The Cup Cafe is a not for profit cafe located in the basement of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Houlton, offering a full line of espresso coffee drinks, specialty teas, homemade treats, free wifi, and a cozy space to gather with friends.

The Cup Cafe is about community and supporting the arts. Along with free wifi, the cafe has comfortable seating and a flat screen TV for viewing movies and media presentations. The space is available to rent for private parties, community classes, or business meetings.

Coffeehouses and cafés have always provided “a third place” (the first and second places being home and the workplace) where people can relax and socialize while getting a decent cup of coffee at the same time. Our aim is to create a space for extended conversations, the exchange of ideas and an appreciation of the arts. 

Before Covid-19 closed down operations the cafe was running an “event-based” schedule; open for events such as coffeehouse, film night, pizza night, dances, concerts, craft sales, etc…

Our amazing all-volunteer staff has kept the cafe running since 2012 and we’re hoping to re-open as soon as advisable.
