The snack of choice at Mug @ Wirt is the "Brownie-Carma Collision". For $3.50 you can get a huge pile of pure goodness.
It's a mix of a whole brownie, few shots of caramel, and milk. Blended with ice, and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. This is very highly recommended. This writer gives it an 8 out of 10 (There is always room for improvement).
While you are there don't forget to try the Mystic Monk Coffee. The Monk @ Wirt is the only place in Bay City that carries this kind of coffee -- Roasted by monks in Wyoming -- This coffee is very organic.
"I like the coffee. I get the decaf made by Mystic Monk"
-Bob Adamczyk
In the words of most coffee shop patrons, "The atmosphere is calming, the people are nice, and the food is great."
Looking for a great cup of coffee . . . Alex Johnston says, "Be sure to stop in for a visit and try the Brownie-Carma Collision. It will not disappoint."
