The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and it’s clear that the staff genuinely care. You won’t just find great coffee here—you’ll find great people, too. I always look forward to catching up with the friendly staff, and having amazing conversations with them. My go-to drink is the Hey Jude with all dark chocolate. And if you’re hungry, try the chicken chipotle melt. It’s easily one of the best chicken sandwiches in Fresno! Big shoutout to the amazing staff and owner for creating such a wonderful space.

“ This little piece of heaven is a hidden gem. With a variety of coffee drinks, breakfast and lunch items, its got a lot to offer. Its quaint atmosphere is quite homely. Where everyone who walks in is treated like family. The Breakfast Brioche is by far one of my favorite things there. Legit. Some coffee places have breakfast sandwiches to supplement their menu, but this sandwich is something I will go in for all by itself next time. You've got to try it! And if you haven't. You won't regret it! *note. Angelo is such a treat!! A local artist who features his work here. ”
“ 1st time eating here and it was amazingly and surprisingly freaking awesome the breakfast sandwiches where on point the avocado toast sandwich and the marble works sandwich is worth trying also the the funky monkey coffee is good to go in the morning especially if you like banana and coffee in one don't sound to good but let me tell you it goes perfect together ”

“ 5-STAR REVIEW I'm obsessed with The Mug coffee shop in Fresno! The warm atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Owners Mike and Crystal are rockstars, creating a cozy, inclusive space perfect for remote workers, students, and coffee lovers. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The menu is impressive, with must-try items like homemade cinnamon rolls, veggie wraps, and iced coffee. What I love most is The Mug's commitment to building community. They host local events, art exhibits, and partner with small businesses. I meet here weekly for Toastmasters, and the staff always ensures we have everything we need. If you haven't checked out The Mug yet, go! You won't regret it. ”

“ Came here after my morning walk at Woodward. Absolutely delicious coffee and great atmosphere. The barista was so friendly and gave me good recommendations. It feels like coffee shops used to feel. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks! Hopefully I'll come back a little later in the morning so I can try breakfast! ”
