I came to the Ugly Mug coffee shop in Wellingborough today to grab some lunch it was a Friday afternoon and it was quite quiet. The man serving me today was very nice and i liked that there was a good display of what looked to be freshly baked products. I do have to say though there was no menu downstairs when ordering hut i can see upstairs they had. Perhaps the customers forgot to put it back down but it would have been helpful to be able to see all that was offered.
I ordered a Biscoff hot chocolate which was served to me upstairs however i do have to say i wasnt impressed that there wasnt a coaster so when he left the weight of the cream and toppings meant the cup overflowed and i couldn't see any napkins that i could use to fix this nor was this offered.
When i took a sip, the cream was very nice and i liked the biscoff toppings but while the top part was nice and crunchy the bottom was starting to disintegrate causing an unpleasant texture that reminded me of those dunked digestive biscuits that fall to the bottom of the cup
I also ordered a cheddar and jalapeno sausage roll which the staff kindly warmed up for me which was appreciated especially during the colder weather. It was served to me on a plate a knife and a fork with a napkin.
The pastry was a little on the soggy side perhaps as a result of it being reheated but there was a nice heat coming from the jalapenos. It does not give me the idea of it being a sausage roll though, it is more like sausage meat in a wrap. I liked the cheddar they used for this as it complimented the heat of the jalapenos.
It was not greasy and i liked the flavour. I would have loved to see some sort of tap water being available for a drink upstairs but otherwise, it was good.
For £7.50 for a hot chocolate and a nice sausage roll, i would give this place four stars. It is a nice place to go to, with a lot of options available. I would...
Read moreUgly Mug, tucked away in Wellingborough, pleasantly surprised us with its unique charm and amazing food. Our visit to this coffee shop left us eager to return for more.
The coffee at Ugly Mug was fantastic. We savoured a Caramel Latte which was honestly one of the best I've had. The baristas clearly know their craft, and it showed in the quality of their coffee.
Onto the food. We couldn't resist trying their Steak Sandwich and Marmite Fries. The Steak Sandwich was a flavourful treat making each bite a delight. The Marmite Fries turned out to be surprisingly good! The unique combination of Marmite and crispy fries was a delightful adventure. It might not be for everyone, but it's definitely worth trying if you're feeling a bit adventurous. If your looking to try a new food spot, I would highly recommend. This really is food worth traveling for!
Service was friendly and efficient, adding to our positive experience. We will definitely be returning to this amazing little...
Read morepopped in the cafe after dropping my car in for a service. They had an offer on of either bacon or sausage bap with a hot drink for £5. Nice and clean in the cafe with nice seating. Served by friendly staff and opted for a bacon bap and a black coffee, you also get a portion of Hash browns with it. Sat near the back which overlooks the Church and grounds, so really nice views. Coffee nice quality and food arrived shortly after. Bacon served in a brioche bun. Nice quality bacon and lovely hash browns (not greasy). Overall a pleasant cafe. You are able to order breakfast your way but noticed the items priced at £1.50 each item. Perhaps if they did just a breakfast special with a drink and a set price i would have opted for that. I will be back to try a full breakfast but overall a tasty bap and nice coffee. It was quiet when i visited but it was early morning on a week day. Worth a go, and looked like a good...
