Great little place to get breakfast decent coffee, good prices and a nice unique item with the breakfast skillets (which I recommend). They also have "mini" breakfast which are just smaller servings which my girlfriend enjoyed when she didn't want to be bogged down by a heavy breakfast. read more

The Coffee Cup Cafe - Meat Lover's Skillet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Go to place after a hike up the reservoir. Always busy, but fast service and good food. Portions can be rather large, so you can share things like pancakes...etc. read more

Food's good. Large portions. However, the service is lacking. Our waitress took our order and brought our check. Period. We couldn't get her attention for coffee, creamer, to-go box, etc. Someone else brought our food to us and we grabbed cream off another table. Finally, we helped ourselves to coffee off the pot. She seemed to be intentionally avoiding us, in case we actually needed something! Second time there... Same experience. I'm afraid we won't be back. Too frustrating. read more

Girlfriend and I come here often for breakfast. Always good service and food. Definitely recommend.

Had the scrambler, my eggs were supposed to be scrambled and cooked not raw with egg shells. It is overpriced but unfortunately it's one of the few places that offer breakfast plates. I am not sure how this place is making it. The cooks don't seem that clean, I noticed one w/o proper gloves. The place needs to have a major lift in decor, it seems and smells stale. read more

Don't waste your time or money... Food was horrible and the service was even worse...Took 45min to get our food...Would have been better off with a bowl of Cheerios!!! read more

This place is super cute!! I wish I knew about it sooner. The food was delicious and they carry a wide variety of food options. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. It's my new favorite breakfast spot read more

This place was a disappointment. A friend recommended it for breakfast. The carpet was really dirty and the food was average at best. My wife didn't like the coffee or the fact that they didn't have any muffins or pastry at all. Only toast. It is not cheap either. Service was OK. read more

Nice little quaint eatery. Service was pretty much seat yourself. Went to the table we were directed to, that was dirty. Asked the waiter if he could wipe it down, he replied uh ok. Like it was an option to eat on a clean table.... I said please and thank you with every request. Then as service went along he opened up a bit. All in all a ok place to eat to fill the empty spot. read more

LOVE the corn beef and hash and the potatoes. Prices have gone up since I was there last (one breakfast and coffee + tip $17 ). Service was inconsistent but the relaxed atmosphere and yummy food still make this a great place for breakfast. read more

We really, really wanted to love this place. We have been twice and the first time the food was ok but it was unbelievably slow coming out and then parts of the meal didn't make it out. We were given 2 free meals to use at a later time which we redeemed today. Our server today was great but the kitchen left off items specifically requested and though both burgers were asked to be medium well, one was very rare. We had to send it back because the cheese wasn't on it, and then when it came back out we noticed how raw it was. The jalapeños were left off mine. They gave us the 2 kids meals free and not our entrees...so we had to pay for the most expensive items one of which was not even cooked. They gave us another free meal voucher but at this point, I doubt we will ever go back again. We are sorely disappointed because we love supporting our local businesses. read more

They know what they want to do, and they do it great! I was in CO Springs visiting friends, and they dragged me up to Monument for breakfast. At first I was skeptical, as I am usually early on weekends, but I'm a believer now. Large portions, hearty food, friendly "down home" staff, and nothing too gimmiky (I refuse to order some of the Denny's items, only because I refuse to say the names of them). I know my friends were initially in a panic because I guess it caught fire recently, but they (my friends) are doing much better now, apparently it has reopened and is just as good as before. Sorry I can't speak to the lunch/dinner menu, but I would definitely go again for breakfast and would at least give the other meals a fair shake. read more

Great little dinner in the heart of monument. GF options, skillet style meals... Bread pudding French toast. What more do you want?! They even have hand squeezed OJ! read more

We went for lunch this week and had an okay experience. Our server was inexperienced and not very professional. The people sitting behind us left because it took so long to get their food and it was cold when it finally did arrive. The server never apologized and just walked away and talking to himself outloud. Our food was decent, but we will likely opt for Rosie's Diner in the future (one of our favorites). One more thing...they charged $2.99 for a drink, which is outrageous. read more

Yummy Yummy food. And Matt there is fantastic. Love all the staff but Matt goes out of his way to make you feel at home! And extra yummy are the potatoes! read more

