Mighty Cup

I had to meet a client in downtown Glendale and picked Java the Hut based on its location. Fortunately I got there in advance and had time to contact the client and relocate our meeting. I could hardly believe how dirty and run down the place was. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful which is the only reason for the second star. I wouldn’t recommend this shop except for possibly grabbing a cup to go.

This place has been recently sold, and is now Java the Hutt. Mighty Cup and Spoon was cute and kitschy, Java is cheesy and disappointing. The menu is still the same, and my hot apple cider is very tasty, but this place now makes me sad. It is not the same shop where my fiancé and I met on our first date.

This place has a new name: Java the Hutt. We found them on
and thought we would try them out for lunch. The gal serving us was very sweet. The sandwiches were good. We had to order some danish just to make the $ 20 minimum required for the gift certificate which we haven’t tried yet… will be our dessert for tonight.

This place has actually just changed hands and now goes by the best coffee shop name I have ever come across: JAVA THE HUTT.
Yes, it’s Star Wars themed. But as if that weren’t enough, the coffee is fantastic and the new owner is a lovely woman who simply wants to share her love of coffee and Star Wars with others.

The interior and atmosphere of the Mighty Cup is super cute and cozy, set in this little old house with an adorable «COFFEE» sign outside of it. There were board games available and the couch along the wall reminded me of one my grandma’s.
I came in here twice in one night — the first was for quite possibly the best raspberry vanilla Italian cream soda I’d ever had, and the second time was for a dirty chai and a slice of lemon cake. I finished the cake before I got back to my friend’s work (after the fact, blindly crossing the street while stuffing my face with that delicious baked good might not have been the best idea). The dirty chai was heavy with espresso which pleased me greatly, and it gave me just the pick me up I needed.
If I’m in the area again, I’ll be sure to make a point to go back and I recommend the cakes as much as the coffee!

The guy working was very rude. They closed thirty min early and all sat outside drinking coffee. Then told us they’re closed. When I said your website says your open he yelled again at me and said they’re closed.

Was a very cute little place. Very artsy! Good coffee. Awesome cake!!! Not too sweet and full of flavor. Will be back.

Thanks to another local coffee shop being closed, my friend and I were able to try this place. It was great! The ambience was awesome, the coffee delicious and the staff friendly. We happened to stumble upon open mic night which are held on Tuesday evenings. So glad we did. Nothing beats enjoying some coffee while catching some live tunes. Plus it’s housed in a historic house which adds awesome character to it. This place is a true gem. Starbucks eat your heart out!

Got an Italian soda with vanilla syrup and cream. It was ok. I thought that they also sold bags of coffee.

I came here for a quick drink while working in the area. I have been here before for a cup of coffee although this time I ordered tea.
The tea was nothing special with it basically being what I would buy at Safeway or fryes mixed with some hot water. No specialty blend or real frills. It would be nice if they maybe partnered with a tea shop and sold some unique teas.
The server was nice and friendly but the fact that the coffee shop is actually in an old historic home is the star of the show. Worth the stop just to check out the old house.

The Mighty Cup is a little coffee house with huge personality. We walked over from Haus Murphy’s, attracted by the crowd that was gathered outside watching karaōke. Everyone was very inviting. I had a smoothie which was pretty good. They have sandwiches and a variety of coffee drinks. I also enjoyed looking at the arts and crafts that were for sale. I had a blast, and the crowd was kind when I stepped up to sing.

Being that I was out of town for the long weekend and was in the mood for some coffee, we «Yelped» and found this location. It’s an outdoor setting primarily used for karaōke and entertainment with tables and chairs decorating the front lawn. We made our way into the historic house which has been converted into a coffee house. The lady at the counter (older lady, butch haircut with tattoos) asked what we were having and I kindly asked for any suggestions. The menu contained numerous items and I was hoping she can help me make a decision or at least help stir me in the right direction. What happened next, I wouldn’t have expected in a million years. She rudely replied that she does not know what I like, therefore, she can’t make any recommendations. I usually ask for recommendations especially from new places and I’ve never had this type of response. Again, I proceeded to explain what would be considered their signature drink, something popular with their customers and she again insisted not to help me or willing to make any suggestions. I have asked bartenders, waiters, waitresses and baristas this question many times and I have yet to get a response like this one. They are always friendly and more than willing to share their top sellers or most popular drinks. I was so floored by her response and attitude that I simply decided not to give her my business, walked-​out with no drink and appalled by her rude behavior. If ever I’m in Glendale, I know NEVER to visit this coffee house again.

