The Cup and the Scone — Restaurant in Pontiac Township

False advertisement. Clearly on the display case showed the price for a quiche. When I was wrung up by the indifferent employee, he stated a higher price. I inquired about it. It showed a higher amount than what was shown plus I asked them the price before they rang it up and they said the same amount. My issue was not so much the higher price which should have been shown bc that is truly false advertisement, but the Attitude and how was handled. He told me "he doesn't have everything on the menu memorized". Wow! (Well, I'll be sure to not recommend that establiment.) I told him they should have honored the advertised price. But no. He kept going on and on and I just asked him to drop it. We just wanted our coffee with cream and leave that place, stat. Never again. Plus there were two other ladies there that said and did nothing. I agree with that other reviewer that they do not care bc they do not care and do it with a sarcastic attitude. I also think if they increase prices, it should be adjusted. Everyone else in that town is wonderful but we won't be back there and I make travel and food recommendations to a larger audience so they'll be off my list. They need attitude adjustment &...

Warm and welcoming, cool and creative, Cup and Scone has something for everyone.

Cup and Scone is a hidden gem in the quaint town of Pontiac IL, just off Old Rout 66. The ambiance is a mashup of modern-day bistro with old English elements, including a life-size suit of armor.

The staff: Rachel and Ale were warm and welcoming, helpful and patient as we asked multiple questions about the menu before settling on our selections.

Food: We had the Panini platter. The panini paired well with the micro-green, apple, and cucumber salad. The homemade yogurt was delicious, as were the mini- muffins and scones (of which we tried a variety).

Coffee and Tea: The nitro cold brew was smooth and well balanced. This blend, with caramel notes, was fantastic for the coffee coniseur as well as the dabbler. We learned they use 5 different roasts to create a unique blend for every batch. The home-brewed chai was spicy and sweet, floral and creamy with a unique ingredient reminiscent of orange bitters that sets it apart from the run-of-the-mill chai. The Stone Cold, Chai blended with ice cream, was subtle, sweet, and creamy; perfect...

I love that Pontiac has a quaint little coffee shop. It's a great place to work while I'm visiting, as well as a solid cup of coffee.

The last time I was there, an aroma was wafting through the place. Come to find out they were baking coffee cake for distribution to Bloomington. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a piece and let me tell ya. If you catch them at baking time and you can snag a piece of this, you won't regret it.

The only bad thing I can say about the shop, is that on occasion, I've had a few shots of espresso, and it's been screaming hot, but that's an easy temp adjustment. Other than that, the service is great! The coffee, whether you get drip or a latte, great! And the scones and coffee...
