Up&Adam Eatz sits at 3903 Canal Street in Mid-City. The name comes from a phrase the owner used as a greeting for years before it became the restaurant's identity, tied to a long-held dream of running a coffee and breakfast spot.
The foundation is a specialty coffee program built on fair trade, 100% arabica beans roasted in small batches, which expanded into a full breakfast menu.
Regulars point to the grits and beignets as standouts, and the spot has built a reputation for personal touches from the owner and a cozy, intimate atmosphere — the kind of place people tend to find through word of mouth rather than advertising.
