Quick info
About The ugly mug cafe
On Beaufort Square in Chepstow, The Ugly Mug Cafe is a breakfast-focused cafe with a 47-item menu and no reservations needed. Sizes range from The Small One up through The Large One and The Mega One, alongside The Veggie One, The Vegan One, and porridge for a lighter option. The full English comes with butchers sausages and black pudding, and a gluten-free bread option is available. Outdoor seating suits those eating with dogs, which are welcome on the premises, and high chairs make the space workable for families with young children. Food is also available to take away for eating off site. The cafe opens daily through the daytime only. It sits a little set back from the main road rather than directly on it. A Biscoff iced coffee is on the drinks list alongside the cooked breakfasts.

Customer Review Summary
Eggs Royale is the dish reviewers return to most, with one calling it one of the best they have had and another praising a lovely version on gluten-free bread. Close behind are the cooked breakfasts: a full English whose ingredients impressed one diner, fresh meat and tasty black pudding, and butchers sausages. Even the small breakfast is described as large, and one reviewer mentions a mega breakfast. Berry pancakes with cream and honey and a Biscoff iced coffee also draw praise, and coffees are called hot and full of flavour. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as friendly, and several note the clean toilets and the light, airy room, with one enjoying breakfast outside. The one caveat is cost, as one reviewer found a breakfast with a hot drink on the pricey side but did not mind because the ingredients were fresh. Another reviewer said a few cakes looked so good that they would return to try them after finishing a full breakfast.

“Fantastic food and lovely coffee. The eggs royale is to die for, definitely one of the best I’ve ever had! Partners breakfast was brilliant too, all the meat was very fresh and the black pudding is the tastiest we have ever tried! Lovely …”

“Excellent café. The berry pancakes were just what I required, with a perfect balance of cream, honey, and berries. My partner enjoyed a full English breakfast and was impressed by the quality and preparation of all the ingredients, which is quite uncommon for fry-ups elsewhere.”
