Where to Eat and Drink on a Day Trip to Boulder City

"Featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” this famous coffee house is known for its food as much as its coffee from Colorado River Coffee Roasters, perfect when paired with the freshly baked cinnamon roll, served with a large scoop of butter." - Agnes Poliquin, Janna Karel

"This family-owned coffee shop got its start in 1994 and it has since evolved into the Coffee Cup, a locals’ favorite that gained an international following after a feature on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

"The Coffee Cup in Boulder City. It's not the fanciest place, but it has the vibe of 'America' and what I love about this country. It's a great change of scenery and a nice little escape from the hustle and bustle of Vegas, but still so close to home." - Susan Stapleton

We have been coming here for more years than we care to remember and have always been pleased with the quality/quantity of food as well as the exceptional service. This café is in the heart of the old town of Boulder City and is a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch, closes at 1400 hours daily. The food portions will be able to satisfy the hungriest of your group and most will need a “dog bag” to take with you. The staff is another important aspect, and this place never misses the mark, with some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. As for the atmosphere, well just look at the photos we have included to get your answer. We will continue to come here whenever we can and highly recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. However, if you do not get there early, be prepared to wait for a table because this place can get very busy at times. The only drawback to this location can be the parking situation, which is limited around the restaurant, but it should not discourage you from coming here, trusted us, it is worth the effort.

What a fun place and the food was delicious! It was crowded but we were seated quickly and the servers were very friendly. I ordered what I thought was a small meal but there are no small meals! The eggs were cooked as ordered, as was the bacon, and the biscuits and gravy were some of the best I've had. Looking around at other orders, pancakes were piled high with fruit, burritos were bulging, and everything looked so good. We were traveling through but will definitely go again when in the area.

If you visit Hoover Dam, do yourself and have breakfast or lunch at The Coffee Cup Cafe in Boulder City. If you’re coming from Vegas, skip the freeway that goes around Boulder City - it’s a short compromise but you’ll thank me if you have a meal in this cute little town. We had brunch here before visiting Hoover Dam and it was great!

It has a classic diner vibe with a very friendly home town kind of feeling. We were seated within a few minutes of our arrival and spent some time looking over the extensive menu. We learned one of their house specialties was the corned beef hash and our served, when asked, said she likes it crispy. I ordered the “Short on cash” plate - 1 pancake, 1 strip of bacon and 1 egg and a side of their corned beef hash (crispy). My wife ordered the waffle with banana along with the corned beef hash and 2 eggs. The food was delicious, prices very reasonable, and service was very good. I have no hesitation recommending a meal at the Coffee Cup Cafe.

Fourth time here and service remains poor. I don’t get it. Food was pretty alright but the quality has definitely declined over the years. Something is definitely different than Precovid. We were able to sit after the girl rang out a few patrons but then sat there for a solid 20 minutes prior to anyone coming to the table. Then, we had to beg for a server a few times after that and we are pretty low maintenance people. Our soft drinks were mixed up so we both had a blend of Dr Pepper and Diet Coke and that took a while to get corrected, too. I miss the days of a big beautiful Bloody Mary with fresh leafy stalks of celery and a big thick piece of bacon.

A MUST SEE true gem of the "old days". Spectacular displays of kitschy memorabilia spanning all genres from over 30 years of serving breakfasts and lunches. Open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. so get there early!!!! FABULOUS ham and cheese melt on fried toast with terrific creamy coleslaw!!!!!

Hands-down the best breakfast restaurant in Boulder city. Immortalized on the famous show diners drive-ins and dives, the venue here does not disappoint. Affordable dishes and delectable selections await you in this local dive. The walls are covered in memorabilia from sports in the Mojave desert as well as license plates all over the country especially the locals. Historic surfboards and water skis accompany pictures of families and athletes on the lake in the surrounding desert. Feel free to bring a sticker to add to the exterior façade. It’s covered in stickers from all over the world but could always use one more. If this review makes you stop in, make sure you tell him Holmes from Desert Adventures sent you there. If you’re in town for a few days be sure to look up Desert Adventures for all your guided or unguided tours of the Mojave desert and the Colorado river as well as rental gear for excursions in the wilderness.

