About The Cup Diner
The Cup Diner is more than just a local restaurant; it’s a home away from home for countless members of the community. “We find ourselves becoming acquainted with our customers. They are friends and we make them feel comfortable.” said Frank. Coined, as a local town favorite.
The Koffee Kup, has been part of the community for over two decades. Owners, Frank and Donna Woodsby stumbled across the restaurant in 2001, and decided to take a leap of faith and continue their family legacy right here in St. Cloud.
The Koffee Kup had already been running for some previous five years under different management. “When we bought it back then, it was a great business,” said Frank. “The place had the best reputation in St. Cloud. We just took a good place and made it better,” Frank continued.
“The town here is wonderful, and we believe giving back to the community and helping people is the key,”
“We try to keep the prices low and we serve nothing but the best quality,”
Frank and Donna in 2020 decided to drop the K’s and give the Koffee Kup a new name, The Cup Diner. Focused on family, The Cup Diner will continue to be managed by Frank and Donna’s three kids Franky, Tanya and Tiffany. As a whole, the Woodsby family strives to provide exceptional service. “We try to keep the prices low and we serve nothing but the best quality,” said Frank. “We have servers that have been here for 23 years and a cook that has been here for 18,” said Frank.
Working his way up the ladder, Frank decided to buy another restaurant after working for Imperial Lakes Country Club as head chef for six years. It was called Frank’s Fast and the Best Sandwich Shop, which he owned for 15 years.
Frank and Donna moved to North Carolina and bought Franky and Donnas’ Kitchen, running it for about three years. Shortly after, an opportunity arose for the family to come back to Florida, when they decided to plant their family’s future with The Cup Diner.
Frank and Donna seem to be very happy and right at home with The Cup Diner. “The town here is wonderful, and we believe giving back to the community and helping people is the key,” said Frank. He and his wife strive to give back to the community by teaming up with the 13th Street Methodist Church for the past five years to feed the homeless. They also frequently participate in hospital visits with the Golden Girls Awareness Group. The Cup Diner also holds a customer appreciation party during December holiday season. “The locals are what keeps us going. We have been so blessed here and with the economy so bad, we haven’t raised our prices in three years,” said Frank.
From Frank, his family and everyone at The Cup Diner: “We hope to see you at The Cup.”
