The place was a little off the beaten track, but the ratings were high, so I decided to give it a try. I like to try new places, especially small local places. The interior was very nice looking, and comforting. The barista was extremely nice/friendly. Oh, and the latte was good, too! I plan to stop regularly when I'm traveling by in the future. read more

Update 6/16/2023: My last review said I'd be back again if I found myself in the area and that was the case today! I was surprised to see the building is green now (it was red last time) and it is also drive thru/walk thru only now as well. The drinks were still great though! It's cash only and they had no menus but the owner kindly gave us a rundown of options. I ordered a cappuccino with coconut milk and my husband got a hazelnut latte. Both were tasty and very reasonably priced. Thanks again, Main Cup! read more

This is NOT a restaurant, as my Google search told me it was (with a link to a restaurant website complete with menu that looked amazing!) HOWEVER, the lady that greeted us was super nice and friendly and the place is super cute and I bet they made a mean cup of Joe. We were hungry so she told us about a great place just a few blocks away. Just wanted y'all to know so you wouldn't get thrown like we and apparently others have. The owner has had a lot of trouble with Google soooo give her a break and buy a coffee! read more

This is most def a surprising gem in an expected place.....well worth the three minutes it takes you to get there from the interstate. Excellent coffee, better than the Starbucks in the Safeway, and served up from owner Daphne with charm and warmth, in a cool, historic gas station where she also has a gift shop that's fun to peruse. We will be stopping by every time we are passing through on I-70! read more

My son and I were traveling from Arkansas to Eagle, Colorado. We stayed the night in Burlington and the next morning I 'Yelped' local places for coffee. The Main Cup came up with excellent reviews, so I tried it out. Let me tell ya what, it held up to the rave reviews! The friendly help and delicious latte hit the spot! read more

Went looking for a local shop while driving across I-70. This place has friendly service and amazing chai!

Drive thru only due to Covid. Lovely customer service, cute building and delicious smoothies and coffee. The server was really sweet. They are new and don't have a menu but they can make anything Starbucks can make. They might be even better! read more

The Main Cup - 16 oz brew of the day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Colorado

I got a vanilla raspberry cold brew with cold foam and it was delicious the cold brew was incredibly smooth not bitter at all! The shop was adorable I felt extremely welcomed when we walking in. Our server was amazing she was so sweet. We will definitely come back when in the area! read more

If it's cold outside and your wanting to relax while smelling the smell of a coffe shop don't come here. Makes you stand outside or order from your car. Also the coffee is very average definitely not something worth going out if your way for. read more

A very nice quaint little coffee shop. The minute you walk in you get an aroma of warm spices. There is a cute sitting area and a neat little trinket/home decor section of the shop that makes the atmosphere cozy and inviting. Being from the Denver area the coffee isn't much different from your typical coffee shop, nothing spectacular outside of traditional coffee. However, for this little town when truck stop mud coffee, hotel brew selections, and watery restaurant drips, this coffee shop is a gem and the best crafted latte brews. It is a small town coffee so remember to give grace if you happen to come as out of towners. We went with 5 out of town guests and two of our in town friends, which was a big order, plus about 5 additional regular guests showed up. I feel we overwhelmed the lady a bit, since it was quite the rush, but she handled it well, made the drinks in a timely manner. We tried to make conversation, but I think the business of the rush gave a frazzled feel and so she didn't seem as homey as her shop. Once we left and the rush died down she was much more chirpy, so give grace if you come. read more

Enjoy your coffee and browse the unique gift shop ~ we are serious coffee peeps ~ we found this 10 star coffee stop A MUST & more than worth the 5 minutes offI-70. thank you Yelp read more

The Main Cup - Daphne ~ owner ~ extremely kind warm pleasant thoughtful and pretty too! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Colorado

Passing through Burlington on a cross country journey, I found this gem of a coffee shop. Directly opposite the shop are grain silos waiting to load railroad cars. Daphne greets visitors warmly. And she makes a perfect latte. The atmosphere is delightful as regulars stop by for their daily dose. Listen in and get the scoop on the goings on about town. There's an large attached gift shop with interesting local and imported items. This is the place for coffee in Burlington. Don't miss it and Daphne. read more

Picked up an awesome morning jolt a few mornings back, and really enjoyed it! We stopped by The Main Cup on our way through eastern Colorado, and despite a bit of contempt for the Yelp process (to which i am heretofore contributing), we stopped in just from seeing all the great past reviews this place had. It did not disappoint! Snagged a full-bodied and bold americano as well as a crazy good chocolate latte, and almost skipped out on food for the morning thanks to the delicious drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Cozy little spot with good coffee but they only had drive-through service the day I was there. One day I hope to see the inside of her little boutique (if that's what it is). Charming lady holding down the fort. read more

The Main Cup is cute mom and pop coffee shop. My husband and I always do the local places if we can. The coffee was great and the owner was very friendly. We would go by again if we are in the area. read more

My wife and I stopped for coffee at The Main Cup on Friday, July 27, 2018. We ordered a pair of lattes, which were delicious! This coffee shop is very easy to get to - it is right at the north end of Main Street. Burlington is a small town - so it is no problem to get to the coffee shop even if you're traveling on I-70. In addition to having a number of different styles of coffee, they offer different types of milk (almond, coconut, soy - even macadamia nut!) to suit your taste! There is a small seating area outside where we sat to drink our coffees - and every person who came in and out of the shop was very friendly. The Main Cup is a great little coffee shop, but it also has a little gift shop attached, as well. If you happen to be driving through eastern Colorado, and you want to stop for some coffee - you won't regret trying The Main Cup! (And don't forget to sign the guest book!) read more

Great little coffee shop, middle of no where town, great find. Nice owner, clean bathroom, cute decor, relaxing music. Cash only though, so be warned. read more

