Cup Cafe

Tucson


Cup Cafe, we like your style: wine-bottle chandeliers, penny-tiled floor and 'Up on Cripple Creek' on the speakers. In the morning (or the afternoon – breakfast is served until 4pm) there's a Creole dish with andouille sausage, eggs, potatoes, buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy; later, try the fresh tuna niçoise or the lettuce-wrapped chickpea fritters with harissa vinaigrette. Excellent coffee.

The Cup is inside the historic Hotel Congress.
