The owner was working, she was super friendly and cheerful. This is one of the best cafes in Lansing. A local joint you should certainly check out.

The coffee and food were good. However, only having one person to ring up customers and prepare orders caused such a delay in my morning when I just wanted to go in and out. I waited about 25 mins to get my coffees and food. I was a little annoyed that someone that might have been a regular customer/staff friend came after me and received their order first. Maybe they ordered online but still the wait was very long. It’s not the employees fault but, she did need help.

I love this shop! Great baristas and amazing coffee! I'm a regular and enjoy seeing the same baristas on a regular basis. Their coffee is delish! It is small and the seating can be uncomfortable after awhile because of the high tables, but I love stopping in for quick visits!

Great little coffee shop. Will be back! Taking one star away for pretty unfavorable pricing for a 6 or so ounce espresso drink.

We loved it!!! We had tuna melts and pasta salad and they were awesome. Lady working (Said she was from Owosso) was super friendly and made great recommendations on what type of sparkling water drink to have. We are hooked and will be back.

They have good drinks, they have coffee. Plus if your feeling ice cream they have them too. I got a mint and cucumber drink with seltzer my daughter got a cherry coke. First time I tried. I recommend trying.

Didn't even know this small place existed but is sure am glad that I visited it now. What it lacks in size it makes up for with a welcoming environment and some damn good coffee paired with a cinnamon roll or a muffin.

Love being able to get my favorite Soup Spoon soup quickly. Only wish is that the seating would be cozier. Great service every time

The best espresso coffee in EL is in Lansing, right here at this shop. Yes, I should know what is good coffee; I had coffee in Seattle. I would go to the end of the Earth to find good coffee. All the time that I complained why the coffee in all the hipster shops in EL taste like coffee water (read: weak), I didn't know that this gem here exists. Strongly recommend.

Not sure if I got the lemon cup.. but worst cup of coffee I have ever had. Tasted like water and sugar. 🤮🤮

Super friendly staff, fantastically diverse and fun food fare, just overall really great spot for a treat. I'm a big fan of the handmade craft sodas. Lemony lavender mint? Yum!

What a great little coffee and sandwich shop! I was driving home from Frandor, badly in need of some coffee and starving for lunch. I spotted Urban Cup out of the corner of my eye and decided to turn around and check it out. I'm glad I did, what a fun little place. The gal that was working was great too. I had the Bacon - Avocado BLT as a wrap, with Cole slaw, and a Mocha latte. The wrap and coleslaw were fantastic! The coffee was ok, not the best I've ever had but better than Biggby or Starbucks. It's very small inside but a great place to stop in for lunch. They also serve craft sodas that all sounded like they'd be amazing, and Mooville ice cream.
