Horrible service at the Coffee Cup. Came here with a friend to do some homework and eat a little snack. Cafe was empty except for about two other families. We were disrespected from the moment we set foot in there. Waitress was snappy and short tempered and did not even maintain eye contact. Said they don't do wifi here but had at least 5 Wi-Fi's with the name CCup and snapped when we asked. Not a great experience and I would recommend any other cafe in Hamilton but this one. read more

Great selection of food to order. Anyone can find a favorite dish. Mine is the chicken cashew salad. So well put together and perfect when looking for a nutritionally balanced diet. And yes, their home-baked goodies are delicious too. LS read more

Worst dinner meal, how do you make dressing that is tri-colored. I did not know what it was until I tasted it and all I could taste was sage. I ordered pork roast but not sure what the meat was. The only thing legit was mashed potatoes but the beets were right out of the can. My husband ordered chicken fried steak and it was frozen, probably from a Food Service business, and thrown in deep fryer. I wish someone would sue them for their sign which states, Home Cooking. Breakfast might be good but our dinner was horrible and the waitress did take half off our bill but she never came over and asked if our food was ok after she served it. How do you make dressing tri colored???? read more

The breakfast my family had was wonderful, there were 6 of us on Labor Day. The place was extremely busy and under control . The wait to be seated was not long about 5 minutes , the very nice lady at the front told us 10-15 minutes , and she even came by with coffee and to check on us personally. Our waitress Brenda was wonderful . The kids pancakes were a big hit with my 2 and 4 years olds. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

PROS: Decent food, large portion, large selection on the menu, open late, good service, plenty parking space CONS: Food can be better, it's decent, but it has room for improvement. I had the fried chicken dinner which came with a simple salad, daily soup, dinner roll, potato, and the friend chicken. Everything was okay, but the chicken was a little bit too salty and on the dry side. read more

Service was the worst - server seemed genuinely offended that she had to wait on us. It was a disappointment because we (party of 2) were looking forward to eating here and didn't expect what came next...but... I'm white and as country as they come, but my guest is Filipino and it was obvious even to ME what her real problem was. Some old woman then came from the kitchen and pretended to need something just so she could come out and get a good look at the non-white guy. I can roll with the punches, but yall made my friend feel bad about his day. Yall have nerve putting all that stuff about Jesus Christ everywhere on those walls because yall behave like godless Democrats. We didn't mean to interrupt the Klan meeting, ladies. The food was actually pretty good (assuming no one spit in it), but I watched another server cut a piece of pie for someone else with her right hand, while she held the top dead center of the pie steady with her left hand. Then she transferred the pie piece to a small plate with a pie server and her sticky fingers. I'm not just throwing that in here for dramatic effect, either. The problem here isn't "out of towners", "city folk", "Hollywood types", or any of that other bs some of these other reviews suggest. This is an unspoken "whites only" establishment, period. Let's just call a spade a spade. So if you like your burger with a side of old-fashioned ignorance (or the flu), then stop in and these mouth breathers will begrudgingly accommodate you. Otherwise, eat somewhere else. read more

Super fun & kitschy, old fashioned restaurant where you go pick out your favorite seat! We had the biscuits and gravy as well as the chicken fried steak for breakfast. Huge portions and you won't be disappointed! read more

Wow! We were driving through the Bitterroot Valley and stayed one night in Hamilton. We looked for a place for dinner, passing up the fast food places, and saw The Coffee Cup which advertised "home cooked meals," Perfect to try. We had a great dinner! Hubby had the pork roast and I had fried chicken. Full dinners include soup AND salad which is impressive for a diner style place. We both had the cream of chicken soup which had chunks of chicken and was nice and creamy. The salad was fresh and included cauliflower and broccoli florets. The fried chicken was crispy and light. I chose the mashed potatoes which are real and were tasty. Hubby's pork roast also came with the potatoes with homemade gravy and dressing. His meal was excellent! We passed on dessert. Overall it was a delicious meal with fast and very friendly service. If we lived here we would become regular customers! read more

We were in Hamilton for seven days and ate here a few times. The waitresses could care less about you, unless you were a local. I thought one bad and rude waitress is bad, but rude waitresses three out of the four times we went there is pretty horrible. They don't check up on you for drinks and when they take your order they're rough. The hash browns never came back crispy, as asked. It's like the waitresses don't care enough about serving you to pay attention to your requests... Will find another spot when we do come back to Hamilton. The town is awesome and the scenery is beautiful. And not everyone is rude. read more

