    ABOUT THE SHOPS

    The first Blue Mug was founded in 2011 and we have now expanded to three locations across Greeley. The original location, in the Westlake Village shopping center, is where our fresh baked goods are made each morning and then are distributed warm to each of our other locations. Our downtown location is situated just across from Kepner hall at UNC, and is a great place for students and faculty to gather to meet a friend or study.  Our Roastery is our west Greeley location where we roast our specialty coffee in small batches.  Also, our UNC Mug and Roastery locations offer a meeting room which can be reserved at no charge. 

    ABOUT THE OWNERS

    Natives of Colorado, Art and Karla Long met and married in Boulder,  spent their early years of marriage in Greeley, then moved to Southern Colorado.  It had always been their passion to provide a warm, friendly environment in their community, so in early 2000 they bought a small coffee shop in Southern Colorado and began learning the art of coffee.  Loving the coffee business, but always eager to move back to Northern Colorado, they started looking for the perfect location to start a coffee shop in Greeley.   When news came that the Starbucks on 35th Ave. was closing they saw it as the perfect opportunity to start a new venture. They sold their coffee shop in Southern Colorado and on Labor Day of 2011 they opened their doors at the 35th Ave. location and The Blue Mug was born.
