A Magical Work-From-Home Mama Escape: The Coffee Mugg in Corpus Christi
As soon as I got my son settled into school here in Corpus, I did what any work-from-home mama on a mission does: went straight to Google Maps in search of the perfect local coffee shop to work from. Not just any shop though—somewhere with character, comfort, strong coffee, and good Wi-Fi. That’s when I stumbled upon The Coffee Mugg, a Harry Potter-themed gem tucked right here in Corpus Christi.
Now, full transparency: I’ve never read a Harry Potter book, and I might’ve only caught one or two movies as a kid. But that witchy, magical aesthetic? Always been my vibe.
From the moment I walked in, I was hooked. The decor feels like a portal to another world—dim lighting, whimsical touches, spellbinding wall art, and a curated playlist that sets the tone without distracting from your thoughts. The menu? Completely themed and super clever. Every drink is named after a character or spell from the Harry Potter universe.
I’ve made it a fun little ritual: every time I order a drink I like, I google the character it’s named after. (Is this how I accidentally become a Potterhead at 30-something? Maybe.) I think I’ve been resonating with the Slytherin energy? Oh no... haha.
What makes this spot even more special is the woman behind the magic—a fellow mompreneur who built this unique space from the ground up. As a business owner myself, I’m always down to support women doing dope things, especially mamas balancing work, kids, and creative vision.
Whether you're in need of a change of scenery, a cozy place to crank out your to-do list, or just want to sip something fun and different—this place is it. The Wi-Fi is fast, the seating is comfy, and the overall vibe is chill and welcoming. It’s like a little escape into a magical realm without leaving town.
✨ Tips for Work-From-Home Mamas in Corpus Christi:
Look for local gems like this one when you need a break from your four walls. Big-name coffee shops are fine, but local spots offer soul, connection, and often—better drinks.
Build little rituals into your workday—like trying a new drink each week or picking one afternoon to work away from home. It helps break up the monotony.
Support other moms. There’s something beautiful about women supporting women, especially when we’re all building and balancing so much.
Follow the magic. If a space makes you feel cozy, inspired, or just gives you five minutes of peace—it’s worth coming back to.
