My chai cup was flavorful and satisfying, and the café's charm--rooted in community, local sourcing, and solid hospitality. I loved the atmosphere and friendly service. Mugs offered a warm, enjoyable experience.

Unblended smoothie

Half of my smoothie was unblended! Not even joking there were 4 big chunks that were not blended so I had to use a spoon so I could drink around it. It tasted good but I couldn't even drink 1/3 of it. The patio is nice as well as the interior and the cashier was super friendly. Don't get a smoothie or instead ask them to actually blend it.

I love the energy of this shop. You instantly feel welcomed. They have a ton of different types of seating which I also appreciated. I will say the menu is slightly confusing. They have items listed as vegan though parts of them are not. So we ordered the vegan pretzel that comes with cheese and mustard. Because the item was labeled vegan we assumed all aspects were vegan however after ordering we were notified the cheese was real. I wish things were labeled vegan and vegetarian to help clarify this confusion. The matcha was incredible and I enjoyed every last sip! The vegan bagel sandwich I had was pretty filling and good as well.

Been here a few times now... most recent stop was a quick stop for road coffees and was truly impressed. The interior atmosphere has all kinds of nice appointments and great seating options. There was a steady flow of customers and the service was spot on... take 4-5 minutes to get the two coffees. Big White Whale is a hazelnuts, white chocolate, Irish cream latte..... WOW!!!!! Fantastic drink! London Fig with Almond Milk; my wife said it was tasty.... That's definitely a 5 stars compliment!!

so much fun and talked about a fundraiser

this is really an incredible place for everybody who loves coffee and I personally like your Vitae and it's really funny cause I really loved working in music and I met Ruby and we had so much fun

Mugs gets it right every time. Service, variety, quality. My go-to Old Town coffee shop. Grabbed a latte on my way to FoCo Pride festival & was treated to another great experience thanks to the Saturday morning staff. While I normally come for coffee, there's a terrific variety of food options as well. The chai spice bowl (June special) was a hit! Yum!

Beautiful local art for sale

Two visits in as many days. My lovely college kid suggested it (& he doesn't even drink coffee!). Situated on College Ave, it was still east to find parking. Yesterday there was no line around lunch time, this morning there was a line but it moved quickly and there were still plenty of tables both inside and out. This place has a nice coffee house vibe. There are pieces of art on the walls made by local artists available for purchase. Now on to the food! Yesterday it was lunch time, so my companion and I shared a Colorado Chicken Mac and Cheese. It came in a huge bowl and was so creamy with just the right amount of green chili to give it some heat. The chicken was well cooked and flavorful and balanced the richness of the cheesy goodness. We were able to finish it, but there's no way I could have done it alone. For dessert we split a lemon bar. It had a nice amount of chewiness to it, reminiscent of a lemon bar I had in Silverton (can't remember the place offhand but I know I yelped about it!) This morning I got a specialty latte (goldfinger with cinnamon and caramel) and a breakfast burrito. Both were delicious. Inside they also sell art work from local artists as well as some of their own shirts, mugs etc. They make a point of highlighting the various local businesses from which they source ingredients and services, which gives it a warm community feel. My only objection (a problem for me but not them) is that it was both busy and loud, so I would have a hard time if I were trying to work (like I said, an issue only for me). I would definitely be a regular if I lived in FoCo.

MUGS thermos are leak proof. Oh my! Stickers on site for last minute mementos.

I would love to stay on route back from morning but their hours begin when my evening shift ends. GREAT choice for all ages!

The service here is always pretty good. They'll explain menu items and give suggestions, but they're not overly helpful with suggesting add ons so you have to ask specific questions haha Overall, the coffee is fabulous and it's a nice spot to sit with friends. What more could you ask for in a coffee shop?

Woefully disappointing breakfast. Toasted bagel apparently means "burned to a crisp" at mugs.

This is our "go to" Fort Collins old town coffee. Opens at 6 AM, and often there for a great day's eye opener. Greet food too.

Came here because of the yelp reviews and this place did not disappoint!…read more I was in town for CSU's family and homecoming weekend. I knew it would be busy early this morning so I opted to come in the afternoon. At 1pm on Sunday of homecoming weekend was perfect timing . It was only a 20-minute wait. I sat outside and gorgeous with gorgeous weather and the great service began as soon as I sat down. I started on caramel latte. I was hoping for a cinnamon toll, but they were out. They were also out of hollandaise sauce. I ordered their Good morning burger and it was delicious! Whenever I'm in the area, I'll be sure to come by.

