Excellent breakfast omelette for excellent value. The couple who run the place are very kind and lovely to chat with if there’s time. Decor is a bit dated but don’t let that put you off from this hidden gem.

Classic bakery/cafe feel. I arrived at the kitchen was closing, so I grabbed a muffin which was tasty. The staff was very friendly. Would be a nice place to enjoy a long cuppa and chat with people coming and going.

Great food, quick and friendly service. Would come back again for sure. Nice little diner with typical diner breakfast options. We spent about $11/person. Ham and cheese omelette had lots of cheese and even the hash browns had a nice layer of crispy cheese.

Great local diner with one of the best breakfasts I have had in the entire Okanagan valley - and one of the most affordable too. I was day dreaming about the hashbrowns for days afterwards. The local couple that was running it were lovely and very friendly. Well worth the visit to support local business and get a great breakfast.

Mug N Muffin is my 102nd eatery here in Vernon. I have never been here before. It is interesting to note I worked one block away from this restaurant for six years, but never ate here. I ordered the veggie omelette which included hashbrowns, brown toast, and a drink for $12.02 after taxes. Good luck finding a deal like that anywhere in town. I was amazed how big the plate was and that the hashbrowns are smothered in cheese. Finally, a place in Vernon makes proper hashbrowns. All hashbrowns should include cheese. There are a lot of Montreal Canadiens memorabilia as the owner's husband is a fan of the team. The owner herself has been running this place for sixteen years. She is extremely friendly and is an excellent conversationalist. She is hilarious if she has a free moment to talk to you. Nearly all customers come here during the morning given the neighbourhood's demographic. I was here at 1:30 and was the only customer inside for the next 45 minutes. The meal was delicious and I was absolutely full. The omelette and the hashbrowns were major highlights. I appreciated the music playing too. They also offer several condiments to put on your hashbrowns, omelette, or toast. My 102nd eatery is complete, and I will be back here soon.

Really good muffins and tarts. The lady there was so nice and amazing. I could really tell she was very proud and loved the items she had baked that day. Usually there is an assortment of what she feels like baking. Its a little hard to find (or at least it was for me), and dont let the look of it deter you. Its an amazing place with a lot of soul!

Tried to go to the competition down the block today around 11:30, but the lineup was too long. We took a chance on Mug n Muffin instead, and man are we glad we did. A lovely little place with a great atmosphere run by two delightful people. Ate a delicious brunch that was served crazy fast. On the way out, what I presume was the owners (definitely the cook and server) were extra gracious. The prices were superb! We will be back every time we come to Vernon from now on, and will be recommending this business to anyone who asks. 10/10 Try it!
