The Neighborhood Cup

Friends and Neighbors
Have you ever heard of the “Third Place”? It is a place away from home and away from work where people can come together to relax, hang out, and get to know each other in a neutral and comfortable atmosphere. The Neighborhood Cup is that “Third Place” where, together, we will celebrate big and small occasions and everyday accomplishments. [top]

Local Business Relationships
Building relationships with local businesses through networking, cross-marketing, and genuine friendships is important. The Neighborhood Cup is an independent, family-run business and we look forward to working within our local business community. [top]

Community, Charities, Support
As a member of our exciting community, The Neighborhood Cup will take part in supporting local concerns and hosting cause-related fundraising and charitable events. We will work jointly on efforts benefiting such groups as the local fire and police agencies, the public library, and groups that support awareness and solutions for issues like breast cancer, domestic violence, illiteracy, and child illnesses. We recognize that each one of us has been somehow impacted by one of life’s many challenges and if we all stand up together, incredible victories will be won. [top]

Environmental Responsibility
As the coffee industry grows, coffee grounds are taking up more valuable landfill space. The Neighborhood Cup will offer used coffee grounds to customers and nurseries to use as compost. We will provide recycling containers to further assist in recycling efforts. The Neighborhood Cup will sponsor informational programs in order to help us all learn more about what we can do to protect our precious environment. [top]

Art
The Neighborhood Cup has an art gallery that will display the works of local and national artists. See amazing works in a variety of styles. Join us as we welcome in each featured artist with a special monthly gallery event. Come and meet the artist and find out what has inspired them and how they created their masterpieces. [top]

Music
The beautiful atrium that is part of the Orange County Public Library provides a perfect venue for musicians to showcase their talents. The Neighborhood Cup will be the place to enjoy the diverse sounds of local musicians — jazz, folk, acoustic, blues and much more. [top]

Entertainment and Activities
Throughout the week, The Neighborhood Cup will sponsor various activities like chess tournaments, poetry readings, food and drink tastings, open mic nights and TV Variety Show Nostalgia Night. Informational short programs and speakers will be offered during the day for you to take part in during lunch break or while waiting for children to finish library activities ...or just to get out on a nice day.

Customer Service
The Neighborhood Cup is committed to always providing the highest standard of customer service from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you’re on your way out. We recognize that great customer service requires a friendly smile, effective communication and delivery of products made and served with care. [top]

Menu Quality
Through extensive research, product testing, continuing education and a creative flare, we have created a menu that will WOW you and remain consistently wonderful day in and day out. [top]

Menu Selection
We offer a full espresso bar, specialty award-winning gourmet coffee and whole beans, loose leaf teas, refreshing ice blended drinks, 100% real fruit smoothies, and other stimulating beverages — both hot and cold.

Coffee and Tea
Coffee beans are imported and exported all over the world. The United States is the largest importer of coffee yet with little known about where your favorite coffee comes from. At The Neighborhood Cup, we will provide information about the origin of coffee and how it gets from a hillside a half a world away to the unique aroma and exquisite tasting beverage we see in our cups. Tea is just as diverse as coffee and with its tremendous growth in popularity it is right up there with coffee in worldwide consumption.

We’re not just pouring you a plain cup of Joe. At The Neighborhood Cup, your morning coffee, your mid-day blended mocha, or your evening hot tea will be a story and an experience that is… more than just coffee. [top]
