Food: Ordered the Grilled Ham and Cheese with a overeasy egg on the side as recommended by the manager - so savory in flavor. Adding an egg isn't even necessary, just nice extra protein. The sandwich alone is PERFECT. The roasted tomatoes on it give it the extra juiciness and blast of flavor to complete the ham. My sister ordered the Gravlax Bagel. It had an overwhelming amount of salmon on it- a little too much to stomach if you're not into salmon like that as my sister isn't. She took off more than half of it off her bagel and was able to finish it then. If you love salmon, go for it. She ordered a side of sweet potato fries and those had the perfect crisp and browning on them. We additionally each got a smoothie which I wasn't too crazy for either of them. I believe we ordered the Tropical Chia and the Green Goddess. They were refreshing but a little too earthy for my liking, I'd definitely take a hard pass on a smoothie the next time I visit. Service: I will note that the smoothies and food did not come out as quickly as you would hope but that's to be expected with the endless line that is always walking through the doors. This place never seems to be empty or at least not on a Saturday morning downtown in November. Accidentally speaking with the manager and receiving that window booth placement was easily the best part of the experience. (Explained below). Atmosphere: This place is buzzing with moving bodies and chatter. I love how busy it is because it's easy to sink into some work and zone in while the noise around you turns into a nonsense hum. The perfect background noise to sink into studies, work, or just conversation with your sister. The place has ample enough seating with a variety of different seating such as high table tops, booths, etc. When we walked in, I was unsure of the ordering and seating process and asked an employee standing around who happened to be the manager! He kindly pointed out if we were dining in or taking out, he asked if we would like an open booth by the window in the corner, placed a reserved sign there for us and told us we could wait in line for the counter to order. Food would be brought to the table whereas drinks had to be picked up at the counter. That booth was the best seat in the whole place! You could see all the activity on the street as well all the bustling inside Cupitol! Sit there if you can. **Visited in November 2023, just had to leave a review though. Can't wait to visit again.

I Stopped By This Place For The First Time Today, And The Service Was Extremely Poor. My First Order Was A Side Order Of Hashbrowns, And My Second Order Was For A Chai Latte 12oz. After 15 Minutes Of Waiting For My Chai Latte, And Observing Other Customers Who Orders Were Placed After Mine, I Approached The Cashier, And Politely Asked About My Chai Latte, And it Was At That Moment Things Went Left. I Was Interrogated By One Of The Girls About Whether Or Not I Had Actually Ordered A Chai Latte, Did I Pay For The Order With A Credit Card, What Size Drink Did I Order And So On…..I Pointed To The Lady That Had Taken My Order (Virginia) And Finally, I Guess, I Was Vindicated From Being A Chai Latte Thief!!🙄 The Barista Was Asked To Make A Chai Latte Because Apparently, My Drink Was Never Made And Then The Barista Turned Around, And Yelled, “ANOTHER CHAI LATTE”? The Audacity Of Her To Sound Frustrated About Doing Her JOB Is MIND BOGGLING!! Meanwhile, I’m Still Waiting For My Side Order Of Hashbrowns As Well. After FINALLY receiving My Order, I Tasted The Chai Latte, And It Tasted Like It Was Made Out Of PURE FRUSTRATION!!! ZERO FLAVOR AND CERTAINLY DIDNT TASTE LIKE IT WAS MADE WITH SOY MILK WHICH BY THE WAY, IS WHAT I ORDERED!!..Oh And The Hashbrowns Well, As You Can See They Are EXTREMELY UNDERCOOKED!! So WATERED DOWN Chai Latte And RAW Hashbrowns, But I’m Still In Good Spirits On The Wonderful Wednesday😃 Whenever I Try A Restaurant For The First Time, I Order Carry-out From The Side Order Menu And Populär Hot Drinks Because If The Food And Drink Is HORRIBLE, Then It’s Not A Significant Amount Of Money Wasted..By The Way, It Seems As Though Some Restaurants Are Intentionally Providing POOR SERVICE To A Particular Type Of Customer In Hopes Of Them Never Returning, And Although I Didn’t Get That Impression From This Place, It Doesn’t Negate The Fact That My Overall Experience At Cupitol Today Was An IEPIC FAIL!!!..My Suggestions To Cupitol Would Be For Your Employees To Be Respectful And Mindful Of Your Customers Time By Observing How Long They’ve Been Waiting To Receive Their Orders. Make Sure Your Customers Are Provided With A Receipt After Each Transaction Because, I Wasn’t Provided With A Receipt. If There’s An Error With A Customer’s Order Please, Don’t Make The Customer Feel As They’re At Fault For Simply Being A Customer. Make Sure ALL Of Your Customers Are Served EXPEDITIOUSLY Because That Certainly Wasn’t What I Experienced On Today!

I recently visited Cupitol & coffee in Streeterville and unfortunately, I can only give it a 3 out of 5 star review. While the coffee and food were decent, there were a few issues that detracted from my overall experience. Firstly, the wait times were extended and seemed to be disorganized. It was difficult to discern where to stand in line and when my order would be ready. This made for a frustrating experience, particularly during busy periods. Secondly, the line management was poor. The staff seemed overwhelmed and did not seem to have a good system in place for managing the flow of customers. This resulted in confusion and disorganization, which further added to the wait times. Lastly, while I was excited to try their cold brew, I was disappointed to find that it was just cold brew concentrate that hadn't been properly diluted. This made for a very strong and bitter coffee that was difficult to drink. Overall, while Cupitol & coffee has potential, they need to work on their wait times, line management, and cold brew preparation in order to improve the customer experience.
