Fresh bagels, huge biscuits, delicious jam, unique sandwich options, and a variety of coffee options! The staff was lovely, even when I had to get my check adjusted. Def would stop again!

Grabbed mocha coffee and green matcha and food to go. Waited a bit but food was hot and delicious. My mocha wasn’t very hot. The staff works hard and is very friendly. The restaurant seemed clean although two yellow sofa chairs were soiled, a turn off. Overall, still give this breakfast nook five stars. Thank you for serving my wife and I.

A welcome respite from hotel breakfast! We visited Mean Mug this morning and will likely go back tomorrow. Not sure what is different about their coffee but it was perfect. It was nice to see a vegetarian selection beyond toast. I ordered the grits and veggies bowl with tofu scramble, and it was delicious. Update: Have been there two more times this trip. I also tried the egg and avocado toast, iced matcha latte, breakfast croissant with vegetarian sausage, and split a cinnamon roll with my partner. All food has been amazing!

Stopped in here while on a road trip. Simple decor and atmosphere that is very relaxing . Food came out hot, fruit was fresh, and order completed as requested. Prices were on point for the great quality of the meal. Greeted with a smile and willingness to help. We will definitely stop in again.

I love coming to this Mean Mug before work every day! The location is super convenient for me, and I love their coffee and breakfast/lunch options (my usual is a Caprese with Turkey). Their prices are also a lot better than going to Starbucks down the road, and the crew gets to know their regulars so I always get good service. With this being a local shop, I would expect a slightly longer wait on busy days, but it’s totally worth it for my daily cup of mocha.

This coffee shop is tucked away at Hamilton Place and is easy to miss. (It’s across from Dave and Buster’s) I’m glad I was told about it as the latte with oatmilk was the smoothest I’ve had, with a rich flavor. My companion had the breakfast bowl, and while it did not look like a lot of food, It was very filling and she did not finish it. The kale, sweet pepper, and avocado were so fresh and vibrant, they almost looked picture perfect. She pronounced it excellent and her favorite breakfast. The display case is full of delicious looking scones and cinnamon rolls that are huge. There is a nice outside patio, and inside, plenty of seating and power ports for working. The 20-oz latte was 4 and the breakfast bowl 9.50. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
