    Beautiful coffee and great customer service. I also bought some beans from them that I'm using in my aeropress at home - and they have been very tasty.

    After reading all the reviews I had very high expectations for this coffee, but It was very average coffee when I had it, the coffee was just a bit too bitter and service was average. The shop fitout is really good thou.

    A very Good local cafe.. Well set up, funky chairs and bar benches to sit at. Can bring a big group or just have coffee for 2. Very open feel.

    Several food options, from light to medium meals. I have had tuna bagel and the ham and poached eggs, both have been OUTSTANDING in... Read more

    Huzzah to the Barista! Huzzah! Every other cafe in town needs to visit this garage to see how beans are meant to be treated.

    I've been here three or four times now since arriving back in Australia 12 months ago, and I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed. The coffee is still very good (although I've had significant fluctuations), but the service has significantly dropped. I really love this place, but just hope... Read more

    Easily one of the best cafes in Brisbane. I often get their beans posted to me so I can use them at home here in Melbourne.

    Well, it's been a while since I was at West End and I certainly made sure that when I was....I was heading for Cup to get a coffee. I was out of beans too...so it was perfect timing.

    Only 15 minutes before closing time and the guys were absolutely happy to make more coffees. ... Read more

    One of the best in Brisbane. It's been a while since I've been here, and there has been time big changes; the addition of the 1+1 to the menu is brilliant. Pretty standard menu items, except for the trout. The French toast with strawberry's, blood orange, and mascarpone was very nice along with the... Read more

    Man it was a hot day when we visited. Too hot for coffee really. Service was quick and coffees came out pretty quick. Piccolo was good. Can't remember if it was single origin or not.

    Single origin espresso - Santa Rita, Columbia. Flat white - house blend. Both came out perfect. Poached eggs were good too. Sweet vibe and nice wall art. With 150 positive reviews you can see this is an established spot for top coffee

    Ok I must say I still love their coffee but today I had a coffee and my partner had hot chocolate. The coffee was good but the hot chocolate was terrible!!!!

    Seriously with such a shop as they have they should be able to make a decent hot chocolate. Will not be back for a hot chocolate... Read more

    This is my 3rd cup experience. Today the coffee was somewhat burnt but otherwise ok. Like the atmos and food; just seems that sometimes the barista is not as good as you'd hope.

    I turned up here 3 weeks ago after seeing some good reviews and to be honest I was blown away. Amazing flavour, coffee, texture, food was high quality....and all this 15 minutes from home. I came back 2 days later and thought same. Since then my experience has been somewhat wanting. The last 2-3... Read more

    Everyone in the biz seems to talk about it so I had to visit......don't know if I should have (sorry guys). It is obvious that this is a serious coffee house just check out the roaster but you have to get over the coffee geek stuff and serve up coffee for the punters.

    I love my... Read more
