Koupa Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Haddon Township

Generally, I’m not one to write reviews. I’ve decided to make an exception this time. On my way to the gym I passed by the sign for Koupa an “espresso” bar. I immediately became excited because I’m a die hard espresso and coffee addict. So, I browsed their menu when I was finishing my cardio and decided to stop by. Unfortunately I should have just saved my $31.00+ dollars. As previous authors have stated, the two women behind the counter were pleasant…….to the others in the shop. The owner was having a full blown conversation with the woman in front of me about her Prada bag. They discussed this bag for over 5 minutes while I just sat and waited in line. Eventually the owner realized I was STILL there and told the quiet one to take my order. She did not appear to be thrilled by this. The quiet one (that’s what we’ll call her because she was essentially mute while I attempted to order). For the record after I ordered I realized that she wasn’t actually quiet, as she proceeded to converse with the people that came in after me. I won’t say it, but yes, they were and YES, I am. After waiting forever for 2 drinks and the spanakopita (that they forgot at first), I left. Let’s start with the drinks. I got their signature drink, a signature crème brûlée salted caramel latte and a caramel macchiato. The crème brûlée latte was sour…..like it was literally sour. Not the bitter taste of espresso that you dipped straight up from the straw. So I stirred it thinking that some syrup must have been puddled, yeahhhhh, NOPE. The drink was atrocious. It was sour with not one hint of toffee as the site says. The caramel macchiato didn’t do any better. It was like drinking milk with a quick swirl of caramel. That was the weakest espresso I’ve ever had. Lastly, the food. OMG where is the flavor??? Greek food generally has flavor. It was either bland and lackluster (spanakopita) or tasted like sugar and nothing else (baklava). I’ve had both of these items before from other establishments and enjoyed them. I’ll put it like this; Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Everyone is not meant to serve food, or drinks in this case. Now if you’ve been here before and liked it, I love that for you! My experience was not great. I’ve spent $31.00 that I won’t get back for drinks that I couldn’t drink (literally trashed after a sip), bland food, and subpar service. McDonald’s would have been a more...

It's okay, my family lives Astoria Queens. Home of the Greeks. After you had pastries or spanakopita from Titan or Omonia this kind of pales in comparison. Definitely wanted to love it when I read Number one spanakopita in South Jersey. That's a really big claim that I don't think is nearly Justified, in fact, the piece I got was mostly just Filo. But everything tasted okay. The baklava was okay, kind of dry. The Portocolopita "orange cake" was just okay. Hot chocolate was okay, definitely not super rich and creamy like Turning Point. The egg sandwich was okay, way too much cheese. Everything was okay... I ordered all of those things just for myself to experiment and try new things based on reviews I heard. Honestly wouldn't drive out of my way to experiment again. But, nothing was straight out bad. It just didn't meet my expectations. If I was nearby and needed a quick snack, I would stop in. But I wouldn't travel Towns over again just to eat at Koupa's. Tbh.

Like and follow for more honest reviews! I'm new to town and I'm going to try all Cherry Hill and the surrounding areas have...

Very cozy spot! With great service and amazing pastry’s. My husband and I came in today and have never been here . We’re new to the area and wanted to just have a nice morning since it’s raining and we picked right!!! The sweet pastry with vanilla filling and powder sugar was AMAZING!! We did coffee flights and liked them. We weren’t a fan of one of the flavors and the owner must have noticed we weren’t drinking it and came over to check on us she remade it for us and it was soooo much better! She also brought us over a chocolate donut which we thought was so sweet of her! I liked the coco almond drink and crème brûlée. We also got a ham and cheese croissant which was good. I did think it was all a bit expensive $36 but let’s be honest in this economy everything is. And for everything being fresh, service being amazing and it being family owned I’m not upset with the price. Definitely me and my husbands new coffee shop for our monthly morning date. We also grabbed some cookies to take home!
