first of all...angela yee...and second of all...lives up to the hype. I am a coffee spot snob, and this places lives up to my snobbery. It's warm, cozy, friendly, unpretentious, aesthically pleasing and of course, the tea I had and complimentary mocktail concoctions were delightful. and the bagel was great. And Christina made my work day here pleasant. attentive and sweet. give her. raise! :)
Cute local coffee shop. It's very quiet so more of a place to read or work than to meet up and converse with someone. I ordered a cafe au lait (which was good) and a turkey and cheese on a croissant. The cheese wasn't melted and the sandwich was cold which I didn't expect. If I go back, I'd likely have a beverage but I wouldn't get anything to eat.
This is my 3rd time coming here and as they say, 3rd times a charm. All 3 times I've come and it has been a pleasant experience and coffee and food has been great. On my second visit, I was able to order their Pattie's. Had one of each and both were very good, the curry split pea was my favorite, the vegetable medley was a little too peppery for my taste. I've gotten an iced cookie butter latte each time, this time I paired it with their everything croissant filled with cream cheese. YUM, definitely a fave now. It was fresh and deliciously fluffy, with the right amount of cream cheese. Definitely one of my new favorite spots, let me not forget, the service is always great. Very attentive and pleasant staff with warm smiles.
Came by to get some work done. There were plenty of tables to do some work. They also have an ample amount of outlets in the space. Bathroom is also super clean. Wifi works well. Prices are pretty good for New York standards. I got the cold brew with oat milk. They don't charge for milk alternatives which is always a plus. I couldn't taste the subtle notes of the coffee, but it was pretty smooth. Coffee was okay, staff are great, and a good place to do work.
Excellent customer service matched by excellent products! The food selection was an ample array of nutritious delights. I had read some reviews on the avocado toast, and was going to up for something else until I ask the lady at the counter for her suggestion. She highly suggested the CUP Avo toast, and it did not disappoint! As an avocado connoisseur, I had made my own version of avocado toast on several occasions. Mixing up with various toppings from turmeric to seafood, and still wasn't ready for the delights that would soon enter my belly! The CUP Avo toast included spinach, hemp seeds, flax seeds, feta cheese, truffle honey and chili flakes. The flavors were a marriage of goodness and the truffle honey addition cannot be justified by words. The service received was stellar from entry to exit! Laura was a tentative and checked for items that I may have given me an allergic reaction. Tony, the Co-owner, was extremely helpful with my coffee to go selection. He packaged the ESPresso whole beans which I will soon be enjoying! CUP - Coffee Uplifts People is co-owned by radio personality Angela Yee. Her positive energy is matched by Tony and Laura. They truly make CUP a welcoming and a great space for remote work. I did not feel rushed and had breakfast and lunch while working. Tables and high boys were dispersed throughout and welcomed workers, meeting space, families and many appeared to be regulars. Love my experience and so did my co-worker, who placed a to go order. Before I left I placed a to go order for the curry squash and seasonal greens Jamaican patties, which were also delicious. Patties paired well with the Maasai tea mixed well with CUPs Bed-stuy lemonade. We will both be back to experience new additions that would be in place soon!
The staff are super nice and the sandwich I ordered was fresh and delicious. They play nice music in the background and it isn't too loud so you can still hear yourself and friends if you are talking to other people. Great spot if you need a cup of coffee or tea or want a quick snack in between work.
Cause Im going to support a Black Owned business!! Staff is very friendly. I was pleasantly surprised at the various menu options (including vegan). No up charge for plant based milk options. Definitely adding this place to my rotation.
Happy to have this in the neighborhood. Black owned coffee shop with Ethiopian coffee beans. They also have a marketplace where all the items are from Black and Brown companies. If you listen to Power 105.1 then you're familiar with Angela Yee. She is one of the owners. I went to CUP on Saturday and was happy to see that they finally opened. The decor is lovely and the space is inviting. They have a ton of options. The food menu is vegetarian friendly and they also offer gluten free options. I would like to try the beyond meat patty next. For my first visit I tried the latte and the yee Rum Cake with Wray and Nephew Glaze. My visit was complete with the CUP experience. The Rum Cake was delish!
Such a lovely & bright café that's perfect to get some work done or people watch. I came on a Sunday afternoon and the place was basically full. They have outlets throughout and free wifi so most people were staying for a while. All of the staff here were super friendly and service was fast. I got an iced tea/lemonade which I can't remember the name of and a lemon pound cake. Both were delicious and refreshing. Can't wait to come back!
I thought this coffee shop was delicious. I ordered the flat white and a hot chocolate for my 4 year old daughter. The barristas were thoughtful in making my daughters hot chocolate the perfect temperature for her to enjoy immediately. Ordered the roasted hummus sandwich (my 4YO thought it was too spicy) but we loved it! Would definitely come back here.
We got a iced matcha and iced latte with gingerbread flavoring. We were very impressed with the flavor variety and had a hard time choosing! The employees were extremely friendly and helpful, making sure we got exactly what we needed. The Belgian waffle was one of the best ever- soft and chewy in the middle and crunchy on the outside! Definitely glad we came here for our tour de Brooklyn
Attended an event here. I've had their matcha at their culturecon popup and it was phenomenal! I most recently had a pumpkin spice latte and rum punch. Amazing service and great space to work, read, and just enjoy some good coffee! read more

