    Pancake, housemade sausage and eggs
    Cali S.

    The Cup Cafe is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Reno for a classic diner-style breakfast experience. I have been to the other location multiple times but this was my first visit to the Old Town Mall location. My party of four arrived on Father's Day around 9am which is a tricky time on a holiday! They were very busy but we were seated in about 5-10 minutes. They were going a very good job of getting new parties seated. On this day I planned to cure my craving of breakfast-house-pancakes and they did not disappoint! I ordered the breakfast plate with two eggs, pancakes and the house-made sausage patty. The pancakes were exactly what I wanted - fluffy and soft with butter and warm maple syrup. The waitress recommended the house-made sausage and it was delish. A little kick to it and very well seasoned. Overall, it was a really lovely breakfast with great service from Lindsay! The prices here can be a little steep. With 4 people, one of whom only ordered toast and coffee, the bill came out to $80 with tip. Not too bad, but on the higher end in my opinion. That said, The Cup Cafe is one of my favorites and I'll definitely be back!

    This is a breakfast hot spot for sure.... We were there on a Friday morning for breakfast and had about a 15 min wait. We were in town for baseball and staying across the street. " Lucky us !! Breakfast was amazing ! I was looking for a petite or senior menu but only saw a limited kids menu. Bummer as I don't ever eat a full meal. I went ahead and ordered the build your own omelette. It was delish and the salsa they brought me was one do the best !! Hash browns were scrumptious too! It's a super cute, homey place. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and provided timely service. It's def worth the wait !!

    Tuna salad sandwich on rye bread, side of potato salad. The best tuna salad sandwich I have ever eaten!

    I keep going back and it keeps getting better. Staff are all excellent. Charming decor, spotlessly clean and great menu. I have eaten breakfast and lunch here, everything on the menu is the best. Highly recommend. Have yet to try their pancakes only because everything else is so appealing when so hungry. Always enjoy being there with the lovely vibe they have created in this welcoming restaurant.

    We've visited a few times now and are always happy! The decor is super cute and feels very homey, all of the employees are very friendly and the service is always fast. The food is really good as well, this visit I had the heavenly hog and it was wonderful, the sausage links are very large and super flavorful, the bacon was absolutely delicious, and the potatoes were really tasty. My son was extremely happy with his chocolate chip pancakes and sausage, rating them 150 stars! overall this is a really solid breakfast spot that is well worth visiting.

    I am visiting Reno and staying at the Atlantis. Went for a walk this morning and found a small coffee shop The Cup Cafe. I only ordered poach eggs with hash browns, however I was a little disappointed. The eggs were over cooked to the point of being hard boiled. The hash browns were under cooked and they only give you one piece of toast, with hardly any butter. It's pretty hard to screw up something this simple, however they did manage to do it. Service was average at best, no personality and very little politeness. Disappointed in my choice.

    The Cup Café has an absolutely adorable interior that instantly reminds you of a cozy visit to grandma's house. It gets very busy, but the atmosphere is charming, and the servers were incredibly nice and friendly throughout my visit.The food and drink, however, were a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the Irish Eggs Benedict, but found it to be very salty--to the point where it tasted almost like canned corned beef hash. On the bright side, the orange juice was absolutely delicious. I am not sure if they squeeze it fresh in-house or source it elsewhere, but it was a major highlight.My total came out to about $25 for one person. While I am not entirely sure if I would give their food a second try, the wonderful ambience and decor are well worth experiencing at least once.

    Breakfast Sandwich and Hashbrowns
    Ryan T.

    Grandpa brought me here for breakfast this morning as grandma was having bible study at her house. The interior was small but nice with scattered decorations that mostly had a flower theming, clean wooden floors, and flower tale cloth with glass across the top. Lots of white as well with white wall paint and the table cloth being white with the flowers, white lights and lamps too. We were sat down nice and quick then we had our order taken within just a few minutes. It took quite a while for our food to arrive, but the place was packed this morning so I can't hold it against them. I ordered the Breakfast Croissant with Bacon and Hashbrowns. The Hashbrowns were very average. Very plain in taste and texture. The Croissant sandwich pretty good. The bacon was pretty hard and tough, but the croissant was good, the egg was well prepared, and the cheese was good. Overall, not bad. The decor is comfortable and the food is good enough. Not too much to complain about here. Definitely a fine enough place to sit down and enjoy some breakfast.

    This was my first time here and I'm so glad I finally made the trip! I went to the Cup Cafe Too, by the Atlantis, not the one further South It has such a cute cozy atmosphere. I sat at the bar and had very prompt attentive service. I ordered the Tuscan Scramble with their home potatoes, and opted for a biscuit at the recommendation of my server (who I believe was also the owner or manager). Everything was flavorful and good sized portions. I left with half of it to enjoy later. They are only open for breakfast and lunch so be sure to put it on your list of brunch spots. They do have mimosas for those wanting an adult beverage to accompany your meal.

