Laura Fuller continues to make this place a booming local business. Everything is sourced locally. The old coffee shop feels like a nice country store and things look and in many cases are more like homemade. Cupcakes from the Buttery and Sandwitches either made in-house or nearby local places. This is the hometown place to come like a scene out of a Hallmark Christmas Special! Thanks Laura for all you do for the community of Winchester and nearby cities and towns.

Amazing! A couple years ago this small local coffee shop volunteered to help my brother with his capstone project. He’s disabled so this required a degree of patience and dedication from the staff to help him. I am truly grateful for their willingness to help out when so many other places would not. The food is amazing. The blueberry scone and carrot cake muffin paired amazingly well with cinnamon coffee. I will definitely come back to this locally owned, small business. Staff was very friendly. The put a plastic barrier up for COVID. Nearby parking.

Lovely coffee shop, lots of other food related things to pick up inside ranging from baked goods, prepared lunches, drinks, and snacks. Highly recommended!

This place has good food and coffee, and has a MILLION local items for sale in there too which is AWESOME (mostly food, but some other stuff too). They also have a few outdoor tables, which is much appreciated! I felt obliged to deduct one star though (woulda done 4.5 if i could) as I always have to wait a modest-to-long time for placing my order and getting the goods, but it is ALWAYS worth it. The staff is always hustling to do the orders, just is what it is due to how popular they are :). Also their inside area is necessarily small so can get a lil cozy with a few other customers for covid etc, but everyone is respectful and the town has an indoor mask mandate right now which I appreciate. Also they dont really seem to have a published menu online nor in store, but they are very willing to talk you through the ordering options when you get to the counter. Im just thinking that maybe an online menu and/or printed/posted menus would help with the wait times (albiet itd be a little less human interaction :) ).

This is a special place. The minute you walk in you can feel the positive energy. The staff & owner are the absolute best and deliver a world class customer experience. The coffee cappuccinos all drinks are great & tasty. I also love the home made goodies like the frittata. They also carry other packaged delish snacks. You need to go here and experience it for yourself today ♥️💃 ☕️ 🍪 🥰

The shop can be bustling with that morning coffee traffic, but worth the wait. The cold brew and housemade syrups are divine and the owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly towards all her customers. Definitely my preferred coffee shop when in the area (and could the locale get any more charming?).

We placed an order for pick up, and when we got there, we were surprised by all the local products that were available at this store. Everything from bagels, to chocolate to honey to soda to pre-made salad, this place offers local products to support small businesses.We ordered a breakfast wrap with egg, cheese and bacon and it was delicious. The bacon was clearly higher quality, a thicker cut. We also had a chocolate croissant which was fluffy and tasty, and we had a plain latte which was full of flavor.

People here are amazing. Staff and the owner Laura is superb. She supports local artists and let them hang their art on her cafe for free. Always felt welcome whenever i come here. And of course the drinks are great. And the local made cookies and pastries. I Will never go to any coffee shop in Winchester other than Fuller cup.

Supporting locally owned small businesses aside, the vast selection of tasty food and beverages here are fantastic reasons to visit. Or if you just want to meet the incredibly kind and hard-working owner Laura.

Great little cafe. Their latte is spot on with dairy free milk options and homemade flavors. Best latte I’ve had in a long time coming from Boston. Delicious vegan options including donuts. Also bacon egg/sausage and cheese wraps and other lunch items. Perfect

Laura is awesome and so is the food they prepare. I went on today after not being in for a while and she has expanded her food product line with many items, and a lot of them are locally sourced; raviolis, gnocchi, sauce, chocolate, delicious empanadas and the list goes on. Go by and pick up easy, delicious ingredients for a quick dinner!

Review №22

Delicious fudge brownies paired lovely with my ice latte and ice americano. My sister says the iced hot chocolate was up there in her top three best ever. They have oat milk and great local New England food items. 5 stars, would come back for sure. Why not support mom and pop over the nearby starbucks and nerro chains when you have a health conscious, eco friendly alternative?

Excellent coffee! Paper straws! Cute environment (but small as expected of a little coffee shop) AND Apple Pay is excepted! 5/5 would recommend the coffee. I got a black ice coffee, great full flavor.

Review №38

First time coming here, just wanted to get a latte. There was a couple people ahead of us but we waited 15 minutes just to order. It took about another 20 minutes to get the drinks. The food looked really good, but if youre coming to grab a coffee just know there will be quite the wait. My latte was good, my boyfriends however was very bland. Ill give it 3 stars because my coffee was good however I dont think Ill return for coffee any time soon. Theres two other coffee shops right next door that wouldnt have someone wait that long for drinks.

By Far best Coffee and Cold brew in town. A lot of people dont realize how poor quality of coffee startbucks and cafe nero serve until they try REAL, GOOD coffee! The owner and staff go out of their way to know every regular customer and will know your order when you walk in the door. Thats what a real local business is about!! They also go above and beyond with great homemade pastries and sandwiches. Might have a little wait, but thats because they are always busy!Stop wasting money at starbucks and go here!

As a former employee of the Fuller cup I have to say that it it was an unpleasant working experience place needs a lot of work and management needs some serious help as much as the owner try to be mindful of a person steals ability she just didnt understand I know Im just laying playing I work there as far as payroll as a former employee that Im not being disgruntled Im just giving my opinion this has no bearing on their day-to-day operations this is for my own personal experience is a great place for young kid to work for especially in high school as far as an adult is not a career move I know I work for them you know when you have an issue or concern management doesnt want to hear it from my own experience as far as the food to menus knocked out but I find it over price for a regular person has a regular job to afford it middle eastern Indian food based menu where is the food is good but all you taste is more spice than the actual food itself I recommend the basic sandwich so as far as Im concerned any adult that wants to work there I do not recommend in a dial an adult seeking employment at the full cup and that is my own opinion as a former employee like I said before I am not disgruntled or have any grudges or any of that sort Im just saying my objective opinion as a former employee as review I give it a 2.5 rating

AWESOME. Great atmosphere and selection of food. Best of all was the staff, super genuinely friendly and helpful - something I find rare in my experience especially as a eccentric looking youth. Truly fantastic coffee- recommend the Costa Rican blend! Best part of my day was discovering this place. Cant wait to go back.

The espresso is GREAT! The people are GREAT! The Sanborn Sandwich (a BLT with in house cured bacon) is SUPER GREAT! And Laura, the owner, who somehow knows everyone’s name, makes you feel like you’re her only customer! I can’t recommend this place enough! Parking can be tricky, but don’t give up! Make it happen and get in there!!!

Laura, FULLer Cup, and the FC team are a blessing to Downtown Winchester. They excel in baking, preparation of delicious sandwiches and salads, procuring fine sodas from the Netherlands and Vermont, and they have the best espresso drinks in town. Try the SAP soda (made from maple water) and a sandwich, or a cappuccino and a flaky ham and cheese croissant.Also they have amazing vegan and vegetarian option. Their Mystic Wrap is an explosion of basil hummus and fresh veggies. They use excellent soymilk in their espresso drinks too.
