The Coffee MUGG

With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

If you've ever been to Germany then you know what real German food tastes like, if you haven't then…read morethe food here may seem great. It's not! It's just okay The service was great, could not have been greater. The prices are a little bit higher than I would have thought. $5.50 for an extra side is a bit much in my opinion.

Yummy!!!!

Nueces Whiskey Library

If you're in Corpus Christi and even remotely appreciate great food, exceptional whiskey, or a…read morewell-executed vibe, Nueces Whiskey Library is an absolute must. This place is the coolest whiskey bar meets fine dining--and it nails both sides perfectly. I travel to Corpus for work and customer visits, but this is one of those rare spots where I'd come back just for the restaurant. The whiskey selection is outstanding--deep, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who actually know and love whiskey. Whether you're a bourbon guy, a Scotch drinker, or just want to explore something new, the staff knows their stuff and makes great recommendations without any pretension. The food is where it really separates itself. This isn't bar food pretending to be upscale--this is legit, well-executed, chef-driven cuisine that easily competes with big-city dining. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. It's the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy the experience, and immediately start planning what you're ordering next time. Atmosphere-wise, it's spot on: moody, polished, and cool without trying too hard. Perfect for entertaining customers, a business dinner, or just treating yourself after a long day. Corpus Christi is lucky to have this place. Nueces Whiskey Library sets the bar high--and then pours you something great while doing it.

We arrived after having had dinner and despite it being busy (it was a Friday night), we were seated quickly. Its got an old-timey vibe which is enhanced by the decor they use and the fact they were playing a black and white film on the projector. The bar area itself is gorgeous and displays what looks like hundreds of bottles of whiskey. We tried their sazarac and the Anastasia Grey. While I love anything earl grey, I wasnt the biggest fan of the charcoal element but thats a personal preference. It was rather busy so it took some time to get a hold of our server but understandable considering he also had other tables to focus on!

Lovely venue

Flavor was great but it was really tough. I understand it's day old croissants I just don't remember them being that tough. My husband ordered a full breakfast and it came out with 2 items missing. I asked to see the menu. It didn't come. The server brought out 1 additional item. I said it was still missing something and asked to see the menu again. Was told everything was there and my husband said it was fine so I let it go. He enjoyed the breakfast but the baguette piece of bread was a joke. One small slice. So he ate the croissant with his eggs. He didn't even use the butter or jam since there wasn't any bread for it. Then the bill came and we were charged for the drink that was supposed to come with it. We told the server. She said that the drink wasn't included. My husband said it was and asked her to see the menu again. No menu. She did go check and it was taken off. Once we got home I looked up the menu and yes the prosciutto I kept asking for was included and never given to him. Really disappointing. For the price this experience was a joke.

The wife Googled an ice cream shop and La Fresa popped up. So we hopped in the car and drove over. We arrived right before closing time with all of my daughter's soccer team. The outside looked kind of rough, and the surrounding neighborhood looked a little sketch. We did not let that stop us from walking in. Don't let that deter you. We walked in, and the line was to the door. Definitely a good sign. Looking around the decor was dated, but festive. A menu hung on the wall with many different tasty treats. It was exactly what I expected of a mom and pop shop. Tables were limited, so I was hoping to have a seat. We stepped up to the counter and perused the menu. My kiddos ordered a scoop of their desired flavor, while the wife and I ordered a banana split to share. It had been quite a minute since I have had a good banana split. We ordered it with the traditional flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Also got the nuts, whipped cream, cherry, the works. We paid our fee, snagged a table, and got to work on it. The line continued to grow, so we were lucky to snag a spot. It was absolutely delicious. The vanilla was not your traditional vanilla, but was a Mexican vanilla. I'm generally not a fan of it due to the cinnamon like taste, but I was digging it. It all was very delicious, and very creamy. We loved everything about it. The kiddos loved theirs as well. Very delicious. While we were eating our ice cream one of the vagrants from outside walked in. This fella was bold and started begging everyone in line all the way up to the cash register. Very bold on his part. We were sort of surprised the establishment did not run him out of there. Hopefully next time they do. Nonetheless, this did not take anything away from this place. Definitely worth the trip. The desserts were delicious, and the time with my family was memorable. It put a cherry on top of a ready great trip to Corpus Christi. Highly recommend this place. We will be back the next time we come to Corpus. Enjoy!

A Magical Brew at Coffee Mugg! Stepping into Coffee Mugg in Corpus Christi is like walking through the brick wall at Platform 9 3/4; it's a delightful immersion into the magical world of Harry Potter! As an ardent fan of the series, my heart was filled with joy as I discovered that the beverages were listed under the names of iconic characters. It felt like an enchanting spell had been cast, turning an ordinary coffee run into an extraordinary adventure. My husband and I, proud members of House Slytherin, found our little nook in this haven. The warm, inviting atmosphere quickly made it our favorite spot during our two-week vacation. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home, as if we were enjoying a cup of coffee in the Slytherin common room. And oh, the Butterbeer! It's a must-try for any Potterhead. As someone who's meticulous about details and comparisons, I was pleasantly surprised by how closely it matched up to the Butterbeer at Universal Studios. I was torn between which one was better, a testament to the high quality of Coffee Mugg's version! In conclusion, Coffee Mugg offers a unique and delightful experience, especially for Harry Potter fans. It is more than just a coffee shop; it's a magical hub that transports you to Hogwarts, one cup at a time. Whether you're a local, a tourist, or a wizard on a break from your magical duties, this place is a must-visit. So grab your wands, hop on your broomsticks, and come check out this magical coffee haven. Trust me; you won't regret it! read more

I recently visited The Coffee Mugg and was looking forward to experiencing the Harry Potter atmosphere. The decor definitely lived up to expectations with wands and portraits of famous characters adorning the walls. It really brought a smile to my face remembering all those characters and events from the books. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow and the coffee was just mediocre. We did try some of their butter beer style drinks which were incredibly sweet, almost too sweet! Overall, it's a good spot for any Harry Potter fan but don't expect much in terms of coffee. read more
