Up the creek cafe Wantage Reviews
We were just passing through and wanted to give it a try. First of all prices were amazing for the amount of food you get. Food tasted amazing, salad was nice a fresh and my daughter truly enjoyed their prized #1 in the state cheesecake. Lg cheese pizza, garden salad, garlic bread, 4 sodas, 2 cheesecake all for $52 with tax! Highly recommend!!
Ive eaten an awful large amount of pizza around the tristate with work. So lucky to have this close to home. Great crust, sauce and cheese. The meat lovers is 11/10.
Food is Great! Frozen cheesecake popsicles are fantastic!! And the staff is very friendly with great energy! Will be coming back!
Stumbled across this place when staying at a nearby motel. Great pizza and the cheesecake is amazing. Friendly and helpful service.
Visiting the area after Niagara ,traveling back to the United Kingdom via Newark. Best Pizza we've had in the whole trip and 100% the best cheesecake I' e ever had 😃
What a charming little cafe! Had lunch after a visit to High Point Monument. Quaint outside seating on the deck over the creek with our two small dogs. We shared a Greek Salad and Italian sandwich. Both were incredible, but no where near as fantastic as the slice of homemade Cheesecake for dessert. Will absolutely be back! Yum!!!
Wow!! Stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere to eat lunch/dinner. We’re staying out at Tri State RV and wanted to grab food nearby while we explored High Point State Park and we are so thrilled we found you! Hands down the best pizza we’ve had in a very very long time. We’ve travelled through 31 states and this is a hidden gem. Congratulations on all your wins and we are excited to follow your journey and see your business continue to grow.
What an off the path treasure find! My husband and I were traveling around Florida finished going to the caverns trying to look for a cute local spot to have some type of lunch at. He found this great location from Google reviews and pictures. From the moment we stepped in the southern hospitality and charm we felt welcomed. The food was cooked to order and fresh, the prices were reasonable and no short cuts. If you’re ever feeling lost and not knowing where to go just make sure you go up the creek and you’ll find your way home. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful visit and especially Miss Carol who made it even More special with conversation.
What a great experience the staff were all so kind and attentive!! The food was delicious!! The cheesecake was perfection and the pineapple ice pops were a nice refreshing treat!!! Definitely recommend giving this place a try!!!
This is a little, 4-table young family-run pizzeria and restaurant. Atmosphere is fun and very friendly. The spirit of the place is what makes it great, and of course the food, not the decor. The ingredients and recipes are special. We had a veggie pizza. The crust was flavorful, a little flaky, and just-right crisp. It did not become soggy at all! The toppings were all very fresh and delicious, and generous. The sauce was on the mild side, but a fresh tomato flavor came through. Normally we would stop at a pizza. But this place claimed to have the prize for best cheesecake in NJ, so we had to try it. The cheese part was a light, almost airy, burst of flavor with a smooth, airy quality. Quite remarkable.The crust was a tasty (maybe a wee bit thick) graham cracker base. Very delicious in all. Plus, the owners and young server were all fun and interesting people. The experience overall was memorable in a good way, not just another pizzeria.
Kori was super hospitable from the second we came in. Being from NY you’re always skeptical about NJ pizza but theirs is some of the best we ever had , especially a fan of their artichoke pizza ! We also needed to try their award winning cheesecake, it did not disappoint! 10/10 recommend stopping here.
Stopped by here on my way back from High Point State park. The outside porch has a beautiful view of the creek below. Definitely recommend sitting outside. I had the Wings, Pizza, and the famous cheesecake. The wings were okay however, the pizza was delicious. The cheesecake was very tasty as well. The owner was a nice guy that came outside to make sure i was happy with my order. The staff are very friendly as well.
If you like cheesecake like us, you definitely need to check this place! My husband also loved their meatballs parm hero and I liked the chicken cutlet sandwich. The owners are very friendly and cool people. We'll definitely come back.
I visited the place with my family and friend. We stopped over for late lunch after our visit to High Point Monument park. We had Vegetarian along with us and we could find only Pizza for them. Pizza with veggies topping was ordered and pizza was decently good, thin crust was pretty nicely baked. I enjoyed eating chicken parm with a cup of coffee ☕. The cafe is decorated with small details taken in consideration and a must try thing is cheesecake . They say they are the best cheesecake seller in 2020,2021,2022 and it really tastes good.
Cool little place with a nice atmosphere, but $9 for a slice of cheesecake is crazy. Other food was fairly priced