    Pumpkin pancake, yum!
    Molly M.

    Located in the Reno town Mall strip mall. Such a cute place, it has a Cozy atmosphere. It was busy for a Tuesday morning but we were seated right away. They have a really good cup of coffee. I got the steak and eggs, it was good. But my favorite thing was their pumpkin pancakes! They were delicious! I will be ordering that again:) Husband tried the Mexican scramble, he cleaned his plate! I was able to sneak a bite in though, it had a fair amount of spice to it. Good flavors. We will be back for sure!

    Bacon Avocado Burger
    Mike S.

    Stopped in for lunch. Service was polite and courteous. I tried the Bacon Avocado Burger. Angus beef, plenty of fresh toppings and cooked to perfection. The bacon alone was amazing! Served with fries that were hot and crispy. I may make this a regular lunch spot in Reno but will try a breakfast option next time!

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Cup Café offers impeccable service and consistently delivers fresh, delicious food. My personal favorite is the Benedict: perfectly poached eggs and just the right seasoning every time. While I didn't get a cup of coffee this visit, in the past it's always been fresh, and the staff never lets my drink get too low before offering a refill. They now have two locations, and I visited their newest spot at Reno Town Mall. It has a charming mom and pop vibe, complete with teapots with your choice of tea, that perfectly fit the café's aesthetic. A delightful experience overall!

    Evan S.

    This location is closer to my house than the original. Everything was really tasty. I got the jalapeño burger, that wasn't spicy at all. Service was speedy and polite. However the single hot cake came with the check practically. A little delayed with that one... dessert pancake?! Haha still everything was delightful and I'm glad this spot is a bit closer that it used to be for me.

    Kids menu. Pancake and sausage.
    Deejay D.

    When I think about breakfast, I'd like to think about this place. The kid and I decided to have breakfast here yesterday. We haven't been to their new location at the Old Town Mall since they opened. We walked in and the place looked busy. We were seated quickly and given menus. The kid had the pancakes and sausage off the kids menu. I got the chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns. It also came with a side of biscuits and gravy! My kid loved the pancakes. I thought they smelled good. They smelled like cake. He ate all of the sausage too. My chicken fried steak was seasoned good. There was a good amount of food. I couldn't finish it all but I tried. Even though the place was busy, our waitress Kelly, was on top of it. The service was great. They might need another waiter/ waitress to help her. Seemed like she was the only one working but she had it covered. I can see why they opened a second location. The Cup Cafe has great food and is a good place to eat.

To be fair I only tried one item, the Thai chicken wrap and it wasn't bad but it was a huge mostly cabbage presentation. Really there was very little chicken in it. I couldn't detect any peanut flavor in the Thai chicken sauce. Perhaps I should have tried a different item? The service was great, atmosphere was non existent, it's a bleak boring dining area. The only cool thing was the stickers on the front window. If I get back to Reno this place would be low on my return list. UPDATE: After receiving a message from the owner I plan to return to Full Belly Deli and try something different. It's tough to make a decision with the extensive menu and as I felt instinctively while there. The Thai Chicken Burritos wasn't the best choice especially when they may lots of breads in house. I'm sure I will be back within the next year, as soon as my client destroys the work I did on my last trip.

Here's why: I walked in, placed my order, was clear on my instructions and preferences, the order was not read back to me to ensure accuracy (not a big deal, right? but I'll address that shortly) and the clock began to tick. Four individuals walked into the store, two were Doordash pickups and the others placed their orders. One female cook was in the kitchen taking care of everything that was sent to the kitchen printer, while another guy was meandering through the stockroom adjacent to the register, and the male cashier asked both of them if he could take his break. Mind you, there were multiple orders, prep work needed to completed, and yet only one person was doing the work, the lone line cook. 15 to 20 mins went by and all four of the other orders were completed and I was the last man standing. Shaking my head and wondering what could have gone wrong or better here, I decided to speak up to the cook and inquire about my order. Then out came the sandwich not prepared per instructions, it was missing grilled onions, raw onions, lettuce, and chipotle sauce on my sandwich... clearly the overworked cook didn't even bother to read the ticket and just cooked chicken and cheese on the grill. The guy meandering through the stockroom suddenly appeared, and they scrambled to fix my order. Overall I have to give this store a 1 star rating as they haven't quite conceptualized the meaning of teamwork, and that confirming orders at the time they are made, then reading the ticket again to ensure proper preparation would have suited them better. Undoubtedly I am disappointed that I paid 24 dollars for a chicken cheesesteak, cold fries and a Gatorade when I could have enjoyed a sit down meal for that price and received better service. Good attempt guys.
