What a beautiful surprise! Decided to drive around Mt. Hood from Sandy, OR. No big plans, just a wintry drive, some coffee, and some food. Little did I know that this gem of a place would be where I'd find myself. I was surprised by the weather, surprised by the drive, surprised by the toll bridge, surprised by the parking, surprised by the quality of the coffee, food, and pastry, surprised by the woman whose truck I jump started, surprised by the words of encouragement scribbled all over the restroom walls, surprised by the beauty of it all. Surprised that I found those fleeing feelings of gratitude again. Thank you, Lord, for these beautiful surprises. read more

Mugs Coffee - Must be Christmas time! - Cafes Near Me - Bingen, Washington

Cute coffee shop with plenty of options. Large enough space inside or outside. Great vibes, good coffee

If you like breakfast burritos, you need to stop at Mugs, theirs are absolutely fantastic! Filled with veggies and protein of your choice, then seared on a grill so it's toasted on both sides it takes a standard burrito to the next level. My go-to is spicy sausage with Mama Lila's peppers, onions and tomatoes plus the standard eggs & cheese. It is soooo good! Just writing about it is making me want one! This quaint, little coffee shop on West Steuben, the main street in Bingen a small town east of White Salmon, is filled with so much goodness. In addition to all the standard coffee drinks and the aforementioned awesome breakfast burrito, they have bagels and bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, breakfast handpies, and several muffins, scones and pastries. For a small, neighborhood shop they offer a lot of goodness! When I'm out exploring the WA side of the Columbia Gorge or going for a walk at Catherine Creek Trails, I often stop here afterwords and recommend you do the same! read more

Bingen has a cute little coffee shop called Mugs. I would have liked to have tried one of their spring specials, but even though there was just one customer in front of me, the wait was too long. In all fairness, there was only one barista and the customer did seem to have a lot of questions/comments. I like that Mugs has interesting specialty drinks, a nice space, and a unique feature, a play room. The play room could be a great draw for parents wanting to take a break, if only it weren't for the $10 minimum, and all the rules, which includes the parents providing direct supervision, yet not allowing any food or drink in the space. Needless to say, nobody was using the place space. There is a cute little story on the wall about The Little Plane That Couldn't, but the writing is so tiny and the pictures are placed so high up that you can't read them from the floor. I'm not sure if the business owner knows the author of the story, or why that story is so significant, but if they want it to be shared with others, they need to place the pictures lower and have captions bigger than the thickness of a pencil line. If I were the business owner, I would rethink the $10 minimum and some of the rules. If the minimum was lowered to $5 per family and the parents were expected to provide line-of-sight supervision, they could sit in the other room and visit with friends while getting a much needed break, while still keeping an eye from their children happily playing in the room nearby. This would be a great way to promote one of the unique features of Mugs coffee shop versus all others, as well as a great way to increase their customer base. read more

The vibe at this shop is always positive and the coffee is so good!!! They have baked goods every morning that are amazing.

My friend and I stopped by on the way to a hike. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. They had such a great range of tasty treats and coffee options. My friend really enjoyed her scone and practically inhaled it. I liked my coffee which was perfect in flavor. Definitely a great place to go for coffee and treats when you're in the area. read more

Didn't get to try the food ( already eaten) but it looked and smelled good. I was tempted to get a chocolate pecan bar, but..... I got a latte just when they were closing. still fresh and tasted great. Nice, clean eatery with seating outside. Very inviting. read more

Great food! Service was good. Helpful how you can text your order to them. Highly recommend.

We planned on trying different coffee places while we were in the area on vacation, but the coffee here was good. The staff was pleasant, and they have unique flavored pastries. Why go anywhere else? read more

Mugs Coffee - two cups of coffee on a table - Cafes Near Me - Bingen, Washington

Very good coffee and great place to relax. They leave the front garage-style doors open so you get a nice breeze inside. Definitely worthy of another visit when you want some tasty lattes. read more

So good! The vibe in here is great and everyone is so helpful and kind! Do yourself a favor and get one of the berry shortbread bars

$4.54 for an unremarkable, kind of flat, 12 ounce double Americano ... ouch! That's more than two dollars a shot. Atmosphere was nice but I didn't get eye contact until I was up at the register. Onto the next. read more

Cute little coffee shop. Staff is friendly. Coffee is great. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. The avocado toast was mediocre. Was expecting a bit more flavor and toppings for $10 toast. I'll be back for the coffee though. read more

Great food and coffee. The new owners are local and have their family working here. Excellent service and cool ambiance. Highly recommended.

