Crema's Take

This beloved neighborhood spot in Belmont Heights draws people in with its irresistible aroma of fresh-baked pastries and breakfast classics—literally worth following your nose for. The Coffee Cup Cafe excels at unhurried mornings where you can linger over Earl Grey tea and standout pancakes (the blueberry are a local favorite) while getting genuinely warm service from staff like Cameron who make you feel like a regular. It's the kind of unpretentious cafe with affordable, satisfying food and a welcoming vibe that makes it a natural gathering place, whether you're a local or visiting town.

My partner and I were talking a stroll down our new neighborhood, and quite literally SMELLED the delicious food before seeing this place. It was almost cartoon-like the way we just followed our feet toward the warm buttery smell of a local diner. We probably got lucky since it was just two of us and spots were available at the counter right when we got in! We sat down, and were greeted right away with a smile and a fresh pot of coffee. Menu is extensive for such a cozy spot! Health is also highlighted in their menu..plenty of options to enhance the menu to your needs. My partner got the turkey omelette sub egg whites, and I got the French toast combo w/ a side of potatoes (10/10). The atmosphere is amazing, and we love businesses that highlight artists as well (you can scan under some of the art displayed to learn more). Service is friendly and efficient. When you walk-in, you get a sense that you’ve been there before. And that’s a very comforting feeling for a first timer (:

Great place for breakfast. I'm vacationing from out of town and I eat here every morning. The waitress, Cameron, is awesome too.

Great little cafe/diner with affordable prices and a pretty big menu. Food is definitely good, and same with the service. Definitely impressed by the prices and options. Only big flaw is they take cash only. They do have an atm but just make sure to bring cash.

Ate here on a Friday morning. Had banana nut pancakes, a side of bacon and earl grey tea. Other patron had french toast with substitute links. Service was friendly. Cute place. Food was just OK to us. That's butter not whip cream on top of the bananas. $38 for decent portions.

This is a great breakfast place in Belmont Heights. The food tastes fresh and good, the variety is guaranteed to satisfy all eaters. The Blueberry pancakes are our favorite, although I have not been disapointed by the scramblers, and the omelettes. This is a cash only place (ATM on premise) with a long wait line during weekends (~20-30 min).
