Mean Mug Coffeehouse Hamilton Place

Traveling through town. Stopped here wanting to try something other than Starbucks. Everything seemed great. The lady who took my order and made my coffee was super nice. Then I tried the flat white. Boy was it flat. It was about 90% milk and barely any coffee. Worst flat white I've ever had. Unfortunately I was on my way to my destination before i tried it or I woukd have returned it. I ended up drinking about 1/3 of it before I could not handle it any longer. I just wanted it to get better, but it never did. WAY TOO MUCH MILK!

I stopped by today after meaning to try this place for the longest time, especially after hearing so many great things. I finally ordered their salmon bagel, and wow—it completely exceeded my expectations. The salmon had the perfect level of smokiness, and paired with the whipped feta cream cheese and fresh vegetables, it was an absolute dream combination. If you’re craving a salmon bagel, this café should be your go-to spot. It truly delivers. I also ordered my usual iced latte with coconut, caramel, and mocha—what one of the employees jokingly called a “Sanoa,” which gave me a good laugh. Somehow, they made it even better than I imagined. From the quality of the food and drinks to the exceptional customer service and genuine friendliness, this place surpassed my standards in every way. I’m so glad I finally stopped in—it’s officially part of my regular rotation now.

Great spot for vegan breakfast options, which is nearly impossible to find. Multiple great choices for everyone on the food side, with low prices. Convenient location to hamilton area. Nice people. Tofu scramble bagel: 10/10 - needs a little salt and pepper, but they have it.

Grabbed mocha coffee and green matcha and food to go. Waited a bit but food was hot and delicious. My mocha wasn’t very hot. The staff works hard and is very friendly. The restaurant seemed clean although two yellow sofa chairs were soiled, a turn off. Overall, still give this breakfast nook five stars. Thank you for serving my wife and I.

A welcome respite from hotel breakfast! We visited Mean Mug this morning and will likely go back tomorrow. Not sure what is different about their coffee but it was perfect. It was nice to see a vegetarian selection beyond toast. I ordered the grits and veggies bowl with tofu scramble, and it was delicious. Update: Have been there two more times this trip. I also tried the egg and avocado toast, iced matcha latte, breakfast croissant with vegetarian sausage, and split a cinnamon roll with my partner. All food has been amazing!
