    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......

    The coffee was very good as well as my Bagel and egg sandwich. It was just a nice little restaurant.

    A surprising gem in such a small town. Really good coffee, a clean, bright, cute interior. If I lived here I'd be a regular.

    Living out in the middle of nowhere, NV, I have two choices to go to a DMV...Elko or Ely...same…read moredistance. It's a no brainer to choose Ely because their office quick and homey! But, I'm not writing a review of a DMV, I'm writing a review of my lunch at Smash. Those DMV ladies wanted to know where we ate and they agreed, these are the best burgers for a 1000 miles around. I had the mushroom swiss, my son had the regular smash. Deceptively HUGE sandwiches on buttered buns, cooked just right, and seasoned! Fries were tasty. We got there a bit earlier than lunch and didn't question it being empty on a Wednesday, but then we watched the place fill up. People were talking until food arrived and then it was just quiet. That tells you a lot. Can't talk while you're eating. Then I had them pack up all three dessert choices in the display because we could not decide. Chocolate cake, Nutella cheesecake and lemon cheesecake. We drove the two hours home and then sampled...I got one bite of the Nutella and then my son stole it! The husband snarfed the chocolate cake and I hid the lemon from both of them. Waitstaff friendly, workin' hard. Happy to tip.

    This was a pretty good place to eat. The restaurant is a local favorite and is pretty loud as it…read moreis a sports style venue. The prices were to be expected for burgers, wings, salads, and other similarly styled foods. They had a good beer selection that (I believe) was all brewed in house. Don't quote me on that. There was a little bit of a wait for our food, but it was completely warranted due to the place being full of diners. I would eat here again.

    This was my second time eating at JT's. Both times the food was outstanding. Better than any steak…read moreI've had in Reno. My steak was very flavorful, and the Mac and Alfredo pasta is phenomenal. The scalloped potatoes are also excellent. I only received 6 asparagus with my meal though, which was a bit disappointing. Service can also be very slow (almost 2.5 hours from start to end for a meal for 3). But, the food is excellent so I really wasn't that upset about it. I have eaten both in the downstairs bar area and in the actual restaurant upstairs. Both were fine; the ceiling is open on the top floor to the rest of the casino which is a bit odd because the pool is right out there, but it's rural Nevada so I think it more so just adds to the charm.

Then to the main course - a wonderful ribeye - medium rare as I like it. I live in beef country and it was among the top pieces of meat this year. I had extra - ate it for the next 2 breakfasts! I read about the scalloped potatoes - they may well be the best in the world. I think the cheesiness makes them more au gratin - but I took an extra order to go! Good creamy cheesy thinly cut potatoes. The service was great and responsive. A total home run. I had a restaurant and was seated right away. Good food and great service!
