Guys! I just had a scrumptious chicken salad croissant at Golden Cup Coffee. Truth be told, this review should include a write-up about a piece of cake, but I was so full after my sandwich that I can only tell you about the sandwich and coffee! Speaking of coffee, this is not some "grande caramel macchiato in a venti cup, 1/3 whole milk, 1/3 almond milk, 1/3 soy milk, double vanilla, caramel wall in the cup, no drizzle, upside-down, whipped cream, extra shot with cinnamon on top" kind of coffee place. Here, you get light, medium, or dark roast and small, medium, or large. They will give you cream and sugar on the side. And you'll like it! Now, back to that sandwich. The croissant was flaky. So dang flaky. The chicken salad was plentiful and contained some dried fruit (think "Craisins," but better). The chicken salad was spilling out of the sides of this sandwich and I really wanted to lick my plate, but my friend Jenn was with me and I did not want to embarrass my sweet friend. Instead, I licked my fingers, which was less satisfying, but also less embarrassing for both of us. I was offered a side of chips or a salad and I opted for the chips. Jenn had chicken gumbo and honestly, I am pretty sure I heard her slurp that hearty soup. Both of us lied to that delightful woman who took our order. We were so sure we were going back for dessert, but we just didn't have room in our bellies! The food is why you visit Golden Cup Coffee. The charming little shop is why you choose "for here" rather than "to go." We loved the cute little tables with the chairs that fit under them "just so" and left no gaps. Mid-century modern? I don't know. Don't ask me furniture styles. This is about food. Darn good food. There were a couple of guys who came into the shop while Jenn and I were eating and talking about how much fun we had volunteering at the Response to Love Center just that morning. These gentlemen were clearly regulars and were treated so warmly. Jenn and I felt welcome here, but the way these guys were greeted made me want to be a regular so they would say, "Hey Jen!" when I walk in the door. And if Jenn and I become regulars and go together for lunch, they can say, "Hi, Jen and Jenn!" or we can tell them what our friends call us when we are together - "Here comes Jenergy!" (See what we did there?) If you've never been to Golden Cup, you'll need to know the parking is not easy here, but look around and you'll find a place. Jenn and I did okay and we drove separately. Okay. You've read the review. Now what are you waiting for?
I went for breakfast on a Wednesday morning around 1030 AM. My other friend had a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and said it was delicious. I really enjoyed my pita. Very small, maybe 3 tables. Low key, kind staff, delicious.
This is a fantastic cafe on Buffalo's East Side. Aside from being a roastery where they sell coffee beans by the pound, they also serve a variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I started with a medium roast coffee, which was an incredibly smooth roast. It was so smooth, you could tell that this place really specializes in coffee and each drink was supremely pleasant. For food, I had the 2+2+2 which comes with 2 eggs, choice of bacon ham or sausage and two slices of toast. I was served some scrambled eggs with two sausage patties (choice of pork or turkey) and some already buttered sourdough bread. The scrambled eggs were delicious and not overcooked, but perfect and buttery. There is free wifi and about 5 tables -- a nice place to work. I'd definitely recommend stopping in here for a cup of joe!
I stopped here with a friend for a quick bite to eat and coffee. From the minute we walked in everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The decor is beautiful, I loved the style of the establishment. I had the african gold coffee and it was so smooth, I want to try more flavors. The chicken gumbo was a delightful portion, very good size, and I couldn't stop eating it. So good! It reminded me of something my mom would make in the kitchen, very comforting. In the selection of baked goods I saw a pecan pie that I need to come back for, it looked like something you'd see on food network! You can tell there's a passion to this business and the food, and that makes a world of difference! I will be back!
After enjoying Urban Farm Day my friend and I decided to look for a place to chat and enjoy a cold drink. Google guided us here. What a pleasant surprise! Golden Cup is a local coffee shop with more than just coffee. They have a breakfast and lunch items on their menu, about three or four tables, and air conditioning on a nice summer day. My friend and I enjoyed a brewed sweet iced tea and a raspberry iced tea, yum! When we called, I was worried they were just going to have bottled drinks, but this was good stuff. We shared the sweet potato pound cake which was delicious and a generous portion that filled my belly. We felt comfortable hanging out for over an hour, and were able to utilize the bathroom too, which were clean. Quite a few people stopped in to pick up drinks or food while we were there and everyone was treated like family. I also brought home a slice of apple pie and a little sweet potato pie which were both good, especially the sweet potato pie. They had all sorts of desserts, great place to go if you're looking for something sweet. The food smelled real good too, I'd like to try it sometime. Limited menu, but great choices. Glad we found this place!
I read an article from Step Out Buffalo a few weeks ago about Golden Cup Coffee that really intrigued me to try it out the next time I visited Buffalo, and today was the day. I usually travel with a cup of coffee, but silly me, I left my to go cup at home and I was in need of a caffeine pick me up. That's when I remembered that article! Golden cup is a petite but comfy coffee shop that smells incredible once you enter. I wasn't sure what to get, so I asked for a large, black coffee of their house blend; known as "Buffalo Roast." My husband got a large of "African Gold" coffee with half n' half. The Buffalo Roast is slightly bitter, but bold and strong. Sort of reminds me of a mild espresso. I had a sip of my husband's African Gold; it has a slightly sweet fragrant flavor. Both are INCREDIBLE!!! After one sip of each I bought some grounds to take home. I also eyed their beautifully displayed sweets and opted for a slice of Caramel Cake. It's a moist yellow cake with a fluffy caramel frosting. A perfect compliment to my coffee. The woman that waited on us was very pleasant, and patrons were happy to tell us what to try the next time we stop in. I will most definitely be back.
So glad I stumbled upon this little coffee shop! Stopped in for an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich and grabbed some bags of coffee to go as well. The bacon egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich I had was AMAZING! Super crispy bacon and perfectly fluffy cheesy eggs I'm still drooling over it. Ordered the Jamaican Me Crazy iced coffee with just a splash of cream and it was perfect. Can't recommend this place enough! I'll definitely back!

BEST coffee with unique flavors. EXCEPTIONAL breakfast sandwiches. Fair pricing. Great customer service. Home town Buffalo feel where you never know who you'll run into while patronizing this family owned establishment. They also have homemade cakes from a local bakery. Absolutely LOVE Golden Cup. Recommend the Sweet Potato Coffee for something delightful with medium strength and the Buffalo Roast is if you're looking to pack a punch in your day. Recommend the Meat, Egg, and Cheese on a Croissant with Onions, Peppers and Mayo. They offer thick cut bacon, turkey or pork sausage. Soups here are also VERY good and homemade. Perfect for a winter's warm up. Space is cozy and located at the corner of historical Jefferson and Utica across from the library. You can also purchase coffee by the bag or Kcup box. They are also available in Tops and Wegmans but there is more variety directly at Golden Cup Check them out! read more
