The Cup Coffeehouse

I feel like they always seat me at an awkward table — at a coffee shop i would like to pick my own seat or sit on the couch… but the couches are rarely accessible. And I don’t completely understand why they have waiter service at a coffee shop.
Coffee or latte is about $ 5 and the desserts (a cookie) are pretty exorbitant, at about the same price as the latte. Yikes

Been coming here every so often for years. Great spot to hang on a nice summer night. Atmosphere is fantastic. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Just recently had the Raspberry Mocha Truffle and it was phenomenal! Monday nights they have Tarot readings, it’s fun to see people getting these; and every time I’ve been there with live music, the acts have been great and definitely enhanced the overall ambiance of the evening. They don’t just have coffee, they have all types of drinks and desserts. Worth coming back to again and again.

I have been going to this place on and off since I was a teenager. It is a great escape from the usual Long Island night spots. This is the ultimate first date spot in my opinion. There are intimate little nooks with couches and board games to play. Their patio in the summer is awesome. If you happen to be by yourself the people watching is pretty stellar also.
The food is simple and delicious. Snacks, pita pizzas and delicious desserts. My favorite is the smushed pie in a mug. You can’t go wrong with pie ala mode. You just can’t. They have really creative drinks too. If you are looking to stop your heart with a sugary highly caffeinated beverage or take it easy with something more simple like a red chai latte there is something for everyone.
Next time you are in the mood to do something other than get hit on by some sloppy drunk at a bar you should give this place a whirl. All you in the dating pool: your date will be impressed that you aren’t trying to get them drunk.

I go to The Cup all the time and I love it!
Most importantly, the dessert and coffee drinks are amazing! They have special seasonal drinks (pumpkin, etc.) in the fall and winter that are especially awesome. They have some vegan options as well, and usually have soy/​almond milk/​soy ice cream when I ask for it.
The atmosphere is really relaxed. There’s always new artwork on the walls every time I go, candles lit on the tables, and the décor is a little quirky, but in a good way. They have a cart of board games in the back of the restaurant which you’re free to use. It’s a great place that’s casual but not too casual for a date or to meet a group of friends. Sometimes, depending on the day of the week, there’s live music playing. I’m pretty sure on Mondays there is a tarot card reader there as well. In the summer (when it gets warmer and busier) they open up the patio, which was recently redone. I like that because the extra room usually means no wait, and I love the option to sit outside on a summer night. (: They’re open late every night and it’s a really nice alternative to a bar. Definitely give it a try if you haven’t already!

My friends and I were regulars here for quite some time on Wednesday nights. We recently returned after about a month to find new staff. I genuinely missed the old staff, they were just not as pleasant or accommodating. After about 45 minutes of waiting for our food which included a salad and two flatbreads we were promptly handed the check. We informed the waitress in the beginning that we would most likely be ordering dessert and got the vibe that they were ready for us to go since the place became busy but was virtually empty when we entered. She made a huff about having to re-​write the check even though she never asked us if we were done. Just all in all not as a pleasant experience as we were used to.

The cup coffee house which claims to have come before the witches brew is definitely a quality and salad spot.
I hipster staff with the hipster Man U play food items in a lot of different desert choices coffee is hot drinks and tease with occasional two-​piece man what band live music definitely a nice bar definitely great for a date if you wanna bring somebody somewhere nice to relax sit and talk and maybe enjoy some good music and check this place out

Hate to give such a low review; love the cute little coffee shop vibe along with the food and coffee is amazing. However the waiter has a terrible attitude which makes you feel uncomfortable. Third time there cause I love the place but the waiter needs to improve his service

I live around the block and had never been here. I don’t know why i love coffee and tea haha. Its cute and cozy. It was crowed but the three of us sat on one long couch. And we made friends with the people on the couch across from us, it was fun. We got got coffee, espresso, and a soy vanilla chai latte. Amazing chai latte. Better than any place I’ve ever tried it from, definitely recommend. We munched on a piece of rainbow cookie cake and a molten lava cake. Both were good. Cool little place. I want to go back when they have live music.

I have been coming here for years and it just never gets old.
From their wide variety of teas and sweet beverages to their dainty sandwiches, to their vast array of desserts you just can’t go wrong.
Bring a date or bring a big group of friends, this place is hip and has a great vibe perfect for any occasion. You can even grab a game or two from the back of the room or come during open Mic night for some entertainment.
Staff is friendly and accommodating. Be aware, this place is small and get very crowded during prime hours. Sometimes there could be a considerable wait period and there isn’t always good place to stand.

Was super cute! Didn’t wait long at all for our food or drinks, only waited awhile for the check! The buffalo chicken dip was delish and I don’t like blue cheese so I was shocked I enjoyed it. I got the gingerbread latte and it was amazing and the Andes frozen hot chocolate was pretty good too! It’s kinda dark in there but they have all vintage furniture and it’s a cute place to jut talk or catch up with people over a cup of coffee. Would definitely go back again!

Friendly wait staff and good coffee. The place has a nice hipster feel to it, cool artwork, and good music. I didn’t try the food, so I can’t comment on it. But they did have vegan and gluten free options on the menu, including soy ice cream.
The reason I gave this place three stars is because my friend and I were sitting on the couch and they asked us to move because they were reserved for parties of four. There are four couches and we were the only people using them.

