Good atmosphere and lots of tables so you can usually get a spot to rest. Close to campus, so you'll find many students taking a break between classes, or studying any hour of the day or night. They host live music at times. They sell fair-trade coffee, rockin' hot chocolate, and other fruit drinks I can't remember the name of. I don't drink coffee, so I can't vouch for the flavor but my smart friends enjoy it. It opened my first year at the university, in 1987, and was too new and sterile - it's aged nicely.
