Three commenters describe Ugly Mugs as a favorite or regular place for work or study. One recommends the black bear latte, and two mention ample seating, though a commenter warns the comfortable seats can be taken. Some visitors like the drinks and atmosphere; another dislikes the coffee. Praise for a former cold-brew recipe is historical, not a promise that the current drink is the same.