Coffee Cup This is where the locals go in Hamilton and from the surrounding area in the Bitterroot Valley. The food is simple and ample. Many of the older retired men eat most of their meals here as they have daily specials for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be a cultural anthropologist in watching the customers. There are cowboys, trades guys and families. A good number of people from Salmon, Idaho eat breakfast here on their monthly early morning drive to accomplish serious shopping in Missoula, an hour further north. Everyone is nice and friendly. The owner is there every day and must have warehouses full of decorative "collections". Sometimes there are dog things, chicken and rooster things, toys. There will be photos, tapestries, hook rugs, objects and anything with her particular theme. Some of it is really antique, but that is her thing and it is interesting to take in. Their waitresses are wonderful, keeping up with orders and accommodating any particular customer preferences. And they know all the regulars and their preferences. Newspapers are in a rack at the end of the counter. The menu has standard stuff and you can go no-carb, substitute and even get senior, or smaller portions. Ask for what you want and they will do your best. Sunday mornings are very popular, so get there before the church crowds come in around 10am. Oddly, their coffee is weak and watery, but their customers are used to it and that is not going to change. It is not unusual to ask the waitress to do a "double pot" which is double strength, approaching decent coffee. But you better drink more than two cups each! Or you can get a shot of espresso to man-up your java. Pies are home-made and wonderful. If it is in season, like rhubarb, they make it. We many times have pie for breakfast or take come pieces home with us for later. Don't miss the pies. And they make a really mean sticky bun, goopy with raisins and melted sugar. Oh boy! Remember that this is rural Montana, so you are eating with real people who work hard to make a living and have a lot of pride in being responsible for them. Friendly is normal Montana behavior, so acting out or being angry/upset is inappropriate. If you have a problem with the food or service, which I doubt, take it up quietly and with dignity and they will take care of you. You get respect by giving respect. After all, you are a guest in their house. read more

Popular breakfast diner among locals and for those who don't have taste buds. I think it's severely lacking in taste, I mean, how do you even screw up an omelette? Hash browns needed massive seasoning too, even extra salt wouldn't be enough here, give me that hot sauce please! The sticky buns on the other hand are okay, very sweet. Service was mediocre, I think they were down a server too since someone came in late. read more

Menu has a great selection. We always come here for brunch since they serve breakfast all day! They are always very busy so plan on a little wait. We like the old time feel of the place, lots to look at. The waitresses are helpful and pleasant. read more

The iced tea wasn't terrible. They have breakfast all day. No one wants to be there, not even the people being paid to stay. That's really all I can say...and that's probably all you need to know. read more

I remember this place when I was a kid growing up in Hamilton, MT as Wanda's Cafe and even though it is now (and has been for a while) The Coffee Cup, the place has not changed. When I walked in, every memory came to present as the counter area, kitchen call window and bench stalls have not changed (they still have the carved animals on the stalls).....well new fixtures, decorations and carpets, but the place remains as a classic diner like feel. Breakfast is classic busy time with all the options and choices you would ecpect. I had the ham and egg scramble with added cheese, home fries and buttermilk pancake. The trio of syrups, maple, berry and apricot?....was the best part. The food was hot and I had to laugh when our waitress carried all of our food stacked on her arms....it was like watching a classical dancer. As a kid, I remember my mom working there and was trained to do this. Brought back great memories. The surprise for me, was the corned beef hash and sunnyside eggs. The hash was real, seasoned to perfection and had all those crispy textures you get when cooked on a flat top. It was the best I have had in a while. I loved the experience, hot food, quick service, attentive, but busy waitress, and the simplicity (yet tons of options) was memorable. One of our guests wanted a hamburger for breakfast and they happily accommodated. Food is priced well for the portions we got, we even joked with our server, that we may need an extra table for the food we had. The food was simple, tasty and you could tell it was made on a well seasoned flat top. It was great to see all the locals who loyally come for that cup of coffee and a breakfast. The regulars still hide, behind the counter, the cup and dice (a serious game and only for the true and tried serious player) when they come in. I can see why it is a local favorite and always a great and reliable place to get a hot cooked meal made to order. read more