Went here after our Shot of Java experience. Place is not dirty, but not clean either. Most of the patrons (3), seem to have an aversion to personal cleanliness. Spent $ 10 on two smoothies and threw them in the garbage a block away. Come on Glendale!

Came in for a quick cup of Joe during Glitter n Glows. Was my first time here but I did enjoy the old restored house with different rooms where you can sit and talk to friends and drink coffee. All I had on my trip was a cup of coffee but I would like to come back for a speciality drink or sandwich. I know my time was limited here but it had a very positive vibe, similar to the Phoenix classic The Willow House. It’s almost like The Willow House was moved from central Phx to downtown Glendale.lol.

Nice little coffee spot in old down town Glendale. Cute artsy crafts, purses, jewelry, nic naks. Nice little hide away.
Free WI-​FI

This is the real deal with this place. It’s adorable and the area surrounding it is adorable. Nestled in old town Glendale among beautiful masonry buildings and historic store front converted residences… It’s really cute. I love that it’s in an old house and I like how friendly the vibe is. I hear they do lots of open mic nights and show movies, and that’s cool.
In general I’d say it has a lot of potential to be great, but could use a little finesse. However, most of the clientele probably is fine with it just the way it is– and catering to your demographic is the most important thing.
So, I think if you are in the area, this is a fun little spot to get some coffee and chat with friends.

The Mighty Cup: Making ‘old town’ Glendale less boring one open mic night at a time. I’ve always enjoyed seeing some acoustic, or even stand up comedy while I sip on a late-​night latte.
The coffee itself is decent, and the motif here is – you guessed it, a «mighty» sized beverage to keep you buzzed all night. There’s a wide variety, and you can compliment your drink with a small menu of cakes, pastries, or hot sandwiches.
The look of the place is… well, antique. It’s an old house. Nothing fancy. Everything artsy. If you’re trying to rebel against mainstream coffee, this is a great place to start.

I drink coffee daily and have lived in the Pacific Northwest for the past ten years for background purposes.
In regards to the Not So Mighty Cup. The coffee is good, but overpriced. The service is below average.
With that being said, if I lived around the corner I would probably come here. Thank the Creator I don’t live in downtown Glendale.

I have been here probably 4 – 5 times and havent been disappointed even once !! The coffee is very gud… On Fiday nites they have a karaōke outside on the lawn… I think most of the local folks stayin in and around glendale downtown come here to have a fun nite !!
The coffee shop is a house converted. It has room with nice neat things which is nice to see… I have a gud time every time i go here !!

Rob Halford-​inspired stuffed mermen. That is my biggest impression from my (so-​far) single visit to the Mighty Cup. No, I’m not kidding.
My hubby & I met with a good friend here, for a bit of a send-​off over a late-​night cuppa. I chose it, based on other, positive Unilocaler postings (thanks!).
What I really liked:
1. This place was open until 10 pm-​ish. In downtown Glendale, that is unheard of.
2. It’s close enough to Glendale Ave so that I wasn’t nervous about parking there at night.
3. The space is a re-​used house, reminiscent of the early days of the original Willow House. Small and homey.
4. It’s crammed full of really funky, locally-​made arts and crafts. I was dying to buy one of the leather mermen (seriously, I’ll have to post the pic I took) but I need another knickknack like a hole in the head. Other items included pin-​up door hangers and hand-​painted fans.
5. The iced dark mocha that I got was really good, super rich tasting even though it was nonfat. Hubby was ok with his usual iced triple latte — he rarely gets excited about anything. I can’t recall the price for two ‘grande’-sized drinks, but I’m pretty sure it was under $ 10, including tip.
What I wasn’t so thrilled about:
1. The wait. I totally get that it’s a bare-​bones, relaxed staff and that we were there on movie night, but should it really take a full 5 minutes per drink, when the three of us were the only paying customers? I must mention, though, the woman who was providing service was very nice. Just really slow. I’ll have to remember to put my ‘relaxed’ hat on, the next time I go. I’m usually in such a rush, that I get easily irritated with those who aren’t at the same pace. So, I’ll file this under ‘expect it when I return’… and I will return. =)
