Mallis Coffee Cup was a diner at the corner of E Liberty St and S Fourth Ave. It opened in September 1962 with counter seating for 20. In 1964, the restaurant expanded into adjacent space on S Fourth Ave and added booth seating.

Angelo T. Mallis and his wife Urania 'Nitsa' Mallis were the owners. Angelo died in 2020 at the age of 92, and Nitsa passed away in 2003 at the age of 74. They had moved to Alpharetta, GA where they owned a pizza business, Pizza by Nitsa, for 14 years.

The location later was the home of Liberty Junction (date uncertain), Bill's Coffee Cup (1983), the short-lived Cafe Alfonso (1993), and the Cloverleaf Restaurant (closed 2021). The Mallis family also owned Mallis Steak-Out.