Tried the beyond beef patty and sorrel lemonade for an afternoon pick me up, we were a bit overloaded on coffee at the time so we'll try that next time. Patty was pretty good, but it seemed like the filling to crust ratio was off, it took way too many bites to reach the inner filling and by then was kind of turned off. Other patty options seemed vegetarian as well. Sorrel lemonade was super tasty and good, disappointed it was $6 for a small 10 oz-ish cup. Boyfriend is from Memphis, so we got a kick out of the Philip Ashley chocolate collaboration CUP has... if you need a gift for a chocolate lover, look no further. Interior decoration and good music is a plus, not sure if this is an everyday coffee spot for me, but definitely a place to meet with friends or for a special treat. read more

The coffee was great. But the ambiance and the story behind the cafe is even better. When I came in I was greeted by a fun, full of energy barista, and she made some great cortados for us. I sat here surrounded by other people hard at work, and it was the exact ambiance I wanted. read more

first things first, i was extremely excited to find out this was a black owned coffee shop in a great neighborhood. when i came in I was greeted with breathtaking architectural ambiance's. like the interior design is top tier and can definitely tell it was very well thought out. shortly after my shocking observations of such beautiful establishment, i was politely greeted with smiles and hospitality from the manager of this establishment that i feel is rare to find. she was more than welcoming and willing to read the menu off to help me as I inquired about vegan options. her contagious smile & laughter allowed me to instantly feel extremely comfortable with convincing myself, that this spot is definitely going to be a consistent visit. with her help i was easily able to decide on what i wanted. vegan bagel toasted with the (complimentary) vegan butter, topped with a delicious vegan cream cheese that'll have you craving more. the food was perfect & very affordable! i also paired my bagel with a small coffee with oat-milk & it was the perfect combination i never knew i needed lol. i want to extend my thanks to this coffee shop for everything and the amazing customer service 110/10. highly recommend everyone non vegans & vegan to definitely give this place a try! read more

If you're looking for a place to connect with people and have a cup of coffee, Coffee Uplifts People is the place for you. They also have delicious pastries to try out. When I first came to this place, I met Naomi Raine from Maverick City Music. She had a private listening of her new album Journey. I was able to listen to how she came up with the name of the album, do a short interview and answer some questions about her album. read more

The owner suggested the avocado toast next time, which i will definitely be back to try!! read more

This place was the highlight of our visit to Brooklyn. Beautiful space, delicious, interesting food, like jamaican patties as well as european pastries and avocado toast, not to mention the most perfect espresso drinks we've ever had. Great playlist too! And cool people in the cafe. Check out this amazing cappuccino art! read more
