I can't believe it took me so long to try this place; I've passed it so many times! We were here for coffees, but the food options look amazing! There are lots of yummy sounding lunch options, as well as fun kid-focused treats. We ordered coffees and cookies, and everything was amazing! The snicker-doodle was to-die-for, and the drinks were good, too. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. 5/5 Definitely recommend, and plan to come here again! read more

First time here and so glad I made the stop! Got hungry on way to ferry and noticed a long line of cars at 7:45am today going into this place. I swerved over and got in line. Ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel and swapped the American cheese for cheddar. Ordered a large drip coffee too. The service was delightful...personally took your order from car window while waiting in the long line of cars. Reminds me of In-N-Out with that kind of awesome service. Breakfast sandwich: Amazing. Pictures don't do it justice. Loaded with bacon and exploded with flavor. Coffee: Super YUM. This will be my go to breakfast spot now. Thank you! read more

Buttery, tender yet crunchy croissant with a rich sausage patty and fried egg. OMG it was good. The coffee is full bodied dark roast and they make a great latte.

The Cup and Muffin is in my neighborhood. It's very accessible for those who are traveling to and from the Kingston Ferry. It's easy in and out and pretty quick in terms of service. The owner Amy is a really terrific person. Always upbeat and friendly. She takes great care of her customers. I used to really like just about everything on the menu some years ago. However, over the past few years it's just not as good. Nothing on the menu taste as good as it did or as good as it should. I find the breakfast muffins usually underdone and a bit raw, and the bagels tough and chewy. I can't figure out why they can't get my breakfast items done properly there anymore. So I honestly I stop trying. I simply got tired of complaining. I still enjoy the Italian sub if and when it is prepared well. It too has been hit and miss but when they get that sandwich right it is actually outstanding. read more

I was waiting in line for the ferry and just decided I'd get a redbull Italian soda. I approach the stand and it looked cute and the reviews were good. I asked her if she had redbull and she said yes so I proceeded to ask for a guava without cream and whip and a peach vanilla with cream and whip. I didn't realize until I got to my car, she gave me two regular Italian sodas. I don't understand why she would think that I would want regular Italian sodas when I asked I they had redbull?

Unfortunately since I didn't know then if maybe I got the wrong sandwich I did not eat it because I needed the gluten-free bread and I did not think this very awesome bread was gluten free. Or should I say it was not confident that it was since there were no veggies and I got the wrong cheese. Anyway I will be back and next time I will check my sandwich before I get on the ferry.

Consistently below expectations both with the caliber of their baked products and their flippant…read more"service"-- if you can call it that. First their baked goods are stodgy and not properly executed. Their shortbread tastes like cardboard and is nothing like English shortbread should be. No good butter in evidence here. Their koign amman is not even crisp on the outside. There is something off with each baked item. If you enjoy dump and go style baking that don't require any refinement but are full of American sugar, I think you will feel this is an elite bakery. Otherwise, this is a bad knock off attempt. Scones seem to be chewy and tasteless. I got a "lemon poppyseed" polenta cake where there was no lemon-y flavor at all! It was also heavy and couldn't handle more than 3 bites at a time. Stuck in the gullet. Second their service is appalling. The people behind the counter are all in on some inside ball game and customer service is not their emphasis. They are looking away while half-heartedly asking you what you would like, and more interested in serving up verbal repartees to their co-workers while distractedly trying to complete a sale. You can expect to repeat your order a few times. Then there's the off-handed use of bakery tissue which is not quite neat and hygienic. I mean it's a shambolic operation that gets away with it because there is no competition in Kingston unless you take the ferry across to Edmonds.

