Hi -- I used to work as a barista, and if you say you're staying, and still get a to-go cup, don't walk out! Just ask for a mug. If you're giving tons of cups, things start to get automatic, so it can be helpful to just speak up. :)

Bringing your own mug is fine too -- I can't see that anyone would have a problem with it.

The only thing I didn't like was when people brought in grody mugs: rinsing out a mug is one thing, but if soap was needed, then it really should have been done at home.

Also, if you have to get a to-go cup, you can get the reusable jackets (I think they're called coffee cozys, and you can find them on Etsy.com.) :)
