Great specialty coffee, great food. Was there on Monday afternoon 6 July. The one big negative was staffing: there was just one barista working while the shop was entirely full. The barista did AMAZING, but waiting times were too long, all the guests were impacted. There should be at least one additional employee/barista helping out

We had dinner at the Cupp this morning. It was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent; we were first offered a glass of water, coffee recommendations, and were asked several times how it tasted. We had a breakfast table for two, and it was beautifully set. The atmosphere is pleasant, the waitress and barista are friendly, and the service is fast. Also very nice, we received a card with our coffee detailing where it came from, how it tastes, and which season it suits. We would love to come back here again!

such a little gem of a coffee shop! we came here on a saturday afternoon with the hopes of watching arsenal women in their semi final game against lyon on our laptop. there was a designated workbench for people with laptops, overlooking the streets, and a small fee to use the wifi (which we were happy to pay). the lady who served us was incredibly friendly, showing an interest in the game, and allowing us to stay a few minutes past closing until the game finished. not only was the service excellent, but the coffee was too! thanks for such a personable experience.

We had a wonderful high tea! Very different from the standard high teas, much tastier. Delicious things: avocado sandwiches with a poached egg and pulled chicken. The bread itself is also delicious! The pistachio croissant was surprisingly good, not as overpowering and sweet as you might expect. Homemade juice, yogurt with fruit and granola, and various sweets. The coffee is also delicious! Very nice and friendly staff. They came by a few times to ask if everything was to our liking and if we wanted more tea. Because we only ordered one tea, we got a second cup of coffee for free when we paid (we hadn't asked for it), which was very kind. If we had to complain about anything, it could use a bit more cleaning. The windows were very dirty and the fabric-covered chairs had stains. But otherwise, it looks nice and the atmosphere is great. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back!

The atmosphere was fine, but the food and service were a bit disappointing. The two of us had made a reservation for brunch at 11:00. We ordered our first drink at 11:15 and indicated we wanted something to eat, which arrived at 11:35. The coffee had been sitting there for a while because it wasn't hot anymore. Then we took our order at 12:15, received our food at 12:30, and immediately ordered a second cup of coffee. The food was fine, but not prepared with much care. We had the acai bowl ourselves. It was far too runny and had a very dark color. But that was fine, as we were quite hungry by then. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff did apologize for the crowds at the end.

Very disappointed with my experience here. Had ordered a cortado and the barista told me to wait at a table and he would bring it over. Was thinking about ordering and seeing the breakfast options while the cortado was brewing but no one came to my table. Waited for 15 minutes and out of the corner of my eye saw the staff were serving other patrons and completely forgot my order. Moreover, the table where I was sitting at wasn't cleaned up and the last patrons' orders were still at the table, uncollected and no one came to clean the table. The young baristas did apologize when I came up to the coffee bar but it was a little too late by then. Ordered the cortado to go. The least the barista could have done was give the cortado on the house. Have advised all my friends, both Dutch and international, to avoid this place because of this gross negligence

The most lace is ok. The food was mid. I got a breakfast and the cheese on my egg was plastic American kind (no offence USA but the cheese is terrible). The service lady was smilie at least. Especially when she informed me that in order to keep the place cosy they put people with laptops at the front window(with only one plug at the corner). I was not aware that my laptop broke feng shui rules but their cafe their choice I guess. Until you realise: They CHARGE for using your laptop. 2.5€ without informing you prior. Tldr: don’t bother there is another caffe at the next corner.

The coffee is excellent. As soon as you sit down, even before placing your order, they bring you a glass of water. They have their own pastries, and much of what they serve is freshly prepared on the spot once you order. Because of this, the waiting time can be a bit longer, but never too long. On one occasion, after a slightly longer wait, I was even given a free cinnamon roll. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially if you manage to get a table with a bench in the corner.

Had cake and a single espresso. The cake was absolutely terrific. The espresso was lovely also, but there was only one type of beans to choose from. Roasted by local roaster Keen. As a coffee shop that doesn’t roast its own beans, Cupp does a very good job. There were a few bean references from Keen roaster available for sale along with funky beans from a roaster in Amsterdam. If you want a friendly coffee shop and good coffee, this is a perfect spot. If you are a coffee snob and seek more bean choices, maybe aim for roaster Keen’s coffee shops instead.

We often visit specialty coffee shops with good food. However, we were very disappointed here – the coffee was extremely sour, which suggests that the grinder wasn’t properly adjusted. The kitchen also didn’t look very clean. The food didn’t taste good at all – the egg wasn’t fresh and had just been reheated. Unfortunately, we can’t recommend this place.

I recently visited this café and wanted to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, I found the overall appearance of the place to be a bit unkempt. There were used dishes left on some tables, and I even noticed a napkin on the floor, which gave the space a less-than-ideal impression. Additionally, I observed that in the preparation area, there was quite a bit of clutter on the floor, and a plant appeared to be poorly cared for. The staff, however, were very friendly, though the service was somewhat slow. The menu selection was quite varied, offering a good range of options. The dishes I tried were delicious, but I must mention that I found the prices to be very high for what was offered. Additionally, the drinks were served first, which meant they were already empty by the time the food arrived. Overall, while the café has potential, I believe there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of cleanliness, the maintenance of the dining space, and the timing of the service.

A great place to go if you're a coffee lover, like my husband. It has a rich coffee beans menu and a diversity of methods too. It offers cup sessions, which can be really fun for those who love enjoying coffee. I choose the matcha latte, and was great. I didn't love the banan bread and the options of sweets offer, but it seems to me that the strong point of the place is the coffee, so I undestand this isn't a serious problem.

I spent nearly €20 on coffee and drinks because I urgently needed somewhere to sit and work on my PhD thesis. Only after paying did I find out that laptops are apparently only allowed upstairs. Fine except the upstairs area was completely full. So there I was: €20 poorer, carrying my drinks, with plenty of empty seating downstairs, but still not allowed to open my laptop. How exactly am I supposed to know before paying that the only laptop-friendly area has no available seats? I came in as a paying customer, not to occupy a table for free. Instead, I paid premium café prices and ended up with nowhere I was actually allowed to do the work I came there for. If you’re going to have such a restrictive laptop policy, at the very least make it crystal clear before customers order and pay, or provide an alternative when the designated area is full. Honestly, an incredibly frustrating experience especially when you’re under pressure trying to finish a PhD thesis. I basically paid €20 for the privilege of being told I couldn’t use my laptop.
