| - High 5, Coffee Cup!, you are our favorite Yelpventure thus far. Maybe because of it being the "special, Triple D edition"? We were going to go Saturday but, due to its popularity, opted for Sunday morn (while people are either at church or sleeping in from the nite before). Going from the western part of Vegas, it took just over 30min to get there & was super easy to find (although you'll just see "café" on the sign 1st). We arrived in our parking spot at 9:15ish. I'm sure that going on a Sunday had something to do with being able to park right in front of the restaurant but there is also a big sign for a public lot. Coffee Cup is shockingly smaller than I imagined so I was worried about the wait, even though we were 4th down on the list. A half an hour later, we were seated & VERY excited to get our breakfast on. My g.f. ordered coffee then chastised me for only ordering water. She's a big coffee drinker & took one sip if the coffee before shoving it in my face telling me I HAD to try it. I've never been more pleased to have something forced on me... it's good... real good... like satin on your tongue. In fact, after I ordered my own cup, there were several inquiries between the two of us about how the coffee is possibly that smooth. On to our mini-buffet... Biscuits & gravy (dig it that you can order 1, 2 or 3). Being from a small, country, railroad town, I'm kind of a b&g snob & these passed the test! Pigs in a blanket. I'm not a huge sausage fan so a few bites in, it became just blanket. But, the blanket sure was perfect (something about the edge & that they withheld the thick syrup without becoming soggy.). Due to how hearty the pigs in a blanket is, it'd be nice if they offered quantities similar to the b&g. Chicken fried steak. As previously mentioned, I'm from the country, so how is it that I've never had chicken fried steak before!? My g.f. warned me it's one of those things that's either prepared on-point or disgusting. Guess what, folks, it was NOT even a little bit disgusting! I looked at my g.f. with my mouth full of it & asked her if it was made properly (just to make 100% sure!). She agreed, it's pretty delicious. Now, the cfs normally comes with 2 eggs any style AND hashbrowns (the latter not mentioned on menu). Not being huge fans off eggs & needing to prioritize our intake, we asked for just the hashbrowns (&, yes, they too were scrumptious). Over the bar area was a sign mentioning their homemade cinnamon rolls for $2/ea. So, being on Operation: Carbfest 2012, we ordered 4 to go. 2 barely fit into 1 to-go container & we fell into a fit of laughter. Honestly, I wasn't a fan- not dense/gooey(?) enough BUT the icing was very good (& I'm not a frosting/icing lover). Our whole bill was only $31. Sadly, we did not partake in the chile verde but plan to next time. Because there WILL be a next time! A few hours in Boulder City was a much needed escape from Vegas, thanks to a little gem called Coffee Cup.
