Just exactly as I remembered it from nearly 40 years ago. Great food, friendly people and a nice place. This has to be my favorite breakfast stop in Hamilton. We travel a lot and we will look forward to eating here again. read more

We ate at Coffee Cup Cafe at a recommendation of a local. The service was okay, but the food was barely edible. We were so hungry we ate part of it, but I would not recommend this restaurant and would honestly prefer to eat at McDonald's. We had a variety of choices at our table; breakfast, burgers and one dinner plate. All of our food was stone cold. I ordered an omelet and it was so cold the cheese sprinkled on top had already started to harden. I would not recommend. read more

The food is really good, local cafe -type, but if they don't recognize you, they forget you!! Truly, I sat at their bar and the waitresses waited on people who came in after me and sat next to me and the waitresses wouldn't even look at me!!! They don't wait on me- I don't go! read more

First off, the name through me off a bit. I was looking for a coffee shop and thought this was one. WRONG. Not even close. This restaurant is quite large. Family style restaurant. Slightly outdated. We were seated promptly. I quickly found out that there was only one coffee available here. A Hot cup of coffee. Which was fine. I ordered it. It was almost like drinking water ran through few coffee grounds. Very watered down. The waitress was kind even bringing me vanilla syrup for it. Unfortuantly, that made it more like syrup water with cream. My husband ordered a burger. It wasn't quite cooked as much as he prefers but he ate it. I was very impressed with the unstuffed pepper soup. It was the best thing there I think. (Ordered per the recommendation of the waitress) The Ceasar salad threw me off. It was more of a chefs salad/house salad with ceasar dressing. It was a bit odd to me. Never had tomatoes or cucumbers in my ceasar salad. The chicken had a weird taste too making it hard to eat. Our waitress was great, the prices were reasonable. It was alright but not the greatest. I would come back for more soup if I were around town again. read more

First time visit, nice local restaurant, friendly staff and clean space. The pancakes were good, the salad was fresh and the Reuben sandwich was tasty. Fries were a little dark and could have been crisper. Definitely would go again. read more

Great food, great service, great people. Classic small town breakfast/lunch/dinner experience.

My favorite place to eat in Hamilton Montana. I have never had a bad meal there....breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Just started going to The Coffee Cup for breakfast. Food is very good......plenty of coffee and friendly staff. Prices are reasonable and portions are huge. Give it a try read more

Went to restaurant for desert,on Sat. Night. It took a few minutes for wait staff to bring us menus. We ordered pie. When it was brought to us we had no silverware, the waitress left so fast I didn't even get to ask for silverware. I got my own silverware from another table. Terrible service read more

Hire a new morning staff perhaps....I was humiliated and deeply embarrassed by the horrible serving staff at this establishment Coffee Cup Cafe. Saturday May 30 2026 10:34 a.m. Two female servers who work here day shift are extremely rude and disrespectfuI. I am 67 years old and I received the worst treatment I've ever had in my life today. I have been in this place a few times and I have paid 22% in tips to the undeserving, dark haired, unfriendly looking female server that normally works the counter... who is also the slowest laziest server in the house.. leaves hot food sitting in the window for the longest time. The last time I was there, I had to get the host person to politely refill my coffee twice because the the dark-haired, very rude counter female server I guess just couldn't walk that far. This rude server waited on me several times but today Saturday May 30th 2026 she and the, blonde female server treated me like absolute crap. The blonde haired server Is just completely unfriendly, scowls and always seems to be in a bad mood. I have not seen a smile on this server's face ever. Today, they teamed up and decided to humiliate me in front of a crowded restaurant of people and the entire counter was filled with people observing this interaction. I think they should re think being in the service business. They both treated me horriblly. I asked the blonde haired server, who was at the cash register when I walked, in if I could sit at a booth as the counter was completely full. The place was packed. I was told by the blonde haired server I could sit at any available place. I sat at a booth that was clean, it had placemats on it. The dark-haired female counter server wasn't observant enough to look over the table and see that it was clean and had placemats but she just didn't want to wait on me and kept screaming you can't sit there ...you cant you sit there. I had even pulled the sugar container over toward the placemat where I was sitting getting ready to have a cup of coffee. She should have known who I was instead of saying hello, she yelled at me several times and told me I couldn't sit there, it was a dirty table when actually it wasn't. She did not bother to listen to me nor did the blonde server who told me I could sit anywhere available. I did not pick a dirty table. This was absolutely rude and disrespectful. After this interaction, the blonde server told me I could leave as if I did something wrong. I went to who looked to be the hostess and asked to speak to the owner. Sadly, she told me the owner had left and was not available to speak with me. read more

Our family went for dinner and ordered there Hamburger special plates. The quantity and quality of the food was awesome. I had enough leftover to take home and have another meal the next day for lunch. By comparison, we had stopped in another town for lunch and spent $37 for two of us and for all three of us at the Cafe we spent only $57. Which was amazing considering the difference in quality and quantity. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants the best overall food for the value and exceptional quality. read more

