    Tasty espresso and all day breakfast at student prices. Also great wifi and plenty of seating. What's not to like?!

    Definitely a food destination as well as a coffee shop, and when you're holed up working for hours, there's really nothing better than that. They're also on Pirq so you can snatch up a great deal!

    Opened until 1am on Sundays. Very useful when you need to get an assignment sent to one of your professors and you don't have Internet service at the house.

    Good espresso, great cakes and pastries, reliable food menu for quick meals. Nice place to sit, but quite noisy.

    If you're having trouble finding it: The WiFi password can be found taped to the counter by the barista station underneath the napkins.

    The paninis are fantastic. The fries that go with them are very good as well.

    No substitutions on food and bitchy servers make this a no win. Go to elsewhere.
