This is one of my go-to coffee places. It's very convenient to get to if you're in the school of Engineering. They have a wide assortment of coffee, pasteries, and other goodies. The prices aren't too bad and the coffee is pretty good.

Outdoor seating area with some sandwiches and coffee for sale. They also have some drinks and smoothies and bottled juices/soda available amongst other snacks you'd be able to find at a liquor store. Very convenient area to hang out between classes

Very convenient. Located near my classes, so I don't have to walk far. I go here to get lunch. (I don't drink coffee at all.) For less than $10, I can get a decent pre-made sandwich, a cheese stick, and a bottle of juice! It's not much more to get chips instead of a cheese stick. Nice variety of snacks, too!

Fast and friendly service, never had to wait long in line. I've only ever gotten their coffee (which isn't the most amazing but it does the job just fine) but I've heard their other drinks are good, too.
