A 24-Hour Coffee Haven by the Beach
Hug A Mug Calicut Beach is the beachside outlet of the popular Hug a Mug chain (a HiLITE venture), located near Calicut Beach at Mananchira. Open around the clock, it's a go-to for late-night coffee runs, early starts, laptop work sessions or unhurried hangouts, with a calm, spacious and modern setting and comfy sink-in sofas.
What to Order
The multi-cuisine menu draws on Italian, Mexican, American, Continental and Asian influences. Coffee is the heart of it — the signature cold coffee, cappuccino and frappe are favourites — alongside smoothies, pastries, muffins, donuts and brownies, plus heartier plates like Alfredo pasta with garlic bread, chicken steak, English breakfast and pancakes.
The Experience
A lovely touch is the in-store mini bookstore, adding to the relaxed, quiet vibe that makes it great for work or conversation. Staff are friendly and parking is available; just note prices run a little high and table service can slow down at peak times.
