The owner, Phil, can micromanage a bit much at times, his tenseness messing an otherwise leisurely vibe, but it’s still the best place to buy and sit with your coffee downtown. More comfortable than the Starbucks’s or Handlebar.

I always enjoy my lattes here and at my last visit also enjoyed the avocado toast. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Nice place to grab a bite and have a cup of coffee while reading a book!

This business closed in Nov 21 according to the SB Restaurant guy article. This was a cute cafe, but sadly what once was a lovely little patio by the theatre is full of garbage and encampment items. Maybe someone can bring it back.

The Good Cup is unfortunately not very good. Their drip coffee tastes like beans that were roasted a year ago, sat on a warehouse shelf for an eternity and then were horribly burnt in the brewing process. Maybe their espresso is better? Idk. If you have functioning taste buds you’re much better off going to Blue Owl, spending $0.25 more for coffee that’s locally roasted by Low Pigeon and tastes like someone cared about it.

Dragon Ginger tea was to die for. Sugar free syrup offerings need to be updated, but absolutely delicious. The staff in this coffee shop are very quick and courteous professionals. Prices were good too.

Just a quiet, friendly place to get away from the snobby hustle going on at any given time on upper State. Good location, polite, down to Earth employees, excellent coffee offered in cup sizes that actually exist.
Good place to rest my tired legs while the women shopped across the street.

I was feeling nauseous and "the cure" sign caught my curiosity. I had 2 large ginger drinks and BAAM!! Back to normal. It's Amazing and very tasty.

I've been frequenting Good Cup on and off, had a swath of the menu. The light roast drip coffe, chai latte, and pour over coffe being stand outs that you should try. But the reason I would recommend this store is because of the baristas and servers. Every time I've gone I've had thoughtful and considerate service, and everyone really wants customers to have a great experience at the Good Cup. Stop on by for a cup of coffee, and stick around for chill vibes and you'll see what I mean. Mad recommend, and I havent evened mentioned the gelato and kombucha.
