They offer excellent coffee, but what really makes this place great is the wonderful vibe. The staff very friendly and the owner is always flitting around making sure everything is perfect.

Find out when the next 'cupping' is and learn about the intricacies of coffee origin from awesome folks at Conscious Coffees. Also some of the best chocolate chip cookies in town!

The purple chairs are the most comfortable in the entire place. Take them when I'm @ The Cup and I'll strangle you =P

Try the nitro iced coffee- so good. Add some coconut or chocolate milk for added creaminess.

The paleo isn't on the menu, but it is a pretty good bang for your buck! It's basically a hunk of egg with your choice of meat.

If 50 cent refills and free wifi isn't enough, The Cup has a great staff and an incredible espresso milkshake. Buy it now in Tiny Tycoons!
