Incredible coffee, atmosphere, and people! This is THE spot in Baldwin City. If you want amazing…read morecoffee this is the only place to get it. Baristas are kind and knowledgeable but are NOT condescending at all. This shop is connected to Cranberry Market which is a floral boutique and cute shop for Knick knacks. But don't worry, there's plenty of room for you and your friends. They offer alternative milk, too!

Great little shop! This place is a highlight of Baldwin. I was stopping through for their annual…read moremaple leaf festival and was craving some good coffee. I wasn't sure I would find what I was looking for until I walked in here. They have such a nice environment and inviting seating areas. The coffee was a rich flavor and the latte art was pleasantly done. I will say they are truly doing craft coffee here. I'm very excited to come here again!

I'm so happy they reopened. They literally have the best iced coffee's and lattes in town!read more

I'm a tourist in Ottawa and my colleague Jayne A. took me to Mug Shot Coffee. Just walking in, I…read moregot a feeling of coziness, definitely a place to hang-out, work or simply need a picker-upper. We were greeted by Abby, Emma, and Savannah; told them I was from CA, and offered to make me any drink that was not even on their menu. Of course, I went for their popular items, got a Spirit of the Braves and The Librarian, and you can definitely tell the difference how amazing the coffee is from a Local Coffee Shop! I love the decor; the artworks are AMAZING, especially the Camera of a register! This is a must stop in Ottawa! Thank you for the hospitality!

My sister and I also got one of each flavor of macaron to share and they were great. The birthday cake was our favorite but we loved all three. The service was good. Friendly, but not overly so. The shop is super cute as well. I love that they make some of their own syrups now too!

A pickled or candied version would've balanced nicely and brought more flavor contrast. The tenderloin sandwich was dry and needed more sauce for sure. Fries were nicely seasoned though. All in all, it'll work if you need a quick bite, but it didn't spark much excitement. Service was a little slow too considering how (not) busy they were.

Full disclosure I came here with a lot of uncertainty. There's a TON of coffee shops in Lawrence…read moreand they all aren't created equal. I took a meeting here and the person I was meeting with gave me a few local options. This was the place I hadn't been yet so I thought I'd go a bit out of my comfort zone and try a new spot. Something I was nervous about from the photos on Yelp was if there would be enough inside seating when I arrived for a meeting. When I pulled up, I was still a bit anxious about this as the front lot was full and I had to pull to the back to park. Once I got out of my car and walked through the cafe to the front to order my anxieties about seating had diminished. It's much larger inside than the outside appears and the photos here on Yelp don't really do the indoors justice. Yes, the outdoor seating is really cute and well shaded so I get why folks focus on it, but if you're like me and wanting to get some work done you'll find a comfortable spot here. Now onto the coffee. As I made my way into the shop I noticed one of my art school professors (we both sort of looked at each other like "do I know you?") and I moved on, but that's a good sign. The art teachers usually know where to snag a decent cup of coffee. When I ordered I tried one of their special drinks and chatted with the baristas about it before I made my choice. Extra points here because not only was the drink really, really good, but the girls working were beyond friendly and answered all of my questions. I'm not lying when I say this was one of the best cups of coffee I've had in Lawrence in some time. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Usually I absolutely love Uplift. Lately I've been obsessed with their vanilla orange iced matcha…read morelatte. So of course today I went to the drive thru on 6th to order one. When I got to the window it took a min or two for the girl to notice me. She was on her phone.. which is okay but she didn't wash her hands before starting to make my drink. Then I saw her pull down some cup out of the matcha bin and warm up with whisk with water (totally normal matcha stuff) but then she used the water to put into my matcha and I don't know why that kinda grossed me out. Maybe because it was from the matcha bin cup that's in that bin. Then the worst part was the oat milk I wanted had been sitting out and it wasn't warm but it wasn't frosty cold you know? Maybe I shouldn't watch how the sausage is made you know? But idk it just kinda gave me the yuckies and I didn't wanna drink it. Also just overall tip for Uplift, I think the matcha needs a littttke bit more matcha to milk ratio. It's a bit milk heavy. Also maybe a touch more syrup would be perfect! I'm still gonna go back because I believe in you guys. Beautiful drive thru (to get those ambiance points). But yeah I just would like a little more refined.

The scone was unlike any I have had previously. Served warm it was moist and soft, not dry and not hard. The scone and Cortada are the best I can recall having at any coffee shop, including those in Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Onyx Coffee in Northwest Arkansas, Little Rock Arkansas, Evocation Coffee in Amarillo TX, et all. The well-trained barista was friendly, knowledgeable, and did her best to prepare my Cortada just as I liked it. I usually forget to request a ceramic or glass for drinking coffee in the store, but she asked if that was my preference; extra points here! The layout, ambience, cleanliness, and variety of seating in the shop and outside were absolutely perfect. The four or 5 mile drive off the interstate to this coffee shop in an exceptionally small town was an unexpected find I am glad I didn't mess. I don't think you will be disappointed either.
