Stopped by to spend some time before my flight. Coffee came out quickly, and the place was nice and relaxing. Wasn't crowded so that helped. Great place to sit down and study or spend time. read more

Really fun coffee shop with a great rotating specialty latte menu. There were plenty of drink options and everything we tried was delicious. The space itself is great for hanging out. They have lots of different seating options along with games and books, so it feels like somewhere you can actually stay awhile rather than grab your coffee and leave. My only complaint was the service. It felt a little low-energy and wasn't overly friendly, so the experience could have been better on that front. Still, the coffee and atmosphere make it a nice place to relax, work, or catch up with someone. read more

I always get a cortado every new place I go. It gives me a chance to see how well they make a shot of espresso.... They under extracted the shot a little. It was on the bitter side, but not horrible. I believe they are serving a Brazil bean and it should have a pronounced nutty/chocolate flavor at this level of roast. If the clicked those grinders down 2 notches it would probably be a much better cup. It's an industrial sort of setting, the staff was neither friendly nor rude. Just very average. The potential is there for it to be a great coffee spot! read more

Had a great experience with the patient staff and a lovely honey coffee. I liked the various options for seating as well. It was comfortable and well suited to enjoying a drink and catching up with friends. When I'm back in the area I would definitely stop by again. read more

been a minute since I've been here, a lot more rustic than I remember. NOMd: - breakfast sandwich w. sausage. SOLIDDDD. ooey gooey yummy gouda cheese, classic sausage flavor and im not sure what bread this is but toasted to perfection and didn't cut up the roof of my mouth (like most sandwiches do). YUMd: - caramel latte w. coconut milk. decent latte. now that I've become a regular coffee drinker, I've come to realize I like a lighter and less decadent coffee bean, not so dark and bitter, so I was pleased with the flavor of theirs. I've been switching from my regular oat milk to coconut milk recently and think I like oat better, so I'll have to come back to try it with oat. coconut milk can sometimes make the drink taste watered down to me. service, etc.: the baristas were friendly and sweet. full house on a Sunday afternoon and everyone was grinding out, which was perfect because sometimes I get overstimulated working in loud cafe's. grind cafe's are my fav. minus a star for seat comfort and finicky outlets but that's literally the only "issue" read more

I have gone to Mugshots now twice and both times I have been impressed by the friendliness of the staff! They go above and beyond to ensure your order is correct and offer to make adjustments. Also you can get a whole breakfast sandwich and a large coffee for only $8! In this economy that's enough to make anyone happy. I will be honest, the inside of this cafe isn't top tier aesthetic, however it is a productive good place to get work done. read more

Mugshots Coffee Company - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

The service here is very spotty. It seems like this place is run by teenagers who would rather be doing anything else besides taking your order. A basic order often takes close to 20 minutes. The food is underwhelming. Ordered a crepe and the fruit inside was still frozen. Pastries are fine but I don't usually order them a second time. The drinks are good other than the iced drinks being somewhat warm when they are served. I always go home and add more ice. I keep returning to this place because it's the only local coffee shop in the area, but I go knowing it will be underwhelming. read more

We were in town for work and stopped by for an afternoon pick me up. When we ordered we had to wait a little bit, think the baristas were wrapping a few things up, but they did at least acknowledge us. We ordered our coffee after explaining how we wanted more coffee with a hint of flavor and an iced americano. The guy who made our coffee nailed it. Truth be told, I'm a barista profiler and this guy knew his stuff! We walked out and had a great coffee to get us through the afternoon! read more

Have been here a few times and it never disappoints. It's a spacious coffee shop. Great place to do some work, study, or meet with friends and family. Staff are kind and service is quick! There is a wide variety of drinks available and they also have seasonal ones. They also have some food options available including waffles, salads, and sandwiches. I got a blueberry mint mojito and the maple bacon sandwich with a side salad and enjoyed it! There is a parking lot but space is limited. read more

I really loved the space here! Lots of tables and windows - definitely a great place to read, do some work, or catch up with a friend. Personally I thought my latte was just ok. Definitely wasn't my favorite latte and I probably wouldn't come back just for the coffee but enjoyed my time here anyway! read more

Not open when the website send it was. Waited 20 minutes and no one showed up, well people wanting coffee did but no workers.

Came in during my lunch break to get an iced matcha latte and it was great! The barista said they had gotten a new matcha kit and the matcha tasted super smooth which was great. We walked over but they have plenty of free parking out front, and our drinks were made quickly. Only complaint is that they charge for light ice and mine came with a lot of ice still which made my drink watered down later at work. Seems like a good spot to study as well and it's pretty quiet and calm inside. read more

I tried the maple waffle melt and the blackberry mojito tea. Both were good, I would go back. Service is kind of busy in the morning so go a little earlier if you're grabbing before work. read more

