Last weekend, my wife was competing in a Triathlon, and myself (The Official Las Vegas Tri-Club TAILGATER) and some very good friends went out to BC to support her... she did great by the way! After the Tri, we figured it would be a good to refuel at the Coffee Cup.
Because of the event, it was packed! Considering we had a group of seven, and the place is tiny, we thought the wait would have been 45min or so... Not true. They had us in there and seated within 20min. Very impressive.
The Coffee Cup is a cool local spot that is decked out in Retro 60's/70's SOCAL surfer garb. Old surf boards... water skis... and pictures of dune buggies and family outings plaster the walls.
The food was wonderful. I'm pretty sure all of us ordered Breakfast, and I ordered the Board Walk Breakfast Sandwich. I couldn't have been happier with the meal! Everyone else would probably agree, since there were no complaints and a lot of eating goin on... Considering this place made it on to The Foodnetwork (http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/breakfast/index.html), I wouldn't expect anything but quality.
The service was great! Our server was very friendly, prompt, and poured a great cup of coffee. The owners seated our large group and they even came around to our table to make sure everything was the way we wanted it...
The prices were very reasonable for both Breakfast and Lunch. If you go to their website, you can view the menu and prices (http://www.worldfamouscoffeecup.com/). In my opinion, the only thing keeping it from a Five Star rating, were the small dingy bathrooms :(
Boulder City is a very unique little town on the outskirts of a CRAZY city, and the Coffee Cup really fits in well there. Stop by and enjoy the food and decor! You won't be disappointed...
Cheers!
