    Classic Eggs Benedict
    Yasiri N.

    This is a classic breakfast joint! The food is good and comes out quickly. The service is very friendly and quick. The vibe is very family/friends/ kids friendly. Sometimes on the weekends you can find a pretty long line but it moves quickly.

    I don't know who's keeping this place in business, but it won't be me. First and last time ordering. Cajun breakfast came with raw white flavorless hash browns, egg undercooked with whites so disgustingly runny, and CANNED MUSHROOMS. Burnt side of sausages. Embarassing, really. Who the heck is out there using canned mushrooms thinking that's ok? Wtf. Learn how to cook eggs. I don't need to see runny egg whites.

    Breakfast Burrito (cut open to see the inside)

    Amazing diner! Once you step into Coffee Cup the ambiance of the diner sucks you back into the 50s. The service is great and the waitress and waiters never let your needs go unserved. The food is outstanding. Everything is reasonably priced and you will need a box before you leave because you get so much food. They have such a diverse menu and I wish I could try every item. I personally love the breakfast burrito because it has so many different flavors and delicious hollandaise sauce. The buttermilk pancakes are nice and fluffy and go great with their maple syrup. I would recommend Coffee Cup to anyone, and will always be on my list of one of the best breakfast diners in the Twin Cities!

    A great spot for breakfast in St. Paul! The wait staff is friendly, hard-working and attentive. You'll never be out of coffee unless you want to be! (The downside is that the coffee is very weak and has no taste.) The food is very good and portions are large. Seating ranges from booths to tables to counter. It's definitely a local favorite! We have been here a couple times and will be back!

    Service was excellent and she was very attentive! Make sure you bring a thin jacket or long sleeve because the AC is very strong inside so it can get really cold! Cinnamon roll is huge! It's as big as a plate but their homemade frosting is not as sweet as your typical cinnamon roll. For me it was great since I don't like it as sweet. Churo waffle smells great but only taste ok. The frosting they drizzle on is the same frosting as the one on the cinnamon roll. French toast was more bland so I wished they would sprinkle a bit more cinnamon. Country fried steak I didn't try but I was told it was great and tasted delicious.

    This is the type of dinner I grew up with. The decor has a little touch of the past. The wait staff is amazing. The food portions are very large and taste fantastic. I came here at the recommendation of a Freind and keep coming back when I'm in the area.

    I decided on some breakfast take out today from the Coffee Cup on Randolph. First time at this location although I've been going to the original on Rice and Arlington my whole life. My grandparents lived a few blocks away and my BFF growing up, her step dad was an investor in the place in the early 80's for a spell, I'm not sure if he's still involved because he's no longer her stepdad. Anyways, the food is so classic "diner." Everything is really good, from the hot turkey, to the pork chop, turkey and Swiss omelette (which for some reason works), a patty melt, liver and onions for those like it, to my favorite, the Greek omelette. The photo doesn't do it justice, it was huge and beautiful! The bag weighed about five pounds. And it's tasty! Just as good as I remember it. The egg fluffy and just the combo of the gyro meat, the Tzatziki sauce and the feta is such a pleasant tartness, I forget how much I love those flavors. I'll be back, there are some new things on the menu! The Greek and veggie burgers, along with eggs Benedict, cream cheese stuffed French toast, and I really want to try the Cajun breakfast! Check it out! Made with love for the neighborhood

    The Segundos Grande Smothered Breakfast burrito is insane!

We were warmly greeted by the host who sat us right away in a sunny spot. Our server was wonderful. I ordered a drink that ended up not being up to par, and he kindly offered to switch it to something else with grace and class, without making me feel badly for asking this. This goes to show the caliber of this long standing institution. Customers are treated well and are respected here. Our snacks from the menu were delicious and perfectly sized. The shrimp cocktail was made well. The lamb meatballs were flavorful and hearty. My Hemingway Daquiri was refreshing without being too liquor forward. Love all the Luxardo drinks on the menu! We will definitely be back!

They thought the pancakes were amazing, and the Cajun Breakfast is everything I wanted it to be and more. They use ground andouille sausage rather than diced rope sausage and it's just so much better. But honestly, I could have been happy just dipping the double buttered toast into the hollandaise for a whole meal. SO GOOD! And the service was impeccable - friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. Only thing that could use a little work is the seating- our booth was torn up badly and not even duct taped to smooth it out. Some repairs/updates would go a long way. But joints like this I don't judge the ambiance too harshly.

Came here for a date night, I got the Broiled Miso Salmon and one glass of wine and my partner got the Steak Frites and a coke. Our bill was $95! Ouch. The bad: If it were really really good I would be willing to pay for it, but I felt that the flavors in my dish, in salmon, carrot ginger sauce, and cauliflower, were whispering at best. I think the cauliflower could have used a sauce or been crispier, it just seemed boring and soggy. The steak and fries also came out cold :( my partner really knows his steaks and was not impressed, it was over cooked for medium rare and it had clearly been sitting too long. Not worth the $38! The good: The space itself is decorated really well, it's pretty dark but the theme comes together really nicely. I personally enjoyed the indie/pop music they had playing and it wasn't too loud. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay ($16) and they had a decent selection of wine but only a handful were by the glass. You can get glasses of by the bottle wines if you commit to getting at least two glasses though which is good to know. For me, the service really saved this review, our server was so nice and friendly, attentive but not overbearing. I would maybe grab a drink and an appetizer here sometime but will definitely hold out on dinner again until their prices chill or the food gets better. ‍ TLDR: Too expensive for the food quality

It is still good, and a beautiful brunch spot to catch up with friends Service was alright. Our server was nice! Though we were a bit confused since we had like 2-3 people asking to take our order? And towards the end I had asked for a to-go box and wasn't brought one, until another server asked if we wanted the check and I had to ask again for a to-go box. Nothing crazy though, I can overlook it since the service we received wasn't bad at all. Overall, food was good, interior was beautiful, and service was okay. It is a solid brunch spot!

