What People Are Saying
from Google"Compared to the coffee at other locations on campus, the taste is worse and the amount you get for the same prices is smaller."
"For a coffee shop on a college campus, they sure have a strange atmosphere. The music has to play as LOUD as physically possible it seems every single time I've been in. Even noise canceling headphones won't save you from the blasting of old music so loud you can't think, much less sit down and do any sort of studying. Trust me, I've tried. Food and service are good, but dont actually sit down and study here. You just won't be productive."
"One of the best places on campus! I'm a bit biased...given I worked here for almost four years... But I loved it! Great pastries, coffee, and food. Good atmosphere, with multiple choices for seating (stools at the bar, booths in the front room, booths and tables in the side room that tends to be a bit quieter and attracts people studying). A campus necessity."
"Some decent coffee with a wide selection of options. The drinks are a bit overpriced (about the same or less than Starbucks) and some decent baked goods. But it's the atmosphere that is 5-stars here. The central area is fun and lively with a great 90's/early 2000's rock playlist, the great and funny staff serving coffee and are willing to help in any way, and the side room is quiet and a great place to study or have a meeting with a professor. Also, the bathrooms are definitely the best on campus. Seriously."
"It has a nice relaxed seating area off to the side. Haven't tried the coffee or pastries yet, but if you want a smoothie, go to west end. However, their milkshakes are decent."
