I LOVE diner food and i was so glad to come across this diner during my travel to get my dog! You choose your own seating and a waiter comes to you! The menu has the right amount of food options to get at a diner and the prices were soooo cheap compared to New York City! My friends and i were in heavy! Our waitress was so charismatic and added to the experience. With diner food, you really can't miss because the food is supposed to be good and feel cozy. My turkey sausage omelette was sooo delicious. I put cheese, tomato and spinach in it and i don't know what cheese they used but it was soooo good! The hash browns were also cooked the way i liked them! My friend ordered the one singular pancake and it was sweet without syrup but perfect with syrup. And not pictured is the coffee i ordered but the coffee was no frills and hit the spot! Would highly recommended going here and would love to come back! read more

This place is a part of my childhood!!!!! If you are from the area you know this place!!! The mess is my favorite dish! Large portions. Usually busy and noisy. But that is because it's the best place (nostalgic) in town for breakfast !!!!! read more

Great breakfast at reasonable prices. My only complaint was that our waitress was too busy talking to her coworkers to check on us. We had to go ask for more coffee. A vary minor issue and overall a very good experience. read more

This is such a traditional greasy spoon diner. Very few places you can still get an egg and cheese English muffin for $4.00! Great prices, quick service, not much to look at. It's just a basic diner, but great for breakfast! read more

Sometimes, you just want a good, old-fashioned, simple kind of breakfast. Toast, eggs, breakfast meats, and a hot cup of coffee. This place provides exactly that. It has that familiar, older style diner type of feel - no frills, but homey. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is all very good - basically what you'd expect from this type of establishment. The portions are generous. I'd love to see more combination options, as opposed to having to piecemeal an order together, but there are plenty of standard options to consider. I'm always happy to see biscuits in sausage gravy on a menu, so that's obviously one of my go-to options. Overall, a solid option for a reasonably-priced, traditional breakfast. read more

The food and the customer service is great. The prices for your mail or very cost-effective. I recommend this place for anyone who is on a budget and get a good meal. read more

It's rare that a breakfast joint actually has a good cup of coffee, but thankfully this place lived up to its name. After flying in at 5:30 in the morning from Fort Lauderdale, I was in desperate need of decent coffee and lots of it. I had a Small Mess (eggs, potatoes, Turkey sausage, onions and peppers) and it was more than enough food, hot, fresh and really tasty! One friend had a Scrapple Mess (still not entirely certain what exactly it is). While it wasn't bad, it's just not for me. My other friend had Cream Chipped Beef with potatoes and omg that was very yummy too!! Our waitress was fantastic! She was helpful without being overbearing and kept the piping hot coffee coming! The restaurant has a very welcoming, classic diner ambiance. It's much larger than it appears from the front of the building and everything was quite clean. Definitely recommend and will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Antonio's Restaurant in Maitland Florida is a wonderful Italian treat. Their upstairs restaurant offers outstanding service and 'from scratch' food. We dinned at lunch time and had a most enjoyable dinning experience from beginning to end. read more

One of the best hole in a wall breakfast places. You know a place has to special when it opens at 4:30. This place to earth staff with a hometown feel to it. We came with some college friends from out of town. We were all so glad we chose this place. I had seriously one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I enjoyed the French toast too. The prices are also pretty good! I certainly look forward to returning, having some more great breakfast food, and supporting this small business. read more

I love the super old diner feel. It feels like a small town diner you'd see in the movies. A great place to go for breakfast. I loved the pork roll egg and cheese sandwich. My dad swears by the mess- just all the breakfast food you want jumbled together. read more

My sister and I took our 75-year-old father to coffee cup for breakfast today to celebrate his birthday. The place was packed because they have been closed for the last 3 days due to a tremendous flood that hit the town of Downingtown very hard. Everything was great the food was exceptional our waitress was one of the best I've ever had and when I mentioned that it was our dad 75th birthday she brought over a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie that literally had more chocolate chips on it than I've ever seen in my life. April is such a huge smile to his face and is probably the best birthday gift we have ever been a part of because it was so impromptu :) thank you so much coffee cup, we'll be back soon read more

The best breakfast in the area. Good food,good service, diner-like "ambiance." Highly recommend it.

The Mess is what I call it... that's their signature breakfast meal... most of the time.. it's good! Well priced - aka cheap! Its like a little mom and pop shop stuck in the 60's Not very fancy but good food. Go! read more

Place is a joke.... $8+ for a small mess w/ cheese; mind u, a half slice of American cheese. Also, ONE DAMN EGG! Yes, 1 egg, w/ some greasy ass potatoes w/ burnt onions and peppers. TRUST ME, go to MCDONALDS! Their big breakfast is way more tastier than that CRAP the Coffee Cup tries to pass off! I only gave 1 star bcuz that's the only way u can leave a review. read more

Best French toast, fried eggs, and bacon around. They open good and early. Waitresses are great and know everyone by name. I eat here anytime I can. Fortunately the mask people and covid phobia nut jobs did not cause this business to be lost forever like they caused with many others! read more

We got the "messes" they were amazing as was the perfectly seasoned gravy I got on the side. Easily the most beautiful and kind staff have come across in awhile! read more

