    This family owned cafe is very quaint love the decor and great ambiance. Service was fantastic, greeted with a smile and a warmth of welcomeness. Greeted at our table in a timely manner and offered coffee and was checked often to see if we needed a warm up. When we ordered we received our meal hot and quick and yummy. The eggs and bacon and fried potatoes with peppers so yummy. I also got the biscuits and gravy it was good but I wish it had just a bit more sausage in it . Otherwise it was good. Big portions so be prepared to take some home . Next time I want to try the lunch specials .

    Eggs Benedict

    We arrived a little late but we were still able to sit at the bar in the back, we enjoy sitting there and have several times. Service is always superb and immediate! We both had mimosas as it was Mother's Day. I had the Tucson scramble she enjoyed eggs Benedict. Both meals were plenty of food and fantastic!!

    Eggs, Country potatoes and biscuits and gravy.

    This diner is rather nostalgic as a Reno landmark has been operated under different names over the years. The ambiance inside was very clean and had the country kitchen vibe. The hostess, waiter and table attendant were exceptionally courteous and friendly. They kept our coffee flowing. They did not have heavy cream only milk or half and half. The eggs were cooked to order and the hash browns were perfect browned and crispy. The bacon was thick and yet still crispy, ham and sausage were also tasty. The biscuits and gravy were a little disappointing as the gravy was bland, thick and hardly any sausage pieces. The biscuits were average and not very browned. Overall this is a great stop for breakfast. It's very convenient and the people and food are great.

    Just love this place. I have never ordered anything i did not love. From breakfast to lunch selections its a must try. Always busy but definitely worth the wait time. The servers are always smiling and friendly. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of this place. Conversations a plenty. Lots of noise but it adds to the overall environment of a busy restaurant. It's a fun family place.

    Gargen Benedict

    Had brunch with one of my friends . We had about a 15 minute wait for a table . While we waited there was a steady flow of people coming and going. We were seated at a table right by the kitchen door.. It was ok until it wasn't. Not the worst experience. I had the Garden Benedict! It was better than I had expected! Their sauce is creamy and packed with flavor and the rest of the meal followed suit. Would like to try it for lunch and possibly have a more enjoyable seating experience

    Mom happy w her coffee and breakfast.

    Our Reno favorite!! This is the spot, we love it here(and their second location down the way. The service here is second to none, the staff is always friendly and even when there is a wait it isn't very long before you are eating! Bin coming here for years now and their food is all excellent. Our top favorites are the "chile relleno" all the breakfast options are great but they also have a delicious burger and wraps for lunch. They make sure you can have it your way and we just love that. I bring my mom here and she's always so excited. Side note the coffee is so good too and refills always come quick. The place is clean warm and cozy and the decor makes you feel right at home. Treat yourself and eat at this place. Literally our favorite.

    The Cup Cafe is one of my favorite local spots in Reno! It has the most homey atmosphere and the staff is always welcoming and friendly! The pancakes are fabulous and my go to is classic Eggs Benedict or huevos rancheros! You can't go wrong with this family owned spot and all of their homemade dishes!

    I came here with my family to have brunch. It's a cute, small, and cozy cafe. I ordered a burger while the rest of my family ordered breakfast. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger and it was delicious! The fries were also crispy so that earned extra points in my book. Service was also really wonderful. Servers were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth to check out!

    The cup is a cute little cafe, there is a mural greeting you, asking with the waiting area. The hostess got my name and number of party, wait time is approximately 30 minutes, not bad of the wait. I order the scrambler with toast and coffee. The scrambler has sausage with bell peppers and onion with home fries scrambled with eggs. I actually enjoyed the meal. It's good, rustic, homey feel. The servers are attentive. Even with a little mishaps. There was a spilled syrup on the seat, I accidentally sat on it. They are very apologetic. Especially my servers.

    We visited The Cup Cafe for our first time recently after driving by many times and were so glad we did! The inside was cute and felt like the inside of a house. It was family friendly and they had coloring pages and crayons for the kids. The staff was friendly and service was quick and the food was delicious! We tried the chicken fried steak and pumpkin pancakes and both hit the spot. The food was all reasonably priced as well. I look forward to going back and trying some of the other breakfast or lunch options!

