    The Cup Cafe
    Anne P.

    Fantastic find along the loneliest (and beautiful) road! Nestled in the middle of a old fashioned town (well kept up) this fun cafe was the place place for a breakfast sandwich and fantastic matcha almond milk latte!

    Disappointed that yelp says you're open and your sign says you're closed. I was just driving through and was hoping to get something yummy at the cup. Yes this pandemic sucks! Maybe next year when I'm driving through!

    So good! I got a decaf soy latte; hubby got an iced Americano, each with sugar free hazelnut. We were both impressed. We also got a hot bagel sandwich and a cold bagel sandwich and a cinnamon walnut muffin. The bagels were soft and fresh and they let us customize everything on the sandwiches. The muffin was moist and delicious. The atmosphere is super cute and there was plenty of seating.

    Sweets!

    A delightful spot in Ely! I didn't stumble on it, I read the reviews on yelp and knew we needed to for breakfast while we were in town. We were not disappointed! The breakfast menu has a variety of sandwiches we got them on croissants and bagels. They were huge! They also serve traditional coffee and coffee drinks with your choice of milk, soy milk or almond milk. This is worth a stop if you are in Ely.

    This place is great!!!! I had an Italian Cream Soda & my friend had a Mocha Frappe. Not only were the people very friendly but the drinks were awesome & very inexpensive! Love the atmosphere in the cute little shop. Also had a sample of the s'mores cupcake and it was to die for!

    Neat little cafe. They offer hot and cold drinks and breakfast and lunch goodies.

    Neat little cafe. They offer hot and cold drinks, breakfast and lunch food goodies. I was in town for an event and they were well located in town.

    We stayed across the street for a few nights. This was our go to for coffee. We tried their regular hot coffee and iced americanos. Both were delicious. Better than Starbucks in my opinion. No burnt after taste. We had a couple breakfast sandwiches one morning. They were ok. Nothing fancy. It has the potential to be a really cute place. It's just a bit open and bare right now as far as the atmosphere goes. The service never disappointed and the folks working were always pleasant. It'll be our regular coffee place anytime we are in town.

    Amazing latte......

    Food is adequate, service is ok and coffee passes for a coffee house. Interesting vibe if you're not a local.

    I got turned on to the B Everything sandwich, so good on a fresh bagel, with egg, ham and cheese…read more Served hot and fresh by great staff. The shop smells of real good coffee and is a great hangout for locals. Nice decor.

    Beans and Brews is new-ish to Ely. I have traveled to town on and off for the last 20 years, so…read morefinding a drive thru coffee place was a nice treat when I started making regular trips earlier this year. This place opens early, which is great. I usually stumble out of the hotel in my pajamas and get over to this place for my morning coffee before tackling the day. They have a lot of drink and breakfast options. Employees are friendly enough. They have an app. If you come here more than once, make sure you download it and get a free drink and earn points towards future purchases. They also have specials that you can take advantage of. Sounds great. So why 3 stars? Well, my order has pretty much always been problematic. I am not really fussy and normally won't return once I`m back at my hotel and find something wrong with my order, but it is sort of a bummer. Twice I have had lattes with no vanilla syrup as ordered and I tried an avocado toast once and the bread was barely toasted, still cold, and overall the meal looked sad. I have sort of gotten used to subpar service and food in Ely, but I really wish that this place would try a bit more. When I`m the only one in the drive thru and it is early, it isn`t too much trouble to make sure my drink is right. I shall return, but only because I need my early coffee and this place is convenient.

    The historic Hotel Nevada converted their restaurant to a Denny's franchise a few years ago. When…read morewe asked locals for a place to eat I'm unsure why more than one of them said, "don't go to Denny's". It's convenient, breakfast is included with your room, and it's really no different than any other Denny's anywhere. We went on two consecutive mornings when we visited Ely and although the service was a little slow during the breakfast the food was well prepared, presented and the server was very courteous. The food was exactly as expected, and I can't imagine how breakfast could be much better than this anywhere else in town. It was certainly several levels above any chain hotel buffet of heated up, pre-prepared foods. Tip - when staying for the free breakfast take the option of applying five dollars off of any menu item instead of the free breakfast. It's pretty skimpy. We paid about $25 for a very nice breakfast this way. Give it a try, especially if you're staying in the hotel. There aren't a lot of other options in Ely.

    We came here for dinner. It was conveniently a few minutes walk from the place I was staying at,…read moreand I had a $5 off coupon. There was plenty of tables and service as good as we were rather early. We ordered the Wild Alaska Salmon and Salmon Salad Your Way. The food was very good and filling. Knocked off a star because the waitress said we could select two sides for the Wild Alaska Salmon, but not once mentioning there was extra cost; I would have liked a heads up and not be surprised when I pay the bill.
