I went to return a Redbox and my eyes wandered over to a new sign that said, "Mugs Coffee." What's this? A new coffee shop?! Yep...It's a quiet, little coffee shop in the Harris Teeter shopping center (next to Portofino's).
They sell muffins and your typical coffee shop beverages. They're in the process of getting a liquor license to sell wine.
Free wifi, nice seating, and I think the owner said that they'll get some live music. Actually, now that I write that last little bit, I can't exactly remember...I may be making that up.
In any case, if you are needing a quiet spot for productivity to bloom, this is the place...well, until it becomes more well known. Visit here, bring your work or a good book...see you there.
