The Cupping Room Cafe is one of those places that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. I stumbled upon this adorable little brunch spot while looking to grab a bite before a day of shopping in SoHo and boy am I glad I did. The wait for 2 was about 10 minutes around 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon because the place was packed! the interior is extremely warm with exposed brick, animal art, and a sky light if you're seated towards the back of the restaurant. The menu isn't huge or anything to write home about- but what they do serve, they do well. I got a simple 2 eggs sunny side up with a side of bacon (and by side I mean 5 huge strips of bacon), and a side of home fries. The brunch was excellent as was their iced coffee! All though as we were leaving I noticed a bunch of people with Bloody Mary's that looked fab. It's a great place to take out-of-towners if you're in the area.
PS- Major points for setting the table with both tabasco and sriracha, for all you hot sauce fans out there.
Cupping Room cafe is a solid brunch spot – nothing too zany or exciting, but overall good.
Very cozy environment and great Soho location.
Their gluten free waffle isn't mind blowing but hey – being able to order a waffle is a treat on its own!
Our server – however – gets huge bonus points for asking if I wanted my bacon crispy or regular. Small detail that makes a huge difference – and sparked a lively debate about crispy bacon amongst my friends. (I personally prefer my bacon a bit chewier, alas)
Highly recommend for lunch – they always have amazing salads, sandwiches and a plethora of breakfast options they serve until 5pm. The service is super friendly – if not a little slow – but I never mind because it gives me more time to catch up with who I'm dining with. Dinner was tasty – much smaller menu but additional daily specials that all sounded yummy. I had the salmon – very tasty. Overall really solid, dependable choice!
I took to Trip Advisor to look up some great places to eat while visiting the lovely city of New York and Cupping Room was a top suggestion for brunch. Absolutely worth it! I'd made a reservation online so I didn't have to deal with the wait that would've been a part of my visit had I not had one. However for those that waited, it appeared they were seated in no time.
I decided to go with the French Toast Orgy – yummy brioche french toast, with just the right amount of sweetness accompanied by a fruit medley, syrup and your choice of whip cream, sour cream, or ice cream. It took everything in my soul not to go with the ice cream and choose whip cream. *sigh* I also ordered the house potatoes which were small pieces of potatoes cooked with onions and peppers. Perfect accompaniment! The service was lovely and the environment of a small, quaint cafe along a cobblestone road was even better.
Note: I'm only giving Cupping Room 3 stars because I've been going there for many many years now and finding the same unchanging menu it has become tiring and uninspired to me. My favorite is their French Toast stuffed with cream cheese and nuts with fresh fruit on the side. I've had this at least a dozen times over the course of a decade so unfortunately any good thing becomes blase.
However, if you've never been there before it is a rock solid choice for brunch in Soho.
Who knows that brunch place turns into a live jazz & blue music bar at night. And the bonus is the cute bartender & waitress that dance with music and know their wines. Also there should s a cool vampire looking guy wears a cape reading a Japanese book next to me. A fun chill place for Friday night if you are just wondering around in Soho.
Nice atmosphere, seems to be a popular restaurant.
Prices were a bit high for the amount of food served, however the quality is good.
I had the Eggs, Bacon and Waffle combo.
The waffle was excellent and the bacon was also better than usual for a Breakfast restaurant. The eggs were a little bit inconsistent but this did not have a terribly negative effect on my experience.
This is a cute place to go for brunch. Their French toast was really good as was their eggs florentine. There is a decent amount of seating and cute portraits displayed around by local artists which I thought was cute. While service was a bit slow, if you have the time and want some real comfort food for brunch – this is the place to come to.
