The Main Cup is located in Historic Downtown Middletown, Maryland. Its name is derived from the building’s history which began over 100 years ago when C.F. Main began making and selling ice cream here. Main’s Ice Cream and Butcher Shop became a Maryland institution as the business grew regionally. Presidents and state officials were known to stop at Main’s on their way to Shangri-La, now known as Camp David. Ice cream was last churned here in 1969 and the Main family subsequently sold the factory.

The Main Cup is proud to be the new owners of this historic landmark once again serving the community and establishing it’s self as Middletown’s gathering place. Offering a fine selection of organic coffees roasted right here in Frederick County, organic teas, specialty drinks, baked goods, salads, and sandwiches; you’ll find a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy your time. Oh yes, we couldn’t forget, we will be serving ice cream!

The Main Cup offers free wireless internet in three separate seating areas and on our patio. Come and experience our great coffee, delicious food and glorious history.
