This place is so retro. I like it here. I can't see me coming back again to try a different wrap. The owner is nice. She greeted me and even helped me picked my cheese. The love hipper vibes in here. read more

Waited 30 min for three mediocre sandwiches. And a hand filled plastic sandwich bag of chips. $13 for each and couldn't even get a real bag of chips. read more

Such a nice surprise- fresh vegan options made with cheer in Indiana! A gem to find on our road trip, when it can be hard to get away from the truck stops of fast food. Laura the owner was absolutely delightful. Fruit and Veggies were fresh. Chai was delicious. Art and little touches were captivating read more

I visited Chesterton this weekend to meet up with some friends who live in Chicago. I arrived a little early and had some time to kill before I could check into the Airbnb, so I popped into downtown Chesterton for some tea. The town is small, but super charming. I wish I would have had more time to walk around the town. Even the customers sitting outside said hi to me as I walked in, the friendly Midwest vibes were real. The inside is charming and sufficiently spaced out for social distancing. I approached the counter in the back of the shop and ordered and iced chai tea latte. The staff were super friendly and quickly rang me up. There was plastic separating the staff from the customers. The iced chai was delicious. I also used the wifi while I was there which worked even as I sat at a table in front of the coffee shop. If I lived around here, I would work from that table all the time! Near Chesterton and need coffee? This is your spot. read more

Red Cup Cafe & Deli - Delis Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Such a cute spot for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. We stopped to grab some coffee before hiking. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the most incredible smell of muffins in the oven. Everything in the party display looked incredible and was homemade. We were only bummed that we didn't come hungry! The menu was super tempting too. Drip coffee was full of flavor and the Americano was perfect read more

Love this place so much!! They made the most delicious Reuben sandwiches on GF bread that we were able to order ahead for our drive. The service was excellent, the employee who took my order over the phone was very helpful and knowledgeable about food allergies; they are gluten friendly not dedicated GF. The person at the counter who I believe is the owner or manager was so friendly too. The ambiance is clean, warm and welcoming to all. Hope we pass through and can stop in again! read more

Coffee was good, but not great. The people working (including who I believe was the owner) just kind of stared at me while I was standing there waiting to order. It was weird. Good atmosphere and even good for kids with the section of toys they have. (I carried out.) read more

Summer update: try their summer specials! The beach wave (honey, vanilla, sea salt latte) is hitting the spot so hard. read more

Red Cup Cafe & Deli - Delis Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Came in today and they were slammed. The owner Laura graciously let me know that they were backed up. The young lady who took my order, did so with a smile and told me about the delay. I sat down and enjoyed conversation with an older retired gentleman and the owner joined us. My Americano was spot on on this very cold day. When my egg, bacon, and cheese arrived, it was piping hot, with a smile from the multi-colored hair lady. The sandwich was delicious and the fruit delicious. I really like this place read more

Good coffee! Great staff! Yummy pastries!!! Lots of interesting things to enjoy - what else needs to be said? read more

I was in the area at the European Market. As I had not had brunch, I decided to try this place. Walking in I got a cool vibe about the place...and I noted they had a nice selection of drinks (hot and cold) and food itself. I noticed they had egg frittatas so decided to get one. Unfortunately the one I wanted with mushrooms was unavailable so decided on a Denver Fritatta. I also got a cold brew (Americano) coffee with that. When I eventually got my meal (took a little longer than I expected after going up there a couple of times to see where it was), it was not too bad...the eggs were nestled on top of a bed of spinach and some bread on the side along with fruit. The cold brew coffee was also pretty good with some cream and Splenda. All in all this was a nice visit....I'll be back again to try one of their sandwiches or perhaps a nice hot coffee drink and pastry in the fall when the weather cools off. read more

What a sweet coffee shop in such a sweet town!! We arrived at 8:45 and thought we'd walk around a bit before they opened, but the owner was walking in when we pulled up, and invited us in! I had an iced dirty chai with soy milk and a shot of hazelnut flavor - the best drink I've had in a long time. The spinach quiche was amazing as well. My daughter got a peach muffin which was really good. I love the vibe of this place, as well. Great music, awesome people. If we come back through Chesterton I'll definitely be back! read more

Service was great! Quickly took our order and had our coffee out within 5 minutes. The lemon muffin with blueberry icing is to die for... so good! I ordered an iced dirty chai and you can tell the espresso they use is a good one. Would definitely come back when I'm back in town! read more

what a gem. thanks to Yelp- found this cute shop on my way to the cowles bog trailhead. grabbed a tuna melt to enjoy at my beach destination and could not have been happier. SO good. couple that with great staff who were happy to answer some of my questions regarding the area and i couldn't have picked a better place! read more

Great sandwiches - we had grilled cheese and grilled portobello mushroom and goat cheese. Both were very good.

