Sometimes it's hard to find a seat because it gets crowded, but that's just me, because you can meet new people or run into old friends.

I have been frequenting this place for years, & the food & service is good, but the amount of…read morepeople that sit at tables for an extended amount of time has gotten completely out of control. Monticello Ave has turned into a ghost town in regard to food choices. Customers are buying one coffee here & taking up a table for four using their laptops for hours on end working. I love their whitefish salad & have had to walk out several times before ordering because there is literally not one seat available on 2 floors!! I spend an average of $30 every time I go in, & someone who purchased a tea 3 hours ago is taking up 4 seats. What caused me to write this review today was the actual "Cuddle Puddle" that was taking place on the couch this afternoon right in front of the register. Three people with no food or drinks were snuggling & playing on their phones without one crumb of food or even an empty drink cup in front of them. There was also a woman holding up a table for 4 while going outside to take business calls on her phone. Is this WeWork or a coffeeshop? Put a time limit on the tables, & no one should be treating this place like their parents living room to take a nap in the free air conditioning. Oh & to the staff member that called me "Sir" today- I am a woman. This whole experience was so uncomfortable I will get my whitefish from Wonder Bagel moving forward.

My entree was shrimp and grits which was also delicious, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and there was a poached egg on top which always makes everything better. I got to pick a type of bread to go along with the meal and was about to choose sourdough until the server mentioned the option of a fresh baked biscuit! Bonus - it was served with butter and house made jam. My husband got the mojo chicken which was also very good, especially the black bean puree. We also wanted to try the crispy bacon fried rice (which also came with an egg!) and it was something we'd definitely order again. Last but not least, the service was amazing! Can't wait to try their dinner menu.

It's so cute and cozy, making it the perfect place to actually sit and enjoy a cup. Their coffee definitely lives up to the hype; the house drip I had was robust and incredibly flavorful, easily some of the best in the area. I enjoyed it so much that I even grabbed a bag of beans to brew at home. It's clear why this place gets so much praise, as the quality is consistent across the board. Whether you're stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or looking for a spot to linger, Modcup is a must-visit for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.

I've never had such delicious chai and high quality, flavorful and smooth black coffees. The sandwiches like the pastrami were also very solid. Service (5/5): The staff and owner are so friendly.

Ambiance (5/5): Really nice storefront with both interior and exterior seating. The ambiance is super chill and a great coffee shop for chats or to do some work.

He was running around the whole time and it took quite a while to get our drinks and food. I love the ambience of this place though! They serve coffee and a variety of savory brunch dishes. Apparently they also have pastries but none were available when we went. For my entree I had the cheese omelet, which came with potatoes. I loved the seasoning of the potatoes! They were cooked really well. The omelet was simple but filling. Unfortunately they were out of matcha so I just had a regular tea instead. They do offer some alternative milks for drinks which is nice. With some extra help this place would be great on a busy weekend day, but otherwise expect to be waiting a bit...

Alongside my cold brew, I ordered a weekend special, which was the creamy spinach omelette. It was really good. The sourdough bread was also good and not too heavy. My fiancée got the Weekender with vegan sausage. It came out pretty well. The vegan sausage didn't feel like your typical frozen fake meat. The egg whites were a nice touch too. Overall a very satisfying brunch and I'd return again.
