all about mugsy & me
Hiya, I’m Paige Gilmore, founder of Mugsy Coffee and also the creator of Stripes & Willows a food and lifestyle community followed by thousands of home cooks who trust my recipes and kitchen recommendations.
Why I created mugsy
After years of recipe testing and taste-testing countless coffee brands, I noticed a recurring problem: most beans sold online had already been sitting in warehouses for weeks before reaching your cup. By the time you brewed them, the freshness was gone.
I wanted better. So I created Mugsy Coffee, roasted fresh to order, shipped free in the USA, and delivered at peak flavor.

A Small Brand with Big Love
Mugsy isn’t run by a faceless corporation. It’s built with the same care I put into every recipe at Stripes & Willows - small-batch, honest, and crafted to bring you joy in your kitchen.
Thanks for supporting a founder-led brand. I can’t wait for you to taste the difference.
