Mean Mug Coffee Company

Very friendly staff with a nice atmosphere. We were driving through town and it was worth the detour to walk the small downtown and enjoy good coffee. I had a lavender vanilla iced latte that was very good. Definitely recommend.

Had the guat’s up breakfast, simple awesomeness. This place is what a coffee shop should be, thanks for a lovely meal!

the coffee is really good quality. If you pass through the area and want to try a good coffee, make a stop at this place.

What a find! The coffee is fresh, tasty and hot! I had a danish and it was delicious. The service is gracious and helpful without being intrusive.Right on the main drag with plenty of parking out front. Comfy chairs and a welcoming atmosphere for sitting and working or chilling.

Drove from Concord to check this place after finding great reviews. Please do yourself a favor and visit this gem of a local coffee shop in the center of beautiful downtown Salisbury. Very relaxing atmosphere. Great coffee from Magnolia Coffee (out of Charlotte). Barista was exceptionally friendly gentleman. Sit out front on the street and watch the town.

POST COVID UPDATE: I've made a point of visiting numerous times now that retail establishments are operating post-pandemic. I've gotten great drinks, good service and had some wonderful conversations with the staff. I'm updating my rating to reflect the experience I've had recently.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm not giving a 1 star review out of respect for the fact that I never got to try any beverage or food.

I walked in and within 2 minutes of standing in the short line I'd seen so many errors, poor customer service, unfulfilled online orders, etc, I made the wise decision to turn around and leave.

I don't know why anyone would visit here when you can walk down the hill and go elsewhere.

EDIT: In reply to the owner response:

I thought through my review for hours before posting, edited it numerous times and gave a 2 star review instead of the 1 star I was initially inclined to all in the interest of being as fair but honest as possible.

As a business owner myself, I value critical reviews as one of my best tools for growth. I would kindly suggest the same for you.

Thanks for the blessing. I’m certainly blessed beyond what I deserve!

Bagels are store bought. Employees were lethargic and don’t know the menu. Online menu descriptions need commas so customers don’t drive out of their way to be disappointed (it’s turkey, bacon, & egg NOT turkey bacon & egg!). Coffee was okay, but not outstanding. Ended up throwing the sandwich away and going to Panera Bread.

A great local coffee spot. Friendly folks even know to hold a cell phone for you if you got to go to the courthouse. (Leave them in the car, no phones allowed in court) ......back on point here, Cold Brew on tap ! Tasty treats and assorted items as well.
Highly recommend you stop in. Nice break from Starbucks. On street parking easy.

The best way to start the day, to recharge and get a bite. The staff is very personal and friendly.

Best local coffee in Salisbury. Their breakfast menu is great.