The vibes are impeccable and the food is even better!

    I've been a foodie and a food writer for many years now, and I've got to say that Groveland Tap is…read moreas good as it gets. I've yet to try a bad menu item, meet a cranky staff person or sit in a bad spot in the restaurant. Whether you're inside or outside on the patio (summer or winter), you're bound to find the best seat in the house. The staff is incredible, from the front host's that seat you quickly, often asking how your day is going, to the servers who are quick to remember a familiar face. They are kind about offering suggestions, quick to help each other out, and they genuinely know and appreciate the menu. Now for the food. Since I am a diehard burger gal, I immediately went for the All Tapped Up Burger. It is a very unique twist on a BBQ bacon cheeseburger, as the bourbon bacon jam is a sticky, smoky delight that that perfectly compliments the salty creaminess of the cheddar, the juiciness of the burger, and the crispness of the iceberg. The truffle aioli is a lovely touch that perfectly rounds out this wonderful masterpiece, served on a warm, tender brioche bun. I love this burger so much, it was all I ordered my first five visits there. When I finally ventured off, I started simply by asking different staff members what their favorites menu items were. Here's my journey so far: Chips & Queso- This is amazing, and not nearly as simple as it sounds. At home for most people, that's a bag of Tostito's and a loaf of Velveeta. At Groveland Tap, the gorgeous Tajin tortilla chips are served with a spicy cheese sauce that is LOADED with chorizo sausage. It comes with pico de gallo, guac, and salsa macha. Enough for two people, easily! Pierogies- These are as delicious as pierogies get. They are soft, delicate, and stuffed with potato-cheddar. They serve it with a horseradish cream that is supposed to be delectable, but next time I might see if they have a small cup of sauerkraut back in the kitchen. Blue Plate Wings- I tried the bone-in wings with the lemon-garlic parmesan, and they were crispy, yet tender, and the sauce was magnificent. If you love wings, you will not be disappointed. Nashville (MN Hot) Chicken Handheld- Fried chicken breast on a brioche bun. You can have it with or without the Nashville sauce (I highly recommend getting it on the side) and features sweety drop peppers, tomato, lettuce, dill pickles and scallion aioli. The combination here of the hot, crispy, crunchy, soft, creamy, sweet, sour, is out of this world. The scallion aioli is one I started ordering as a side for dipping chips into on future visits. Incredible! Pulled Pork Stacker- They smoke their own meat in-house, so right off the bat, I was looking forward to this one. Brioche bun topped with smoked pork, aged cheddar, BBQ sauce, dill pickles, and cole slaw. You'll need a ton of napkins and it's so worth it!! Juicy, smoky and perfect. Mozzarella Melt- Now this one... it's currently listed as the first item on the Appetizers Menu, and my eyes passed over it 100 times. Without actually READING what it was, I guess I made assumptions. Then I read what it was. It's cheese bread, of sorts. It's garlic ciabatta topped with aged mozzarella and basil pesto... all which sounded good. It also comes with marinara, which initially didn't call out to me, as I get a little picky about Italian food. And I love Groveland Tap so much, I didn't want to have a bad marinara ruin a really good relationship. Throwing caution to the wind, I ordered it, and oh my goodness. The ciabatta was ooey, gooey crispy, the pesto was cool and delicious, and the marinara? I wanted to pick up the plate and lick it clean. It was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and just spicy enough to complement the toasty bread. It's my new favorite! Midwest Mac & Cheese- A special shout out to both John (who recommended this) and Hannah (who recommended we added bacon to it) I can honestly say I have never considered ordering macaroni and cheese at a restaurant. I'll leave that there. But after a manager said it was a favorite of his, I had to take a look. Also, because he and I are both Polish and this Mac & Cheese dish comes topped with grilled kielbasa, how bad could it be, right? IT WAS HEAVEN! The cheese sauce is made in house, and gently covers the most perfect al dente rigatone. It's served with steamed broccoli and a slice of garlic bread. Delicious. New York Cheesecake- Delicious, creamy... as good as it gets. served with strawberry sauce They have a wonderful selection of IPA beer, my faves being the Steel Toe Size 7, and the No. 8 IPA. I wish they'd carry a low carb IPA, but that's like ordering 5,000 calories of food and wanting a Diet Pepsi. Side notes: Try all the aiolis! They are fabulous and so good to dunk anything and everything in. The house made pub chips are good, but the upgrades, whether they be fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, are worth the $ and calories. So good! One of these days I MIGHT try a salad.
