“ I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Ate here today for the first time with some girlfriends and we all were super pleased from the minute we walked in til the minute we left. Food was fresh and delicious, drinks were AMAZING, vibes, ambiance, and music were spot on, and service was great-shoutout Joseph for the kindness and good hospitality! Cant wait to come back again soon! highly recommend the Korean dumplings, loaded dog, kimchi krunch, and the raspberry white mocha! ”
“ Cozy lil cafe w delicious fresh sustenance. My only critique would be when ordering Matcha make sure you specify whether you want the ceremonial organic, or their sweetened version. I wasn't given any options and unfortunately am not a fan of the sweet stuff. ”
“ I’ve been coming here for a few weeks. The food is immaculate and the coffee is divine. I love the vibe of the space with the art on the wall and the lovely decor and furnishings. Great place to work with much better coffee than Starbucks. When you go, order the CoComocha and the breakfast croissant with Kimchi and sitacha sauce. Believe me. It’s perfect. It’s surprising and it will make you return! Trust that this place is exactly the coffee shop you have been waiting for. Great food and great coffee, amazing staff (father and son) and honestly, my coffee shop dream come true. They often have events each week as well like karaoke, Latin night, paint and sip, etc. ”
“ Love love LOVE everything we ordered here! I will absolutely be back for their korean bowls especially. The vibe of the place is so cute too! Props to the owner, he is amazing and so nice! Highly recommend! ”
“ Surprising ambiance!! Great options for coffee, whether you want something traditional, or something with a bit of a kick to it with a bit of alcohol. This place also has plenty of chances for post ready photos. The coffee i had was delicious, i tried the White Chocolate Toffee, The Breakfast Croissant was perfect, savory flavors my only complaint is that I didn't grab two!! Stop by and try this place out it even offers some Korean dishes as well!! Don't take my word for it stop by let me know your thoughts!! ”
“ Got the Seoul Train bowl without sriracha sauce and with this sweet carrot sauce, also got the southwest bowl, and an iced raspberry white mocha - the bowls were so good and surprised us, we were definitely filled - Was never told we were supposed to pour sauce then shake it but it still tasted good! - can’t wait to go back! - if it was in a better location I know it would do even better ”
“ What’s not to like! There’s lots of comfy seating, really unique coffees, and fusion food! The rotating art is gorgeous and the staff are so kind and helpful. I’ve yet to go to their dance events but it’s on my bucket list. ”
“ A Cozy Coffee Spot with Amazing Lattes, Muffins, and Local Art I recently visited High Cup and had an amazing experience. Their latte was spot-on—smooth, rich, and perfectly foamed, making each sip a delight. Paired with their crumb cake muffin, which was moist and buttery with a sweet, crunchy topping, it was the perfect treat. Beyond the great coffee and pastries, what really makes this place special is its support for local artists. The walls are lined with beautiful artwork for sale, giving the space a creative and welcoming vibe. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy a great cup of coffee while appreciating the local art scene. The friendly baristas, cozy atmosphere, and artistic touch make this coffee shop a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back! Rating: ”