Long time customer here, but haven't been since before COVID. Went yesterday for daughter's 18th birthday. So VERY disappointed to see a TOTAL lack of social distancing/spacing enforced--every seat (including counter seating-cheek by jowl-every single seat!) was being used. And this is NOT a big restaurant, so it was every bit as "full" as it always is. Lots of customers walking to/fro with either no masks on or way down below their noses. Having been to a total of maybe 10 restaurants total (indoor and out) over the past year, I expected more. It was the first time I have felt unsafe in a restaurant. This is the only place I've been to that has been so slipshod about safe COVID practices, or even trying to space things out--if it wasn't for daughter's Bday, I would have walked. Feel bad for the wait staff, who were working hard and doing their best--and likely way too exposed to irresponsible customers. read more

Just meh. A well known local spot. It took over 45 minutes to get our food once we ordered. It was busy, but we also saw others come in after us and eat before us. Then my daughter's pancake was burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. The waitress was not available for feedback. I saw her out back smoking when we left. She did, however, wish us a happy new year. Not impressed with this place. read more

Warm, welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Makes you feel like you are eating at home. Delicious food at great prices!

Love love love this place! The best breakfast in Downingtown and then some. I live down the road and have been coming to this place for as long as I can remember. If you're looking for good food that's neither a long wait nor a formal atmosphere, I definitely recommend Coffee Cup. That staff is super friendly. The majority of the people around you have come here so often they don't need a menu to order, including myself. I highly recommend the mess with scrapple. I don't think I've ever had better scrapple than this place. read more

Ultimate dive restaurant. Excellent customer service, good prices. Love when they have the game show network on! Basic menu, but food is hot, fresh, always good, fast, and always a good time. Love all the servers here. Fresh baked cakes for dessert are surprisingly great!! read more

I think I made the mistake of building this place up. I've been meaning to come here for a year or two. Finally tried the "mess" with ham and all the veggies. Looked and smelled awesome. After a few bites, it was exactly what I thought it would be. Its was huge and good. But as I was eating, I realized I made something very similar the day before. Eggs with potatoes and onions. That's when it went downhill. It ended up being just ok. We also ordered home fries which tasted like bubble gum and dish soap detergent. Trust me on that, I was thinking about this for a while. Service was great, but only to certain tables. We weren't one of them. Worth trying, not returning. It looks really crappy when you drive by on route 30 but inside it looks like a classic diner with TV's. CASH only. read more

Coffee Cup Restaurant - The Mess with Ham, Cheese, Green Pepper & Onion (comes with potatoes) - Diners Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

4 stars for the hometown, personal place that it is but 5 stars once you know what it is. Been in business for over 50+ years. I like sitting at the counter for a great breakfast and again, its standard fair. Eggs, meat, potatoes, pancakes. Nothing gourmet but home cooked flair. People are personable, townies, and down to earth. Inexpensive as well. I would say 5 stars but trying to keep the rating more consistent across the board. read more

Simply the best! Have been going here since I was little and it never disappoints. It's the little things about this place that make it so great- small town diner atmosphere, friendly staff who help each other, the fact that they give your coffee a warmer whenever they walk by, the pool of butter they put on your french toast, right down to the fact that they serve $3.75 cheeseburgers! But the best part for me is the "mess". My favorite is the bacon & cheese mess but you can't go wrong. Get it & enjoy! read more

I have been going to Coffee Cup since high school. My Wife and our 5 children have been to Coffee Cup since they were in car seats. Coffee Cup is like going in to see family. There is no better breakfast place. If I eat pancakes anywhere else I get angry. The pancakes are the best! Sitting at the counter with my family is the best experience. The staff is always so friendly and interested in knowing how we are doing. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend are regulars there now. The tradition continues. Love The Cup!! read more

Fun place. Feels like home. Came for breakfast at 6:30. Sat at the counter. The place had several parties of what appeared to be working men. Servers were engaging like old friends. I ordered two eggs, sausage and toast. I subbed grilled tomatoes for the hashbrowns. The total was $9 and change. All in all, good food,comfortable atmosphere, friendly people. Street parking is limited, but there's a city parking lot in back. Two bits for 30 minutes. read more

Fun little diner that we found on Yelp... on our way to a family event. A place where everyone knows your name we were treated like old friends! Enjoyed quick service of breakfast food - scrambled eggs, potatoes and pork roll and toast... yum! read more

This place is the quintessential small town diner/hangout. Come for the breakfast, stay to watch the locals. Just be careful where you park out front... read more

I did love this place and was always great breakfast but after so many times things go wrong I give up.. I always end up with someone's food from another meal in my sandwich or mess, the coffee cake came with half a side with nuts on it before and now I have gotten 2 stumps for the same price twice and what drove me to the end was food poisoning.. I got a burger from them and it was pathetic tasted worse than a gas station burger and the onion was so wrong I sadly didn't notice till half way in when I had to put it down because my stomach felt like lava hit it.. that's when I lifted the top bun and could smell how old and nasty it was and when I tell you I threw up, I threw up so hard afterwards I almost passed out. Not even worth to hear the excuses from anyone there but had to say it. read more
