History

Established in 1995.

Ugly Mug Café was around 'the Ave' since 1995. Sharing nearly two decades of history with the University of Washington and the community around it. Over the years, there has been a few changes in ownership - slight touches here and there - however, one thing remained the same: the atmosphere, the warmth and the coziness that the place holds; there was something magical about it! Ugly Mug Café felt like a second home, at least to me it was. That is when my friends and I had acquired the business. We wanted to do everything right. We wanted to improve on quality, service, and speed. We started to do some research for the ways to improve our products: sandwich, soups and coffee. So we started to study deep into it, and that is when we fell in love with coffee. Now, we are professionally roasting, brewing and serving coffee. Further down the road, we will seek out to the corners around the world serving and sharing the goodness that coffee can bring with the people. From farm to our table
