Crema's Take
“Tucked in Fletcher, this beloved local spot feels like the coffee shop equivalent of a warm hug, with a genuinely homey atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back year after year. Beyond their solid espresso drinks, they've built a loyal following for their thoughtful tea selection and pastries like the standout spinach and feta croissant, all delivered by a consistently friendly team that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit. Whether you're settling in for a slow sit with a specialty drink or grabbing a cold brew through the drive-thru, The Ugly Mug strikes that rare balance of being both a genuine third space and a convenient neighborhood stop.”

I used to come here about once a week or more a few years ago, but stopped drinking coffee until recently, so I stopped back in, the place is just as "homey" feeling now as it was then. I asked the female barista (she's very kind) for a recommendation (it was dark chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut maybe ?) Delicious to the last drop! As I was leaving the other male barista, asked me if I start everyday with a coffee and no food (I guiltily replied yes) and from their and through his recommendation I found myself over a hot cinnamon roll driving down the road ..icing all over my steering wheel. Glad I chose to come back and glad I got the cinnamon roll!
The Ugly mug is one of my favorite stops. They have great coffee, tea selections and delicious pastries. I personally love the spinach and feta croissant. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The drive through window is a great option for someone in a rush. Hope you get a chance to stop by and try it out.
A+ Experience! We attended an event just outside of Hendersonville and wanted a coffee for the three hour ride home. Stopped by here from a Google search. We used the drive-through. Barista's were very friendly. I asked for something unique and she provided a delicious raspberry mocha that she designed herself. I told her that my wife wanted a caffeine boost but didn't like the taste of coffee. "No problem at all", she says and makes a wonderful sweet seasonal caramel flavor that my wife loved. We will definitely be visiting again when we return to Hendersonville.
Absolutely loved this awesome local joint! The Ugly Mug encapsulates exactly why local coffee shops are my favorite; the coffee( hot & frappe) was delicious, the atmosphere was authentic, relaxed, and fun(love the English bulldog decor); this was the perfect spot for my wife & I to grab a coffee, and I recommend it wholeheartedly! I rarely ever order a second cup, but this place was awesome, so it was worth it!
We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and delicious coffee. They have a nice selection of coffee and tea. We ordered an iced vanilla latte, snickers latte, a zebra mocha and regular mocha. We enjoyed our choices. They also have an assortment of pastries.
