Solid place to eat, solid pancakes, I think they might've been gluten free or something, could hardly tell. Tasty. Did not love the sausage, not savory or spicy, more of a sweet sausage. Cute spot seems good for a quick meet up or doing some work.

We waited for a carry out order for 40 minuets and the bacon was soggy and we were missing a bunch of items. We use to like this place a lot, but this last experience made us not want to ever go back.

Definitely not what I was expecting for a place boasting "all day brunch" or an "all day bar", but it was a great cafe that happened to alcohol in the fridge if you want some. My food was really good (berry French toast with a couple breakfast sides) and the portion sizes were decent. My blueberry lemonade mimosa left more to be desired since they just dropped a few whole blueberries in a flute or regular lemonade and project. If you want a nice coffee shop with plenty solid full meal options, this is a great spot, but wouldn't be a first choice if you're looking for an actual brunch spot.

I absolutely love Cupitol and I wish I could give 5 stars, and I’m not just because it closes at 4pm. It’s such a great place for coffee and food, I love going there for an afternoon coffee and snack, and usually I go at around 3/3:30, but then when you sit down to eat it’s already time to leave and it’s sad because I wish I could stay longer. I think that for all the options of food and coffee they have they should stay open until a little bit later (5 for example), but it’s just a suggestion. I still love the place 🥰

Within 15 minutes of sitting down after ordering a coffee, I was told I would have to move from my table because I was using my laptop. I understand needing to have open tables for people who are ordering food, and sitting at a table for 2 hours after only ordering a coffee can prevent that, but I should be allowed to do whatever I want for the 30-45 minutes while I finish my drink. Solid breakfast sandwich though.

Super super busy spot. Interesting to see the mgmt ask someone who was merely working on laptop without food or drink to move along though.

The restaurant is super tiny and cramped, especially with how busy it was. The food was decent at best. The cashiers were struggling with taking orders and seemed not to be aware of what's on the menu but they were super nice and apologetic.
I do not see myself returning here and it wouldn't be a spot I would recommend to others.

I grabbed a coffee (which was just ok) here and sat down with my laptop. In about 30 minutes, someone came and asked me if they could “move me to the lounge” since I had my laptop open. I know they have some policy around laptops being in the lounge and tables being for dine-in, but it was quite off-putting to be ushered around in a space in front of other diners even though I was dining in. I personally won’t be coming back because that really ticked me off as a paying customer. I’d prefer to give my business to a place where I can drink my coffee in peace without being asked to move.

Order a chicken blt, the bacon is low quality. 15 dollars for a rubbery sandwich, save your money or go elsewhere unless all you want is coffee.
Very good coffee. Good breakfast but very rich in calories.

Delicious! Mascarpone French toast was amazing. Kids stole my husband’s Steak and eggs and loved the hot chocolate.

Good taste and quantity on the food, service sucks and the place is ample and relaxing.

Came here for breakfast after seeing good reviews. I was pretty disappointed, especially for what we paid. You order at the bar and sit down. The service was very quick overall. I got a berry smoothie with some add ons. They definitely forgot the add ons, which were pretty steep $2 each. The chai latte was surprisingly bad too, it was so watery and had very little flavor to the point I wondered if they forgot the chai concentrate. The Belgian waffle was standard and good, came out quick. The pecan roll was so dense it was not good at all. If they had heated it up, it may have been better, but was very difficult to finish as is. After spending $50 here together, this was an extremely disappointing experience

It was my first time here. I was here with friends. My friend wanted French toast but they didn't have them. He had a hard time finding something they did have. My friend had rice with yellow curry and shrimp, the rice was a little hard and it needed salt. I had a burger, it was okay. They both got specialty coffees and both were just warm, not hot. You have to pay and order at the counter and they bring the food to you but nothing else.
