The Ugly Mug Coffee Roasters

The Ugly Mug in Gettysburg is an independent roaster and café a little way off the town square. It's artsy and eclectic, with local art on the walls and an old-school coffeehouse feel. There are couches for reading and tables for working, and college students, professors and locals all use it as a regular spot.

They roast their own coffee. The espresso drinks are smooth and full-bodied. The Butter Rum Latte is the house favorite, and the nitro cold brew draws coffee fans from all over the state. For food, there are breakfast sandwiches, homemade hummus and Venezuelan arepas, with several vegetarian options.

The staff often remember regulars' orders, and the shop has been working on sustainability.