Cross country trip saved by the Main Cup! Excellent coffee served with a smile! Outdoor seating as well. And a tiny "Free Library" inside. read more

What a cute little spot. Although we she in search of breakfast, the service was spot on. Gave us a great recommendation to another spot. Check out for a great cup of joe! read more

Super cute! Only downside is they don't take credit cards. Yummy frapps! Great hometown service, hostess knows everyone's name. Has non-dairy options as well. read more

For some reason this place isn't listed on Yelp, but it's very possibly the best thing about Burlington, Colorado. The Main Cup is a really good coffee shop, with tasty drinks, free WiFi, and great decor. But instead of on a busy street in the city, it's on a corner in the quiet town of Burlington. We've been here twice now, and plan to stop in whenever we're in Burlington again. There is plenty of room for seating, which I've never seen even half full (I hope that's not a sign that the company isn't doing well). There are good tables and chairs to hang out, plus games and books to keep you entertained. The only negative thing about The Main Cup is that they hardly have any food. Today, for instance, they just had three cream cheese danishes. And we ate two of them. They were delicious, but I wish the cafe had breakfast burritos or at least some fresh fruit. read more

Well, one thing I know is there is a reason to "Go West", and that is for the Main Cup. The best coffee in the West. Don't be fooled by Burlington, because tucked away from the highway and yes, only a two minute drive, is a coffee oasis!! Daphne is a walking textbook on the town, sweet as can be and a budding stand up comedian! Do not pass by the great coffee, awesome shop and the best kept secret of The West. read more

I love this place. I make the time and the effort to visit. Daphne is a great hostess and owner. I hadn't been in for over 6 months and she remembered me! Seems a lot of local folks make this place their spot. I always feel very welcome, even by the regulars. read more

My husband and I go here every day. The coffee is the best. I'm never disappointed with anything I've tried. Be sure to stop by if you're traveling through our great little town. read more

The Main Cup is a great find! My girlfriend and I aren't really into the whole franchise coffee shops, so this place was right up our alley. We found The Main Cup on our drive back to Georgia. Def will be returning here when we travel back to Colorado. The woman (we feel terrible for not getting her name) was awesome and made great recommendations on the Irish coffee line up. Great coffee, and great atmosphere! I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is wonderful. I am a local and this is such a gem to have in our time. We love to surprise out of town visitors with such an amazing place to get coffee! We are so fortunate to have this place in our town. Cute owner really knows coffee, you can get a true espresso here! read more

Exceptional tea! First time having macadamia milk steamer with hints of lavender and vanilla green tea. The owner is very nice and the shop itself is adorable with cute trinkets to peruse. My two year old twins thankfully didn't break anything; they got a kick out of the Christmas tree! read more

The sweetest lady ever and the best coffee!! The best espresso and cutest shop. We didn't have cash, and did not realize the credit card machine was not working, but she generously let us go without paying. She said "someone else paid it forward early today, so we were covered". She is an angel! I would recommend this place for everyone! Leaving with a lot more than a good cup of coffee! read more

So glad we found this listing on Yelp. We made for the Main Cup after leaving Boulder this morning. We're heading east with our golden doodle and we enjoy finding new places to stop. Daphne at The Main Cup welcomed all of us! The coffee was great, as advertised and we talked Goldendoodles over our flat whites. There's a good grassy lot across the street so our pup got a run as well. We definitely recommend you stop at The Main Cup. It's worth missing breakfast for. read more

Stopped in to grab coffee before heading back to St. Louis and the lady who served us was spectacular! Such a welcoming and warm place! As I said, we came in for coffee, but the barista talked me into trying a strawberry cream drink that was delicious! Hope to come back someday! read more

Was an awesome find ! Best cup of coffee since Italy! Worth the wait! Drove 1 1/2 hrs to get a cup of coffee on I70

We stopped in Burlington on our three day drive from Kansas City back home to Seattle. We enjoyed our drinks from here and would come back next time were through. Properly made espresso in the middle of almost nowhere? Win. We got an ice Americano and an iced mocha. Both smooth and well made. We're happy to support a local shop. It had a comfortable atmospwhere in a neat house. read more

Wow! My husband and I wanted coffee and this cute little place came up. It was 1:29 and it showed the closing time as 1:30. I called and Daphne said she would stay open. We were 18 minutes away. Small town for ya and you will not be disappointed with the coffee or service. We will stop here on every trip through here on I 70! Ends up we know Daphne's neice in Summit county. She and our daughter were high school friends. Checking into other possible connections from the 1950's too. read more

On my drive from Denver to Houston I stayed the night in Burlington. I spent a few hours chatting with the nice ladies at Main Cup. The coffee was excellent and I enjoyed the company as well!! read more

Totally worth the short trip off the interstate and down Main Street. Great hot coffee beverages and a nice shop with friendly, prompt service. And I like my lattes! Nifty town. So get your latte or coffee or tea beverage of your choice and sit at a table and soak up small town Americana for a few minutes. read more

Excellent coffee. Fast and courteous service. Nice setting in a newly renovated converted garage. Complete with comfy chairs. Not too far off the main highways. read more

We were staying in town with family who don't own a coffee maker due to their tiny kitchen. As an avid coffee drinker I was forced to scout the town looking for a quality cup of Jo. Boy was I glad we found this place! Great coffee and conversation, a neat little gift shop for your hosts and an easy to find location for those of us who have trouble with directions before our second cup. Daphne is a wonderful barista and knows her coffee. Even if you are just passing Burlington on I-70, stop in to The Main Cup to refill your travel mug and a bag of excellent coffee to take with you. It's worth the time to get off the highway and stop by this little place.This will be our regular stop when we visit. See you there! read more