Hit Red Cup while riding the Oak Savannah/Prairie Duneland trails. Only a few blocks off the trail. Attempted to order the tuna salad sandwich bit they were out of tuna. No prob. The chicken salad sandwich hot the spot. Cool Place. read more

This is a cool, eclectic spot for grabbing coffee in downtown Chesterton. While my friend and I ordered ours to-go, we definitely would have felt right at home had we plopped a squat and played a board game as we enjoyed our hot brews. You can tell this is a favorite spot among locals. read more

Red Cup Cafe & Deli - Delis Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

We randomly came across this cafe in a Google search for cafes near Indiana Dunes State Park, where we had camped the night before. Just needed a spot to plug in for some office time and we were immediately floored. The management here is superb. We travel the country a LOT and some mornings are rougher than others...this particular one we wanted to grab a bite and hit the road again, and after some small talk, a sword swallowing display later, and some well wishes--we were given some baked goods, some amazing food, and had a wonderful time. :D Tinderbox Circus Sideshow approved! See ya down the road, Red Cup! Stay awesome! read more

I think it's overpriced for self-serve. Old hardware store or pharmacy. Nice old gnarled floor. Not enchanted enough for regular visits.

One of my all time favorites, don't make the mistake of passing this one by. If you are Kind, not looking for the pre-made out the door sandwich then stop on in. This is REAL food, and if by some chance you like made fresh daily every morning Muffins (nice variety). Then you may be in for it. Northwest Indiana's Premier Cafe and Coffee !! Recommendations would Include: Chicken Pesto, Smoked Turkey Bacon, any of the Best Damn Egg Sandwiches, just to name a few. read more

Coffee was delicious. I also ordered an egg sandwich which was made with love by the lady with the colorful hair. She even added in pears. Thank you!!! read more

Just parked at front will go try here. Cool setting in old downtown area. Really nicely retained old inside also. I really like. Lovely boss lady actually refused payment for my excellent honey 6 shot Americano. Nice and most unexpected. Thank you Dear. And oh by the way, this is by far the best one I've had the past couple of days. And I been around. read more

Great humans beings at Red Cup. I love the vibe of the shop, love stopping for a cup of coffee and a sandwich whenever I can.

I generally work from home, which means tons of frequent distractions. My adorable Rottweiler is barking all day, or the closets need to be cleaned out pronto, or I just HAVE to take a nap, or Law & Order is on...again. If I can't focus at home, I venture out to a locally owned coffee shop or restaurant to get some serious work done. Today I grabbed the laptop and went to Red Cup Cafe & Deli in Chesterton. I will definitely be back for a relaxing brunch with the hubs very soon. Here's why: The Red Cup serves Metropolis Coffee. If you're from Chicago, you know what I mean. Smooth and delicious! They have breakfast specials, a brunch menu, and lots of hot and cold sammies. The baked goods look totally decadent. If I enjoyed sweets, I'd probably try one of each. There's tons of free street parking on both sides of the street in front of the cafe. I'm sure it's difficult to find an open space on any given summer Saturday when the European Market is in full force, but it's no problem on a Thursday afternoon. The atmosphere is quirky and cozy, with lots of mix-and-match furniture including a few high-top tables and stools, couches and overstuffed chairs, and even a large dining room style table that seats eight. Great for groups, couples, and singles alike. The completely random musical selection is probably my favorite thing about the Red Cup. I've been here for an hour and have heard smooth '70s soul, synth-pop, ragtime and old-timey jazz, Wilco, Alabama Shakes, Modest Mouse, and Joy Division. The variety is truly impressive. Who knows what I'll hear next? Ella Fitzgerald? Hank Williams, Sr? Stevie Nicks? Kraftwerk? The servers and baristas know what they're doing and will patiently answer questions about the menu. In other words, you don't have to be a regular to feel comfortable. Both the self-serve condiment area and the unisex bathroom are clean and tidy. There are a few tables on the shady sidewalk our front and free wifi. I love this place. read more

Every local person I've met had time me I *had* to eat at the Red Cup. In a downtown filled with great locally-owned/operated dining establishments, this is the one place everything agreed is a winner. Be ready: the setting is wonderfully eclectic. There are a few tables likely salvaged from local yard sales along with several overstuffed chairs and a couple of couches that obviously required done creative repairs before they re usable. What's on the menu? Specials are posted at the end of the cooler, sandwiches and stuff are on the chalkboard on the wall, and drink options are on another chalkboard rescued from child's playroom. I enjoyed a turkey and bacon panini on eight-grain bread. Wonderfully delicious. This is the kind of place you want to come and stay a while and I'm surprised to be here at noon and not find the place packed. But then, there are a half-dozen options all within a block of each other. The Red Cup is a gem, though. The locals know their stuff. read more

Love the food and atmosphere. Wished I lived closer. I would eat there everyday. I had a turkey sandwich with a balsamic vinegar dressing salad. Perfect!!! read more

LOVE this place! Great coffee and pastries, and the sandwiches are yummy! The service is great.

A great, friendly atmosphere. The locals hit up this spot for coffee and muffins at breakfast. During lunch, Red Cup serves up great hot sandwiches and soups.

Fabulous food, wonderful community. Homemade pies, quiches, homemade everything! Great chicken salad!

This place trumps every coffee shop I've ever been. Extremely reasonable prices for an outstanding atmosphere and delicious coffee options. The cherry on top: the shelves are pumped with an endless stream of baked goods to compliment your drink! read more

They take a lot of pride in what they're doing here. I come here to work, have coffee, and sometimes eat lunch. The lattes are super yummy, and the Corned Beef & Kraut sandwich on rye is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Seriously delicious! You won't regret it. Also, the Raspberry and Lemon Muffin they make is a great treat :) read more