If you haven't been there, you need to go! It's my favorite breakfast joint. There is a wait on the weekends anywhere up to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your group. I would recommend not exceeding a group size of 6 on most days. On weekends, we stick to a party of two and relax outside with a most delicious Bloody Mary and talk to strangers until we're called. Singles and two's get seated faster if you accept first availability of a table or counter. The server staff are all super helpful, attentive and welcoming. The food is very unique and you will have to decide which one is your favorite , only after several visits!

I don't know that a 4-star review is fair, but because we hardly ever go, I don't think it's 5 stars. But you should go and eat at the Coffee Cup. Hear me out. Don't be swayed by the Diners Drive Ins and Dives stuff, that's so 2010 or later. The place lives up to its OWN reputation. It's very busy, often a long wait, but who wants to eat at an empty restaurant? They have booze and day drinking is always fun right? Food is great, busy loud fun vibe. I like sitting up at the breakfast bar. I just don't know why we don't patronize it more. So that's why the 4 stars and we live in BC. Maybe I'll pop in again soon and see if I'm missing something. Perhaps its the touristy weekend crowds? The food is bomb, huge menu and great vibe. Try it, you'll like it, maybe even love it.

Another place I got a chance to try that was on dinner, drives & dives. We had just done a Hoover's damn tour. This place was recommended by my husband aunt. They have a wide variety of food. You can tell this is a local spot. The prices were extremely reasonable. They server Pepsi which is a plus for my husband.

Three of us came here on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend prepared to wait. And we did wait, a little more than an hour but we weren't upset about it. You can order drinks while you wait! It's the perfect morning cafe feel and style. Everything seemed reasonably priced and portion sizes were good. Service was acceptable but again they were packed and turning and burning. No time for chit chat! Started with an amazing cinnamon roll and the three of us had a fork fight for the last bite! The "short on cash" is hilarious and perfect for a light eater and cheap! Eggs cooked as ordered. Bacon was nice and crispy. Food was perfect cafe food, exactly how we pictured it for a lazy Sunday morning. Coffee was good and plentiful though I had to ask for refills, but again they were booming! 100% will be back and use this place as an excuse to come out to Boulder City!

My husband and I watched the episode with Guy Fieri from Diners Drive in's and Dives from The Food Network channel with The Coffee Cup. Our interest was piqued and we pined to try this iconic restaurant. There was a wait but it was worth it. We loved the food, it was fresh and hot. The service was great and the atmosphere busy with a lot of people eating. It's a nice place to visit and enjoy a meal. I am glad we went. We will return in the future.

This is a cute downtown spot! It's small but mighty! Open for breakfast and lunch only. The dog was delicious and had a few unique items like the chili dog wrap that I had. It was good and exactly what the title implies. Service was quick and pleasant.

THREE G's - Great food, great service great prices. First time here definitely coming back again - although maybe not on a Saturday because we did have to wait about 45 minutes for a table but the people watching was great. Plus Boulder City had a cute little downtown! Upon seating, a young gal took our drink order immediately and then our waitress came by soon after to take our order. We shared a chili verde omelette. It was delicious! It came with tasty home fries and a nice hearty piece of toast. We also ordered a fruit cup. They have two options for fruit and it was a nice cup for only $3. We also shared a waffle. It was just okay; typical waffle. The place has interesting decor with a fun vibe. Really enjoyed it all!

I love this little ma and pop joint. It's a cute hosh posh vibe. Definitely prepare yourself for a wait. But go to the bar and enjoy yourself. There's plenty of seating outside to enjoy your drink before you eat. The service is always friendly. The menu is pretty big and so are the portions so if you go away hungry that's a you problem. The food is delicious. We had a couple of different sandwiches and also some pancakes. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's definitely worth the drive from Vegas. We will absolutely be coming back!