I had to finally become a Yelper just to review this establishment, that's how much of an impact dining here has made. The impact, unfortunately, hasn't been good. My family and I live in the area and have visited this diner several times, with "It was alright" being the absolute best of the experiences I've had. I'm not sure what so many reviewers are raving about- perhaps they are accustomed to garbage scraps, living in caves, or freely distributing their incomes. But when you eat somewhere and consistently leave realizing that you'd have been better off either eating tree bark and puddle water or just skipping the meal entirely, something is definitely amiss. My recent (and last) visit was yesterday with my daughter (who is 18 months old). Upon entering, no one said anything to us. It wasn't enough apparently for a diner to actually choose to spend money in their business, but even a dad toting a wiggling toddler and diaper/supply bag while covered in snowflakes didn't solicit even a "Hello" or, "Here, let me get you a high-chair." Regardless, I chose a table (with the comfort level of a Mayan alter, IMHO) and proceeded to order. 'Matthew' was my server but clearly had no interest in serving whatsoever. After his first of only three visits to my table in which he took my order, I ordered the French toast plate with the side items of a pancake, scrambled egg, bowl of fruit and milk to share with my little girl. I realize that's a lot of sides but my ticket was $22. $22!! For one man, and one little girl. So throw that 'it's an affordable little joint' premise out the window. I was extremely disappointed with the costs, even though I understand add-ons change things up a bit. But shouldn't a server at a quality establishment make suggestions to combine add-ons into one separate meal to assist the guest? At the end of the day, any money made from my ticket was quickly offset by the fact that I'll never go back. In addition, our milk was brought immediately to the table even though I requested it with the meal. What's worse than hot milk with breakfast? That's right, nothing. When another server named Shelley finally brought the entire meal I politely asked if she could swap my milk for a fresh one. She replied, "Yes, but we'll charge you for two milks." I smiled and said no thanks. Three minutes later she pranced over and slammed a new milk on the table, saying nothing and quickly walking away. I literally wondered, "Do I have a sign on my head that says to be as rude as possible?" And yes, they do serve Serranos coffee and it's delicious. But you know who else serves Serranos coffee? SERRANOS COFFEE SHOP, JUST THREE BLOCKS AWAY! So the food arrives (with a ticket time approx. 30 minutes, which is odd since the place was only at 30% capacity) and the pancake is cold, the french toast is cold, my daughter's egg is oozing grease making it inedible, and there was no syrup on the table. After 5 minutes of waiting for the syrup to hide the taste of my meal, I just got up and found a jar on the server's station. We quickly ate our meals and left. No "thank you for coming," no "in this economy, thanks for spending your money here," no nothing. Maybe I just went on a bad day, you say. Nope, this was definitely the worst of my visits but not by much. There's simply no reason to eat here if you value quality breakfast, impressive service, or reasonable prices. About the decor- when you hear "local joint," be cautious. Landfills are also "local joints." There's nothing glaringly bad about this place, but there's also nothing positive to speak of. When you were young, if you ever visited a friend's dirty grandmother's house, you'll feel the memories flow in The Coffee Cup Cafe. It was a special touch when without prompting my server had to immediately re-wipe and scrub down our entire table before we ordered. Lest you say "this newbie's just nit-picking," I'll sum it up- Food = below average to poor Service = poor Decor = below average to poor Prices = below average With money so tight these days for each of us, there's simply no excuse for blowing your disposable income on such a bad experience. I hesitate to say, but the reality is that you'll get a much better dining experience at several chain restaurants within a tether-ball swing away. If you want my recommendation, go to Rosie's for a true diner experience and swing through Serranos drive-thru on your way home. Your welcome. read more

Small breakfast place in Monument. The food was good and the wait staff was nice. We'll be back!

I just moved to Monument and was in a jam to feed the family that was there to help. I Yelped breakfast restaurants and came across this one...so glad. First of all, it's a hoping place but they efficiently sat everyone then bussed the tables quickly to get more customers sat down. The food was good and made to order. The best part was their service. Immediate greetings during a busy time, friendly wait staff with everyone and checked in on me while I waited for my to-go order. Lots of people waving and speaking to eachother so the small town vibe was priceless too. read more

Easy parking, extremely attentive wait staff, immediate seating with a thorough menu. This is a very good local cafe worth a try, we'll definitely be back. read more

Menu so big it's hard to decide. Every item I have had on the menu is affordable and home cooked. The best place for a home cooked breakfast. There Chorizo skillet is one of the best choices. read more

Been here twice. Both times I sat at the counter for 10 minutes while being completely ignored. Both times I went to Rosie's Diner. Rosies is 5 stars, go there instead unless you like being ignored! read more

Huge portions for an inexpensive price! Always packed but still great and fast service!

Something has gone seriously wrong here. Been here two weeks in a row, after having been a customer for 15 years. Service has taken over an hour each time and there is no explanation. They really need to write something to explain what is going on. If it is new ownership or staff, we'll understand. But please, let us know what has happened. Thanks. read more

A very diverse breakfast - lunch menu. Coffee Cup Cafe appears to be operated exclusively by teens and young 20's, but they were keeping up with the quick Sunday morning business. Service was polite, but they didn't check on us after our food was delivered or offer to refill water glasses. Our orders came quickly. The place has a very local feel to it. Our food was very average. My husband's bean and sausage soup was boring. Not bad, just nothing I coveted after he gave me a taste. My daughter's crepe was presented well with real slices of fresh fruit (berries), not mushy frozen stuff. The crepes were fairly thick (think pancake-like) Last and definitely least was my green chile. I wish I could rave about it. But I would not recommend this dish. Again, it wasn't bad, just not good. It seemed to have a lot of thickening agent in it with canned chile and some pork pieces. I'm wondering if this place would be better off offering less options to concentrate more on honing their dishes. read more

