What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Great college campus coffee shop. Their vegan chai cookies are my personal favorite, but the Buzz Bars are a campus-wide phenomenon. Drinks and snacks are reasonably priced, and they finally started accepting credit cards, making it 1,000 times easier for non-students like me to pay."
"A good little place to study late at night on the Willamette university campus. It's usually fairly busy, but I've never had a problem finding a seat. The food and drinks are good. The inky caution I have is that depending on the counter person working that night, the music may be loud and/or not appropriate for a public business."
"It's rare that my girlfriend gets a delicious Soy Chai Latte. This place passed her test. Also, $1 for giant cookies, and $5 lunches? YES!"
"It was so quaint, and it was awesome that it's a student ran facility. personally I liked the ice coffee and the matcha tea and the cookies there are really good too.~"
