Welcome to The Lifted Cup Cafe’
Nestled right on Rt. 12 in Barneveld, our cozy little café welcomes you with open arms. We’re all about fresh, high-quality breakfast and lunch options, served up at prices that won’t break the bank.
Our chef and owner, Tim, honed his culinary skills as a Mess Specialist aboard fast-attack submarines during his military career. Now, as a retired veteran, he’s brought his passion for food and hospitality back to his hometown. Alongside his wife, Melanie, he cooks with heart, turning every meal into a labor of love.
At our café, we’re here to keep it simple: delicious food paired with joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of encouragement for our local community. We believe in fellowship that warms the soul—where friends walk in the door and leave as family.
Gift Cards are available for purchase online or in-store!
