Mugs on Main&nbsp;<em>(33 E. Main St., Riverhead, 631-381-0494)<\/em>&nbsp;is the kind of happy hub every neighborhood should have. Local art cycles through the shop\u2019s walls and Jeff\u2019s mother\u2019s paintings fill the back portion of the space. The Schaeffers have curated a certain Central Perk meets craft espresso cocktail feel at the Main Street spot, with leather couches and a long list of signature lattes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-vibe\">The Vibe&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining classic and eclectic coffee shop vibes, Mugs is at once a caffeine-fueled study center, first-date locale and delicious drop-in to fuel an otherwise trying day. It\u2019s impossible to wear a frown here thanks to the bright decor, colorfully written blackboard menus and string lights that add a cozy feel all four seasons. There\u2019s varying drop-in community fun on the roster each week, too, like open mic night, trivia and bingo, plus Friday ladies\u2019 night special deals and a daily happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-food\">The Food<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Morning bites, with lots of eggs, bacon, handheld selections and sides, are served from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come midmorning, more lunch-centric options become available, including sandwiches and flatbreads. Sweets are in store as well, plus a long lineup of coffees, teas, espresso drinks and refreshers, many sporting fun seasonal titles with the option for add-ons like the shop\u2019s homemade syrups for an extra-flavorful punch. Many of the pastries, desserts and snacks are sourced from local vendors, but much of what\u2019s served is created in the kitchen just left of the coffee bar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Croissant Sandwich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/timesreview-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/MugsOnMain_DHY_6479-684x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A pastry-rific twist on a Long Island staple, the buttery croissant wonderfully complements the crispy bacon and smooth fried egg.
