I picked Cups Cafe when a friend offered to take me to lunch for my birthday. I made a good decision. I was really impressed with the decor, the staff, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Ahi Tower. . .yummmm!
I saw fish tacos and a Cobb Salad that looked lovely too. Thanks, Theresa!!! Thanks, Cups Staff! 💕🍧
Not their fault, but parking can be an issue. If you're part of a group consider riding together.

The alliteration brought me here. The cool vibe, decent enough food & nice service kept me there.
ITEM'S ORDERED:
Chilaquiles
Shrimp Frittata
Blood Mary
TASTE:
Both dishes tasted fine enough, but I do think they could have used more flavor overall.
I did not notice (until now) the Chilaquiles comes with either red or green sauce. They just gave me red sauce & I think getting both sauces would have made the dish much better. I'm a big fan of queso fresco & the salt flavor it brings so I enjoyed how they gave a good amount of it. The portion was quite large & with the over hard egg on top

Cups is a charming Cafe. Our server was equally charming and the four of us enjoyed our meals. I loved my Lox and Bagel. Presentation of the meals was also appealing. Cups only serves breakfast and lunch. They close at 2 p.m. If you get a chance to eat there I think I can guarantee a great meal from a menu with really good selections. Indoor and outdoor dining available.

We were a group of 8 trying to find sitting at Cups Cafe on a Sunday. Our wait time was 1hr but the host was super nice and kept doing time checks with us and really did his best to seat us all together. Our waiting team was efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. The only problem I had was that I ordered the fish and chips and there was some plastic cooked into it. The manager was super helpful and even offered me something else to eat and helped to rectify the situation. That did not put a damper on our fun at all and I will definitely visit again, especially for the cinnamon swirl French
