About This Place

Nestled in the charming town of Port Townsend, The Cup stands out as a quintessential American breakfast restaurant that embodies warmth, tradition, and exceptional culinary craftsmanship. Located conveniently at 600 W Sims Way, The Cup offers guests a welcoming diner experience where hearty, home-style meals are served with genuine friendliness and impeccable attention to detail.

The menu at The Cup reads like a love letter to classic American breakfast and lunch favorites. Imagine starting your day with a perfectly poached Eggs Benedict, the rich hollandaise sauce melding beautifully with tender English muffins and fresh eggs. For something more robust, the Corned Beef Hash delivers a savory punch balanced with crisped potatoes, while the Denver Omelet brims with vibrant bell peppers, onions, and cheddar cheese — a colorful and satisfying plate that fuels your morning adventure.

Beyond breakfast, The Cup also tempts diners with specialties like Chicken Fried Steak, renowned for its crispy, golden crust and flavorful gravy, or the Tillamook Cheddar Cheese Burger, a true Pacific Northwest delight that layers juicy, high-quality beef with sharp, local cheddar. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Alaskan Cod Fish and Chips or the fresh Dungeness Crab Cocktail, both showcasing regional flavors that celebrate the nearby ocean’s bounty.

Light yet heartwarming options such as their house-made Clam Chowder, brimming with tender clams and a velvety broth, or a fresh salad topped with house specials, round out the menu, ensuring there’s something for every palate. Don’t miss the Lavender Lemonade—a fragrant, refreshing beverage that adds a unique floral note to your meal, perfectly complementing the bold flavors of The Cup’s dishes.

The atmosphere here is comforting and unpretentious, a true diner vibe that invites you to relax and savor your food without rush. The spacious patio dining area offers picturesque views—making it an excellent spot to enjoy your meal alongside the refreshing Pacific Northwest air.

One guest praised the careful preparation and timely delivery of dishes, while another appreciated the pet-friendly environment that allowed their furry companions to join the morning feast.

Community engagement also sets The Cup apart. In the ample parking lot, groups such as the Washington State Master Gardeners contribute to maintaining a delightful pollinator garden, adding a splash of natural beauty and a sense of local pride. This thoughtful touch perfectly encapsulates the spirit of The Cup—a beloved local gem that serves not just meals, but a rich slice of Port Townsend’s hospitality and charm.

    Very traditional breakfast with excellent servers. The food was prepared as requested by my party and delivered on time. There was a group of Washington State Master Gardeners who were maintaining a delightful pollinator garden in the ample parking lot. This was one more reason to enjoy The Cup!

    Such a great breakfast place. We've been there half a dozen times and the food has always been delicious. The place is not fancy, it's just a diner but it's a fine setting for the yummy breakfasts and friendly service.

    We stopped at The Cup for breakfast and had an amazing meal. The portion size is great not too much not too little and it was a dog friendly atmosphere. Our server could not be any nicer and was very attentive to our needs.

    Wow. This is a great place. The food was excellent, the owners so personable. The bathrooms are also well taken care of. This is a terrific place and if we lived here, we would be regulars. It also looks like there's a large place for parties and there's very comfortable patio dining. Dont overlook this restaurant, it is delicious.

    Solid food, perfect service. A wee bit cold in the main dining room, but it was in the 30's and windy that day. Will definitely go back. Looks like they have a great summertime / outdoor setup.

    Food was really good! Coffee is average. Service is friendly and great here. If they had bloody Mary and mimosa options it would be perfect. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend the potato dishes and corn beef hash!
