I am a girlie from SoCal and I LOVE coffee. I married a stellar Allegan guy, and every time I come to visit his family, I NEED to make a stop at Mug Shots (maybe twice. or three times). Missy is amazing--she is a friend of the family and always remembers my order. She also always makes sure she has GF oatmeal cookies in stock. YUM! My brother and sister in law love their sandwiches, too. The vibes are also great--cozy, hometown coffee shop. The patio is beautiful in the summer. It overlooks the boardwalk and is the perfect shady place to sip an iced latte. Mug Shots is a MUST for anyone visiting downtown Allegan!! read more

Amazing location and great scenery, as well as a really good vibe when you come in. Choice of a coffee or espresso, etc. specialty coffees and not limited just coffee, but some eats as well. Great location and kind of unknown to me when I first looked in yelp to find a place to go have some good coffee. read more

Excellent Coffee, sandwiches and salads. I love the owner and I can drink as much coffee as I work all day. It's amazing. Please, if you haven't tried it, get to Mugshots and enjoy a cup of great coffee! read more

Ok Allegan, you have a sweet little coffee shop! We stopped in to get a hot chocolate for the kids, not expecting much, and what a sweet surprise we found in Mugshots! The staff are great, the menu is wonderful, and the setting is gorgeous. The outdoor deck area is quite enchanting with two seating levels surrounded by trees and greenery. Super glad to have stumbled upon this place! read more

My wife and I enjoy our food and coffee at Mugshots and have always been treated kindly and received great service.

I love this little coffee house. I met up with a friend of mine here after wanting to visit since last spring. I really love the updated, clean atmosphere. The building itself is old and has a lot of character, but inside has enough seating for several groups including a patio area for the warmer months. They have several sugar free options for coffee flavors as well as milk alternatives, perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions or trying to eat better. Soups, salads, and sandwiches are the options for food, pretty standard for a coffee shop. I had the chef salad, which was a huge portion for $7. I am looking forward to returning in the very near future. read more

Mugshots Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Allegan, Michigan

Fantastic place with great staff and affordable! Coffee selections are numerous, and breakfast/lunch selections are nice. Wifi is available but iffy though, use your hotspot. read more

Such an amazing location! Great place to meet up with friends! I just moved to Allegan and was desperate to find a good cup of coffee in this tiny town. I didn't find it. I really wanted to like this place but the coffee was lukewarm and was mediocre at best which is unfortunate. I had a vanilla latte and my husband had a cortado. We just moved from Minneapolis and maybe we're spoiled by the awesome coffee we had there but since this spot is the only real option in town, you might want to run an inservice with your staff on how to improve the overall taste of your coffee so that it doesn't taste like low quality powder vanilla in watered down espresso-ish fluid. read more

The coffee is by far some of the best I've ever had! The employees answer any questions you have, & give great recommendations. The Mountie is the best breakfast bagel!! Overall the vibe & environment is amazing. 10-10!! read more

Always a delicious place for lunch in downtown allegan. It's a true local gem. I get the Ralphie everytime :)

I like mugshots. Their iced lattes tend to taste a lot like plain coffee, and are quite overpriced, but if you're looking for a speedy cup or meal I definitely recommend. The service is very quick and the workers are very kind. It really gives off a calming but very coffee shop-esque ambience. read more

Great food great service. Staff was friendly and food was delivered to our table quickly. This is a hidden gem.

Amazing coffee Sweet loving and such a great place to go grab a coffee so beautiful and warming read more

I had a smoothie and a scone and both were delicious! The coffeehouse is set in a beautiful setting, right by the river. I will definitely go again! read more

This is my favorite coffeehouse by far! I really wish we had a mugshots back home and it will be really upsetting to never get this again (unless I have a reason to come back to Allegan). I've been in Michigan for work recently and really wanted to avoid going to Starbucks at all costs so I found this coffeehouse down the street! The inside is beautiful and I could definitely see myself relaxing inside working on something or reading a book! The employees are EXTREMELY kind and actually remembered me after my first visit! I even bought one of their thermal mugs to support and remember them by (insert sad tear). They also have amazing prices! When you buy their coffee thermal mug every refill is only ONE DOLLAR. Can't beat that at all! They usually have 6 coffee flavors that you can readily choose from if you just want to keep it simple but you can add plenty other options to it like syrup (even unsweetened sugar free which I enjoyed). Such a great coffeehouse on all accounts! read more

