    November's specials
    Nikki C.

    Cups is a cute little cafe nestled into a walkway between the parking lot by the waterfront, and front street. The staff are all friendly and kind people. I love their monthly specials as well. I tend to falter to my usual anywhere else, but this cafe points out their specials with enthusiasm, and they've always been fantastic drinks! I'd highly recommend checking them out!

    Not fully cooked

    Yelp review: Cups espresso in downtown Poulsbo Disappointed. Located next door to Liberty Bay Books in the brick paver alleyway. 3 employees there. Would rather talk to each other than assist with customer service. Front windows and door need a good cleaning. Windex can be a good thing for a store front property. Ordered the waffle for breakfast. Took awhile to make. Employee would not bring me the food which was steps away. Made me go up to the counter. Why did I tip them? The waffle wasn't crispy or fresh tasting. Looked really, really mushy. No fresh fruit for a topping. Asked if the syrup could be warmed up. Was firmly told no. The breve I ordered was delicious so there's that. Cannot recommend this business. Do better.

    First time in. Honestly, was sent by Liberty Books next door. I had purchased over $25 and was told to stop by with proof of receipt. Staff was very friendly. I told them it was my first time in and what they would reccomend. White Mocha Latte! Delicious , not overly sweet- just the right amount you can savor, but not die of thirst after. I will definitely be back to try their other drinks!

    Green Apple Italian Soda & Iced Dirty Chai Latte! Perfect bit of refreshment on a warm afternoon in Poulbo, WA!

    Must stop in for a coffee, ice cream or bite to eat! We'll be back!! P.S. Lemon bars are incredible!

    This little hidden gem is truly a hidden gem. Easily missed, the CUPS coffee shop is between restaurants and shops. It is truly a miss if you overlook this place. This place does not do anything exquisite in terms of coffee but what it does do is it brings a little joy to your soul with everything else. CUPS does not just serve coffee, it serves ice cream and also some small sandwiches too! The staff is extremely helpful and patient willing to go out of their way to help you be fully happy with your beverage/food purchase. The CUPS coffee shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating. If you are indoors, it cute and quaint. If you are outdoors, then you get a fantastic view of the waterfront, marina, shops, and other downtown Poulsbo niceties. Prices are spot on and affordable. Not paying too much or too little for the quality of your drink or food. This place is great to go to if you are just beep bopping around the downtown area of Poulsbo. Since this place is locally owned and operated, I highly suggest going here and supporting a local business.

    Vanilla chai

    Felt bad for the single barista working this morning, but she did great. Wonderful vanilla chai! And with this view, who could complain!

    Chilled place. Great atmosphere with good selection of ice creams + coffee! The surrounding market area has awesome vibe to it. Great place to walk around

    Eggnog Latte -- lovely from start to finish! (warning: you may be tempted to lick the empty cup to get all the goodness!)
    G R.

    Service os KIND, FRIENDLY, & EFFICIENT. This tourist felt right at home on this quaint, yet high-quality coffee shop! My sister & beau just moved here and you can bet they will be back frequently! We came for breakfast: Eggnog Latte is superb, the veggie sandwich was incredible, and the bagel sandwich with bacon and cheese fried egg and cream cheese is incredibly rich and satisfying! (Gluten-free versions are available.) Thank you and trust we will spread the good word about your magnificent coffee shop!

    This is a nice sized espresso Café with a great selection of healthy breakfast items, sandwiches, smoothies, coffee, salads, and sandwiches. Their customer service is excellent! Today was my first time here and I thought this location had açaí smoothie bowls but I was mistaken; that's their Bainbridge Island location. I opted for a smoothie instead and the gal was MORE than helpful with suggestions to help recommend more health options like spinach, flaxseeds etc to my smoothie to accommodate me. I took some of the suggestions. She was great with other guests as well. I'll be back. :)

    I stumbled into this shop while walking around the mean streets of Poulsbo last time I was in Washington. If it weren't for their small chalk sign put up on the street, I might have missed it all together. It's a small operation with some seating inside and out. They also had free wi-fi if you wanted to get a little work done or watch cat videos on your iPad. The baristas were super friendly and I ordered my soy, dirty chai latte. Now, they pull their own shots here- just the way I like it. The chai wasn't so powerful that you couldn't taste the delicious shots (yes, two) of espresso. It was smooth and rich and I think I sucked that thing down in two gulps. They used vanilla chai, which I really like when available. Again, the vanilla wasn't too sweet. Super inexpensive. I got a medium size + a tip and it was only around $5. Because there were two pulled shots, I was tweaked out for the rest of the day. That's how I know I've had a good cup of coffee! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

    Delish!

    This bakery was on every list of recommended places to visit in Poulsbo so I had to check it out. I…read morewas here on a Sunday at 9:45am and there was a short line but it moved quickly. All their baked goods looked amazing. I tried the pecan roll and Viking cup without the cream cheese frosting! Both were excellent and the perfect sweet treat.

    A popular bakery that's highly recommended during any Poulsbo trip. Even people in other buildings…read morearound town recommended this spot. I thought the items we grabbed were excessively sweet. Keeping an open mind that they offer a larger variety of pastries and goods I didn't try but my visit felt just average. While not overly impressed, I can appreciate a solid spot with fresh donuts and pastries managing high traffic. Line tends to be long but moves at a moderate speed, as the employees are open to chatting. Large Butterhorn - excessively sweet to a point where I felt sick of sugar because it's also pretty big. I personally would rather eat a fluffy donut because this felt more like a condensed block of sugar, but seems to be a favorite for others. Might just not be for me. Swedish Almond Pastry - while this was also super sweet, the almond flavor was able to pop out at times. Sliced almonds on top helped sprinkle some extra flavor but were ultimately consumed by the sweetness. A little flakier in texture which helped dissociate with the dense sugar block.
