Sign on the door says “Be back at 8am” and it’s 8:35am and it’s all locked up. Coffee shop that is closed during coffee hours?

Came as a whim, stayed for the great food, awesome customer service, and outstanding coffee [alcohol and non-alcohol] and great food. Stop by, ask all the questions, and be excited about your visit. Food and drinks were delicious, we'll certainly be back, just like us.

Went for coffee and tea. S’mores coffee was decent, although only slightly warm when served. Chai latte was overpowering and unpleasant. The space was very cramped. Took a while to get our drinks since there was only one employee making drinks. No public restrooms.

The High Cup is amazing! I found them one night while looking for a great cup of coffee that was not a chain. To my delight The High Cup served me one of the absolute best Americanos I have ever had and I have had thousands. I soon came back with friends and enjoyed a phenomenal espresso martini and then came back two days later for a super tasty Korean beef bowl. I also met the owner and he is a good guy. The High Cup is a great place to eat, drink, and enjoy coffee with friends in a fun yet warm atmosphere.If I can be completely honest; I only say good things about great places and The High Cup is a super great place.