For an area that doesn't have much dining choices, the coffee cup stands out, not only because it was featured on the Food Network but because their food speaks for itself. Great options that delivers on taste. There's a bar with options for some drinks but don't expect a boozy brunch as much as an enjoyable meal. The service is alright, nothing too noteworthy though it was a packed and busy place so expect some wait. The vibe is small town diner with good home cooked food and relaxed casual meal with your neighbors. Also, the grungy, dive bar look is a vibe.

My husband and I come every other Sunday for breakfast and I get the same thing (carne asada burrito) each time! I'd love to try the amazing other items, but this burrito is toooo good to not have every time! The salsa is also amazing and I wish they sold it! The prices are great, everyone who works there is super attentive, friendly and fun to talk to! The ambience is very beachy and homey. I love it. I take everyone who comes to visit us! 10/10

Day one was a thirty minute wait for a table. Day two (Saturday morning) was only a ten minute wait. This place is touted as having great breakfasts, and obviously, since we returned two days in a row, we had no complaints. Although there wasn't a dish to rave about, and between the four of us, we had eight different breakfasts, I can't say there was any one dish that stood out. They have a huge menu and serve a lot of people and everything we are was good.... It's just not great. Solid four stars, you won't regret waiting.

Nostalgic. Monumental. Experiential. I have been going to the Coffee Cup cafe since I was a kid. And any and all Boulder City visits must include a trip to my favorite breakfast spot. The drop coffee keeps coming. The staff is always the best and most on-point. Their menu items are traditional and flavorful. If you're expecting fancy schmancy, this isn't the spot for you. If you want to go to one of the most renowned and celebrated coffee cafe with good eats, good vibes, tons of badass decor, and great food - here's your spot. Make sure you show up early and get on the list. There's usually a wait, and you'll know why. Best

Worth the wait. We came here on a Saturday around 12;30pm. Was told it'll be 30mins wait. It was about 20mins and as there's a menu outside, we knew what we wanted before sitting down. Fun looking restaurant, inside and out. If you just want a drink without waiting, there's a bar on the back of the restaurant to the left side. $8 for a mimosa and it was in a large plastic cup. Definitely was more like 2 glasses of mimosas. The portions were huge and good are great. All made to order. Amazing service from the waitress and the support staff. Checked on us a few times and always got what we needed. The melts are so worth the money as well. Will definitely come back.

Brief Review: Despite being a bit busy, the service was excellent, and the food was enjoyable. Personally, I found the gravy a bit bland and the ranch not very firm. While not exactly to my taste, it wasn't bad at all. On the other hand, the chili dog burrito was both unique and well-executed, delivering exactly the kind of flavor you'd expect. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this place whenever I'm in the area; the overall experience was fantastic. Coming from the east, this visit was truly refreshing and heartwarming. The small-town atmosphere is so strong that you can almost forget you're in the desert. The place was bustling, yet it's surrounded by charming little shops to explore. Arriving early on a bike run, we only had to wait around 30 minutes, which was quite manageable given the crowd. Despite placing separate orders, the food came out relatively quickly. The service was top-notch from everyone, and I particularly appreciated that other staff members were proactive in assisting when needed, a touch I personally liked. Our waiter was more than accommodating, willingly splitting the check a few times and processing our payment promptly. My experience was wonderful, even though some elements like the gravy and ranch didn't match my preferences. However, I can understand why others might enjoy them. Overall, I highly recommend giving them a try. They've truly captured the essence of a hometown breakfast spot. ------{Service}------ [ ] Amazing [X] Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Speed}------ [ ] Amazing [ ] Great [X]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Selections}------ [ ] Amazing [ ] Great [X]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Decor}------ [ ] Amazing [X] Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Location}------ [ ] Amazing [X] Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Ambience}------ [ ] Amazing [X]Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Parking}------ [ ] Amazing [X] Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible ------{Pricing}------ [ ] Amazing [X] Great [ ]Average [ ] Bad [ ]Horrible

Hubby & I tried The Coffee Cup after getting the recommendation from a Boulder City native & it certainly did not disappoint. Hubby had 3 eggs, sausage links & hash browns. I had their breakfast tacos (Taco Tuesday Special) talk about large portions!! And No, I did not finish my meal only finished 1 taco but now have lunch for later. Everything was perfectly delicious from our meals to the coffee. All the staff we chatted with were friendly & courteous. We were there about 1130 & the place was packed, to be seated immediately we chose the counter seating. The food came out pretty quick especially when you consider how busy they were. Absolutely loved this old school diner.

