I was downtown for a client meeting and in search of a place to grab a quick lunch. We stumbled upon the Cupping Room Cafe on West Broadway between Broome and Grand in SoHo. It was very cute inside.
With whimsical art and great, oversize florals.
We sat down with the menu and I absolutely could not decide between eggs benedict and a waffle. So I asked if they could do eggs benny ON a waffle (rather than an english muffin). The waitress said the kitchen was WAY overwhelmed but she could get me a waffle, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce on the side… with a side of bacon. SOLD!
The problem was we waited for our meal to come out… then we waited… then we waited some more. (We were there over 2 and a half hours during LUNCH by the end of everything).
And it was as good as I was hoping for! They even burnt the bacon for me (I like it EXTRA crispy)
My coworker got a beautiful (and LARGE) salad…
…And gazpacho. She liked both very much!
Overall, The Cupping Room Cafe was pretty good. Food was all tasty and well prepared, but it took FOR-EV-ER to come out. It seems like more of a brunch place, and I would go back, but I’m in no rush.
