Cup Cafe

This cozy little restaurant is located at the Congress Hotel. We sat in the courtyard with heaters and a local live band playing in the background.....I have extremely bad food allergies and our our waiter, Eddie is immaculate in his detail.He went back to the kitchen to ask the chef to make sure twice, that my food was safe to consume.The New York strip was amazing and so is the beef chili. The manager Jordan came out to make sure my food was fabulous.Go check out this restaurant I highly recommend it !!! Reservations is pretty much needed....popular place.

What a cute little cafe located just inside the lobby of the Hotel Congress. They share a patio area too so you can sit inside or out. The cafe has a wall of what I will call truths. It's a fun read but don't take it too seriously.The service is spot on. We were checked up on frequently and even the owner came by to make sure our food was good. The food was excellent! I got the chilaquiles which was delicious. It was ample for just one person. Probably not a share worthy dish. It was served in a cast iron mini skillet which I had never seen before. I was able to substitute potatoes for fruit. The potatoes were baked to perfection and seasoned well. Most brunch items are $16-$25 price range which is typical these days.Parking is street parking or a nearby garage. If it's the weekends the street parking is free if you can find a spot.The cafe has an excellent display of desserts that just look amazing. I'm going to have to come back for that.The wait was about 20 min once we got our names on the list. There is a bar across from it that you can just sit down at or go for a walk or hang in the courtyard. They will text your phone when they are ready for you.My only complaint is a minor one but not enough to reduce a star. When you get the bill there are two tips you have to decide on. One is for the wait staff of which I typically give 20% but also another tip for the cook staff of which was $2 minimum suggestion. I've been hemming and hawing over how to deal with this situation. Do I split the 20% across both of them. Do I give a total of what they recommend and the 20%? Kinda feels awkward to me.

From the rotating old fashioned dessert display to the garden patio, Cup Cafe is a sensory delight.Enjoyed the accommodating staff, eclectic menu and wonderful hustle bustle of urban life. The Depot $21.00 was large and tasty with grilled flank steak, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, shaved parmesan cheese, avocado, smoked crispy onions, and house-made roasted shallot dressing.Mission Street Tacos $13.00crispy pork belly, jalapeño aioli, jicama slaw, OJ-pickled jalapeños (too hot for me though I liked the citrus flavor) and almost translucent local flour tortillas.The only negative-the heater closest to our table did not work, but the staff made every effort to fix the heater.

I came here last Wednesday, and everything was so much better this time. I loved the Honeysuckle Daiquiri, though the Sonoran Solstice was too bitter for my taste. The calamari was excellent--perfectly cooked and flavorful. The Salmon Caprese was absolute perfection, served with a risotto that I surprisingly loved, even though I don't usually enjoy risotto. It was the perfect accompaniment. However, I didn't care for the Stuffed Chicken Gnocchi. Overall, a much-improved experience, and I'll definitely be back!

I've been here a few times. The food is good though I tend to get the same few items. I prefer breakfast at cup cafe compared to their lunch/dinner options. The dessert is incredible and they have a lot of options. If you sit outside on the patio and there's live music going on, you'll have an extra enjoyable experience. The service tends to be good too.

Went here for dinner during our day trip & had a great time. Entree, gnocchi, was ok but the wine was smooth and the coconut cream pie (per my boy Brandon's rec) was real real delicious. Felt like a very date-y place and would happily come back here with my Fiance. But also the bathroom is wild LOL shared urinal is crazy tbh

Excellent breakfast! Over-easy eggs done perfectly. So were the potatoes. Good coffee friendly efficient service. Overall - Exceptional!

Let me start by saying that I love the Cup, love sitting outside on the patio, love the vibe, casual, comfortable, sorta chic!But, you know when you read the description of an item on the menu and it sounds so good that your mouth is already ready? That was the Tucson Dip. Unfortunately, the house smoked brisket was dry and the other ingredients of the sandwich were lost in over warmed mess. There was no taste of the creamy horseradish; the crispy onions were seemingly nonexistent; and the cheddar cheese was only evident as a greasy yellow puddle. The bakery roll was very tasty but couldn't hold the slimy interior, leaving the sandwich ingredients mostly on the plate. I would advise not to bother, plenty of other really good choices! Our server was great, responsive cheerfully to requests. It is always a good experience at the Cup.

We had a great time getting Sunday brunch. We got a couple bloody marys from the blood Mary bar. Delicious! We then had a late breakfast- the two eggs with potatoes and toast and added the flank steak. Overall, really good! The house made jam was a hit! We sat outside as it was a beautiful January day and that was great. There was a school of rock show setting up so that was cool to hear. The service was okay, we had to remind a bit for things we ordered but the waiter was pleasant and responsive when reminded. Can't wait to go again and try the mimosa bar. Cheers!

Overall had a very nice meal here. We came for dinner and enjoyed the ambiance of the terrace as well as the service. The food was tasty all around, although I think this spot is more popular for breakfast and might be more impressive then. It was a solid meal, though nothing that particularly blew me away. Next time, I'd try breakfast as I think that's really the feather in their cap.
