Mug Shots Coffee House — Restaurant in Oroville

Located in the heart of downtown Oroville, Mug Shots Coffee House provides a cute little hideaway for those who are looking for a pick-me-up and a lovely place to enjoy it. Bonus Points: Mug Shots provides free-wifi for customers which makes this a perfect spot to get some work done over a drink.

Mug Shots has a wide variety of drinks including coffees, teas, and smoothies. I'm not a big coffee person myself (sacrilegious I know, but unfortunately I find the drink too bitter for my tastes), so I went with one of their smoothie selections - the manga mania smoothie. While waiting for my drink, I found a spot at one of their tables, whipped out my laptop and settled in to get some work done. The barista had my drink out in no time and was very kind in bringing it directly to my table. I really enjoyed the drink and the overall ambience of the coffee shop definitely adds to the experiences. The interior is very cute and reminds me of the feeling you get when you visit your grandmother's house - a nice warm homecoming.

If you're looking for a cute coffee shop and a place to work, then Mug Shots is...

Being essentially the only coffee shop in this part of down town, I was hoping it would be a great experience. It never really has been over the year of me going there. First, I felt like I was walking into 2019 when Covid wasn't a thing. People eating freely inside without masks, tables close together and no rules enforced. It's no surprise cases are surging in Oroville. Second, I was surprised to find that even with the disregard for Covid you still couldn't self serve creamer and sugar in coffee that really wasn't very good.

The good: It seems like specialty coffee drinks are okay. There are tons of food options and service is friendly and done in a reasonable time frame.

Suggestion: outdoor curb seating and actually enforce Covid guidelines. Make self serve coffee available w/...

My husband and I really enjoy stopping off in the morning after our morning walk to buy some freshly brewed coffee from Mug Shots. Several years ago when I was out Christmas shopping for my husband I decided to purchase him a gift certificate from Mug Shot with the hope that he would start to enjoy drinking coffee with me. Well that stocking stuffer gift was the best gift I ever purchased for him. To this day at the beginning of each month he puts down money because he doesn't want his tab to run out of funds. Back to my review, Mug Shots quaint lobby is really a great place to gather with your friends, to read a paper, or browse the internet. They also have an array of delicious pasties. Stop by, I know you will love Mug Shots and it will soon become your favorite coffee shop...
