Caffeinated Birthdays: Have Your Cake And Coffee Too

“And many more” indeed. Two of our favorite new coffee shops are celebrating their first birthdays this week. We can hardly believe that it’s been a year since DrinkHaus’ mango blood orange gelato passed our lips for the first time, and since we parked our butts at Ugly Mugs on what was the first of [...]

Happy Hour: Great Coffeehouse Showdown

Have you sounded off on your favorite coffee shops? So far Ugly Mugs has taken the lead, but CREMA is rallying back! [Yours Truly] If you’re hanging around Belmont tonight (we’re talking to you, seniors who need convo credit!), catch Nashvillest editor Morgan Levy on a panel about the rights, rules, and realities of social [...]

You Tell Us: Coffee Shops [Different Strokes For Different Folks]

Hypothetically speaking, if today had been a snow day, we’d probably be lurking around at CREMA or Ugly Mugs, sipping a warm beverage and blogging after a refreshing full night of sleep (hey, we can dream, can’t we?). We’re always sort of jealous of those freelancer folks who can sit around at coffee shops all [...]

Brrrr: Nashville Rescue Mission Needs Your Help

Hey Nashville, it’s COLD. We know this because kids even weaseled their way out of school because of the cold today. Now think about how cold it would be if you were homeless, and especially if you didn’t have a warm coat, or some gloves and a hat. The Nashville Rescue Mission is especially in [...]

Ugly Mugs Brightens Up Monday Morning With Free Coffee

The only problem is that sometimes they’re so busy that we can’t even find a seat, which is not a bad problem to have for a brand new business. The remedy? Jarod and Courtney are answering consumer demand for increased hours, starting today! [...]

Vote For Us In The Best Of Nashville!

So, dear readers, head on over to the Best Of Nashville Reader’s Poll and fill in as many blanks as you can [...]

East Nashville Invasion: Fresh Blends & Ugly Mugs

The East Nashville invasion is complete – Fresh Blends and Ugly Mugs have both officially opened their doors to the public. We set out on a mission last week to try them both, choosing to visit Fresh Blends first and save Ugly Mugs for their grand opening on Saturday.  Fresh Blends is tiny and bare, [...]

Nashville Newcomers: Fresh Blends Juice & Smoothie Bar

East Nashville, we hope you’re prepared for the upcropping of brand new (awesome) local businesses. When we talked to Ugly Mugs the other day, they let us know about Fresh Blends, a new juice bar located next door to their new space (1888 Eastland Ave). We gave Fresh Blends a call, and they graciously answered [...]

Nashville Newcomers: Ugly Mugs

We love us some coffee shops in Nashville. Even with dozens already established and thriving (and no, we’re not including Starbucks in that count), there’s always room for newcomers in our coffee scene. We’d have to be crazy to complain about having one more excuse to get caffeinated. Ugly Mugs Coffee & Tea is our [...]
