Our friends are back! So here’s a Construction Update to ensure we can keep serving you your favorites ☕️🚜🔨
(We will continue to update this post as work changes)
The city is doing extensive work on Zion Ave, as well as Mission Gorge, that will continue to interfere with normal traffic patterns around Cuppa Cuppa. Here are the details and how you can get into see us!
BEST WAYS ⬇️
Heading West on Mission Gorge Road, the entrance is open with both lanes!
Heading North on Zion Ave, enter through the backside entrance behind the liquor store. Both lanes are open!
ALTERNATIVELY ⬇️
The “main entrance” for Cuppa, the Zion Ave entrance closest to the shack is able to be entered both ways from Zion, but is now a Right turn only on the exit!
We understand this is a tad confusing, and we will do our best to add additional signage directing where to go When you get close!
We’re here to make your Cuppa Cuppa experience the best part of your day, let us know if you any questions or concerns.
You can also visit us at The Lab: 4440 Twain Ave. #102
to get all the same Cuppa Cuppa you know and love in our sit down cafe!

March is wrapping up, but we’re still feeling a little lucky 🍀✨
If you’re the type to crave a peppermint mocha year-round (same), but the weather says otherwise… meet your new go-to: the Irish Mint Mocha 🤝
We start with a smooth white mocha base (or go dark if that’s your vibe), add in peppermint, and a splash of Irish cream with those cozy toffee + caramel notes. Toss in a double shot of espresso, your milk of choice (whole milk today 🥛), shake it all over ice—and just like that, you’ve got a refreshing twist on a St. Patty’s favorite.
And just because March is ending… doesn’t mean the flavors have to 💚 find this months specials through mid April!

Need a serious caffeine pick-me-up? We got you. 👀☕️
Meet the Slam Dunk — the perfect drink if you’re a cold brew lover.
It starts with Irish cream syrup for those nutty, caramel-like notes, gets an extra shot of espresso for a little added kick, and is topped with their 24-hour slow brewed cold brew for bold flavor and serious caffeine. Finish it with your milk of choice (half-and-half if you want it extra rich).
Smooth, strong, and guaranteed to wake you up.
Safe to say this one lives up to its name. 🏀
