The Mug Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Harvard

My buddy and I just hopped off the train, waiting for a ride, when we decide to go for a walk. We see this place, “The Mug Coffeehouse”, and think, “we’re thirsty, let’s check it out.” So we walk in, this place is way bigger than we thought, my buddy uses the bathroom, which is very clean and smells great, and we start looking at the menu. The food and drinks look, smell, and sound delicious. The prices are crazy, as in crazy low. Everything we got (three drinks and a bakery item) was under $15, including tip! The girl working the station was super nice and put out samples for the Caribbean Lemonade. This lemonade was not sour at all, perfectly sweet, with a great berry flavor. It was so good that we got 2 of them. I got a lotus berry energy drink and it is absolutely amazing, the perfect amount of coconut flavor, the perfect balance of sweetness, it was bubbly, and the color is very instagram worthy. I forgot to mention the interior of the place, very cozy with all types of seating, locally sourced art, and just very soft and comforting lighting. I’m definitely coming again, I’m going to make it a tradition from now on when I get off the train...

When it comes to quantity versus quality, Mug Coffeehouse shines on the quality side. I had the Rustic Beef and loved every bite. The sub was cut in half, and each half was sufficient enough for lunch. I took half home and will enjoy it tomorrow. The bread was "different" as most sub sandwiches go: It was ciabatta bread and it is as delicious. The roast beef had great flavor as did the cheddar cheese. I had an orange cranberry scone for dessert: Perfect density (for me), great orange flavor, plenty of fresh cranberries, and a sweet but not thick glaze. The best surprise was the lemonade mango peach "Refresher." We ordered and split a medium, polished that off and went back to the counter and ordered another one. Only the second one was a large! Quaint and quiet, Mug is a light fare place that you don't...

The place used to be named Firehouse Depot Coffeehouse I believe, the previous owner was a good friend of mine until she retired. Then she sold the place to another person who was a bit uptight 😱😂😝😊.. “You can’t bring your leftover foods here and there and you can’t bring your own snacks “ His a bit dictatorial, 😂I told him at some point am diabetic and need to eat this “ medicinal bar” he didn’t care.😳😩😤😂 he didn’t care. I believe the store was close for over a year, then suddenly last week I was surprised it was open and Totally a Different Positive Vibes! I love the place. It’s where I have to wait for my next train for work to Chicago!Am glad it’s open and a new management...
