We knew this day would come; the local government would say it’s okay to start reopening. Yesterday, the State of Illinois presented its new guidelines for Phase 3 reopening of various businesses and organizations beginning Friday, May 29th, which include all bars and restaurants within the state.
This means us. It’s time to get back to work!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, June 2nd at 7am because Katie's Cup coffeebar will be back in operation to fulfill all of your coffee and lunch (and breakfast) needs! We may be running a little differently (curbside service only), but we still have the same delicious JavaMania Coffee Roastery coffee, fresh-made sandwiches and salads, and lots of smiles ready to brighten your day.
TWO WAYS TO ORDER: You will be able to place orders via phone at 815.986.0628 during our new business hours (Monday - Friday, 7am - 2pm) or on our NEW online menu at Katiescup.com/order.
HOW IT WORKS: When you order, you will receive a Pick-Up time via phone or email (depending on how you placed the order). Just head to Katie's Cup at your assigned time, call us to let us know you're here, we'll ask a couple of questions (name on order, model and color of vehicle), and we'll run your order out to you. Contactless delivery to your back seat or truck is not a problem. Just let us know!
Need to modify an order? Have a question? Please call us at 815.986.0628 during business hours prior to pick-up as we cannot make any changes to your order or accept any returns or exchanges once your order is completed. All orders must be paid in full at time of ordering; our staff cannot accept any payments curbside.
THE CHANGES – WHY…?/WHY NOT…?: As we navigate this new and uncertain landscape of the restaurant industry in the midst of a pandemic crisis, we are choosing to initially limit our hours as we implement a graduated reopening plan in conjunction with all state and local health and safety guidelines. We get it. Everyone wants to go back to “normal”. So do we, but we want our customers, staff, and volunteers to stay safe, so we’re opting to take a “slow-and-steady” approach. We do have plans around expanding our hours and services (door-front carryout, anyone? Outdoor seating?), the eventual reopening of our gathering spaces (soon, we hope), and are excited to eventually unveil them. In the meantime, we will take our first steps back towards serving the local community as we have for the past decade.
We love you and we miss serving you in a more personal setting. We will get there again. We’re just not there yet. We’re so appreciative of your patronage during this challenging time and we hope you are able to continue supporting our mission to share love and connection through coffee, conversation, and community every day. Check back soon for all of the latest news and we'll see you very soon at the Cup!
