For more than 20 years, The Cup Diner, formally known as the Koffee Kup, has served as a home away from home for locals and visitors alike.
The Cup Diner knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so the restaurant makes dishes that everyone in your family can enjoy.

Substantial Sandwiches at 10th Street Produce
What started as a small roadside produce stand has grown into a large greengrocer and deli. Family-owned and operated since 2013, 10th Street Produce grew fast with Osceola County locals and soon moved into the prettiest corner building in Downtown St. Cloud. Because this spot provides a wholesome, big sandwich-style experience, they recently expanded a third time to accommodate inside seating and more local groceries from nearby farms.
You can get any sandwich you want here, stacked up with meat, cheese, and toppings.
There are so many people from New Jersey in St. Cloud, the owners started carrying Taylor Ham for breakfast, so if you need your fix while you’re visiting us from the North, you know where to go! If you’re looking for that deli experience with a big sandwich, cut in half, and wrapped in wax paper to-go, make 10th Street Produce your first stop when exploring St. Cloud! (P.S. If you arrive closer to the “lunch” part of brunch, you can get a Lobster Roll on Fridays.)
