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.

Paige Gilmore - Mugsy Founder

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.
