ABOUT US

Why Mugshot Coffee?

1. Tongue in cheek. Espresso shots in a mug.

2. One of the owners (Dave) has been in more than one “Gotcha” paper over the years thanks to an abusive relationship with a bottle.

We thought we’d try to make light of Dave’s struggles with alcoholism, while celebrating overcoming addiction.

Not owned by a L.E.O. but absolutely have love for them. Dave wouldn’t be alive without his last arrest.

Here at Mugshot, we celebrate everyone. We’re all humans with flaws and triumphs.

We also have a sense of humor.

FAQ

Q: What type of restaurant are you?

A: We are a bit different. We aren’t a Restaurant with Coffee. We are a Coffee Shop with Food. We do make one helluva Breakfast Burrito though.

Q: Do you have a “Jailhouse” theme?

A: Absolutely not. There was a misunderstanding with news outlets when we announced our intent to open. Our Mugshot mugs are about as jailhouse as we get. Inside is bright, a bit crazy and overall FUN. We hope you like orange.

Q: When did you open?

A: Our Grand opening was December 21st, 2024.
