Potatoes are wonderful!
Loved the decaf cold brew with coffee ice cubes.
Lobster Benedict good, but I would've preferred the lobster not breaded.

The alliteration brought me here. The cool vibe, decent enough food & nice service kept me there.
ITEM'S ORDERED:
Chilaquiles
Shrimp Frittata
Blood Mary
TASTE:
Both dishes tasted fine enough, but I do think they could have used more flavor overall.
I did not notice (until now) the Chilaquiles comes with either red or green sauce. They just gave me red sauce & I think getting both sauces would have made the dish much better. I'm a big fan of queso fresco & the salt flavor it brings so I enjoyed how they gave a good amount of it. The portion was quite large & with the over hard egg on top of it all, the dish stayed quite hot. The chips were thicker & able to hold up in the dish. I'd actually get this again but would need a well made salsa to go with it.
The Shrimp Frittata is definitely one of the nicer brunch dishes I've seen. It's not the usual frittata & basicallyround shaped scrambled eggs on top of potatoes. The shrimp were decent sized & seemed fresh. The dish looks really flavorful as it sits in the red chipotle tomato sauce, but I do think it could use more seasoning, since tasted too "light" in the chipotle aspect & more heavy in just tomato.
Overall both dishes for me could have been improved with some more aggressively flavored sauces. Something to bring more savory & heat. But thats for my palate, I could see many people enjoying these as is.
The Bloody Mary was alright. I've had better but also worse for sure. It was strong in the alcohol aspect which I of course enjoyed. I do like my Bloody Mary more spicy so I added some extra Tabasco & black pepper. It could have used some horseradish as well.
SERVICE:
They were very busy on a Sunday afternoon on Labor Day weekend. I think me & the gf had to wait maybe 30 min for a table. As soon as I pulled up I saw many parties waiting for tables. The host was very kind & our server was fine as well.
I did notice that if you didn't mind sitting outside you could get a table right away, just FYI. But no way I wanted to eat in 110 degree weather even if there was shade.
Also, I'm pretty sure this place does not take reservations, but I could be wrong.
LOCATION & PARKING
The interior is very "cute" with the mirrors on the wall, cup clock & other design elements. There's a fair amount of tables inside, more than you'd think from looking at the place from outside. & there's maybe even more tables available outside.
They are located off Country Club drive in a plaza with lots of available parking.
I liked the design of the place & I'd like to try something else out here so I'm open to coming back.
Cheers!

Cups is a charming Cafe. Our server was equally charming and the four of us enjoyed our meals. I loved my Lox and Bagel. Presentation of the meals was also appealing. Cups only serves breakfast and lunch. They close at 2 p.m. If you get a chance to eat there I think I can guarantee a great meal from a menu with really good selections. Indoor and outdoor dining available.

Great first time experience. We showed up around 11am on Sunday, so it was busy...but it was only 15 minutes wait. Our waiter, Moises, was quick and very helpful. Eggs Benedict and Flat Iron steak & eggs were excellent. Entrees came out of the kitchen in a few minutes. COUNTRY POTATOES were homemade, hot, well seasoned with crispy seared edges. They get the basics and attention to details right.
Such a nice change from so many other restaurants.
I'd love them even more if they were also open for dinner.

This place was super cute! The portions were huge and my plate was awesome! Service was a bit slow but it was a holiday so that may be why
