Take Starbucks, lower the prices, throw some antique-yellow paint on the walls and you have got yourself another cozy place to perk up. It is nice to know that you can still get a Double Cappuccino for less than three bucks in this country, but the difference between this campus coffee house and its corporate competitor boils down to a few 1970s-style lime-green love seats. The coffee maintains a pleasing, medium strength. There are lots of fruit and energy drinks to choose from. The stone floor is polished and so clean you could eat off it. The ever-popular Longhorn Po-Boys and Falafel shares rent space with this java house, creating two stores in one. This place opens from Monday to Friday at 7.30 pm and from Saturday to Sunday at 8.30am.
