Cafe Cups on Pioneer Avenue is the kind of place a small town with an arts scene produces: good espresso, hand-lettered menus, local art covering the walls, and a regular cast of writers, painters, fishing guides, and off-grid homesteaders at the tables. The coffee is proper, the pastries are from Two Sisters Bakery next door, and the atmosphere is what Homer is actually about when you get away from the Spit.
Open mornings and afternoons; often hosts acoustic music in the evenings during the summer season. A reliable place to warm up, dry out, and get a sense of the real town.
