Had to visit twice during our three day visit, cause when you find a good thing it's worth returning! The honey bun latte was my husband's choice both times, and I had a plain brevé as well as one with sugar free brown sugar cinnamon. 10/10 all around. Definitely stop in if you're passing through this great town!

I visited The Main Cup after dropping my car off for repair a couple of blocks away. I really enjoyed my visit - the coffee was good, the people were very nice and it was an all-around great place to hang out while my car was being worked on. What a nice find! I'm in the area for a few weeks and will be back - thank you!

My most favorite coffee shop. I love their lattes, the friendly, fast service, and their chicken salad! They have a wonderful book room where you can borrow books & rooms upstairs for meetings with friends or small groups. Want to sit outside? They have cute bistro sets on the porch & tables in the yard. I personally love the picnic table under the pink Dogwood tree. The charm of this sweet shop cannot be beat.

I love this place, I've always gotten coffees from here since I've been in Cynthiana and they're always the best. Highly recommend.

This is a charming coffee shop with friendly service! I typically gravitate towards cold brews, so the employees convinced me to try their seasonal chocolate cold brew with strawberry cold foam. It was absolutely delicious, and I also enjoyed their everything bagel with cream cheese. If you have time, you can even relax and read one of their many book options while you enjoy your coffee. This is the perfect cozy spot to start your day!

I wish Google listed this as a mission for the pres church next door. I think A LOT more out of towners would stop by knowing they're supporting something good versus McDonald's. Great coffee and personable service.