We have used Mug Shots three times for catering and they have never disappointed us. Their food is absolutely delicious. They are on time and set a beautiful buffet table. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is great. We enjoy dining at the restaurant also. Food and drink are quickly served and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing coffee with an even better price! Food is always delicious and freshly made, also priced very well! I prefer this coffee over Biggby any day. Staff is also very friendly! read more

My husband and I moved from a big city to Allegan in 2018 and we did not find this gem until Summer of 2021. We absolutely love the quaint atmosphere, exceptional service and fabulous food. Thank you for staying steady and cool when most franchises are struggling with hiring, service and food quality. We will continue to "eat small & local" and patronize Mugshots! read more

Great lunch food, staff is fantastic, excellent affordable pricing. Highly recommend.

Nice little sandwich/coffee shop in downtown Allegan. I had the Ralphie sandwich and it was awesome! Very cozy and clean inside. Very good service. read more

I know the owners I've never been to Mugshots but I want to try it someday I've heard so many good things about this coffeehouse it's too bad they can't be open because of COVID-19 I don't know if they do take out like I said I know the owners the Mandell family are some of the nicest people you'll meet. read more

Great location atmosphere, courteous staff and quality food. This is a great stop off for lunch, breakfast, or just a cup of coffee. The staff always does a great job and are extremely helpful. read more

I've been a fan of Mugshots since they opened their doors. I haven't been by for a while though and that's only because my daily schedule has changed a bit. However, a friend recently told me Mugshots makes killer gluten free cookies. I was in need of a few for a visiting friend. I was also told they fly off out of the dessert case quickly so I decided to stop in and make a special order. Corina was very accommodating and the next day I picked up a half dozen of the chocolate chippers. Knowing next to nothing about gluten free food I didn't expect much in the way of texture or flavor. Boy, howdy, was I wrong and totally surprised. I was so happy I got 6 of those babies. We sent 3 home with our friend and kept the rest. Double hummers! Thanks, Mugshots. I'll be back for more. read more

This place is great. The service is always awesome! Nice relaxing atmosphere. Coffees and teas for just about anyone's taste. The food is great! I've tried several entrees and various bakery items. read more

Favorite coffee shop ever! Staff is always super inviting, and if you have questions on a menu item they'll gladly explain it in great detail. All the names of coffee are famous mobsters, or some kind of slag word from the 20s. It revolves a lot around 1920s Chicago era. And I absolutely love it! I usually get The Doll, but since it was the day before Christmas I decided to get something a little more festive, so I got The Eggnog Latte. Super fantastic! I have only had their food once, which was a huge cinnamon roll, and oh my gosh... yum! Mug Shots is always a go-to when I'm home! read more

Mugshots Coffeehouse - The front counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Allegan, Michigan

Gluten Free options! GF bread available for any sandwich/wrap. Lots of salads too. Coffee, smoothies, & bottles drinks. Cool atmosphere & friendly staff. Loved the BYO Grilled Cheese: pick 2 cheeses & 2 veggies...or more for more $...served w/carrots & hummus, fruit, or kettle chips. I "built" a delicious grilled cheese w/gf bread, mozzarella, provolone, grilled zucchini, & spinach. TASTY! Minor error. Both my husband & I asked for greens on our grilled cheeses...both did not have them. Easy fix to go to the counter & get a side plate of them; just not melted into it. Not a huge deal but ya wanna get what you ordered. read more

Great small town coffee house with an big city feel. Drinks are fairly good and food is so - so. The atmosphere is so peaceful as they are located along the riverfront. Very clean and well kept even during peak hours. read more

GREAT SERVICE. much nicer than I expected. Good coffee. Good food--sandwiches and other lighter fare. Nice homemade pastries and desserts. Great source for loose tea and interesting coffees for take home. Very clean and open inside. Cute area(s) outside to eat. This was a surprising treat for us in Allegan. I hope they make it and continue to help downtown Allegan return! read more

In the little town of Allegan there are gangsters but only at this place which inspired the name. The classic Americano I ordered was a good effort with decent strength. Mug Shots seating area is not overly crowded so drink/ food can be enjoyed. Out back is a pleasant view of trees to take in. So it is worth checking in to try this coffee joint if you're in the area and crave caffeine. read more
