Great place full of locals. Friendly staff, quality baked goods and good prices. Highly recommend this place if you appreciate local business rather than big chains like Robin’

This place was recommended to me by a Cape Breton’er living in Ontario. This place did not disappoint. The cafe was quite busy just after lunch hour.I ordered a Cafe Mocha and just had to taste their well known cinnamon roll. Both were phenomenal! Highly recommend.The location is in some strip plaza - you likely wouldn’t expect a gem like this to be in there. Inside you have a very relaxed atmosphere. As a tourist it was nice to see some locally sourced items for purchase at the front. Local businesses supporting other local businesses - loved it!

After traveling around the entire island for the week, we stopped in the Ugly Mug to grab some quick caffeine. Best coffee we had on the island - hands down.Scones, croissant breakfast sandwiches, and muffins were all wonderful.A must stop!

We went for a light breakfast two days in a row. My latte was perfect and the morning glory muffins delicious. They have a nice selection of baked goods, with several kinds of muffins, scones, and biscuits. It seems like the kind of place a lot of locals go to because everyone was greeting each other by name.

Ugly Mug is a delightful place to meet up with friends. There's a great variety of cool crafts for sale, and the café is wonderful. It's licensed, too, so enjoy beer, wine, or specialty coffees.
