I came to the Ugly Mug coffee shop in Wellingborough today to grab some lunch it was a Friday afternoon and it was quite quiet. The man serving me today was very nice and i liked that there was a good display of what looked to be freshly baked products. I do have to say though there was no menu downstairs when ordering hut i can see upstairs they had. Perhaps the customers forgot to put it back down but it would have been helpful to be able to see all that was offered.
I ordered a Biscoff hot chocolate which was served to me upstairs however i do have to say i wasnt impressed that there wasnt a coaster so when he left the weight of the cream and toppings meant the cup overflowed and i couldn't see any napkins that i could use to fix this nor was this offered.
When i took a sip, the cream was very nice and i liked the biscoff toppings but while the top part was nice and crunchy the bottom was starting to disintegrate causing an unpleasant texture that reminded me of those dunked digestive biscuits that fall to the bottom of the cup
I also ordered a cheddar and jalapeno sausage roll which the staff kindly warmed up for me which was appreciated especially during the colder weather. It was served to me on a plate a knife and a fork with a napkin.
The pastry was a little on the soggy side perhaps as a result of it being reheated but there was a nice heat coming from the jalapenos. It does not give me the idea of it being a sausage roll though, it is more like sausage meat in a wrap. I liked the cheddar they used for this as it complimented the heat of the jalapenos.
It was not greasy and i liked the flavour. I would have loved to see some sort of tap water being available for a drink upstairs but otherwise, it was good.
For £7.50 for a hot chocolate and a nice sausage roll, i would give this place four stars. It is a nice place to go to, with a lot of options available. I would come here again.

Ugly Mug, tucked away in Wellingborough, pleasantly surprised us with its unique charm and amazing food. Our visit to this coffee shop left us eager to return for more.
The coffee at Ugly Mug was fantastic. We savoured a Caramel Latte which was honestly one of the best I've had. The baristas clearly know their craft, and it showed in the quality of their coffee.
Onto the food. We couldn't resist trying their Steak Sandwich and Marmite Fries. The Steak Sandwich was a flavourful treat making each bite a delight. The Marmite Fries turned out to be surprisingly good! The unique combination of Marmite and crispy fries was a delightful adventure. It might not be for everyone, but it's definitely worth trying if you're feeling a bit adventurous. If your looking to try a new food spot, I would highly recommend. This really is food worth traveling for!
Service was friendly and efficient, adding to our positive experience. We will definitely be returning to this amazing little coffee shop.

Nice breakfast/brunch place. They have nice cookies, croissants, smoothies and French toast. The savory options are also very good. We liked the atmosphere.

Lovely bright and airy building with outdoor seating overlooking church. Hidden away gem! Food was delicious I had cinnamon biscotti french toast and husband had full English with particularly good sausage. Would recommend and definitely go again. Breakfast menu varied. Coffee lovely too! Price about average.

Stopped by Ugly Mug for lunch and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was top-notch.
I had the beef tacos, and they were a burst of flavor in each bite. My wife went for the sourdough baguette with chicken, which she couldn't stop raving about.
We also shared a side of garlic and Marmite fries that were absolutely addictive. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection.
Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Well done, Ugly Mug, you've gained some new regulars!

Dan and his staff at Ugly mug came to our rescue after an issue with another local restaurant for a family members birthday. Despite less than 24hrs notice they managed to accommodate a large group of 17 of us, two of which has dietary requirements with no fuss at all. Food was fantastic quality and incredibly tasty, everyone loved the food and drink available. We will definitely recommend to anyone who wants good quality food in a lovely environment. Thank you again Dan and your team, you’ll be seeing us again soon!

We've been to Ugly Mug a few times now and usually thoroughly enjoy it, unfortunately the last time we went the service wasn't great. It was on a Saturday afternoon and the cafe was reasonably quiet. Looks as though they were training somebody new and unfortunately we were overcharged slightly as they had taken our order down wrong. When our food arrived the bacon ciabatta we ordered had sausages in and no extra bacon, the sausages were just removed rather than a new one being sent out, it was also missing the extra bacon. The children's cake and drinks took ages to come out and we actually had to remind the staff twice and had already finished our lunch before the children hot there's. I'm not put of by going again maybe it was just a bad day? All in all its a lovely little cafe

Everything freshly made and delicious. I just have to keep going back to check I’m not dreaming. Family run business that knocks the socks off other places. All dietary types catered for. I don’t mind waiting for food of this quality.

Tasty and filling breakfast sandwich and a lovely spot to sit and enjoy it with a coffee. Well worth a short walk from Wellingborough Town centre.

This place is amazing. The best freshly made avocado on toast I've ever had and a delicious cappuccino. Highly recommended!
