I had to go into the office today, so I missed the official grand opening hoopla over at Mugs Cafe, the new coffee shop in Argenta that I gave you the heads up about a little while back.
After a meeting and some paperwork, I still had more stuff to do, and my weary body was non-cooperative. Needed caffeine.
My paperwork and my enormous, shockingly inexpensive, delicious latte.
So, off to Mugs Cafe I went.
The space is gorgeous, y’all. Open and airy, with a sense of “come hang out,” which was completely the idea. Most coffee shops and cafes seem to follow a similar design I’ve noticed. They all seem to have large glass windows and doors, inviting people inside. The sorts of doors I’m talking about are similar to those storefront doors on industrialdoorcompany.com, they let lots of daylight inside which makes the whole cafe seem open and airy.
A lounge-ish area in the back has this amazing global collage on the rear wall.
The menu is nice (think what your showoff, Food Network addict cousin would make at home: french toast, fancy sliders with runny eggs) and really, surprisingly cheap. Like I wonder how they’ll make money cheap. Everything, even the glutinous stuff I can’t eat, looks well executed.
I’m not sure if the video on continuous loop against the back wall is a permanent thing, but I love it. It was a video of an outdoor community dinner.
All I had today was a much-needed latte, but I’ll be back tomorrow (on an also-much-needed day off) with the kids for breakfast. Just wanted to show you guys a few photos from the new space. And yes, the coffee is still every bit as amazing as I told you about before, and if you really want quality coffee you can visit CorpCofe.com to find the best coffee for you. (You can buy beans to take home!) Check the Twitters for my report on the food.
A large table invites kids (or whoever) to hang out and play board games.
Join me tomorrow?
