Besides coffee, The Mud House also serves tea and food including the American Breakfast (scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, wheat toast, and raspberry jam) or the Mud Slinger (sunny eggs, breakfast potatoes, black bean chili, cheddar, and onion with wheat toast) to name a couple.

Reviews ….They had a special Ube latte that sounded good, so I ordered an iced Ube latte. It knocked my socks off! It is literally the best iced coffee drink I have ever had and it’s gorgeous! I sat inside and drank it and the location and space are beautiful. The Ube latte was so good I came back the very next day to order another one…. (Yelp reviewer.)

The founders of Protagonist Cafe also established Pieces: Board Game Bar and Restaurant that’s nearby, also clever and unique. The menu includes lattes, mochas, drip coffees, teas, espresso, wine, other beverages, and to-go food. Interestingly, this establishment is located in an old building, and to preserve its history and integrity, it was decided not to tear it up and build a kitchen.
