Your Mama’s Mug

I’m a local and in the very short free time I have I walk down the street and head straight to Your Mama’s mug for the acai bowl — I’m obsessed. Not to mention killer drinks. Friendly, great service and I’m never let down.

Iced latte is not made with fresh brewed espresso… it is only toddy. And an extra 50 cents for an iced drink? Get the hell outta here. The older woman who took my order was talking to someone else at the counter while I was trying to order my coffee. Completely rude and annoying. The man working there made a bacon and egg sandwich without gloves on his hands. Ewwww. Go to Lazy Hummingbird for a WAY better latte, better atmosphere, friendlier folks, more places to sit inside and outside, and a way better vibe.

My wife and I were celebrating our 35^th anniversary with a day in Ocean Beach. We kicked the morning off here and sat at the table out on the sidewalk and watched the world go by for awhile. I’m a purist and love a good cup of black coffee. This cup was AWESOME. Kathy had a latte which she said was good but could have been better. She was much more pleased with her tomato/​avocado bagel sandwich, and I enjoyed a great banana muffin.
Nice folks here, reasonable prices, and an atmosphere that keeps up the OB funky theme. Grab that sidewalk table and enjoy!

Wonderful coffee & a delicious array of pastries! I enjoy their bulk coffee for sale, so many different roasts and flavors from Cookies & Cream to Toasted Coconut! The staff is always friendly and just a lovely place to grab a cup of coffee if you are in OB!

Yum!!! One of the best coffees i have ever had. I got an iced expresso with butter pecan coffee and half and half with 2 sugars in the raw. So good! Bob was awesome too!

The best mom and pop coffee shop in the world! Judy and Bob are so kind and wonderful and make you feel at home. The food and assortment of coffees and teas are incredible! We love our Your Mama’s Mug shirts too! My dog absolutely loves it here and there’s nowhere else my family would rather spend a Weekend morning. Can’t say enough spectacular things about YMM!

I really love this place. They are just excellent! Your Mama’s Mug has been a staple of OB culture for many years. They have a robust selection of coffees and teas and make splendid fresh fruit smoothies. I recommend their spiced cider or Chai latte’s for those breezy walks on the peir. Also, if you come in regularly, you feel like part of their family! They will have your drink ready in a heartbeat no matter what tickles your fancy.
I’m not certain if the owners still have their little Pomeranian but they are definitely a dog friendly establishment… mainly because most of their seating is outdoors in a very interesting setup that you’ll just have to experience for yourself. Starbucks is great but if you want a homegrown cuppa’ while down in OB then definitely hit Your Mama’s Mug!

Love this place! The place is cute and has a nice homie feel to it. The service is very warm and friendly. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and I had a bite of my friends croissant with cream cheese frosting, Tasty and affordable. Will most definitely be back:)

Judy and Bob are always so welcoming. The coffee is great and you get your bang for your buck when you order the iced coffee (mostly espresso, then you top it off with fresh brew)

Great coffee, especially the Vietnamese. Wonderful mini quiches, and pastries. Very friendly staff, fast free wifi, and a block from the ocean. Perfect!

This is a very cute coffee shop! The owners were very nice and it felt like a small town coffee shop. The coffee was delicious and the brownies as well. Definitely worth a visit!

Waited prob 20min for my breakfast sandwich and when I got home to eat it, it was hard and tasted stale n old. Had 5 lbs of burnt bacon on it and was just disgusting. I would have rather given the $ 11 I just spent to a traveller. will never go back.

so many good reviews but I have to share, I went to your mama’s mug and the experience was awful. I was told by the lady that she would honor the coupon, she mischarged me then later retracted that the coupon was a misprint so she wouldn’t honor it– and refused a refund. I was charged $ 8 for a dirty chai and it was the worst coffee drink I have ever had and I’ve had a frappicino before… I would never go back even though I get the feeling my experience may have been a fluke. If you like chai; whatever you do don’t order the chai!

Definitely a hidden gem. The coffee is absolutely terrific and the service is great! if you don’t know what you want they will let you take your time without rushing you or give you a great choice. Definitely one of my faves in OB

Stopped in for a mama’s mocha and acai bowl. The mocha was delicious. The acai bowl looked impressive and was made fresh as I ordered it. It had fresh strawberries, blueberries and a whole banana. There was a generous portion of granola as well as coconut flakes sprinkled on top. The acai was blended with honey and then drizzled with honey. It was too sweet for my liking but overall a great acai bowl but a little too sweet. Next time I’d ask for way less honey.
The shop itself was a cute little local spot with regular customers. Numerous java options, some pastries displayed and a restroom for customers only.

I was waiting for my boyfriend to get a tattoo at the place store and bought an eclaire, it was kind of hard and then there was a lot of mold on the whipped cream, i gave it back to the barista and he acted like it wasn’t a big deal and laughed, I lost my appetite. .I won’t eat anything here ever

Your Mama’s Mug is the best coffee shop in OB. It has the best selection of coffee and the owners/​employees are so sweet! I am a loyal customer and always will be! Support your local coffee shop and come here for your coffee drinks & bagels instead of starbucks!

Found this place on a whim and I love the small shop feel. The two guys that were working are very friendly and welcomed us right in. They have a pretty large drink selection, coffee and non-​coffee choices. We just had an iced chai (good) and an iced tea (good) WITH a cinnamon roll (GOOOOODDDDD). They also have sandwiches they make right there. Didn’t have one but they looked delicious, fresh, and healthy.
Check it out of you’re in San Diego and looking for a nice local spot.

This is nice small little coffee shop and then some. What I really liked about the place was the friendliness of the owners. I came in and ordered a 12 oz Americano and lemon poppy seed scone. (
)
After being heated, the scone was very good with a nice light texture, not a dense as most scones, but still with that scone appeal. (
) The flavor was quite lemony and the vanilla icing swirls on top were a nice touch. The Americano unfortunately was to harsh and bitter for my taste. I took a few drinks, but after that I had enough of it, and disposed of it. It just did not provide that nice rich smoothness a good Americano delivers.
Like I said, the people here are very friendly and sincere, and I can see why they are so well liked by the locals.

This is our go-​to coffee shop. Their rotating selection of brewed coffee always has at least one or two that’s to die for. (Vanilla Bean Supreme being my #1 choice).
What stands out is the way they do iced coffee — yes, like the rest, they start with some cold brewed espresso over ice, but they only fill your cup halfway. Then you get to choose from the hot brews yourself, so you don’t have to miss out on the flavors. (Of course there is a wall full of Torani syrups if you want to go that way).
They also sell the beans that they brew, too. Along the wall are a few dozen jars of coffee beans to choose from — take them home whole or have them ground up for you.
Lots of teas to choose from (Stash) for hot or iced.
They have a nice selection of pastries from local bakeries on the counter and in the refrigerated section. If you want something hot, Bob will make you bagel sandwich with all the care of a master chef.
The ambiance is that of an old-​timey drugstore… not quite a malt shop, but a laid-​back vibe that extends outside to Seth’s Chop Shop.
Slow down, have a seat, take a load off. If you want your coffee quick and impersonal, Sbux is right down the street.