Cup and Muffin has great coffee and a wonderful group of employee's! Includes a nice drive through option as well as a very nice outdoor sitting area (its covered).. They also care about the community and also they don't advertise it, they do projects for the local community and its refreshing to see a business do this without advertising and wanting attention for their contributions... Beats Cuppa Bella any day of the week!!! Don't get Cup & Muffin mixed up with Cuppa Bella, there is not comparison in my opinion, Cup & Muffin is the best hands down! read more

Love this place but it seems like the prices are getting way to high!!! I can get food and a drink for way less at Starbucks. Ive been taking my business to Latte on your way because a 33oz iced latte and bagel is only 7.50! I just bought a hot sammich and Italian soda for $20?! read more

Definitely the best coffee in town, I'm always on the go. I stop here every day for coffee, some times more than one time. Breakfast- Lunch or just to get a snack. The cool thing about this place is that they are very friendly people,for that reason I give them 5 stars. read more

I stop here any time I catch the morning ferry to Kingston. The breakfast sandwiches are great, the coffee is tasty, and they are surprisingly quick compared to some of the other coffee stands I go through. read more

Borrowed Kitchen Bakery

100000/10 selection at the bakery. The food is really yummy…read more I like the people there too. Good ambiance lots of seating. Next to a bookstore as well!

Consistently below expectations both with the caliber of their baked products and their flippant…read more"service"-- if you can call it that. First their baked goods are stodgy and not properly executed. Their shortbread tastes like cardboard and is nothing like English shortbread should be. No good butter in evidence here. Their koign amman is not even crisp on the outside. There is something off with each baked item. If you enjoy dump and go style baking that don't require any refinement but are full of American sugar, I think you will feel this is an elite bakery. Otherwise, this is a bad knock off attempt. Scones seem to be chewy and tasteless. I got a "lemon poppyseed" polenta cake where there was no lemon-y flavor at all! It was also heavy and couldn't handle more than 3 bites at a time. Stuck in the gullet. Second their service is appalling. The people behind the counter are all in on some inside ball game and customer service is not their emphasis. They are looking away while half-heartedly asking you what you would like, and more interested in serving up verbal repartees to their co-workers while distractedly trying to complete a sale. You can expect to repeat your order a few times. Then there's the off-handed use of bakery tissue which is not quite neat and hygienic. I mean it's a shambolic operation that gets away with it because there is no competition in Kingston unless you take the ferry across to Edmonds.

Excited to try this gem!…read more Very friendly staff and easy to order. The lavender sugar, butter crêpe. It was very good just enough lavender without it being too strong. There's steps to head up when you order and outside seating. Great place to enjoy the scenery and food!

Cute little corner crepe shop at the end of town near the ferry, with a nice outdoor patio area…read morewhere you can enjoy the fresh air. The atmosphere and location are charming. Unfortunately, our food and service experience were disappointing. I ordered the Nutella and banana crepe, which was enjoyable, but my partner ordered the "Moveable Feast" and it fell short. The potatoes were undercooked, and while eating, he noticed there were no scrambled eggs inside the crepe. When we brought the missing eggs to the register, we were told that it did have scrambled eggs. The employee pointed out that there was a very thin layer of egg spread across the crepe itself, but this was not what was expected from a crepe advertised with scrambled eggs. They did not offer to remake the order or correct the issue, and we were simply sent on our way. The location is cute, but the food quality and customer service left a lot to be desired.

This is a nice coffee shop that tests your will power because it's part of a cake shop/bakery…read more There a few seats and a very cozy place to enjoy your coffee. I had an Americano and the Magic Mushroom drink. Both drinks were excellent. The owner Jessica is top tier. She is awesome and made us feel welcomed, like we were part of the family. I recommend stopping in and checking the place out.

There's a reason this place has five stars! It's the best coffee shop in town! They actually care…read moreabout coffee! I know, it sounds too good to be true. It is true, great coffee! They know what they're doing!

Delicious, huge lunch portions. My partner and I shared one salad…read more Incredible bakery items, wide variety of interesting & unique specialties! Fun, charming atmosphere. Great staff.

They still have pretty decent food. Great service. However, the prices have gone way sky high. And…read moreevery time I think about going there now, I changed my mind when I look at the menu prices, and I choose something else. That's just me. I love good tasting quality clean food, which they serve. I do, though, need more budget friendly meals. When the price of a salad, there costs as much as me, feeding a family of three, i have to pause and prioritize. That said, though they have the best chef. I don't eat baked goods, but those who do love their baked goods as well. So definitely patronize them. I'll be back a few times a year, when they rotate their menu and there's something I really want. I just can't eat there once or twice a month like I used to. And it's really the the fact that they price themselves out of my range.
