I literally have posted this picture after taking my first delectable, foamy chocolate sip of this latte. :)
I came to Ugly Mug Cafe once again, this time to fulfill my last-minute studying for my art history final that is taking place about 5 hours from now...I could have studied a bunch yesterday since I had no class, but due to my utter and complete exhaustion from the flash mob that was on Sunday in the downtown area (since we did intense practicing for hours and performed the mob on the same day...in 80 degree weather), I needed to rest instead of reading about art work. So here I am, more energized and motivated as I should be, while hearing the lovely echoes of a Bossa Nova song throughout the cafe, as I am ready to crack open that book you see in the upper part of the photo. ;) Wish me luck! ~~MC

But really, it's the name of my "second home" (besides the other second homes that include bookstores and coffee shops in general!), a cafe that I never get tired of and that sits happily near UW campus. It's a very small space--yet the cozy furniture and humbling art work surrounded by the warm yellow-painted walls, the coffee drinks and meals made purely with heart, and their diverse yet soothing music make you feel like you're in your own little room... So words like "hurry" or "rush" don't exist in this cafe. :) Their coffee drinks are mostly what you may find in other cafes, but each drink has so much character to the way it looks that you'll find yourself admiring it almost too long before actually drinking it! Their meals include soups (my favorite of which is pumpkin tomato), sandwiches (Veggie Foccacia is the best!!), and even a breakfast plate where they give you eggs, an english muffin with a sweet creamy spread, and other delicate eats! And as for the drinks, I mostly order their Ovaltine Latte (sweet and rich) or their milky dreamy Earl Grey Tea Latte...Mmmmmmm. If you all of a sudden find yourself in the bustling busy street of University Ave in Seattle, achingly wondering where you can get yourself the best, coziest, warmest meal of your life, just walk in the delightful aura of Ugly Mug and you let the noise of life drain out of you. :) Happy Saturday (and Happy early Mother's Day)! ~~MC |