Depending on how the spirits move the waitstaff and cooks, they can be either good or bad. We have been treated rudely in the past, and the food has varied from very good to horrendous. Just went this past week and we were greeted well and the breakfast was fantastic...hot, plentiful, fresh and tasty. I like their sausage patties and corned beef, and my daughters were blown away by the enormous buttermilk pancakes. My big eater brother swears by the number 1 combo burrito with green chili. He says its everything one could want on one plate. They need to do a thorough cleaning, as the floors and walls are getting grubby, but they do have a pretty good breakfast still. read more

Great food, large portions!! I had pancakes and they were so good. Friendly place too! Good ole hometown place.

Ticket was lost, food took a really long time. Server didn't bring sugar free syrup, food sat in the window for a long time and was not hot. The server didn't check back with us. read more

Good food...bread pudding French toast was excelllent. Three stars for less than hot temps when food arrived. It had obviously been sitting a bit before being served. Eggs were cold. Waitress was great...very friendly. read more

Basic cafeteria food. Nothing special. If you're looking to be wowed go elsewhere. I got the turkey wrap and I should have just come home and made myself a pbj which would have been better. My son got a kids cheese burger that turned out to be mostly dry bread cause the beef hockey puck was less than half the side of the bun. Won't be going back. read more

My wife and I enjoyed breakfast here twice in a row, because we enjoyed it so much! The food is excellent, the service is great, and the small town atmosphere is delightful. I ordered the chicken fried steak skillet the first day, and the heuvos potatoes the next. Both were excellent! My wife loved the classic breakfast options and the scramblers. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have been to the coffee cup many times. The small-town atmosphere and the wonderful wood floors make my experience worthwhile. The food s what you would expect. And the service is pretty good especially because it comes from local high school students for the most part. Go and enjoy and relax slowdown to simpler time. read more

Consistently good. Service very good. Delicious food. HINT: when reading these reviews and you read a bad one consider the source. Monument is full of unhappy liberals who complain about everything. I apologize for them. This is a great restaurant! read more

This little gem is the bomb, can't wait to get back ! The service, atmosphere,coffee and of course he food !!!!!!

The bacon was over cooked, the sausage and pancakes were undercooked, the drinks were small, and the pancakes had a bizarre flavor,

I love breakfast/brunch places, and this one did not disappoint. There were so many good choices on the menu, I had a difficult time deciding what to order. Loved having breakfast options available during lunch hours, and our server, Walter, was extremely pleasant and attentive. This is a great find and totally worth the short drive off I25. read more

Did management or ownership change here recently? We used to love this place. We have been coming here for more than 5 years every weekend. I am now consistently disappointed by the service, particularly the young, female waitstaff with the tattoo sleeve. Stop using these teenagers. It's great to be mom and pop style, but the charm can't undo the terrible service that has gotten precipitously worse since they started using teenagers as their waitstaff. It would be one thing if their service was just what has gotten worse, but the food has become subpar too. The country fried chicken and pancakes was a favorite, but the chicken portion is now tiny and the pancakes are inconsistent. Unfortunately, this place is only popular because it's local and the memory people used to have of this place. Sad, really. read more

Not impressed at all. Very disappointing. Had a chorizo burrito and a Belgium waffle breakfast. Green chili tasted like it was out of the can. The cheese inside was sliced American cheese (not even grated or fresh), and they used store bought tortillas. Highly overpriced for the quality. Waffle was average. Fruit on top was not fresh at all. It was mushy! Ordered a fried egg over well (not runny and not hard and dry)...first egg came out running all over the plate. Second egg came out crispy and burnt. Will not go again! Don't waste your time. read more

We were lucky enough to get the best waitress today... Haley.. Cute, friendly, efficient... She helped make breakfast a great experience. Wish I could say the same for the people near us ... They were stuck with Mariah... Ignored customers ... Forgot silverware, dropped creamer on the floor ( picked it up and put it on the table) kept people waiting .... So glad we got Haley! read more

This place always reminds me of a place we used to get breakfast as a child. Everyone is friendly and the food is great

Well....I always say that you have to try a place at least twice before you decide if you like it or not. I have, and can say with certainty that this place should be skipped until a new operations manager is hired. Went this morning and boy, what a mess. There were several (count 8) empty but dirty tables. The kid working said they were working on clearing them. When we left an hour later there were still several (count 7) empty, but still dirty tables. This time, the same kid who said they were working on clearing them was chatting it up with a customer. Dirty tables take a priority in any restaurant. It takes 3 minutes to clear them. That being said, the food was pretty good. I did get a look at the cook though, and ick. He looked dirty and had something in his mouth (a receipt perhaps, but ish). Might have returned to give it another go because the food was okay, but after seeing the cook, I'll stick to Rosies or Willow Tree. read more
