For fall 2014, The Cup Cafe has added 9 new dishes to their breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus.

Everyone’s favorite hotel-meets-bar-meets-nightclub-meets-restaurant has really stepped up their food game in the last few years. For the longest time it seemed like The Cup Cafe menus would never change. Though many of the popular dishes they’re known for remain on the menu, plenty of new items have been added and continue to be added seasonally.

The Cup Cafe has always been good, but they’ve gotten even better with their talented team, including Executive Chef Michael Byrer, Chef Karl De La Ossa (who recently was awarded Best Mild Salsa at the Salsa & Tequila Challenge), and Mixologist, David Clark (picked up the People’s Choice award for his El Santo Punch at the Salsa & Tequila Challenge).

While the bulk of the new items appear on the dinner menu, breakfast and lunch each gained an item, as well.

The 9 new items are as follows:

Breakfast
