Hubby and I stopped by to grab some coffee and Urban Cup did not disappoint! I ordered the Crispy Biscoff Latte and he got a cappuccino (he’s pretty picky and was impressed that it was a proper cappuccino, unlike some other shops) - both were delicious. Andrea, the owner, and the vibe of the coffee shop were super welcoming and warm. The decor really makes you want to sit and just relax and enjoy existing. We will definitely try to come back more often!

Urban Cup is one of Lansing’s best little spots! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is always friendly. Their crafted sodas are amazing — refreshing, unique, and full of flavor. It’s hard to find that kind of creativity elsewhere. Pair it with one of their soups or sandwiches and you’ve got the perfect meal. A true hidden gem that deserves every star!

Great staff. Some of the best I've ever encountered. Cool little off the grid place you may wanna check out. Great coffee. Food was awesome. And the whole place was really clean. Fairly priced. Worth stopping by.

What a great little coffee and sandwich shop! I was driving home from Frandor, badly in need of some coffee and starving for lunch. I spotted Urban Cup out of the corner of my eye and decided to turn around and check it out. I'm glad I did, what a fun little place. The gal that was working was great too. I had the Bacon - Avocado BLT as a wrap, with Cole slaw, and a Mocha latte. The wrap and coleslaw were fantastic! The coffee was ok, not the best I've ever had but better than Biggby or Starbucks. It's very small inside but a great place to stop in for lunch. They also serve craft sodas that all sounded like they'd be amazing, and Mooville ice cream.
