Here at the Kerry Carr Team, we love highlighting local businesses that bring something truly special to our community. This month, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on MUG Coffee & Clay, a one-of-a-kind specialty coffee shop and ceramics studio that’s as heartfelt as it is handcrafted.
A Business Built on Passion and Purpose
MUG was born out of a simple but powerful motivation: “We wanted to share our specialty coffee and offer clay workshops in our community.” Founders Luis and Hannah combined their talents—he roasts the coffee, she makes the cups—to create a space where both art and flavor can thrive.
The name MUG says it all: it’s a nod to the very vessels that hold their craft—whether it’s a perfectly pulled espresso shot or a hand-thrown ceramic masterpiece.
Coffee, Clay, and Community
Ask them their favorite part of the job and they’ll tell you: “We get to share our coffee and creativity with the community.” Every pour and pottery session is an invitation to slow down, connect, and appreciate the care that goes into the process.
Their long-term vision is just as inspiring: “We hope to cultivate community.” MUG isn’t just a place to grab your morning brew—it’s a gathering spot for creativity, conversation, and connection.
A Global Spirit with Local Roots
If they could travel anywhere in the world? Japan and the Philippines—two places rich in tradition and craftsmanship. They wish more people knew just how much care goes into every detail: “Quality is worth investing in; a lot goes into coffee production and our services.”
Personality Meets Passion
Fans of The X-Files, Luis and Hannah also bring a little personality into their space—so don’t be surprised if “The Boys Are Back in Town” starts playing as you walk in. It’s their walk-up song of choice and a perfect anthem for this welcoming, fun, and fiercely creative duo.
