Great food. Great service. Nice ambiance. I had Avocado Benedict which was delicious. A few potatoes were a little hard but I would definitely recommend!

We loved the lobster omelette! The food was wonderful! We will debrief back! The service was fri! The outdoor space was very nice!

This is an AMAZING breakfast spot! All of their dishes are YUMMY and the service is FANTASTIC and the ambiance is ADORABLE and sweet! Their potatoes are SO GOOD and their pancakes are WOW!!!!

I came on a Sunday around 10a and luckily didn't have a long wait time. My waitress was super nice and accommodating. There is a decent amount of seating inside and out, but it wasn't too loud as all the tables were full. I was happy about that as someone who is soft spoken and can't hear that well. The food was absolutely amazing and one of the best breakfast I have had in the valley. I can't wait to show friends and out of towners this spot!

This place has a great vibe, the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It was a busy Sunday and we waited may 10 min. Sat by the kitchen and got to see all of the amazing items come out (which made it difficult to pick just one for myself). My party of four all went for the Chilliquilles. 2 red and 2 green 3 with steak and one with chorizo. The flavor for the sauces were outstanding. They were rich with flavor. Our steaks were cooked to perfection for all of our taste. The waiter even brought us chili oil for the fire moths that were with us who like everything extra spicy. The one thing that I did not like was that the tortilla chips were not crunchy at all. They tasted like they had been pre made and sitting in a chaffing dish. I prefer to have mine cooked "as ordered" fresh and crispy and super hot. My eggs were uneven, 1 was runny and the other over cooked and solid no runny yolk like I ordered. The steak was well seasoned and solid juicy. This was not a cheap cut of meat or a skinny overcooked piece of carne asada. I loved it and my friends loved theirs as well. The chorizo was good quality and tasted great as well. Ordered a side of potatoes and they tasted like they were premade in a chaffing dish and not cooked fresh. Overall the food was good, and the prices for the food are fair. I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. Thank you for the great experience and amazing customer service.

Came here for breakfast today, the place was busy but we were able to get seated right away. Cute little place is decorated with lots of tea cups, hence the name cups cafe. I ordered the Huevos divorciados which is two eggs on a tortilla each one comes in a different sauce, one is red sauce and the other is a green sauce. My favorite was the red. It comes with beans too. I liked that it was not a heavy meal. My husband ordered the traditional eggs Benedict, which are served with aside of potatoes. I was craving something sweet so I ordered a single seasonal pancake . I was looking forward to a good cup of coffee but I was slightly disappointed. The latte was not that good. I could tell that it was bottled vanilla syrup and it lacked the coffee taste. This is more of a food place not a drink or coffee place.

Amazing food and staff. This is my fav place for brunch. My 92 year old mother has enjoyed her birthday brunch two years in a row here. Whenever we have company if we go out , this is the place

I have been to cups many times in my life but today is the day to review our meal! I love the ambiance like you are sitting in a family members clean kitchen! The servers are so helpful and you can always ask anyone for anything without worrying if they are your server or not. We started with chavelas which is a beer with savory spices. Delish!! The ahi tostada was a very large portion you could ask for an extra side of chips! French toast was so comforting and would order it again. Overall love this restaurant and would also recommend their iced coffee ( they give you coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't water down!) 10/10

The wait wasn't too long, and the decor is cute. We enjoyed that huge clock on the wall and the mirrors, cup/mugs, etc. displayed throughout. The inside dining area is spacious, and there's lots of room on the patio, too. Julio was our very helpful and cheerful server. Definitely order the chocolate croissants that are made fresh every Sunday, and the lattes are beautiful. My Chilaquiles with chicken entree was to die for. Ask for different kinds of salsa.

Great food and service. Horchata latte(rice milk) is refreshing drink. The outside patio is a relaxing ambiance for your meal.
