. We are in LOVE with the scones and cream but are consistently disappointed with the rude and inefficient service. I write this review in hopes that the service can be improved so we may continue to enjoy our weekly family visits.

Second year stopping in for the key lime macaroons--everyone I have brought them home for loves them! Tried the lemon square and it is excellent as well---the size is good for two, but then again, who wants to share. Have yet to try the sit down menu, but there's always next time.

Went in for a quick bite just before we headed out of town after a weekend getaway. The menu options were limited. I was hoping for some fresh baked bread after all the bakery is named upper crust. But, no bread to be found anywhere at all. As a matter if fact, no freshly baked aroma to be sniffed anywhere... More

We stopped here on a morning walk to pick up some pastries and were not disappointed by the lemon bars and berry turnovers. Very fresh and huge, too!

We had lunch here twice - went back 2nd time as first was so good! The brownies are great too. Service was a bit slow but we were on vacation and in no hurry. Staff very pleasant; quiche with salad was delicious, pulled pork sandwich great; surroundings very quaint.

Ate here twice while on vacation.The scones are THE best- love the clotted cream- even better scones than I had in London, England.French toast was mouth- watering.The waitress we had was so friendly and helpful.Ate outside once,inside once- both good experiences.Arning,though, get there early because they fill up by nine and the scones may disappear !

We were walking through town and just wanted a quick snack and decided to try this place. First of all, the decor is adorable. It has a certain shabby chic feel to it, love the rustic feel with the hanging chandeliers, very inviting. I decide to try a blueberry scone to go and got a chocolate chip cookie for my... More
