    This was my first time here and I'm so glad I finally made the trip! I went to the Cup Cafe Too, by the Atlantis, not the one further South It has such a cute cozy atmosphere. I sat at the bar and had very prompt attentive service. I ordered the Tuscan Scramble with their home potatoes, and opted for a biscuit at the recommendation of my server (who I believe was also the owner or manager). Everything was flavorful and good sized portions. I left with half of it to enjoy later. They are only open for breakfast and lunch so be sure to put it on your list of brunch spots. They do have mimosas for those wanting an adult beverage to accompany your meal.

    Located in the Reno town Mall strip mall. Such a cute place, it has a Cozy atmosphere. It was busy for a Tuesday morning but we were seated right away. They have a really good cup of coffee. I got the steak and eggs, it was good. But my favorite thing was their pumpkin pancakes! They were delicious! I will be ordering that again:) Husband tried the Mexican scramble, he cleaned his plate! I was able to sneak a bite in though, it had a fair amount of spice to it. Good flavors. We will be back for sure!

    This location is closer to my house than the original. Everything was really tasty. I got the jalapeño burger, that wasn't spicy at all. Service was speedy and polite. However the single hot cake came with the check practically. A little delayed with that one... dessert pancake?! Haha still everything was delightful and I'm glad this spot is a bit closer that it used to be for me.

    Stopped in for lunch. Service was polite and courteous. I tried the Bacon Avocado Burger. Angus beef, plenty of fresh toppings and cooked to perfection. The bacon alone was amazing! Served with fries that were hot and crispy. I may make this a regular lunch spot in Reno but will try a breakfast option next time!

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Cup Café offers impeccable service and consistently delivers fresh, delicious food. My personal favorite is the Benedict: perfectly poached eggs and just the right seasoning every time. While I didn't get a cup of coffee this visit, in the past it's always been fresh, and the staff never lets my drink get too low before offering a refill. They now have two locations, and I visited their newest spot at Reno Town Mall. It has a charming mom and pop vibe, complete with teapots with your choice of tea, that perfectly fit the café's aesthetic. A delightful experience overall!

    Kids menu. Pancake and sausage.

    When I think about breakfast, I'd like to think about this place. The kid and I decided to have breakfast here yesterday. We haven't been to their new location at the Old Town Mall since they opened. We walked in and the place looked busy. We were seated quickly and given menus. The kid had the pancakes and sausage off the kids menu. I got the chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns. It also came with a side of biscuits and gravy! My kid loved the pancakes. I thought they smelled good. They smelled like cake. He ate all of the sausage too. My chicken fried steak was seasoned good. There was a good amount of food. I couldn't finish it all but I tried. Even though the place was busy, our waitress Kelly, was on top of it. The service was great. They might need another waiter/ waitress to help her. Seemed like she was the only one working but she had it covered. I can see why they opened a second location. The Cup Cafe has great food and is a good place to eat.

    Stopped in for breakfast. I am never disappointed. The service is fast and friendly. Every staff member is do polite. It always busy however you are made to feel like you matter. Its hustle and bustle of the breakfast crowd is crazy. Yet it's not too loud to hold a conversation. Always my go to spot if I'm on that side of towm

    I love coming to this location for breakfast! The staff is always so sweet and nice and the restaurant is always super clean. The food is always delicious. I always get the egg white scramble and make sure to get a pancake. FYI the pancake is still delicious even if you save it and heat it up the next day.

    Garden Benedict but with bacon added.

    We were shopping at Burlington, and saw The Cup and decided to pop in - the place is hidden away and I never knew it was there! The ambiance is homey, and very "family friendly". Every table and booth was filled and the place was hopping. There were only open til 2pm and it was 1:00 so we sat at the counter, and ordered breakfast. We were served quickly, the food was excellent. $25 for breakfast is steep. I had breakfast and tea and with tip $25. I'll need to stop in for lunch one day soon, I had the garden benedict and it was delicious. Very large portion and I'd definitely have that again. The scramble was small in portion and just okay. The menu looked so expansive I do want to try other things. Love the place!

    Love this place. This is at the Cup 2. More room at this location and much larger parking lot. Service is always outstanding along with amazing food. Not a bad dish in this joint. Don't sleep on this one folks! Very clean and cozy.

    Popped in for a late breakfast on a weekend day. We sat at the bar and ordered our meals from very pleasant and accommodating staff. I asked for my bacon limp. Well the Limp bacon was fairly crispy. Pancakes must've sat a few minutes as they were a bit on the colder side than hot but still had good taste. Eggs over medium cooked perfectly. This is the biggest thing I appreciate. Poorly cooked eggs ruin the meal. Good mimosa. Staff very attentive, friendly and professional.

    Saturday Morning Mimosa at The Cup Café.
    Elizabeth S.

    We happen to drive by the newest location and decided to have breakfast. The decor is so adorable!!! We were greeted right away, but it was peak time, so we had to wait about 30 minutes. Not too bad... I had a Mimosa and the Bacon Avocado Benedict, served with Breakfast Potatoes. The Bacon Avocado Benedict was cooked to perfection and really tasty, but unfortunately the potatoes were a bit salty for my taste. Our server was great though! She was friendly and provided excellent service.

    Club Sandwich with their homemade potatoes salad.
    Jeanne N.

    Let me start by saying I've been here twice in the last three days once for lunch and once for breakfast and both were exceptional. On Wednesday, I drop by for lunch with a friend and had their club sandwich with their homemade potato salad. The sandwich was stuffed to the rims with turkey and bacon and ham and lettuce and tomatoes, and was absolutely wonderful as was their homemade potato salad. Saturday I stopped in with a friend for breakfast and had their sausage patty two eggs over easy and they're cottage fries again, everything was great. The sausage was done crispy around the edges. The eggs were cooked at Perfection and the cottage potatoes mixed with bell peppers and onion were yummy. Servers are friendly unhelpful not intrusive, but they seem to know just when you need them. The restaurant itself is quite quaint and cute inside with Lacey curtains and decor that remind you of a cottage or your favorite bed-and-breakfast. Five stars for breakfast and lunch and this will be on our new list of favorite places to eat

The soup said on the menu it came with homemade croutons but instead it came with generic saltine crackers. Also it was made with red onion instead of yellow onion which was a ... choice. The burger, however, was perfect. The flavors were good, it was cooked exactly as ordered, medium rare. Our waitress was great. We absolutely loved her. Even though she was the only waitress there she was on her game. She was honest and professional and really had a great personality. Food came out in a timely fashion. The cocktails were delicious. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of. Overall we enjoyed our time here and if we happen to be passing through again we would stop here.

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!

A draft beer for 16 dollars is also more than expected. Our bartender was professional and chatty. He did pull a nice bottle of tequila down for us to admire, and told us about some other fancy top shelf stuff they had. I appreciate they were even open. Service was great, everyone looked taken care of. The place looked clean; and the food looked great everywhere, ours just flopped. All of the other patrons there were probably late 50s and up at 2pm on Memorial day. This is one of the most expensive underwhelming lunches I've had ever had in Reno. I am sure if we had said something they would have given us new fries, but that isnt the point. You have a price set well above average so I expect that it will be executed suprbly.