Our second time here yesterday, first since moving to Colorado 3.5 years ago. We stopped in around…read more1:00 on a Sunday....definitely less crowded than our first visit here more than four years earlier. We were seated quickly, and service was prompt and friendly. While interested in the tuna sandwich, I was really hungry, so I got an omelette instead. As it turns out, judging by the size of my wife's chicken salad sandwich and fries, the tuna likely would've been plenty for me, and I'll try it on a future visit. My omelette (with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and onions) was fine, but nothing unusual from an omelette you'd get elsewhere. Home fries and ciabatta toast were both really good too. Coffee was delicious. Speaking of the chicken salad sandwich, my wife enjoyed it on her first visit too and was equally impressed this time. Definitely a big sandwich. I'm sure she'll get it again.

The staff were welcoming and the vibe is very cool whether you sit inside the restaurant or the patio/garden area. I got a side order of the pumpkin bread French toast and an iced mushroom coffee latte. The pumpkin bread French toast was delicious, and the side was actually the perfect size for my breakfast since I like to have a relatively light meal for breakfast. Even though it was the side order, they still dressed it up nicely with whipped cream, caramelized bananas, pecans, so I feel like I got the same experience as the full order. The mushroom coffee is made with a functional mushroom/herbal blend and contains no actual coffee or caffeine. It had a unique taste that was vaguely coffeeish, and I really liked it. All around I had a very good breakfast experience here!

Tip Extortion Been…read moregoing there occasionally for 5 years. Service was hit and miss. Some staff friendly, some merely aloof, some seemingly hostile. Never could figure it out. Gave them the benefit of the doubt. I always support independent shops when possible. Friends don't let friends go to Starbucks... A few days ago it became clear. I ordered a bagel and requested it be toasted enough not to be raw inside. About half the time that's what I got. I paid and saw they wanted a tip upfront. I feel asking for a tip before earning it is unethical. So I selected no tip. I would gladly leave a dollar after. One of the staff, let's call him "Beta Boy", toasted my bagel and delivered it to me burnt. No overdone. Burnt. As in mostly black. I said it was burnt. He replied that I requested it "double toasted". I looked at him like he was speaking in Swahili. I explained that I merely wanted it toasted and not raw inside. He insisted that I ordered it that way. He did not take my order. I said she wrote it but I did not say it. He insisted that I, the customer, was somehow so stupid as to not know how to order a bagel. I said "would you eat this"? Amazingly, he said with a straight face "yes". I replied that he could eat it but I want what I ordered. At this point "Beta Boy" leaned over and told me I should be nice. Nice? Nice! I was flabbergasted. I was being scolded by kid a third my age. I was stunned. Was this a joke? Yes, but he was serious. It was an absolutely stunning display of passive-aggressive behavior. Delivered with a condescending smirk and self-righteousness. I replied that I am not nice and so what. He then insisted that I be nice. I said I am from the Midwest and we tend to be direct. It's not rude. It's the way we communicate. Honestly without hedging. This sailed right over his head unacknowledged, Then the truth. You didn't leave a tip he said. How did he know I didn't tip on the little checkout screen? I tried to explain my view on tipping that it needs to be earned. "Beta Boy" was adamant that they expect tips as they are not paid much and work "hard". I reiterated my view and called tipping up front unearned and possibly undeserved as like Socialism. "Beta Boy" did not like that and said that "people of my generation (Boomers are Bad!) don't get it." He further lectured me on how underpaid they were and that the "need" and thus "deserve" tips regardless of what service they offer. He then declared that a dollar tip was entirely insufficient. I replied that $1 on a $4 bagel was a 25% tip. He repeated that it was too little regardless. I said then how much is fair. He did not answer. My guess is that he knew as much about the mathematics of percentages as he knows about Swahili dialects. I offered that if they were to ask for tips after, the honorable way, they would earn more. People are motivated above all by fairness and would hedge on tips not knowing if they would be earned. "Beta Boy" gave me the obligatory hourly-wage employee response that "that's the way it is"... The self-declared creatives have the ingenuity of cows munching grass. Then a kid decided to be a hero and intervened saying "WE don't have a problem with the tipping". In a stunning display of sociotropic behavior, he elected himself to defend the shop and represent all other patrons. I ran out of patience and told him to STFU. At this point the heroine server, who decided I like burnt bagels, told me to leave. So I did leave. I regret every penny I spent there to support their shop. So now I know why even as I liked the layout of the place, and all their countless little books promoting a myriad of pretentious woke socialist utopia topics, I never felt comfortable there. The all-inclusive did not like me invading their "Safe Space". Instead of just telling me "hey, this is our space not yours Boomer Boy" they instead were a case study in passive aggressiveness. A coward's way to feel all smug and self-righteous. Since they present themselves as fans of "literature" here is a literary quote (Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse Five... said to the character Billy Pilgrim in a hospital upon his return from being a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany... "I can carve a better man out of a banana" So I see that they have high ratings from their intended audience and I am a mere interloper. My little One star rating will not be noticed. By the way, I am from Michigan and the state animal is the Wolverine. It is ferocious and righteous. No other animal messes with it. Your business does not deserve the name. I suggest you change it to Weasel Farm.
