I tried an iced caramel latte and while very simple, it was actually incredible. The espresso flavor itself came through perfectly and blended with the creamy caramel without being too sweet. They don't have specialty coffees, but I really loved my coffee and I was surprised by how delicious and well crafted it was. I would come back anytime and recommend you try it!

I have spent time in Asheville, where the standard for bread is genuinely high, and this holds its own next to places like Owl Bakery. If you care about bread, go early and go often.

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.

The coffee tasted good but definitely wasn't strong as we both fell asleep fairly quickly after drinking it (thank goodness we had a person in the party that opted out of coffee and wanted to drive first). It had great reviews so maybe it just wasn't a good time?

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

We have been back here multiple times since my last review and owe them a better review…read more We live at the beach so it's a bit of a trip for us but decided to make it over today for lunch. It was a really good experience. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and it was delicious ( forgot to photograph that). I'm a vegetarian and love the fried zucchini sandwich but today's lunch special was a spaghetti squash special and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.

Took mom and iced coffee for my visit again today. This time from @screamingcat.icecream.coffee…read more I got myself the cinnamon toast crunch iced latte and her a cocoa puffs iced latte. Both delicious as can be with just the right amount of sweetness. Mom gets so excited when I visit and have an iced coffee for her and today was a little different. When she couldn't drink anymore (because it was empty) she began ripping her cup open to get all the excess whipped cream and cereal from inside the cup. She's never done that with any of the other coffees I've brought her from other places. So this definitely had me laughing and enjoying our visit today. I even made a little video that will come later on of her giving her "review" of her coffee. Maybe this will turn into a series or something. Who knows? But today was a great visit with lots of smiles and laughs.

I ended up ordering their most popular flavor the Dreamcatcher and it was perfect! It was not as sweet as you think it would be. It was a great balance of caramel & vanilla mixed with coffee.

For a place that almost only serves drinks, their drinks were really underwhelming. I cannot speak…read moreon the wines, but i tried both the matcha & the chai latte and they were both just okay. The chai specifically was made from the generic tazo concentrate served in every chain coffee shop. The ambiance of the store was very nice tho. I loved the plants draped all around & the fact that they were for sale. Lastly, I also wish there was better seating there was one couch but otherwise you're stuck with hard plastic chairs and tables inside. The space is not good for lounging for an extended period of time.

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!

There…read morewasn't a soul inside other than the older man at the counter, who may be the owner or manager. 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.
