Was recommended by friends to try this place and was not disappointed. Our server was extremely nice, the food was excellent and the atmosphere that the hotel provides was great. The kids menu is also really convenient if you have kids.
I went here on two separate nights; once for dessert and drinks and once for dinner.
The food is delicious, especially the Heartbreaker appetizer. The pistachio raspberry cheesecake is light, flavorful, mousse-like, and the slice is very generous. The Ghost Orchid cocktail is an excellent accompaniment.
The atmosphere is delightful, but it can run a little loud both inside and outside, and especially if there is live music playing. But it’s a wonderful restaurant that’s perfect for an evening out.
Cup Café...makes me want a plate of gnocchi just thinking about this place! We had an absolutely delicious meal here, and I’m still singing the praises of the chef, for the mushroom duxelle on that stuffed-chicken dish. Our table also enjoyed the pork schnitzel and the desserts (coffee cake and coconut-cream pie). We were on the patio for an incredibly hot monsoon evening, and a staff member went out of his way to stop and move an umbrella closer to us, to avoid raindrops, and also to point the air-cooler in our direction (without our even wanting to ask, since he was busy and also juggling a stack of glasses). Our server was excellent too, tending the table at just the right pace, and everyone on the team made us feel invited to be there. The food is fantastic, as is the historic location, but it’s this kind of welcoming, attentive service that shines most of all and will keep us coming back time and again.
My husband and I stopped at Cup Cafe for an impromptu breakfast while on a brief trip in Tucson. The service was by far the best we received in the city, and the architecture and vibe of the building itself was full of history but not fussy. The service was prompt, but not rushed, thanks Colin for your impeccable hospitality. The latte was well crafted and pricing was extremely reasonable. I ordered the Cast Iron Baked eggs which was extremely rich and decadent, accompanied with the house made strawberry jam on their sourdough- truly was chef’s kiss! My husband ordered the Braveheart skillet. The brisket was well seasoned, without being overly heavy. The portions were enough to share, but worth trying multiples. This stop was truly a highlight in our trip!
We found Cup Cafe after searching dog friendly patios and we were very happy that even on a relatively hot day we had plenty of shade for our Sunday brunch. There was a fairly long wait but we were able to wait outside in a shady area. We had a steak salad and cuban sandwich and everything was plentiful and delicious. We especially loved the service. Everyone was so friendly! Would definitely go back on our next trip through Tucson.
Good food, excellent service and atmosphere. Enter through the main building center doors. Cafe is in the back of the building which is shared with the hotel, bar, and radio station. Very cool space.
I had the barrio toast with add on of bacon. The avacado recipe can be updated. It is too thin and too limey thus impacting the hold up on the toast when it arrives to the customer. Also the tomato quality could be better. I did love the salad! It was light fresh and the perfect addition!
HIGHLY recommend coming here for breakfast!! Not only was the service great, they were fast and very friendly. Food and coffee were out of this world!
I've only had their dinners and desserts, but have yet to have anything that wasn't delicious! a bit pricey but worth it, great place for a romantic date
Nice cafe inside a historic hotel. Had the Huevos Rancheros, not quite the typical Mexican way but very good nonetheless. My only issue were the heaters turned all the way up on a nice warm Saturday morning.