    My first time into the cup I've been really wanting to go here and I was not disappointed. I loved it. The decor, the ambiance the waitresses were so friendly and the food is just delicious. We watched the cooks right there grill it all, make it all right in front of our eyes and the teapots were so darn. Cute was probably my favorite. All in all the food was delicious. I ordered chile relleno and it was delicious pancake that we always order for. The table was one of the most delicious pancakes I've ever tasted after I ate that I kind of wasn't hungry but I pressed on. My sister ordered steak and eggs. Steak was cooked perfectly the way she loves it. So guess what I'll be back

    Our first time eating here and everything tasted great. Service was good. All the little signs inside were cute.

    Tuscan Scramble
    Jennifer S.

    A cozy, bright breakfast spot with friendly staff, quick service, and a fabulous cup of coffee! Met a friend for breakfast to catch up and decided to try somewhere new. Safe to say...we will be back! I had the Tuscan scramble (order it and thank me later) and she had the bacon avocado Benedict (on my next order list). Both were very tasty and we chose the house potatoes for a side. I wish the potatoes had been crispier, but seasoned well and a great mo with peppers and onions.

Miguel apologized for his delay but it was perfect timing for us Avocado toast and a breakfast sandwich were great choices. There were plenty of options for lunch also. I liked the avocado spread as opposed to slices so much easier to eat. I would have liked the toast a little more toasted but the bread, avocado, egg and some cholula and it was tasty. I had a bite of hubbys sandwich. His sourdough bread was delicious, so was the ham and the cheese was the perfect melt. Nice place, we were in a side room with only about 5 or 6 tables.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience here from begin to end. The staff was kind and attentive, we had a waitress who sat us down and got us coffee and water, and after that it was uphill from there. We had three other servers stop to ask if we needed anything or wanted to give our order, and once we made up our mind the waiter who helped us did a fantastic job. No pen or notepad, he remembered our order with full detail and not one mess up. As we finished out appetizer, sides, and meal he continued to come by and take our plates, refill our water and my coffee. He was on point. By the end of the meal I paid the bill and gave him a cash tip and thanked him. He seemed happy and thanked us for stopping in and conversing with him. Highly recommend this place to anyone, oh, and the food was on point! Sweet, savory, delicious, and it made me wish there was a place like this back home!

So you've been warned guys, this restaurant is no longer a family-friendly place. I'm not coming back here if they restrict people or choose people who can eat. They can just have a space for non-smokers and drinkers. So no, I'm not coming back here, and don't waste your time coming there if you have a toddler or teenager with you. The service is always good, and the staffs are always friendly and accommodating. It just too bad that we cannot dine-in there if we have the kids with us.

The inside has that old school diner and saloon vibe people always mention, a little dark, a little busy, with memorabilia on the walls and a bar that looks like it's been there forever. It's not trying to be trendy, more of a local hangout with a lot of character and a steady crowd of regulars. If you go on a weekend, expect a wait because it gets packed. Service was excellent. Even with the place being full, everything ran smoothly and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. It felt like they actually care about making sure you're taken care of, not rushing you in and out. Definitely a strong point of the experience. For food, we had the chicken fried steak and the French toast. The chicken fried steak was exactly what you want from a place like this, large portion, hearty, and satisfying. The French toast was a nice balance to that, a little lighter but still rich and comforting. Overall, it's solid, no nonsense comfort food that hits the spot. This is the kind of place you go when you want a real meal and a laid back atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Great value and service!

So I decided to give it a try. My husband and I were there for lunch. Upon walking into the store it is just so light and bright and open. The presentation of meats and seafood are displayed so beautifully. The menu for fresh food cooked right off the grill was right next to the cash register. My husband went with the bison, barbecue burger, and a side of fries, and I had the original burger with my choice of cheeses. Everything was prepared and served hot and fresh! We were offered ranch to go with our fries. I had a house made thousands island type sauce (but way better) to go on my cheeseburger. It was delicious. I asked one of the employees (Sarah) what was in it. She was very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable about all of their house made sauces. I told her that I loved the garlic in the Thousands island style sauce so she gave me a sample of their garlic aioli sauce! If you are a garlicholic like me, this is a must try!!

(Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them. Updated Reno Burger Rankings primarily on quality/taste but also value is factored in but to a lesser degree: #1 Armandos #2 Royce #3 Beefy's tied with The Parlor #4 Archies Giant #5 Juicy's
