The cappuccino was perfectly made and paired wonderfully with breakfast. One of the highlights was the beautiful outdoor balcony seating, which was perfect for bringing our dog. The staff went above and beyond by bringing out a plate with ham, cheese, bacon, and fresh water just for our pup. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality really stood out. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Between the amazing food, great coffee, stunning balcony views, and outstanding service, Coffee Cup Cafe is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back!

I ordered the smothered ham and egg bagel sandwich and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was tasty and was made with freshly ground beans from a real espresso machine, which I always appreciate. The sandwich was warm, tasty, and our food came out really quickly. My husband and I shared an apple cinnamon scone that they warmed up for us. It was soft, delicious, and not overly sweet. We sat outside on the patio with our pup. There was plenty of seating, and the view of the mountains in the background was beautiful. The highway is right there, so you do hear the traffic, but it was still a relaxing place to enjoy breakfast. The whole café was also incredibly clean. As a dog owner, I'm usually having to keep my pup from finding crumbs on the ground, but even the outdoor patio was spotless. I didn't notice any food, trash, or sticky tables anywhere. It was obvious the staff takes pride in keeping the place clean. Even the bathrooms were surprisingly spacious and just as clean as the rest of the café. The best part was how kind everyone was. When they saw we had our dog with us, they asked if she could have a treat. I expected a Milk Bone, but they came out with the cutest little plate that had a bowl of water, a few pieces of chicken, a little bacon, a little ham, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. It was the perfect amount for a pup with a sensitive stomach, and she was so happy. Between the friendly staff, great coffee, thoughtful touches, spotless café, and relaxing atmosphere, this was an easy 5 stars. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

They open super early, and when I walked in just after 7 they were already settled, moving smoothly and slinging caffeine like it was the easiest thing in the world. The vibe is comfortable and laid back, exactly what you want before that first cup hits and the day starts to make sense. And then there was my cortado. Made by a barista who actually understands what a cortado is supposed to be. Proper short glass, the right proportions of milk and espresso, and no fuss about it. I was only here for an hour, enjoying the calm and the craft, but I'm sure I'll be back. [Review 1138 of 2026 - 4790 in North Carolina - 26317 overall]

The gentleman tried to make sure I was expecting two shots of espresso and foam, and like a truly uncultured swine, I was like, "Yeah, sure!"

They were SO kind and understanding, and quickly (well, with great care), made me a dulce de leche cappuccino instead, which was delish! If you're looking for basic coffee, this may not be your cuppa. But if you want REAL coffee made with care and precision, this is the place to be.

Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long. Sorry if my review isn't better - coffee shops are kind of hard for me to review because coffee doesn't really look good in picture form. Just drink it!

The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.

There is street parking nearby, and this place is always hopping. This place makes me think of a southerner's take on a French bakery. Absolutely gorgeous on the inside with decadent sweets to choose from, while also featuring classics like a Swiss roll or a cream puff. They also offer breakfast/brunch/lunch, as well as made to order cakes. (Their coconut cake is award-winning). We came in recently and got a BLT, chicken salad on croissant (with watermelon salad), quiche, cream puff, lemon Swiss roll, and lattes. The sandwiches were all delicious and this was my first time trying watermelon salad - fresh and perfect to accompany the sandwiches. Their quiches are large and filling - perfect on their own for breakfast. For lattes, we got a vanilla latte, and then their July 4th special, which had strawberry and white chocolate in it - the July 4th specialty latte was decadent - if you like sweet, you should give it a try. All in all, I think we paid $50ish for our meal. This spot is a must if you're in the area!