I was in Boulder City for a quick day trip and wanted some breakfast. This establishment came up on Yelp as one of the top breakfast spots. At 830AM there was already a pretty decent wait so I knew this place had to be good. I ordered the California omelette with sourdough toast. The omelette was amazing, but the winner of the show was the sourdough! It was probably the best sourdough I've ever had. I still think about that piece of bread. I'm definitely returning in the future!

We live in Henderson, but come out to Boulder City quite often. When we do, the Coffee Cup is a place we'll stop in for breakfast. The food is always great & I've tried several different menu items. Bacon & eggs is always a "go-to" selection, but their biscuits & gravy is top notch & the omelets here are wonderful. Their coffee is pretty darn good too. Service is alway fast & friendly. Today we had Danielle, who was very good. Quick to smile & patient, she did a great job, which is what I expect here. The decor is unique. With Lake Mead close by, there is a LOT of skis, surfboards & pictures of family & friends enjoying the water activities available. This place has been on Guy Fieri's Triple D show & we can see why. Good food, great service & reasonable prices.

Yesterday Monday the 16 of us swung by after playing golf at nearby Boulder Creek golf course. One of our golfer friends suggested we come as this has been featured on DD&D. We put our name on the wait list. Wait time approximately 25 minutes. We sat outside on the benches to wait. Sometime later a staff person came out to ask if our group could be split up. Sure. Soon after we were summoned inside. Table of 8 in the main dining room and two tables of four in the adjacent dining room We sat down and immediately someone came to our table to take our drink orders. Hubby got a chocolate shake and I got a chocolate malt. Everything on the menu looked tasty. At our table of eight we were able to request separate checks of four. Ordered: * hubby got the chili hot dog burrito with jalapeños peppers. Choice of sides but he passed. The hot dog was wrapped in a flour tortilla with chili. * I ordered the tuna melt with extra crispy fries. The sandwich bread was thick and toasty. Ample tuna. The crispy fries were excellent. Our orders came promptly. Hubby & I ended up sharing. I think the chili hot dog was too much of a good thing. It had too much heat even for hubby. Half an order was best. Great attentive service. Fun kitschy place to eat in historic Boulder City.

Not worth the hype. 2 stars for service, she was nice but nothing great. We came Mother's Day I knew we were gonna wait it was fine. When I looked online the prices looked great come to find out small portions... food came out cold and it said to add a short stack was $1 on the menu, was charged $6. Bloody Mary was mediocre. We were there a total of two hours just for breakfast.

Back again! Boulder City is such a fun town to shop and look around in and has such great places to grab a bite. We brought out of state friends to enjoy The Coffee Cup. Just like last time we were told 30 minutes and it ended up an hour wait. Once we got to our table we still had a ten minute wait for a runner for drinks before we ever saw our server. I knew there were long waits so I told my company before so they would expect it. We did go in and grab a Bloody Mary to enjoy while we waited. It was very strong. There was no skimping on the alcohol. It was good and had an olive, celery, and bacon strip to top it off. While looking at the menu we asked the runner what she liked & she said she was vegetarian so she wasn't a good person to ask. You can tell someone you are vegetarian but always give a hands up to a dish. Our table ordered breakfast tacos and the pork Chili omelette with pancakes which where recommended by our server. We also got the huevos rancheros and Bomb Fries. I think the Bomb fries were my favorite thing. There were large chunks of pork in the green chili and the fries are seasoned and crispy and crunchy but soft in the inside. Onions were chopped and raw on top and cheese and jalapeños. My pork Chili omelette was the same which large pieces of pork and it was very tender. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Huevos Rancheros was good also. The home fries are killer! It took us a while to flag someone down for ketchup and we constantly had to flag someone down for refills on our drinks but other than that our experience was good. We still love the food. I think the servers were getting tired as it was a constant steam of customers and wait even up to 1:30pm when we were leaving. Coffee Cup is a great place. If you don't mind waiting you will enjoy a restaurant cooked meal that tastes like home.

