What People Are Saying
from Google"Had a tiramisu iced latte. Good seasonal drink. Solid service. Make sure to beat the rush of the college students when going! If I waited 30 minutes later when classes got out, the line was out the door. Solid place, solid coffee. Pretty efficient."

"The place has a cool vibe, friendly staff and great hangout space. I really wanted this new place to also have great coffee, but it was horrible and barely warm. The coffee is push-button machine made so no barista expertise involved. Worse than a Starbucks at New York prices. The also require pre-tip."
"My favorite coffee shop on campus and around town!"