If you like your grandma's coffee house, this is your place. If you like fresh-roasted, single origin coffees, it is not. Based on what it is, I give it four stars. I wish these places would embrace modern improvements (not everything modern), but they would probably alienate the +55. EDIT: coffee was water. Three. Disappointed there is nothing about the coffee I am about to drink. It was probably not Swiss-water-process, and most likely an industrial offering. Sip... It *certainly* tastes that way. Way watered down too, like a teabags amount of coffee was used. And this was from a 'fresh pot'. I think I feel strange. Parking is easy, and I see top sirloin for $13.45. I want to spend my money in a place that takes more effort (although by no means was service bad) in the big, little things. This is the kind of coffee someone drinks when they want caffeine and no flavour. It's decaffinated. read more

Just got kicked out the restaurant by Ariel. She was very rude to me after I asked for a larger cup of juice, I requested to have a different waitress. Long story short she ended up calling me an illegal immigrant and to get out the restaurant. She kept harrasing me while I was carrying my 1 yr old until I left the restaurant. Wow! read more

I live in Hamilton, this afternoon I had a cup of coffee $2.00 and a blueberry muffin $2.00 Total bill $4.00. The coffee was weak and had zero flavor and the muffin was tiny and tasted like it came from a Jiffy muffin mix, horrible. I will never stop here again. The server never asked if I wanted a refill on my horrible 2 buck coffee. A place calling itself the coffee cup could at least have a decent cup of joe. Unless you are desperate give this place a pass. One review said you would think you were in the 50s' except in the 50s' a decent cup of coffee was 10 to 25 cents depending on the place. Honestly, I tried to be fair, but it rankles me to be gouged 2 bucks for a small cup of dishwater. If you want coffee stop at Mickey d but there are much better choices in this town. read more

This restaurant had already lost my business after it allowed a patron to leave a shivering dog out in a truck in -20° weather. Now they don't care about our health nor our following state health orders by not requiring masks in their business. Do not eat here. Who knows if they even clean properly. read more

Such a cute and warm cafe. Great home cooked meals that are huge! Even the small portion. Veg soup was full of great veggies and wonderful flavor. The salad that came with the meal was also full of fresh veggies. If they have chicken and dumplings it is fantastic! Stop in sit down and enjoy the fresh home cooking. The down side is that they would t let me spend the night there so I could have breakfast the next morning. read more

Not the best service or attitudes floating around here. We have loved this place in the past but not so much now. Was a disappointment , which was a bummer as we always want to support local . Hope they fix whatever is wrong here . read more

I went to the Coffee Cup to get a piece of pie to go at around 2:45 on 7/16. I stood for a while in front of the pie counter, then sat at the counter, thinking that might get me some service. Two ladies were standing at the other end of the counter, just talking. Finally they laughed and one went the opposite direction to where tables were. BOTH of them saw me. The other lady started leisurely filling up some small containers, with her back to me. The 1st lady came back into the counter area, did nothing, then turned around and walked back to where the back tables were. Finally, a young woman who had been waiting on a back room came up and took care of me. I can't imagine why the 2 ladies would ignore me, knowing that I wanted service. It's not like they were busy. I guess an older lone woman is unimportant to them. I have come here with my husband and even another couple, no more. read more

I'm visiting from Florida and if you want to feel like you are in the heart beat of America come to the Coffee Cup! It's where the locals go. We met so many people and learned so much about the area. The people in there are super nice, friendly, and welcoming. We left with a local's phone number and another's business card. It's so refreshing. The food, is fresh and yummy and service was wonderful. Definitely stop by the Coffee Cup especially if you are here visiting. read more

This is your typical down-home cafe. It's a favorite for a typical diner breakfast. the eggs and bratwurst is really good, and a favorite of mine, and my husband loves their biscuits and gravy. Since they seem to be known for their baked goods, instead of toast one morning I ordered a muffin, and was hugely disappointed. The muffin was not fresh, was dried and despite the waitress claiming that they were "baked that morning" - the obviously weren't. However, I've seen their massive sweet rolls being served, and am sure those are as amazing as they look. I'd give it a 3.5 star rating because of the muffin but a 4 star on everything else. read more

Super busy place with a large menu to choose from... service was good, food was slow and lots of people coughing and hacking which bothered me a lot course that's not restaurants fault!

I ordered a meal with fries and asked for the fries extra crispy. The waitress came back with my food and the fries were barely cooked. I asked her to take them back and cook them again and she responded that the cook said he put new oil in the fryer and that's the best they can be cooked. She made no effort to make it right so I had her take the meal away. Then walked off stating that I am getting emotional. I did not know that not wanting to eat uncooked food was emotional. read more