Bloody Mary's! Get them. The mix is great and the bartender understands the importance of extra olives. Amd the Bloody Mary bacon can be ordered on the side to give to the pork eaters in your group. And the price can't be beat. Make the drive from Vegas for them.worth the drive and the $8. And the Mimosa is a great deal at $7. Now for the food - quotes from each person at the table. The vegan is yummy. The godfather plate is great. The huevos rancheros is pretty legit. The chili verde had. Huge chunks of pork (not something I would like but that is why I wasn't the one to order it) Oh and this place was featured on diners drive ins and dives. Didn't know that until we got here. We would eat here again

Coffee Cup Cafe in Boulder City is like stepping back in time. A real old time diner, even been featured on the FoodNetwork. Atmosphere is a fun decor, real diner decor. Food was all good. Breakfast and lunch served all day. BLTA was delish with a side of very crispy fries. Huevos Rancheros we're the real deal with homemade style salsa. Servers were friendly and attentive. Although the wait to get a table can be long, our 20 minute time was quick. We hit it at a good time, noon.

This is a solid, old-school breakfast diner with a nice little bar in the corner where you can grab drinks while you wait. Went there on a Sunday morning and was told the wait would be an hour, but was sat in 30 minutes so I can't be upset about that. The food is what I like to call, "Ugly delicious." The papas con Chili verde with a sunny side egg on top and the Chili verde omelette were both deeply flavorful and surprisingly good. I will say the service leaves a bit to be desired. Despite being seated earlier than expected, we waited about 15 minutes to have our order taken. A regular was seated next to me 15 minutes after I was and his order was taken immediately. Servers didn't even offer to take ours until I said something when I saw that. Then it was another 30 minute wait for our food. Better service and less favoritism and this place could have been 5 stars. Ambience was cute and classic, but it was unnerving how proudly patrons sport Schutzstaffel (SS) dedicated clothing here.

First, I can not say enough about the service. They worked out an amazing system of greeters, dining room managers, servers so you are always taken care of. They even have a place to get drinks (even non-Alcoholic ones like milk and soda) while you wait. Now the food: the hangover--biscuits, sausage, sausage gravy, eggs and cheese....SOOOO good. I added a some pepper because that is my tastebuds but 10/10 Chili cheese dog burrito (featured on diners dives and drive ins) was so good it you like chili cheese dogs...one piece of advice...leave out the jalapeños if you don't like spicy and forget the bacon as it made it hard to eat and didn't really add anything. 9/10 Cheeseburger. Solid decent Cheeseburger. Would not recommend since there are so many better options but it was good and hit the spot for my youngest. 7/10 Definitely recommend, wish I could have tried more food!!

I like to find a good breakfast spot where we might roam into, and this was on my "must try" list forever ago, so when I finally woke up early one morning after my sister offered a good spot- we gave this place a shot. I had high expectations for The Coffee Cup since my family members love it there, and speak highly of the food. The coffee cups were neat, each diner who had coffee had one of their signature cups in different colors, which I felt was a nice touch to the place. We were seated right in the front of the restaurant, which was a good view of the place, the staff and the diners waiting outside to eat. It is sort of a small, sfamily feel restaurant that provides you individual creamers, sugar packets, and syrup in a squeeze bottle. I was willing to sit in front of the restaurant and put my nerves aside because I was expecting to be blown away, and to be taken to another flavor world. I ordered the hangover, and everyone else got different dishes that seemed good off the menu. I tried my dad's chile verde omelette, their cinnamon roll, the waffle, sausages, bacon, the short stacks pancakes, the plain jane, and the ribeye and eggs. For a cafe that is "world famous", I expected the flavor to be out of the world and it was not. Everything I tasted was very plain, my gravy needed more flavor, and the omelettes, steak, pancakes were not anything that would make me want to go back. The restaurant was busy, but the food was coming out quick to every table, so that was a plus. The service was okay. We had plenty of offers for coffee refills from the staff, but had to ask multiple times for napkins because they seemed to give us about 3 with the dishes they brought, and the servers were not friendly. We have experienced other servers asking if we'd been there before, or even attempting to suggest their favorites or popular dishes on the menu and our server came once to ask for our drinks, then came to ask for the order. She checked on us once after we got the food, and then to bring the check. They were not over friendly, or didn't try to make a conversation to seem friendly or helpful. The decor is old pictures of people, either around town, the owner(s) family, vets and etc. There is also a big picture of Guy Fieri who made an appearance there, maybe when it was in its glory. I left sad from The Coffee Cup, I don't know if maybe there was another dish I should have tried, or maybe there was a disconnect with the staff and guests- or just us since we didn't get much talk from them at all besides them asking if we were ready, okay, or us asking for things we needed form them. Maybe they are not as attentive as they should be, or maybe they just had a lot going on; but I was not impressed and would not go back.