I'm always looking for new coffee shops to check out. This coffee shop is located in a strip mall behind Cub. The parking lot was bit busy but they do have a lot of parking available around. The coffee shop was also busy inside, lol. They have a pretty decent size menu/lots of options and some food items. The waffles seemed very fancy and tempting but we did not get food this time. We ended up getting 3 blended drinks; mocha, miel & Birthday drink (April special). I've never had a miel but it was good & sweet, I enjoyed it. The birthday drink was good as well! Because it was a bit busy it was loud. They had a lot of seating and space which was nice. Overall I would definitely go back. read more

Mugshots is a very spacious coffee shop for studying if you are looking for a place to unwind. The ambiance is quite nice. I will say that they are a little heavy on the milk/sugar here in your drinks, but otherwise the space is quite nice. Maybe ask specially for less milk if you prefer a stronger drink :) read more

This is such a lovely coffee shop. As soon as you walk in you'll immediately notice how spacious this spot is. Lots of seating and decent accessibility to outlets. I will this spot definitely gets busy. After visiting a couple of times, at different times of day, almost all of the spots were taken but I still managed to find a spot. As for parking, it was relatively easy, they do have a lot in the front. They offer a variety of pastries, sandwiches and beverages. They offer the classic coffee drinks and a few speciality drinks. I wasn't a big fan of the chai tea latte as it was a little bland but I enjoyed the iced gingerbread latte (limited time beverage). The gingerbread wasn't too overpowering and not too sweet. The prices here are very reasonable! Make sure to sign up for the loyalty program as you get a free 16oz drink for your bday :). Overall, this is a great coffee shop. read more

Mugshots is my go to cafe in West Bloomington. I love all the drinks, especially their seasonal specials. The Nordic waffles are also so tasty! It's a good spot to get some work done or catch up with friends. There is plenty of seating, a fireplace, games, and big tables. Plenty of parking too since the cafe is next to Cub Foods! read more

Unprofessional! We walked in on a Sunday around noon, no one in line. Two of the baristas spent several minutes flirting, saw us at the counter and continued to flirt. Finally the male barista took our order one of the items was a pastry. The barista pulled the pastry with his bare hands and served it to us. Further the to go coffee took forever because the two continued to flirt instead of actually working. A third barista was the only one that actually made the coffee. Coffee order was wrong. First and last time at this place. Will not be going back! read more

The gal behind the counter was delightful. It was 90 and felt like 100 outside. I had to get an iced coffee. My lovely date order a Chai. Yes... Hot. Because when in Minnesota do what the folks in India do in a hot day. To her credit... Not like Mango Lasi was an option. What we got was good. The environment has a school meets office space vibe. read more

Mugshots Coffee Company - Iced coffee and a Chai. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

My sister and I came here to get some work done, and we were excited since we had grown up driving by this place. Upon walking in, we were not welcomed at all. We placed our order eventually, and the same coffee I ordered was called at the counter, so I went up to grab it. The employee working unkindly stated that I had accidentally grabbed the wrong drink by saying with an attitude, "That's not even the size you ordered." This was a simple mistake on my end, and I was met with unkind service, especially for this being my first time in the establishment. Coffee was good, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Stopped by as I was in the area and am a sucker for a good coffee shop! This place was great and had so much room for finding a spot to sit. Grabbed both a caramel almond latte and an apple pastry. I think I should have tried a breakfast sandwich instead, but that's my bad on realizing just how sweet the apple pastry was. The latte was spot on with what I was hoping for! A big plus is that it had homemade syrups included, which makes such a difference in great coffee shops to stand out as memorable. Great service and great prices. Can't wait to be back again when I'm in the area next! read more

Found another cafe gem! The cold brew coffee is smooth and isn't bitter as some other larger names I won't mention. I typically drink my cold brew black, but this time decided to add a shot of caramel syrup. It was too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The pastries we tried are top notch. The glazed croissant was light and chewy. The apple flip had more filling than expected. Paired well with our cold brews. The area itself is pretty large. There is additional seating in an adjacent room near the two individual restrooms. The sunlight was shining on a cold winter morning and filled the cafe - such a pleasant experience. It appears that their windows open in the summertime (like a giant garage door). We will definitely be back to enjoy the atmosphere later this year when it warms up. read more

Perfect latte. Super happy!!! Lots of seating which isn't always easy to find at a coffee shop. The carrot cake was also delicious!!: Good vibe and a place that roasts its own coffee usually means quality across the board. #NailedIt read more

If you've read any of my other reviews, you'll know that I prefer local non-corporate coffee shops that have local ownership and a personal vibe. Mugshots is one of those places. Great coffee, friendly service, some simple but delicious menu offerings and a lot of disparate seating options. Parking isn't great but you'll find a spot. I've been back many times and will keep coming. read more

Needed to waste an hour between jobs and was looking for a little caffeine, and Mugshots came up on my search. A cute little coffee shop tucked in at the end of a strip mall with very pleasant staff and lots of beverage and food options. I ended up getting a London Fog, which was just what I needed. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely make a stop! read more