A friend and I went here this past weekend for the first time as we wanted to go to witches brew but called ahead of time and the line was out the door.
Definitely not as good as witches brew but it was a nice dessert place for staying local.
Our waiter was very nice and friendly. He gave us some recommendations and we went with the giant chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on top. Holy cow was that delicious. Also recommended by our waiter was the brownie covered with chocolate and raspberry sauce. We didn’t get raspberry sauce as we both don’t like it, but both desserts came out ala mode which added a special touch, especially in the cold weather!
I love how you could play games and old board games to make it a hang out place. Very good for either groups or parties of two. Relaxing, but the reason I took off 1 star was the crowd was weird, and the seats are not so comfortable and it gets a bit crowded.
Prices are quite reasonable. I would definitely recc the giant choc chip cookie over the brownie… and that was actually the cheaper dessert. It’s huge and definitely can be shared by two people. I believe it was about 5 dollars with the ice cream and the other was 6. Give or take for two desserts with tax was $ 12.00 and change. Not bad at all!
Would go back again!

Good, relaxed, cool spot; slow service but take that time to catch up with friends or just relax. I think they’ve got some board games and live music and things. Decent spot to check out in my opinion.

If the food wasn’t so great, I’d give only one start after the experience I had here with my friend last night. I’ve been to The Cup a few times and even participated in Open Mic Night many years ago. What a cute atmosphere and nice little coffee shop that the area needs.
I went here with my friend last night and probably encountered one of the worst waiters I think I’ve ever experienced in my life. He seemed truly bothered to be serving us and it took forever to get all of our things. We struggled to get his attention all night and anytime we did, he seemed truly annoyed. He also seemed to be the only one working on a crowded Sunday night. How poorly understaffed.
The latte my friend got was 75% foam. For the $ 5.00 price, the latte needs to be made the right way. The dessert we wanted to order (the vegan brownie) wasn’t available, and we weren’t told that it wasn’t when we arrived. We also weren’t told about the specials (lots of cool pumpkin flavored things), which we would’ve liked to have tried. When we asked for other vegan dessert suggestions, the server didn’t seem to know the menu at all. When we were ready to leave, we asked for the check and put our credit cards down on the table (yes, we are those annoying people splitting the check on two cards). After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, our waiter came up to us and said «are you going to take care of that?», without letting us know that we needed to take it up front (which we didn’t know). Then he told us they weren’t accepting cards, and that’s all we had on us (there is no ATM there). There are no cash only signs and were none up. If you aren’t accepting cards, you need to tell your tables that beforehand. We had to go up to the manager, who did accept our cards, and also was underwhelming in the friendly department. Even though this a great place and totally my style, I won’t be back because the service is terrible.

I’ve been to the cup many times. It’s great for a quiet-​ish night, especially when you can sit outside. They have a bunch of old school board games to play, most of them in pretty good condition. This most recent time I had the caramel apple herbal tea (I can’t have caffeine so I’m severely limited on the tea front) and the cheesecake. The tea was fine, pretty weak even after I let it steep for a long time. The cheesecake was delicious, however, and my girlfriend also got dessert and loved it. All in all we were there for about an hour and a half playing games and enjoying the weather and we left having only paid $ 23 including tip.
Highly recommended.

My friend showed me this place and I absolutely loved it. I just felt that the people there were really friendly and actually cared about their service. Although our cheesy fries took a long time and the place wasn’t busy doesn’t change the fact that everything was delicious. You can tell that they put effort and love into what they make! The prices were great. I will definitely come back

The best thing about this place is that it’s open late and somewhat comfortable. That said, there really isn’t much in the way of a «coffeehouse» here.
It’s really a sweets shop that happens to put coffee in some of their drinks. I usually order the (very expensive!) tea. I made the mistake of ordering an espresso here before, and I was served a small mug full of watered down, bitter espresso. This happens when you pull the shot for way, way too long. A novice mistake to make for a place that claims to be a coffeehouse.
If you’re coming here for sweet drinks and pastries, then I’ve heard they’re very good. I’m not much of a fan myself, so I can’t speak to their quality. However, if you’re seeking good coffee, steer far away.
Oh, and I’m serious when I say the tea is expensive. For simply taking a tea bag and placing it in a cup of hot water in a tall thin glass, charging upwards of $ 3 for it is a bit of a stretch.
The service staff are friendly, but the menus are gross. They’re cool menus and they’re fun to look over, but they’re not cleaned often enough and they probably need to be replaced.

Been here a buncha times, but 1^st Unilocal review. Cute coffee shop and intimate, cozy setting with couch seating. Great place to hangout if you don’t want that rush of in and out once you finish and get the check. They have a few food options (nothing crazy), but I’d recommend going there for their dessert and milkshakes/​coffee drinks. They have live music Friday’s around 9, not sure about other nights. Indoor seating, and outdoor option too. And best of all, they have board games! I always play guess who or taboo here, love a place that encourages bringing out my inner child.
I recommend– the frozen hot chocolate, the smores or blondie brownie squares. Lot of choices for milkshakes too (would love to try the chocolate banana or hazelnut soon!).

This is a great spot to come a grab a coffee and dessert with some friends! I usually come here once or twice a month. The food and drinks are not the best that I’ve had, but they are pretty good. I usually get the gingerbread latte or tea. The buffalo chicken dip is pretty good and most of the desserts that I have tried have been good as well. The décor is also pretty cool, definitely has a hip coffee house vibe. I also like that they have some old school board games available for people to play with, they always make for a fun time.
My best advise is do not go on open mic night, they usually charge a $ 2 fee on your check and the music is really loud which makes it hard to converse with the people you are there with. Overall this is place is pretty cool.

I came here for coffee and dessert with a friend. The place has a nice feel to it — very coffeehouse with small intimate sitting areas, mismatched furniture, candles, board games you can grab and play, and low lighting good for conversation.
The menu has a good selection of snacks and sandwiches but I only had dessert and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was good, and for dessert I had the Tollhouse pie which basically was a chocolate chip cookie pie with nuts. For a twist, you can get your pies «smashed» in a mug with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.
The servers were friendly — they had a good sense of humor and were attentive throughout. They also had live music playing which adds to the coffeehouse atmosphere.
