What recent reviewers mention most:
Friendly staffCoffee
A cozy, aesthetic spot right in the heart of the university. The staff were super friendly, the chicken sandwich and vanilla purple latte were delicious and winding down the evening with a beer felt just right.
avoid this place, the worst dinning place on campus! On the other hand, beer is nice
Ordered an açai and it was horrible do not recommend. 7.50 for dried bananas and peanut butter with loads of hard rock chunks, and the açai was thin and tastes awful. Could not finish it.
