Mugs Coffee Lounge

I think there are good things about Mugs, and then a few less-than-great things.

First, I'm a bit confused about their "Daily Happy Hour from 3-6." I came at 4:30 and asked for a grilled cheese sandwich (listed on the Happy Hour menu) and I was told that the kitchen is never open past 3. I pointed out the "Happy Hour" bit of the menu and the poor, apologetic cashier seemed just as confused as I was. This isn't the first, or even the second, time that I've been told that the food I wanted to order was unavailable for one reason or another :-(

I've been looking at some of the other more recent reviews, and I agree with what some people have been saying about the sub-par customer service. I'm not saying that absolutely everyone here is a bad worker, but I'm sure there are plenty of friendly and hard-working college students who would love to work at Mugs. How do they end up with all of these workers who have trouble even cracking a smile?

Otherwise, Mugs is one of the more comfortable coffee lounges to spend time in. They have plenty of outlets spread around and their drinks are always good. The art from local artists hanging on the walls is very pretty and it's awesome that they're supporting local artists. There are several nice pieces that are available to buy.

There are also some pretty tasty looking things to eat in their front cooler area, but it never seems like they have the same food day after day, so you can't really count on being able to order something one day that you just ordered a week ago. That said, there seems to be a pretty good selection on the weekends.

I'd say give Mugs a shot and judge it for yourself! The owners have created a very comfortable and aesthetically appealing coffee shop and they clearly know what they're doing when it comes to coffee. I consider Mugs to definitely be one of the better places in FoCo to go to study, hang out with friends, or just grab a drink. Might want to grab lunch beforehand, though :-)

Best breakfast burrito in Fort Collins by a country mile! Mugs is our go to when our kiddos wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Great coffee and great people-- what else could you ask for!?

Our go-to coffee stop anytime we’re in town. The expansion has dramatically increased the sitting space if you’d like to stay awhile; the coffee, food and baked goods are fantastic. Our only regret is that we don’t live closer!

Awesome smoothies! Not big on caffeine so no coffee for me. Really nice environment to work (I took my laptop). Get a smoothie and add the almond butter!
