Mud And Char

Cute coffee shop in a low key part of Downers. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Tried one of their seasonal lattes and was happy with milk options and quality craft drink. Also had the lox bagel, which was very tasty. If you’re a cream cheese lover, they definitely don’t skimp on the cream cheese! Salmon tasted fresh too. Will definitely come again.

Do yourself a favor and stop here. Get the Smores overnight oats and the lemon blackberry loaf. If you're a true coffee fanatic-- the argon cold brew is top notch.

The guys here were above and beyond making sure my coffee had enough pumps of my flavor choices. Even offering to let me try it and adding more if needed.

Love a small owned coffee shop and will be returning back to this one. GO TRY IT.

Angela always has the best attitude and an handles the drinks well while busy! Always love coming to M&C to start my day! Great drinks & delicious food from the crew

Wonderful local coffee shop. Real espresso machine, not automated. Supportive local coffee with unique flavors you can’t find at a chain. Shop local. Support local.

Discovered this place today bc I was tired of Panera’s bagels lol

They have a nice variety of bagel selections and I loveee that they smothered my bagel with cream cheese. Didn’t get any toppings but I might next time. Also got a strawberry banana smoothie with chia seeds and enjoyed it. I plan on coming back and trying different items since I live near by and work remote - I may even camp out here for a work day 🤗

My only complaint is that they aren't open earlier in the morning, otherwise I would go every day! Excellent coffees, teas, overnight oats, scones, breakfast sandwiches and salads.

Adorable coffee shop with delicious drinks and food. The staff is so warm and helpful. A local coffee shop was so needed in Downers Grove as an alternative to all the Starbucks! If you’re looking for a more unique local spot, this is it.

This place is a hidden gem! We got the cold brew and macchiato for drinks which both did not disappoint. To eat we got the loaded lox bagel and oh my gosh so good we will definitely be back to try some of their loose leaf teas and power bowls.

Might be one of the best 'quick' breakfasts i've had in a year. Moving from the city to the suburbs has been difficult, but I think I just found a little bit of hope for my morning coffee and breakfast sandwich. Staff was friendly and fast. They don't take AMEX, which is pretty typical for a suburban small business trying to figure things out. Highly recommend!

Moving back to neighborhood and found this gem. Recently I've been dairy free and do they have options. They also have this pudding with chia seeds and coconut milk thats so 😋. I wish the place was little bigger but it is so cute.