The Coffee Cup 512 Nevada Hwy, Boulder City NV 89005 June 8, 2023 Thursday - 6 AM for breakfast 1 Adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - My business trip has ended and driving home to PHX from Vegas. I love hitting up the TV series Diners, Drive-In and Dives restaurants. Last time I was here it was before my Yelp days. Atmosphere - Old Boulder City on the main street, hard to miss. Old location but love the character. Looks like they are in two adjent spots. I sat at counter top, always a great spot when you are flying solo. Food - I am pretty sure I had this last time too. The pork chili verde omelette. Just give me the pork by the truck loads. I could eat that for weeks!! A nice little bite of heat but nothing major behind it. Service - My coffee never ran out, what more do you need for a breakfast place. Oh speed, that is that too. Future - Clearly yes.

My spouse and I were recently in Boulder City for a leisurely stay to explore the surrounding area. A staff member at a local inn recommended we try The Coffee Cup for breakfast, so we did just that. We were advised to arrive early as the diner typically gets crowded shortly after opening at 6am. Since we were still operating on an East Coast schedule, rising early, was no problem for us! We arrived shortly after the doors opened and found the place to be quite charming. The staff was fantastic and the menu was diverse. I ordered, The Calli omelette with a side of French toast, and both selections were spectacular. I happen to love French toast, and I believe The Coffee Cup's French toast is the best I have ever eaten. My spouse enjoyed the breakfast tacos, and she was pleased with her menu selection as well. Best of all, the menu items were affordable. I recommend sitting at the diner counter because the staff is friendly and talkative. Fellow patrons were nice and welcoming as well. The Coffee Cup is an absolute gem, and I will absolutely return when my travels bring me to Boulder City again.

I visited two days ago and was excited to eat at a diner featured on the food network. I ordered a budget breakfast and it looked good. Upon my first bite, I unpleasantly realized the round dollop scoop on my pancake was vegetable oil margarine. Artificial maple syrup and margarine failed to deliver a wholesome breakfast.

I have passed by this place several times. I have had it bookmarked to try because of the Yelp reviews. Well the day finally came when I stopped. Well.... Now I'm actually sorry it took me so long to stop!!! First impression was how busy they are. Even the small bar area in the back was packed. Seemed like a good sign. I waited about 25 minutes or so for a spot to finally open up at the counter. I decided to go with the Pork Chile Verde Omelette with hash browns and toast. It's only $11.50 so not bad prices. It didn't take long for it to come out nice and hot. It looked amazing and I dug right in. Oh wow! The flavors were amazing!! Their Chile Verde is amazing!! Such great depth of flavors. Their hash browns were cooked perfectly and their toast was very good! The service here was quick, friendly and efficient. No complaints at all. I'm definitely looking forward to coming here again!

Came to Boulder City to look from some Big Horn Sheep. When the seep weren't there we were lucky to come across this place for breakfast. Pros: -casual spot with good food -parking stalls in front of restaurant along one of their main streets -staff constantly refilled your coffee so you always had something warm to drink Cons: -none A tasty and memorable meal. Would definitely eat there again.

