Reviews
On a drive up to Chicago to catch a vacation flight, we stopped at The Cup and The Scone to get us caffeinated for the rest of the drive. We got there about 30 minutes before close and the barista was super nice as we ordered our drinks. Emily got a caramel latte and I got the.. you guessed it… an iced americano. We also grabbed a blueberry-lemon, cranberry-orange, and birthday cake scone.
While we stood there as the barista was making our drinks, we chatted her up a bit and we were able to get a few free stickers from her. She said they don’t use them all too much and was happy to give us two each. Once we got our drinks, we took off to the upper part of the coffeehouse and promised we wouldn’t be too long since they were closing soon. Before we headed upstairs, I took some photos with the suit of armor that is by the counter. When we got upstairs, I was surprised to see another suit of armor, so I took a photo with that one, too.
The Cup and The Scone specializes in a lot of gluten-free products and a small bit of religion. I don’t know if their entire menu is gluten-free but as someone who’s mom is gluten sensitive (and I will probably be at some point), the care about GI issues is great. As for the religious stuff, if you don’t see the occasion bible strewn about the place, you’d honestly never know. But, their website seems to support helping people and I think that also is super great as this world is getting rough and scary.
Any who, Emily and I really enjoyed our drinks. The americano hit all the right notes and Emily was delighted with her latte. We were split on the scones. I really liked the birthday cake while she really liked the cranberry-orange while we both thought the blueberry-lemon was just alright. We held true to our promise and dipped out before 2pm and hit the road. If I find myself in Pontiac for some reason in the future, The Cup and The Scone will definitely be my spot to get some americanos.
This seems like a great place to study or take a moment if you are traveling down Route 66.
Highly recommend this place, and we’ll be back for sure.
Cup and Scone is a hidden gem in the quaint town of Pontiac IL, just off Old Rout 66. The ambiance is a mashup of modern-day bistro with old English elements, including a life-size suit of armor.
The staff: Rachel and Ale were warm and welcoming, helpful and patient as we asked multiple questions about the menu before settling on our selections.
Food: We had the Panini platter. The panini paired well with the micro-green, apple, and cucumber salad. The homemade yogurt was delicious, as were the mini- muffins and scones (of which we tried a variety).
Coffee and Tea: The nitro cold brew was smooth and well balanced. This blend, with caramel notes, was fantastic for the coffee coniseur as well as the dabbler. We learned they use 5 different roasts to create a unique blend for every batch. The home-brewed chai was spicy and sweet, floral and creamy with a unique ingredient reminiscent of orange bitters that sets it apart from the run-of-the-mill chai. The Stone Cold, Chai blended with ice cream, was subtle, sweet, and creamy; perfect on a hot day.
