| - Cute place, a nice local addition to the Stow area. I first heard of Coffee Cup from friends & on social media; it's been getting a lot of buzz in the community, which I gather is because the owner is a well-connected local who has been able to drum up support (& customers!) I was impressed with all the word-of-mouth I heard about this place, which seems unusual for 2015. (Re: another reviewer's insinuation that this is all "drummed up," I say: I honestly just heard about it from friends. Lots of them. Somebody's doing a good job somewhere!)
The menu isn't necessarily anything to write home about - you're not going to find the best coffee or pastries of your life here - but everything seems to be done fairly well, & I second a previous reviewer's support for the vanilla latte, which is sweet but not overly so. My mom likes their Italian sodas as an alternative to caffeine. prices are standard & competitive with other local coffeeshops.
The decor is on its way, but could be, in my opinion, a little bit more done-up. It's cute but still feels a bit like the place is located in a strip mall (which it is, but wouldn't we all like to forget?) Perhaps this will come in time. For now, I'm sure they're focused on getting the place off the ground! There's ample seating, though not as many electrical outlets as I'd like, & everything's got a cozy local feel. Staff is friendly & seems legitimately happy to be serving their customers.
In other words: definitely worth checking out. Welcome to the area, Corner Cup!