The bacon breakfast sandwich was amazing - loved the garlic aioli. Got some bagel sandwiches for later in the day and they were quite tasty. The ladies working the counter were so friendly. I just wish they were open on Sundays because I'm craving their breakfast sandwich right now. We'll be back during our next visit to the area. read more

I do biweekly trips to Bingin and usually stop here for a bite to eat and some coffee. First time was great! Then each time after that the food quality/prep became very mediocre for the price... If you are a vegetarian be sure to ask if what you order has meat because the menu does not specify. The drinks are a hit or miss... sometimes way to sweet. I might still come here but i'll probably stick to their muffins and cakes! Also... the employee helped customers while making our sandwich and didn't wear gloves/sanitize after handling their payment, then continued to handle the food with her bare hands. read more

Thanks for the 5 star service youade me feel very welcome and your positive attitude reflected the entire vibe of mugs. I was stuck for 12 hours waiting for Amtrak walked no more than 2 blocks found a place to relax great coffee friendly staff free Wi-Fi (I had no internet and my devices we're all low battery)and outlets at every seat I was going to beg to charge my phone and didn't even have to go through the embarrassment of asking I highly recommend this place also read the writing on the walls in the bathroom read more

We got breakfast here and it was delicious. Still mourning the loss of the Starbucks pistachio latte (I know, hot take), I ordered the pistachio rose latte and wow! I love rose flavored drinks and this one did not disappoint. Good vibes were in the air and I decided to order another, this time the Raspberry white chocolate and once again was not let down. We got the avocado toast and basil bagel, both were delicious and the perfect breakfast. They ran out of tomatoes and had to substitute red bell peppers, but it actually worked really well! All in all, a great place with great vibes. read more

Wonderful breakfast burrito with Mama Lil's peppers, hash browns, spinach, onion. Friendly service, roomy seating area with tables 6' apart during "The Situation". read more

Mugs Coffee - Mugs Coffee, Bingen WA - Cafes Near Me - Bingen, Washington

Great espresso. Awesome friendly people. Such a sweet spot, fresh flowers, art work and Tour De France on the LCD. Bingen is a great town to escape the Hood River madness : ) Stop in and have a cup read more

I went there after I spotted it during my walk. The Cafe looks very cozy and inviting. The space is decent and clean. The staff are nice and friendly. I ordered mocha and breakfast empanada. The mocha is subpar, I can taste burnt coffee in it and the empanada is really dry. I am kind of disappointed because I was expecting better from other reviews. I probably will try it again different time for different menu. read more

Was in town for the weekend visiting a friend and came across this delightful shop. I must say, I was blown away! Walking in, Mugs has a warm, comfortable atmosphere that, coupled with its locally roasted coffee and superb staff, is unparalleled. Along with my normal latte, I decided to splurge and get the Turkey Brie Pear Panini, which was absolutely divine. What I thought was going to likely be a quick, forgettable stop ended up turning into a wonderful morning that I look forward to replicating the next time I am in town. I am not always in Bingen, but when I am... I drink Mugs. read more

The coffee is awesome but the owner and staff are wonderful! It's a welcoming place for breakfast and lunch and a great conversation! I highly recommend it! read more

Outstanding if close you need to stop and enjoy their really unique signature breakfast. These ladies made fresh a cross between a croissant & empanada filled with vegetables (normally what real food eats) and a mild sausage. The folded crust was so delicious and mixed flavors out of this world. Best breakfast dish I have ever eaten. read more

Excellent espresso, delicious hand pies stuffed with eggs, meat & cheese or vegetarian. Yummy baked goods and homemade quiche. Fresh soup, salad & sandwiches for lunch. Lovely, cozy atmosphere. Kid friendly and the service is excellent. read more

I go here all the time, study, hang with friend, whatever, it's always a good time and always a nice environment. 10 outta 10 recommend.

I have only been here once but had great service and the chai tea I ordered was delish! They topped it off with cinnamon and a cute swirl design! read more

Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff, amazing drinks, good food, and to top it off, they have a wonderful kids toy section!

Very nice Cafe, great coffee, decor and food. More a communal vibe- a place to be out and about. Worth the drive over from Hood River.

This little coffee shop was recommended to Is from my cousin. It is a very clean and nice place. The service was tops!!! I ordered the Italian panini and my dad order the turkey panini. They were so good words can hardly describe it. We will definitely stop here again and I hope you do too! read more

Good food and very good coffee. Only three stars, being they base their touch screen suggested tip amounts on the total that includes sales tax, which you're not supposed to do. Tips should be based on pre-taxed amount only. Plus Bingen sales tax is only 7.5%, they charge 8% according to my sales receipt. They need to fix these errors in their touch screen purchase software. read more

What a cute coffee shop. Several selections on the breakfast and lunch menu and a nice porch for sitting outside. Great place to stop on the drive home. read more

The perfect latte can be found here. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, a nice classy place to meet friends. Wish they would be open late and offer dessert and wine! I had their veggie turnover and it was very tasty and I would come back again to eat here. read more

The most amazing cup of flavored awesomeness my money can buy! The staff is extremely friendly and wonderful. I was greeted by the most heavenly barista when I walked in, with eyes brighter than the burning sun in the sky. I ordered my standard beverage and could tell that the special ingredient used at Mugs to keep people coming back is love. Highly recommended, if you are having a bad day, let Mugs brighten it for you! read more

Phenomenal place! Really fantastic food, coffee, and environment. I love the pulled chicken sandwich. Everyone was really friendly.
