We loved that it stayed calm and quiet, even with a small morning rush, which made it a perfect spot to sit and enjoy our drinks.

I ordered an iced vanilla latte, and it was crafted to absolute perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The vibe inside is super laid-back, making it a great spot to just unwind.

I can't wait to come back and experience the evening setup!

The best foodie quest so far this year…read more I fell off in love instantly with the cottage style house setup. As I walked up to the counter there nothing but smiling faces staring back at me. I ordered an egg sandwich on sourdough bread with an iced tea. I also ordered a sourdough rosemary & garlic loaf to go. The iced tea had a mild minty flavor and it tasted out of this world. Definitely refreshing. The food tasted so fresh and "real". I can't wait to go back!! I chose to sit outside because it was sunny out and I loved the outside eating area set up. There are plenty of colorful tables/seating outside. You can choose a table tucked away from the peaceful street view or sit out near the tree and street view and enjoy the sun. Outstanding experience!

I tried the egg sandwich with sausage links added and the bread it came on was delicious as was the sandwich. I also tried a bite of a friend's pastry the cardamom swirl which was wonderful as well. Lots of coffee/ tea options too. The inside is a little crowded especially for a large group so we sat outside which although their outdoor area is cute, is tough on a Jax summer day. There were tons of ants and bugs that made it difficult to sit down and enjoy. No fault of the restaurant but would recommend eating inside if you can find a spot. Food came out quickly and the staff were all pleasant.

It was bold rich and delicious. Their baked goods looked amazing but I'll have to try those on the next visit which will be soon. The staff were very polite, very informative and extremely helpful. Inside was a great chill vibe with relaxing music playing in the background and it's a fantastic place to get coffee, hang out or do some work. There are several coffee spots in the Riverside/Avondale area and Bold Bean is one of the best. If you're a coffee fan, Bold Bean is a must if you're in the Riverside area.

I was there for a Cheeselandia event and I must say they picked a lovely spot. As soon as I walked in I noticed all of the plants scattered throughout the space. And the presence of the plants instantly gave me a peaceful feeling. I took home a piece of cake as well as a piece of spinach quiche. Both were delicious but my favorite was the quiche. The piece was big enough for me to have it two days in a row. Service was friendly and inviting. There was also a huge patio and a parking lot. They host regular events such as trivia night which I learned from reading the flyer on the bathroom wall. And they are open later than a regular coffee house. I suggest stopping in and checking them out!

When we ordered, he mumbled back and forth and seemingly didn't understand our relatively simple order, which was a bagel, egg and cheese sandwich and a PBJ on a bagel. My wife also got an iced coffee drink. The man at the counter had an attitude with us the whole time, especially after my wife asked for an iced coffee rather than the hot coffee he served. He was huffing and slamming doors and dishes, and it was really unnerving. The most egregious part was the cost. For the above three items, this man actually charged $31. I didn't even bother to argue with him and just paid the tab. There's no way we weren't overcharged, but I'm equally certain he would have resisted any attempt to examine the bill or gotten angrier... over nothing. We didn't say anything or do anything to this man other than place the order and return the hot coffee, which was his mistake. The whole atmosphere was uncomfortable, and I will strongly recommend no one visit Old Cup cafe. You will be ripped off, or retaliated against, and you will not enjoy the experience. Places like this need to just go out of business, and I can't imagine they're long for this world with so many better and more affordable spots in Avondale. Head to Southern Grounds and avoid Old Cup at all costs.
