With our humble beginning as a coffeehouse in the spring of 2007, in only a year we have become a full service restaurant offering patrons some of the best made-to-order casual gourmet fare in Frederick County. Tantalizing salads, homemade soups, crab cakes and evening plated fare can all be complimented with cocktails from our full bar. You'll be sure to enjoy this dining experience! Visit our newly expanded bar & dining area which was completed & opened in early 2013! The Main Cup offers free wireless internet in three separate seating areas and on our patio. Come and experience our great coffee, delicious food and glorious history.
