I have breakfast there every Friday with my CFO and while the food is good, the best reason for going are Carol and Donna. Carol has more energy than people half her age and Donna is wonderful. Without them, it's just food. Rich C read more

Great Breakfast- omelets Fresh and Coffee was great! Service was excellent and place was clean!

I regularly eat here and their service is amazing, the staff are friendly and happy along with fast service and up to date technology. It's usually busy here and crowded but good vibes. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. Their specials are always a hit and very good and unique. AMAZING small business, it's always clean here and child friendly. I've even seen special education students come and help out with stocking and small tasks during the week and it's just a great place to support. read more

Great little diner in the heart of Lake Zurich, right on Main Street, that will trump your kitchen anytime! Food is delicious, service is above par and the ambience makes you feel like you're in grandma's kitchen. Don't miss this little gem! read more

Very fast, very friendly, the food is great. Super clean. Waitresses were very attentive.

If you are hungry and don't have patience to wait avoid this place. They took literally 50 min to bring 1 order of scrambled eggs and 1 order of turkey sausage. There is only 1 old lady serving and she looks very stressed and in a rush. The nice man from the kitchen were trying to help. I don't have a desire to come back here again read more

Best Irish omelet and quiche! Service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Koffee Kup has all your diner style favorites for breakfast and lunch. In addition to koffee, they also offer tea and fountain drinks. We stopped by for some lunch and left satisfied and full. I had a mushroom Swiss burger which was nicely cooked and very filling. I'd get it again! Service was really friendly and nice. - Kid's menu available - Open since 1978 - Remember to check in for 10% off! read more

I have been going here for years (I work in LZ) and food is great, service is great and nice ambiance. I have not ever had any problems.

Enjoyed a nice lunch here. Our waitress was very sweet and the food was tasty. Hope to be back soon.

Gross. I know some people really love this restaurant but I've never returned after visiting some years back. The eggs tasted like powder. Terrible coffee. The waitress was in a serious hurry. It's very small and uninviting to me. Sad .. but true. read more

Fabulous local diner in downtown Lake Zurich. They only serve breakfast and lunch and close at 3 pm. Smaller diner and it's always busy but have never waited for a table. Seems like a few locals hang out here. It looks like of the original restaurants in downtown Lake Zurich. The waitresses are amazing, fast and efficient. The food is outstanding! Everything is homemade. My boyfriend had the biscuits and gravy and though that's not my favorite breakfast meal it was superb! The biscuits were tender and fluffy. The gravy was smooth and creamy yet not too heavy. You have to get one of their cinnamon rolls. Again they are homemade and delicious! You have an option of glazed or cream frosted. Our favorite was the cream cheese frosting. Definitely a thick coating of frosting on a delicious, homemade cinnamon roll. They do serve them warm if you choose to eat here. We took ours home as we were too full from our breakfast. Highly recommend! read more

Cute neighborhood breakfast and lunch place. They aren't huge portions but are reasonable. Rather est less and pay less. Stuffed green pepper soup was really good. It had Italian sausage and a tomato soup base with rice. read more

Love the food and atmosphere. They recently gave the dining room an excellent decor refresh! It really adds to the experience. The staff is wonderful too!! read more

I would give 5 stars but my sister wasn't happy with the gravy on the country fried steak. I had the Sheila's scramble which was absolutely delicious. The coffee is excellent, too. Nice ambiance. Very pleasant. I will be back. read more

Sometimes I just want some classic brunch food in a cozy diner! This one fits the bill. They were a little short staffed when I went on a Saturday morning, but I am not opposed to waiting a little for coffee while enjoying brunch vibes. I enjoyed the quiche, which comes with fruit and lemon cake. The lemon cake was on the sweeter side for my taste, but the quiche was delicious and the fruit was surprisingly fresh! We also had the banana french toast which was light and fluffy. The portions and prices were reasonable. read more

Really wanted to like this joint because it's in a great location and looks like an old fashioned diner. Problem one is food is just not very good skillets not even on menu and they will not make them. Corned beef omelette was made with very low quality corned beef . Portions are on the small side and prices are on the high side. read more

Ive been there twice now. 1st time, 5 stars. 2nd time I ordered, biscuits and gravy. Very disappointed. The gravy was near watery and didn't have a single pork breakfast sausage crumble in the gravy. The biscuits were pretty flat too. I put the plate to the side. I'd only had 1/2 of a split biscuit. The wait staff asked if there was a problem. I mentioned the disappointment. She took the item off my bill, which was nice but not sure how they make biscuits and gravy without any breakfast pork sausage. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning around 9am and got seated immediately. The inside is cute and the service was quick. We got the Ciabatta sandwich and the scramble (with the eggs on top + an extra egg). The ciabatta sandwich was not great, I personally didn't like how they cooked the spinach. The scramble was a small portion. The best part was the fruit on the side. And my partner claims that "the bacon was good". read more

I'll start by saying that the service here was amazing. The waitress was extremely friendly and did a great job. The atmosphere is really cool. Small place but holds a good amount of people comfortably. The food was also pretty solid. My wife got the breakfast BLT and enjoyed it. Only downside was there wasn't a lot of bacon on the sandwich. Usually on a BLT the bacon is the show. However, the waitress got my wife some more bacon and was extremely nice about it. My meal (forgot the name) was pretty good. The hash browns were very good and had great flavor. I will also say the coffee was pretty good as well. All in a good experience and I would recommend this place to anyone that is in the area. We will definitely be coming back. read more

