Saw this place reviewed on Tiktok and came to check it out. Wonderful staff that are so friendly and genuine, prices that are extremely reasonable, food that is incredible, and amazing coffee. We had the Blueberry Bagel and Biscoff Toast. Both incredible and wonderful serving sizes. We thought we might struggle to finish but it was just so yummy, we can't wait to come back. Thanks Fav Cup!

Cute little cafe with a big big personality. That is how we would describe @favcupcafe. Serving probably the biggest selection of bagels in Canberra, you’d wanna check this place out yourself . Along with bagels, they do a number of other breakfast and brunch options so if bagels aren’t your thing they’ve got you covered. We tried: bacon and egg bagel Moo bagel Thai beef salad Milk Coffees Biscoff toast They currently have the thick bread, Shokupan toast series done in some beautiful flavours that is not to be missed. We ordered the Biscoff just because … it’s so good Great coffees and wonderful staff. Open seven days a week, definitely worth checking out.

Fav Cup is easily one of my new favourite cafés in Canberra. The staff is very friendly, Joe especially is very welcoming and hospitable. I’ve tried coffee at almost every popular spot in the city, and their house blend is on another level, smooth, rich, with beautiful dark chocolate and caramel notes. The food is just as impressive. I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, which was fresh and perfectly balanced, while my wife enjoyed the big breakfast, generous, hearty, and cooked just right. Their bagels are also a highlight, and everything pairs perfectly with the coffee. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere and real attention to quality, Fav Cup is a gem I’ll keep coming back to.

Fav Cup specialises in bagels here and you can have a variety of bagels from plain to savoury to sweet so plenty to choose from. All are excellent I am sure. I ordered a smashed avo bagels with a poached egg and my mate ordered smoker salmon. We both liked it. The hot chocolate was my too bad, but I like their bagels more. Regards @fooderarri

Service was quick and friendly, price was good. Was very quiet for a Sat morning which was surprising given the solid quality of food. Bacon and egg Bagel was good, probably the best one you’re going to get in Canberra, asked them to go light on the Cream cheese which I think was the right move to avoid a food coma heaps of filling but a little oily. Coffee was a standard flat white, good taste but not hot enough. (Not talking old person extra hot, it was well below normal person drinking temp).