Local cafe my family and I stopped at here for breakfast on our way to Missoula from Darby. It's in Hamilton. It has old towney vibes which is sentimental, feels like I went back in time with the place mats being local business ads. They have a big menu, lots of options like your typical diner and do breakfast all day which is nice. I got 2 eggs over hard with bacon, hash browns, and a blueberry muffin. It was all delicious! My husband got the bacon omelette with hash browns and white toast. My stepdaughter got the 2 chocolate chip pancakes but they were really BIG! I definitely recommend getting just 1 for kids. Overall, food was yummy and our waitress was friendly. Good place to go with the family. read more

The Coffee Cup Cafe hits all the right notes, warm, friendly service, fast turnaround, and food that's flat-out delicious. It's the kind of place that feels easy the moment you walk in and leaves you glad you stopped. Definitely worth the visit. read more

My first time visiting A few days ago went I to order to go. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The food was exactly what my mom wanted so fresh and homemade. Went today I was excited to bring in my mom and daughter and we were greeted very rudely like we a burden . I almost left. We don't expect much but not feeling welcomed. Ignored and not treated kindly at all. I never leave bad reviews. Maybe we were there at the wrong time of day and others were having a hard day. The food is still homemade and done well especially the pies my mom loves. I want to like it but don't recommend. The servers ruined it. read more

My wife and I are in town visiting family and stopped by. They were packed because of a local farmers market down the street. Despite the crowd we were in and out in under 30 minutes. Food and service were great. Will be back again next time we are in town. The boysenberry syrup was rocking my socks. I would add a picture but I scarfed my food down too quickly. read more

Food was very good, large servings. Busy place. Service was mediocre at best. Not bad but slow and not attentive.

Poor service and expensive. Today we waited for 20 minutes and didn't even get water, cup of coffee or a menu. Very disappointed.

Recommend by a local coworker. Great breakfast and an old school charm. Very recommended. The home fried potatoes were delicious and staff very friendly. read more

I don't have a review for the food I'm sure it's good but the 1 star is for the disrespectful, horrible service given by one very rude bitter woman with brunette hair. Maybe they're short staffed and the woman was overwhelmed but the way she spoke to my group was the worst. I hope the manager, owner, or even her reads this review and changes this.. because it drove off 6 very good, respectful customers that will never be coming back. read more

Food was good, but waaaay overpriced. I had 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 parties of sausage, and my wife had a half a Rueben. Water to drink. It was $29 before tips. Breakfast is my favorite meal. But this place, while good, did not knock our socks off. Really not worth the price. read more

Nice selection on the menu and daily specials. Visited on July 9th slightly before lunch time. Was busy but service was good and food was great. Prices more reasonable than most restaurants these days. Atmosphere was friendly and there were numerous people that were obviously 'regulars'. Very homey and charming. Definitely will visit when going thru Hamilton again. read more

We were there when the Apple Festival was going on so it was really busy. Food and service was really good as usual. We sat at the counter & watched the staff dance around each other & it was amazing to watch! My husband had a hankering for an apple pie & he bought a full pie....not my favorite pie either so I wasn't very happy....we also talked to the delightful baker as she was filling the baked goods case. We got home...warmed up the pie with some ice cream and the pie was AMAZING! I'm A convert but only for the Dutch apple pie at the Coffee Cup! It's the only Place we eat when we are in Hamilton read more

Great place girls are awesome food is good best drip coffee opens early closes late open everyday every holiday and wonderful antiques

Food is usually pretty good. I've noticed the portions have gotten smaller and the prices higher..

Last night we stopped in for dinner, a place we have always loved. Cheryl and her team always do a great job. Sometimes the team members changes but never the quality of service of food. I'd suggest a particular food item but it's all good. Thank you, again, for a wonderful meal after a very long week. Pics of our choices last night included. read more

Local dinner vibe - busy with locals On the Main Street of the town They can be crazy busy and but they still remain friendly Portions are big so leftovers or just power through it and feel stuffed I had a burger one meal and breakfast on another The food was filling average to slightly above - The cinnamon bun was very fresh big and tasty The pies slices are another hit big selection No pictures this round for me read more

This "Food" is TERRIBLE!!! I would not recommend eating here unless you would like to get sick, and have disgusting food! I ordered a side of bacon, and it was BURNT really bad! And they take SO LONG to take your order and get your food out! Do not eat here! There so many other places that are ACTUALLY good! read more

Food is served hot and place is always busy for a reason. Good food, good service, reasonable prices. Give it a try.

You definitely don't go there for the service. Breakfast is okay but don't bother with anything else. Fish and chips were all batter, cole slaw tasted like vinegar, mashed potatoes were cold. Not worth the time and money ... don't bother read more

The service is amazing here. I really enjoyed my turkey dinner. The atmosphere even better.

