This is a cute neighborhood cafe. It is located next to Patterson Park which makes for a great place to enjoy your tasty food and drink. The prices are a little high, but you are paying for the quality of food and location.

All the kinds of tea! I got BUBBLE TEA (I did NOT expect them to have it), as well as a hot loose leaf tea and tuna on toast. Service was good, it is not assembly line fast, but it's exactly what you would want from a tea shoppe: timely, but not stressed) the propriétaire was super personable, suggesting teas, directing other employees what to do, letting customers know how/when to wait, and bringing out (I don't know if it's a family business, but there was a young man helping out, it looked like he was learning and they were very patient with him. I appreciated that). The tuna on toast was delicious. It's hard to mess up tuna salad, but I don't know what kinds of seasonings they put in..... It was possibly the best tuna salad sandwich I've had, delicious in its simplicity. I almost cannot speak of the cheese sandwich. It was grilled cheese perfection, beautiful melty cheese overflowing the sides, lightly pressed (as ALL respectable cheese sandwiches should be), and crispy crunchy. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend, I will be visiting again :)

I had a fantastic experience at the Culture Cup Cafe! From the moment I walked in, the owner was incredibly welcoming, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax. I tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious and very flavorful, packed with the perfect amount of spice. As for the caramel latte, it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had rich, creamy, and with just the right amount of sweet buttery flavor. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a warm vibe. I’ll definitely be back soon!