The last time we visited, we were sorely disappointed. This place must have been hit especially hard by the "supply chain issues" during the pandemic, because the quality of their food had significantly decreased. The pancakes were rubbery and tasted more like chemicals than real food, the eggs were runny, and the coffee was just plain horrible. Besides that, they refused to accommodate my mother's red meat intolerance. (Anytime she eats bacon or beef, it creates serious digestive problems for her.) Instead, they tried to pass off regular bacon as turkey bacon (the smell gave it away), then got angry when we called them out on it. Serving low-quality food and being rude to their patrons is bad enough, but disregarding customers' food sensitivities? That's unacceptable. What would they do if someone came in who had a peanut allergy, or Celiac disease, or IBS? Just shrug their shoulders and say, "Whatever, it's not our problem"? Obviously, we have not gone back since. read more

Delicious local breakfast spot. Lots of choices. Friendly service and food comes out nice and quick (which is a plus when you have a baby). Stroller friendly and a nice small patio with tables. read more

Wonderful breakfast. Potatoes are the way I like them. Waitress was so friendly, sociable, and accommodating. Definitely will be going back.

The local stand by and long tenured staff. It has been awhile since I made it over there but great food.

Interestingly a place called Koffee Kip only serves black coffee (cream and sugar). There was a nice selection of food. The restaurant was busy. The waitress stacked plates so the bottom of a plate was touching the food on the plate below. Yuck! I think the name is misleading and I think the use of a tray would solve their serving problem. read more

Nice local neighborhood place to get coffee and brunch. All the basics breakfast food items are done very well. The bacon is crispy, hash browns have great texture and the eggs are cooked well. They have homemade pie. Tried the blueberry pie. Filling had actual blueberries and the crust was buttery and flaky. Would come back if we are in the neighborhood. read more

You know their breakfast was good to very good. The portion size at this time in my life was big enough that I took home around a third of my meat lovers omelette. Very friendly servers and the coffee cup was always full. It's a nice little diner in the middle of town and would probably be my pick for breakfast if I lived there but I don't. The thing that keeps me from giving four stars is they charged me fifty cents to put onions in my hash browns. Like I said in the pic I just think that's chicken sh*t. I almost always get onions in my taters and have never had an up charge for that, plus there was maybe a tablespoon in there. As they say on the sports channels. Come on Man!!! read more

I really enjoyed this place, this is your hometown diner with a really cozy feel. We had the pleasure of having Carol as our waitress,she has been there from the beginning. She is so sweet and kind! I ordered a standard breakfast and it was good in the fact that it was consistent with all breakfast food. I will say that when you are given the option for toast that you should go with the raisin toast. It is soooo good! I will definitely go back! read more

Ya know, we've been looking for a place like this. Something about it is just familiar and comfortable. A friendly welcome, food you can count on, and endless coffee refills. Come as you are with no rush to leave. The waitress who knows exactly how many times she needs to check in and nails your order every time (Carrie is fantastic, by the way!). Exactly what we needed this morning. 2021 is already looking up! read more

Don't know where to start with this incredible establishment, the service, the people, the atmosphere, all deserve 10 stars if it was an option. This is the classic old school American diner and the only complaint I have with it is that there aren't more locations. The country fried steak, garbage potatoes, and over easy eggs are better than what my grandma used to make (don't tell my nana that) Can't go wrong with anything on the menu but I always find myself coming back to that country fried steak. 40 years in business and can't wait for 40 more read more

Great service, hometown staple of downtown LZ! There is zero misses on their menu, you won't be disappointed t anything! Owners and staff are amazing! read more

Super cute place. Very good coffee, cinnamon rolls, and omelettes. Service was very friendly.

This little coffee shop has been a staple in downtown Lake Zurich for as along as I can remember, but I only just started eating here a couple years ago. It is your classic "old time" diner that serves yummy breakfast and lunch, and whatever time you go, you are likely to see a familiar face whether it be there long time staff or regular customers. It is a bit on the smaller side so if you go for breakfast on a weekend, there may be a bit of a wait. They have a nice menu with all the classics you would expect and while I always enjoy my food, I wouldn't stay it is the best breakfast I've ever had. The staff is always friendly, hard working and takes good care of their customers! read more

Service was prompt and attentive, food was delicious. Location is perfect in the heart of Lake Zurich. Good place for brunch and coffee

Really solid food, friendly servers despite being short-staffed. They also had hand sanitizer on every table, which I thought was a great way to help keep things safe and sanitized! I very rarely eat in restaurants anymore, but I felt very safe eating here. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are looking for a nice homey old-school diner type place! read more

Arrived same time as another couple. We sat down and eventually got to order coffee. ( Not from the waitress)Waitress took order of the initial table that sat down when we did- which is understandable. Another party of 3 entered and sat down. The waitress then preceded to wait on THAT table. Never really made it to our table as we had waited long enough.( Was on her phone between taking orders) I went to the register to pay for our coffee and told them the service was terrible - the attending waitress offered an apology. This is a either a training issue or lack of poor judgement. In either case it is not worth my time when so many more great breakfast places are available in this immediate area.. so I cannot recommend. read more

If you haven't been to the Kup lately, you are in for a treat!! The beautifully remodel somehow managed to capture the quaint downtown diner vibe with a modern up to date flair!

Cute spot for coffee and breakfast. Their quiche and sweet roll were very tasty and the service was excellent. Would've given more stars, but my partner ordered the country fried steak and was served breaded pork in an oddly sweet country gravy. Nowhere in the menu description did it state that the "steak" was actually pork. We found out after the fact when we asked the waitress what kind of meat it was, since it didn't look like steak or chicken. This needs to be fixed. read more
