We are so fortunate to grow our business in a city so loving, so generous, and so caring.  I’m amazed by our community and what those living her can collaboratively make happen.  For the last year, we have been a part of The Table, a community based soup kitchen.  We’ve watched it grow.  It is now thriving, serving as many as 70 people on a weekday lunch.  Thank you, The Table for letting us share in your effort.  We are so proud of you and what you have created!

The Table – Community and Soup

Yay! You asked for it and we are happy to oblige. Our new hours begin March 1st. We’ll open at 7:00 a.m. for you early birds, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and we’ll stay open “late”. I know late is a relative term. If you are here, I’ll be here. If you aren’t here by 9:00 p.m., we’ll call it a day. Our hours for Sunday remain the same, we’ll remain closed, resting at home.

Yum! Cappuccino Cupcake!

Just to make things clear, cupcakes aren’t just pint-sized cakes, they are something entirely different!  Baked in small batches, with the finest ingredients, including farm fresh eggs, organic dairy, bittersweet chocolate, pure vanilla, fresh lemon zest, carrots and bananas, the Cup cupcakes clearly “take the cake”!  Our desire is to create uncomplicated, never fussy – always just right desserts for our customers.  Cupcakes conjure up memories of childhood, family, and just make people smile.  For special occasions, or made up occasions, the Cup cupcakes are perfect to help celebrate the moment.  Call ahead for orders as our cupcakes sell quickly.  402.475.0494

Cheers!

Okay, so what I’m about to say is nothing new, but after enjoying a delicious, comforting bowl of soup this afternoon, I’m reminded of just how good our soup is on a cold day.  Not only did my bowl of curried pumpkin soup provide me with (much needed) nutrition, it provided warmth, teased my taste buds, and gave me an excuse to eat a huge hunk of wheat and rye bread, with butter of course!  the CUP was fortunate enough to be named one of the top five places in Lincoln to get a great bowl of soup.
