my favorite of the espresso locations by far. and i have my sanskrit teacher to thank, who purposefully holds her office hours here to fuel the buzz. this is perhaps the only coffeeshop on campus where i can get a good study groove going, poring over vowel and consonant noun declensions over a $2 pot of english breakfast tea with a skoch of hot milk and honey. the coffee is good too, you can tell the staff here actually cares about the way they brew their coffee, unlike other locations!!
i also enjoy the loft space up the precarious stairs - dimlit, lumpy couches, awkward bathrooms. win win!