I have been dating my boyfriend for 7 1/2 months, on his Ideal Woman list was "must like coffee," we do our work at coffee shops, we meet our real estate clients at coffee shops: needless to say we drink a lot of coffee; but never have they ever heard him say "this is good coffee" until Mugshots. We are not sure what makes a coffee there so special, he thinks it must be stronger espresso beans. We're not really knowledgeable about coffee, we just know when we taste it. I like decaf and I like sugar-free syrups and they had four sugar-free syrups for me to choose from, I went for raspberry which was not my favorite, but was not a chemical toasting nightmare. Our barista was super sweet, our coffee came out fast, I love that this place has space for community events, they have a box for donating to the local food shelf, they have their own coffee roaster, there were a great mix of people sitting on tables and chairs by fireplaces. I had to put on my sound canceling earphone for a load lady but otherwise I don't even remember there being music. I thought the air conditioning was a tish too cold, But otherwise well done mug shots, we'll be back! read more

Front room is lovely, although it lacks adequate seating, made worse by the staff commandeering the back side of the counter with their backpacks & personal water bottles, prohibiting patrons from accessing those seats. - the big room is LOUD- please grab some more acoustic tiles and hang from ceiling to dampen the noise; it's really bad (enough to make you leave) and I think about it before coming again. It is also as if the team might be purposely attempt to distinguish themselves from the chain shops by crafting their beverages s l o w l y & so just be aware. Don't get angry or anxious, they are simply in no rush. Oh, and chai tea is the bag form. I have had their hand crafted kombucha and that's a cool product! - lay some low pile carpet squares - get MORE tables - slip plastic foot covers on the metal chairs- Amazon next day delivery read more

I have a new favorite coffee shop!!! Remember this face, cus you see it often at Mugshots. The parking lot is almost non existent LOL but it's a little mini strip mall and the coffee shop is at the end, but you better believe that every car parked out there is for Mugshots (except the two with the signs for the hair place, nobody was parked there!). Walked in, instantly greeted. I don't know who greeted me. I heard them say "Good morning and Welcome, but I couldn't see them! Those are some skills and excellent customer service!!! read more

I always love to support local coffee shops over chains. So I tried this one that's not too far from my house. But I was so bummed! I just got a vanilla iced late w/ oat. It was so watered down :( maybe just the way they make their iced drinks? I really loved the vanilla syrup they used tho! Would be worth to try a hot drink instead. But bummed when the drink is $9 for 16 oz & it's not the best:( read more

Mugshots holds a very special place in my heart as it was the coffee shop my, now husband, took me to right before proposing to me later that day. I love going back and reminiscing. They have an amazing array of options for coffee & some great sandwiches. I had the turkey, pesto, & Swiss Nordic waffle on a separate occasion and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is quiet and calming but also a great place to chat with friends and catch up. I will be coming back to Mugshots as often as I can! read more

I ordered a cold brew with cream and homemade cinnamon syrup and a glazed croissant. Both were tasty! read more

I went to Mugshots Coffee Company with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. It is tucked away in a strip mall and I would not have noticed it had my friend not pointed it out to me. Upon entering Mugshots we were greeted with an industrial coffee shop, surrounded by tile floors, seating ranging from comfy couches to metal chairs, and a fireplace. We waited a few minutes to order at the counter where we both got coffee, mine was a brown sugar latte & hers was a honey lavender latte, and I also ordered a half sandwich - apple, cheddar, and turkey with a side salad. They warned us ahead of time that the food would take some time, but this was fine with us. There is a lot of seating room in this coffee shop which is great! We chose to sit in their second room at a table by the fireplace. We both received our coffees within 8 minutes. The coffees were really nice & I later learnt they make their own syrups! It did take some time for me to receive my food but it was excellent. My sandwich was tasty and the side salad was very fresh. What I really loved about Mugshots was the price! I got my latte for $4... in this economy that is AMAZING. Next time I am in this area of MN I will be coming back to Mugshots for my cup of joe. read more

They have one cup (at least that is what the counter person said to us) -- yes you read that correctly. Be prepared to receive your warm beverage in a paper cup. Staff doesn't always seem to listen to you when you order -- be prepared to reorder, and possibly reorder again... They don't have a clue as to how to make a real cappuccino. It's more like a latte with more foam. -- they even make it look pretty -- which you can't do if it's a real cappuccino -- the froth is okay shall we say. The coffee is a bit bitter -- but that might also be because they don't know how to make a cappuccino and they mess up the timing of adding hot milk to the espresso. I suggest sticking to tea. Pastries are uneventful... okay, but not fabulous... Paper napkins / sugar etc is next to the door -- it's almost like they don't want you to stay. Square pay (I'm quite skeptical after being linked to a friends email who I don't share any accounts with -- they received my receipt when i made a purchase) -- Mugshots also accepts cash. The side room in the summer is SUPER cold -- like that's where all the ac goes. Bring a sweater/jacket or the like of. -- winter too when I think about it. Basically mugshots is an okay place to meet and chat with a friend -- avoid others as you might not be able to shake yourself free of them. They have a prayer box if thats your thing. People sometimes bring their kids which is great! -- but said people don't always keep an eye on their kids (especially in the side room) and just let them wander / be rude etc. So this isn't a Mugshot issue -- just to people with kids a request to watch and teach manners to your kids. read more