I never write bad reviews for businesses, I believe if you didn't enjoy the experience then just move on. But this review felt necessary to write because I've never had the most horrible and demeaning service anywhere until this restaurant. This truly was one for the books. It's a shame we ( party of 5 )came in the night before, around 8pm, restaurant was dead but our waitress was amazing and laughed with us the whole night. We returned the following morning and you could tell our other waitress had a snippy attitude. Nothing to ruin your morning over, just had to make sure you were extra polite to her in case she felt like not topping off your coffee or checking on you. The food was actually pretty good but unfortunately my granddad (90 year ) had a complaint about the hash browns and wanted them remade. Our waitress, ill-mannered, yelled " what do you want me to do? You need to tell me what's wrong about them" She caused a scene in the whole restaurant. When she returned to drop off check, my grandpa made a remark about her attitude and she replied " I don't care, you're not my boss. Bye!" We could see her snickering about it with her co workers who kept looking at us. Eyes were on our table, it was so humiliating. My kids were making remarks about how the waitress was scary. My husband and I looked at each other in such disbelief. We travel and have eaten at countless restaurants and never have had such abhorrent service. To top it off, some locals made some remarks about us on the way out the door which my husband told me to grab the kids and wait in the car. This restaurant absolutely hates tourists and they make it very known at your expense. There are many great places to eat in Hamilton, but please save yourself the trouble from eating at this one. read more

Absolutely no taste. I had a ham and fried egg sandwich. It had one piece of ham on it, about as thick as a piece of paper. I didn't think they were able to cut it that thin. I had a salad with blue cheese dressing. I didn't think it was possible to have blue cheese dressing with no taste. Discusting experience. One side of my sandwich was like a sponge it was so sopped. I could not eat my dinner. I will never return the this place they call a cafe. read more

Horrible service at the Coffee Cup. Came here with a friend to do some homework and eat a little snack. Cafe was empty except for about two other families. We were disrespected from the moment we set foot in there. Waitress was snappy and short tempered and did not even maintain eye contact. Said they don't do wifi here but had at least 5 Wi-Fi's with the name CCup and snapped when we asked. Not a great experience and I would recommend any other cafe in Hamilton but this one. read more

Great selection of food to order. Anyone can find a favorite dish. Mine is the chicken cashew salad. So well put together and perfect when looking for a nutritionally balanced diet. And yes, their home-baked goodies are delicious too. LS read more

Worst dinner meal, how do you make dressing that is tri-colored. I did not know what it was until I tasted it and all I could taste was sage. I ordered pork roast but not sure what the meat was. The only thing legit was mashed potatoes but the beets were right out of the can. My husband ordered chicken fried steak and it was frozen, probably from a Food Service business, and thrown in deep fryer. I wish someone would sue them for their sign which states, Home Cooking. Breakfast might be good but our dinner was horrible and the waitress did take half off our bill but she never came over and asked if our food was ok after she served it. How do you make dressing tri colored???? read more

The breakfast my family had was wonderful, there were 6 of us on Labor Day. The place was extremely busy and under control . The wait to be seated was not long about 5 minutes , the very nice lady at the front told us 10-15 minutes , and she even came by with coffee and to check on us personally. Our waitress Brenda was wonderful . The kids pancakes were a big hit with my 2 and 4 years olds. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

Service was the worst - server seemed genuinely offended that she had to wait on us. It was a disappointment because we (party of 2) were looking forward to eating here and didn't expect what came next...but... I'm white and as country as they come, but my guest is Filipino and it was obvious even to ME what her real problem was. Some old woman then came from the kitchen and pretended to need something just so she could come out and get a good look at the non-white guy. I can roll with the punches, but yall made my friend feel bad about his day. Yall have nerve putting all that stuff about Jesus Christ everywhere on those walls because yall behave like godless Democrats. We didn't mean to interrupt the Klan meeting, ladies. The food was actually pretty good (assuming no one spit in it), but I watched another server cut a piece of pie for someone else with her right hand, while she held the top dead center of the pie steady with her left hand. Then she transferred the pie piece to a small plate with a pie server and her sticky fingers. I'm not just throwing that in here for dramatic effect, either. The problem here isn't "out of towners", "city folk", "Hollywood types", or any of that other bs some of these other reviews suggest. This is an unspoken "whites only" establishment, period. Let's just call a spade a spade. So if you like your burger with a side of old-fashioned ignorance (or the flu), then stop in and these mouth breathers will begrudgingly accommodate you. Otherwise, eat somewhere else. read more

PROS: Decent food, large portion, large selection on the menu, open late, good service, plenty parking space CONS: Food can be better, it's decent, but it has room for improvement. I had the fried chicken dinner which came with a simple salad, daily soup, dinner roll, potato, and the friend chicken. Everything was okay, but the chicken was a little bit too salty and on the dry side. read more
