The Great Escape: The T-Cup Cafe

So, it's "Humpday" (Wednesday), and you need a break.

After all, the daily grind of living in the city can take its toll on anybody.

Sure, there’s probably a Starbucks within walking distance of your job. But the coffee is overrated, and the idea of feeding a corporate giant just doesn’t sit well with you. So what other local spots are available to relax, enjoy a pastry and a hot drink, people-watch and not have to talk, (unless, of course, you want to)?

Have you checked out the T-Cup Café? From its exterior, the T-Cup Café doesn’t amount to much—but take a peek inside, and immediately you're transported to a place that feels like a second home-- a place that is spacious with people who learn your first name: A place that encourages the act of deep breathing.

Located at 627 Throop Avenue between MacDonough and Decatur Street, the T-Cup Café offers tasty and healthy treats for all who visit. They even take suggestions for their menu and offer free Wi-Fi for those of you attached to your laptops. It’s a friendly atmosphere, with customers that range in age and background.

And the food options here are literally addictiave: Breakfast-lovers can feast on their delicious waffles, BLT sandwiches, bacon, tomatoes & cheddar omelet, or if you prefer, a veggie omelet instead  The caffeine addict can splurge on a variety of fresh-brewed coffee, mocha’s, espressos or lattes. There’s a choice of salmon or turkey for burger lovers and for dessert why not treat yourself to a real fruit smoothie and a homemade cookie?

The T-Cup café is open from 7:30am to 6:30pm, Monday through Friday, Saturday’s 8:30am to 6pm.
