We are on a road trip to visit family and stopped in here for a quick lunch. The place was really…read morebusy and it was seat yourself so we opted for a table in the back corner. It was 11:30a. The waitress told us that there would be a party in the back room at 12:30, but she thought an hour was plenty of time for us to lunch at that table. Husband ordered the BLT (good but needed more, and thicker, bacon to be filling) and I had the grilled fish sandwich (good portion but a little bland). Our sides were the Cole slaw (yummy) and the sweet potato waffle fries (tasted great but they were not hot enough- temps were freezing so I think that's why) Service was excellent. The party showed up 30 mins early so felt very pressed to eat in a hurry and get out of their way as they were setting up for something big.

The Knight and The Bible…read more On a drive up to Chicago to catch a vacation flight, we stopped at The Cup and The Scone to get us caffeinated for the rest of the drive. We got there about 30 minutes before close and the barista was super nice as we ordered our drinks. Emily got a caramel latte and I got the.. you guessed it... an iced americano. We also grabbed a blueberry-lemon, cranberry-orange, and birthday cake scone. While we stood there as the barista was making our drinks, we chatted her up a bit and we were able to get a few free stickers from her. She said they don't use them all too much and was happy to give us two each. Once we got our drinks, we took off to the upper part of the coffeehouse and promised we wouldn't be too long since they were closing soon. Before we headed upstairs, I took some photos with the suit of armor that is by the counter. When we got upstairs, I was surprised to see another suit of armor, so I took a photo with that one, too. The Cup and The Scone specializes in a lot of gluten-free products and a small bit of religion. I don't know if their entire menu is gluten-free but as someone who's mom is gluten sensitive (and I will probably be at some point), the care about GI issues is great. As for the religious stuff, if you don't see the occasion bible strewn about the place, you'd honestly never know. But, their website seems to support helping people and I think that also is super great as this world is getting rough and scary. Any who, Emily and I really enjoyed our drinks. The americano hit all the right notes and Emily was delighted with her latte. We were split on the scones. I really liked the birthday cake while she really liked the cranberry-orange while we both thought the blueberry-lemon was just alright. We held true to our promise and dipped out before 2pm and hit the road. If I find myself in Pontiac for some reason in the future, The Cup and The Scone will definitely be my spot to get some americanos.

I was initially drawn to this spot by the big knight in shining armor that I saw on Yelp (I'm a big…read morechess fan) and then pleasantly surprised at how cool this place is. The decor really makes this spot, with lots of fun themed signs throughout the restaurant. This definitely gives it a different and more fun vibe than the average coffee house and the upstairs loft is cozy to hangout in as well. The coffee flavors and preparation are quite good here -- flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. I also enjoyed the mini scones, with a nice texture that was soft but a little more firm than a muffin. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Pontiac. Great vibe and delicious food.

The menu leans on odd names--Portuguese, Hobo, Gypsy--that don't quite line up with what's on the plate, which becomes its own small puzzle.

They definitely make an outstanding Americano and for only a 1.50! While I was at the counter I overheard the locals talking about planting trees and high school sports. The shop owner asked me if I was from around here and when I said I was from Oklahoma, he told me about his trip down Route 66. Eventually, I told him I was a poet doing shows in the area and he got on the computer right then and ordered my books for the store! I snagged a book while I was there and left with my morning dose of small town charm. FYI, Dixon is Ronald Reagon's hometown + has a really pretty arch going into downtown. Definitely worth checking out this shop.

Between some pretty good coffee and a delicious-looking menu written in and on a unique backing, this place is a gem. I got my usual Iced Caramel Latte and is was good. The staff was friendly. I wanted to sample more of their menu, but I was headed to Matthiessen State Park, so I had already eaten a decent meal before heading out. I would love to go back some day and try their ice cream and baked goods! :3

Tried a signature latte, tasted burnt. Opened the cup, 2 inches of DRY FOAM. They tried to cover the burnt flavor with a ton of syrup, no luck. $6 wasted Funny, two of us got the same thing, the other rated like watery coffee with too much syrup.

I also grabbed a package of their cookie dough which was tasty. Day 2: I had their Chicken Chipotle Melt, which was again hot and tasty. The chipotle was just enough to let you know it was there, without searing your eyebrows off. My wife went for their New York-Style Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, along with a Latte. She said her sandwich was very good - it was so hot when we sat down she had to wait a minute. She really enjoyed her Latte as well. And more cookie dough. Go figure. We really like this place. The service is the right speed to provide quality products, and the place has a really nice look to it, which makes it easy on the eyes. Tables upstairs and downstairs, parking to the west if the front lot is full. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing a gem