I've been going here since 2015 always been my number one favorite breakfast/lunch place I've ever had. Really good the food is amazing and always never fails to surprise me whenever I eat there. I go here once every 3 months or so and the peaceful atmosphere even though there's a lot of people here is amazing. It's always crowded but it's not really that loud. The service is amazing, the workers have always been nice and friendly. For lunch I would recommend the burger always a really good burger never disappoints. The prices aren't that bad at all for the amount of food you get. For breakfast I recommend the burrito or biscuits and gravy. Really nice environment and amazing restaurant never fails to impress me. 10/10

The Cup is a cute little coffeeshop located on the Bolder hwy, nestled in old town Bolder City. It's got small town atmosphere with electic but fun decor that draws your eyes around the building. You can definitely tell this is a locals favorite as well as a common place for travelers pacing through. The menu is a mix of Mexican and classic dinner fare, and consists of a breakfast and lunch selection. Myself and my 3 family members were seated quickly and ordered and received our food in a timely manner. My food was delicious, I ordered the chili Verde on hash browns. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture because I was so hungry and it was so good it didn't survey long. With the price point being reasonable, the atmosphere and the food being as delicious as it was, I recommend this spot for as good breakfast or lunch if your in the area!

I live in Henderson but make it a point to drive out to Boulder City for my Coffee cup needs. They have been featured on Diners Drive in's and dives as well as Good morning America, and for good reason. The restaurant has a cute old hometown feel to it, and their menu is wonderful with plenty of options, I usually go with huevos rancheros or their papa con chili verde which is one of their featured dishes on food network but today I went with the breakfast tacos, which were the perfect portion, you get 3 corn tortilla tacos filled with eggs, bacon, pico, cilantro, potatoes, cheese and a side of salsa, the flavor was great and the chipotle mayo on top is a nice flavor to the tacos. The coffee cup is always busy but they have a bunch of seating outside while you wait for your table and the wait usually never seems to be more than 15 minutes which is absolutely worth it.

Cool place. I go when I visit my dad in Boulder city. Love the loco moco. My only complaint is the coffee is not that great. Ok I am a coffee snob. Cool vibe and love the beach theme in the desert.

We had a delightful meal at this happening spot in Boulder City! We arrived just before 11 and were seated with a short wait but when we left there were dozens of people waiting out front. Service is fast and friendly and portions were big. We had omelettes and pancakes and all was enjoyed.

I've had breakfast for the last three days at this amazing little diner, today I decided to have a nice juicy cheeseburger for lunch, the moment you come in you agreed with an immediate smile from the hostess, the waitresses, absolutely adorable, precise, and are up to par with hospitality etiquette, I highly recommend this place.

I really enjoy coming to this breakfast and lunch diner in old town Boulder City Nevada! It's a nice little escape from Las Vegas! This diner has also been featured on Guy Fieri's diner, dive-ins and dives. The food is home-made and always so fresh with great prices and nice size portions. I love to enjoy the $5 Micheladas when I come here. They also have the best Bloody Mary's. The service has never disappointed. Food comes out in no time and the waiters are very attentive. I love the quirky decor and it gives me old school diner vibes!

Came here this past Sunday and while the restaurant was busy and we had to wait for 20 minutes the food and ambiance was wonderful. Our waitress and hostess took great care of us and got our food and drinks out quickly. She took our orders and separated our checks for us immediately. The food was exactly what you want from an American breakfast diner. The food is buttery and made to order, everything that came out was super fresh and hot! My eggs were perfect as was my steak and for $14 it couldn't be beat This will absolutely become a morning date spot for me

In Boulder City to golf and someone suggested we eat at The Coffee Cup. Place was crowded and we had to wait over 20 minutes to get in but they had an outside with chairs and benches for you to sit but it just happened that day it was really windy, but we toughed it out and waited. There was 12 of us so we split up to get 2 tables. Glad we did wait because the food and service was very excellent. I had the Chili Dog Burrito. It was different from a regular burrito and a bit spicy, but it was delicious. The onion rings were excellent; crispy just the way I like it. The other dishes that I was able to take a photo of looked good and everyone said they enjoyed their meal at The Coffee Cup. Cute diner with excellent service and worth the wait to get seated.
