This is your average coffee experience on campus. The oversized chairs and being connected to a campus convenience store makes this campus coffee shop stand out.However, they recently added nitro cold be to their menu. It comes in a super small cup, and thats the only size the sell it in for like $4! Very disappointed.

Nice place to get coffee in the the morning. They also have an assortment of foods you can get. I usually get a bagel. They also have fantastic hot chocolate, and really good cinnamon twists. Its a good place to grab a bite with your friends, or to study.

The coffee is good, not great, but the staff are always fast and friendly. They handle a huge amount of students between classes especially and Im always impressed by how fast they get stuff out. Prices are inflated if you dont have a campus dining plan, so if you are just visiting and looking for a cup I would advise going off campus if you have the time. That said, the prices arent terrible, so if it doesnt bother you I wouldnt worry.

Cozy on-campus coffee shop connected to a convenience store. Good meeting spot for 2 people but can get crowded.

Almost everything is pretty expensive and it doesnt have as wide of a selection as I thought it would. Saying that its the best place for groceries/dorm necessities thats close by

Cozy atmosphere for studying or catching up with friends. Direct trade coffeehouse​ offering light food options.

Good coffee shop but on regular days, its always crowded which means people trying to get coffee before their classes have to get there early

Definitely a great place to go for coffee, small baked goods, and Wi-Fi. Fantastic coffee, good service as well. They were out of large mugs, so they gave me a small mug and gave a free top-up after I drank about half. Maybe a little expensive, but typical prices for an artisanal coffee place.

Coffee is fine, a little better than other campus locations. But it took 37 minutes for a drip coffee. I get that there is a large volume of orders from Grubhub and its not the employees fault. But the system is unacceptable when a walk-in customer has to wait nearly forty minutes for someone to fill a cup of pre-brewed coffee. There needs to be a system for walk-in orders to be prioritized and/or simple orders like a drip coffee to be quickly served instead of being put behind more complex orders with food.
