    Forever one of my favorite coffee shops here in Fresno! The food is amazing, the drinks are always good, and the service is quick and super kind and friendly! It's a beautiful shop with lots of places to sit!

    Great place for a coffee and they also have breakfast and lunch items on their menu. Jordan is always welcoming as well as all the other staff. I love the ambiance and the fact you have a real mug.

    Monday afterschool we stopped in for a quick drink and snack before heading to Woodward Park Library (across the street) for homework time. On this day we give a HUGE thank you to The Mug! Three kiddos ordered their drinks and a cinnamon cake. After ordering we head over to the comphy couch and chairs to relax and chat while our drinks are being made. Soon they arrive and then the 4 year old starts crying because she doesn't want the drink she ordered, she wants one like the big kids have. Ayyyyy.... Lola gives in and gives money to the 8 year old. She takes the sniffling 4 year old up to the counter, orders a new drink and comes back to the couch with the money. "He wouldn't let me pay for it." Oh goodness. When the very nice gentleman brought the drink to the now, very happy 4 year old, I once again tried to pay him. He refused. That was so nice. Thank you~You saved Lola from a headache.

    Breakfast Breakfast Bacon Brioche Sandwich
    Christina C.

    I've been back several times and the breakfast brioche sandwich is fantastic every time. My favorite coffee is the fog breaker, half sweet...I don't typically like sweet coffee. Their drip coffee is also good, which is my typical go to.

    Tiny breakfast sandwich
    Melissa Z.

    The sandwiches were cold and way overpriced. We thought we would give this place a try again but it's way too expensive for what you get. A tiny croissant with one piece of bacon for $12. We waited about 20 minutes (with no crowd) and the sandwich was cold. Definitely not for someone who wants a nice breakfast sandwich.

    Latte

    Perfect little coffee shop! They have a vast menu of hot or cold beverage options. The staff is always friendly and the establishment itself is clean and tidy. I particularly enjoy the seating arrangements, as there's plenty of chairs and a couple of comfy couches.

    I'm bringing this review down further due to the spam texts that The Mug community sends out. After having reported the texts as Junk to Apple, reported their SMS number as spam to our phone carrier, and put them on the National Do Not Contact List, we find that they are either using Automated Campaigns or selling our information. Could be because I reported their espresso as being a very low quality product and their lattes as barely passable. They have taken my frustration with them to another level!

    I've said it before I'm going to say it again--- their lunch menu is *chefs kiss* ! The Philly cheesesteak bread is crispy but the inside is so cheesy and packed with flavor. I also tried the watermelon mint refresher and it's my new favorite drink-- so refreshing! I haven't been back in a minute but this visit has single handedly convinced me to come more often.

    Avocado Toast
    Christina F.

    We were greeted by and ordered with Shawnti. Her and all the staff we came in contact with were very friendly and helpful. Our party of 5 ordered two pancake breakfasts, avocado toast, two country potato breakfasts, two cappuccinos, a Punch in the Face, bottled orange juice, and bottled apple juice. We all enjoyed the delicious food & drinks, the clean & spacious dining area, and the courteous service. We will be back.

    Avocado Toast

    Swung by for few hours before lunch near the area with friends. I got there in the morning so I to see were plenty of seats available. Avocado toast wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but it was good! Very light breakfast. Staff will bring you the order and are very attentive to you. The shop is also in a plaza, so you will find ample parking spots. If anyone needs a place to study or wait around then this place is it!

    This is my second time here the first time we just grabbed coffee to go, this time I stayed to eat and drink. The place has a lot of seating for parties of 2 or more. They also have a countertop bar area that seats 4. They have 2 restrooms as well right behind it. The place isn't overstimulated with decor which is great, they do have a couch with a table and chairs so you can hang out with friends. The menu is easy to read, it is a limited food menu, it's not your typical breakfast spot. And the customer service is fantastic too. The drink prices are great! Start from $3-$7 dollars depending on what you're ordering. They do have specialty coffee items, and if you just want simple they have brew. I love how you can add any flavors to your drinks if you don't want it simple. They also have pastries you can buy as well, cheesecake, cinnamon rolls, and cakes. Just to let you know this isn't a grab n go type of place, you do have to wait for them to make your drinks so it maybe takes 2-5 minutes. I really love this place due to how delicious their coffee drinks are. The one I ordered reminds me of a spot I went to in San Diego, I just wish they had more than one location. I live in sunnyside area and this place is really far away. So if and when I'm on that side of town I will continue to drop in and get my favorite drink.

    Friendly staff and owner - they make you feel welcome right away. I also appreciate that you can order your drink in a mug if you're staying in, and that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They even have a rewards program (around every 10 purchases), which is a nice touch. It's also worth noting they only allow service animals, which keeps the café calm and tidy. Unfortunately, I haven't had the best experience with the coffee itself. The cappuccino was a sea of foam (see photo - that's before I even took a sip), and the mug wasn't very clean, with some spills and stains. Store hours are also limited, closing early. Couple days ago, on a Friday, we came during posted hours but doors were locked. Prices are also a bit higher compared to other nearby spots (almost $12 for a cap. and latte). Other places are below $10 for the same (& higher quality). Hoping the quality improves because the space and people are great.

    Do they offer coconut and oat milk?

    Not sure. But, the owner is so incredibly nice I bet if you ask they would include it.

But only for hang outs though (for the vibes), but this won't be the first boba place on my list to go with friends or by myself.
