What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This place is the definition of a local gem. I stopped by on a freezing morning and found the atmosphere instantly inviting. The shop was full of life—a perfect mix of people working, studying, and chatting. The service was great, and I really enjoyed my hot chocolate and Liege waffle. The best part, though, was the genuine sense of community. I ran into old high school buddies I hadn't seen in years and watched other locals linking up. It really brings people together. A very positive experience"
"Busy but not too loud for a coffee shop. Only downside was children running around bumping into our table. Clean seating atmosphere. Have 1 gluten free option, wish they'd had gluten free breakfast sandwich options like other independent coffee shops do."
"I absolutely love The Local Cup! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is always so friendly, and their espresso drinks are consistently delicious. I’m especially obsessed with their croissant breakfast sandwiches — truly the best way to start the day! The owners are incredibly kind and it feels so good supporting an amazing small business in my hometown. Places like this are the heart of our community. Highly recommend!"
"Everyone here is always so nice and the coffee is really tasty. The lattes are the right amount of sweet but you can still taste the coffee (though if you're someone who likes coffee that is just super sweet they'd gladly adjust it) the place also has a nice ambiance w plenty of comfortable seats. I'm so glad this place exists! Check it out for the truly friendly atmosphere, the comfy vibe, and the delicious coffee!"
"Very busy place which is good for them. It had great coffee and the food is decent. It’s fairly priced and the staff is very nice. The down side is a lot of people like to hangout and makes the place super crowded. I have been several times and in both cases I would have had to wait for someone to leave to sit anywhere. So be prepared to just grab and go in most cases."
"I work in Mechanicsville and have been on the hunt for a good coffee shop (that's not a chain). I was excited to find this place and stopped in today to..."
