The Cup

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  The Cup is an improvement over the MT Cup, which always seemed in need of a good cleaning. (Those filthy floors: eckkk!!)  The coffee is definitely better, too, and the staff are polite and friendly.  
  
  It still has some room to grow, though:  
  - I'm thrilled to find a place that makes its own bagels, but the Cup's bagels are on the tough side.  They're fine for breakfast, but for a sandwich they're just too much.  I hope the Cup bakers will continue to refine their bagel recipes, and why not offer homemade bread as a sandwich option, too?
  - I was very disappointed to find that carry-out orders are placed in large styrofoam containers.  With a place that is trying to make a statement as hip and cool, why isn't any consideration given to products that are sustainably produced and have a limited impact on the environment?
  - Along those same lines, why not make an even bolder statement by featuring foods that are local and/or sustainably grown or raised?
  
  I'm rooting for the Cup to become THE spot in the Village for good food, coffee, and conversation.  It's not there yet, but it certainly has potential.
