Blue Mug Caf is a casual counter-service restaurant featuring eclectic menu items, such as corn tortilla tacos, avocado egg rolls and watermelon delight salad. The caf serves breakfast, burgers and sandwiches, and a variety of entrees.

Blue Mug Caf also has a full bar, featuring a happy hour Monday through Friday from 3–6:30 p.m.

One of the popular specialty cocktails is the cucumber martini. Bartender and Bar Manager Richard Spearman said it is a staple drink at Blue Mug.

The martini is made with Hendrick's Gin infused with fresh cucumber and mixed with elderflower, simple syrup and lemon juice. The drink is served cold and garnished with mint and a slice of cucumber.

Spearman said the cucumber martini, which costs $10.95, is ordered about 10 to 20 times per week.

"When four girls come in, three out of the four will choose the cucumber martini," Spearman said. "It's nice and light and complements the gin very well."
