coffee and drinks in muncie.

Coffee poured. Chai steaming. A cold drink on a warm afternoon. The Cup is a neighborhood coffee house on University Avenue, and most of what happens here starts with something in a cup.

We keep it simple: espresso, chai, smoothies, and the drinks people come back for. Browse the menu when you want the full list.

Espresso is the center of the bar. Shots pulled to order, milk steamed at the counter, drinks handed over warm.

Order it small and quick on the way to class, or large and slow on a morning with nowhere to be. Iced, when the weather asks for it.

Chai has its own following here. Spiced, warm, and steady — the drink people order when coffee isn't quite what the day calls for.

It's the kind of thing you hold with both hands in February, sitting near the window while the street goes by outside.

Smoothies, blended thick and cold. Iced drinks that make the walk back to campus shorter.

In Muncie the seasons swing hard, and the cold side of the menu gets busy the second the weather turns.

Before class. After work. Somewhere in between. What you order tends to follow what kind of hour you're having.

A drink usually comes with something to eat — see breakfast until 3pm, bagels, and paninis. If you're coming from campus, coffee near Ball State is a short trip. And if you're new to us, learn more about The Cup.
