| - To be honest, after stopping by Pikolo numerous times during the summer and sometimes during the fall semester for a quick caffeine boost, I still fail to see the hype surrounding this place. Sure, it does have coffee and tea beverages within close proximity to campus, but it's nothing to rave about. They do use 49th Parallel coffee though, which I find to be a bit too acidic for my liking, so maybe that's the case.
This time, I ordered the mocha and a cranberry banana muffin, and, as said before, I found the mocha quite acidic. In addition, I felt as though the chocolate flavor didn't really come through and as a result was missing. Also, as a coffee shop muffin aficionado, I found Pikolo's to be a bit on the drier side, and the flavors of the fruit components seemed to be quite muted in comparison with other muffins I've had.
Overall, I'll probably just stick to Nocturne (previously Kitsuné) to get my daily coffee fix. Also, they have a rotating selection of muffins on the daily which cater to specific diets, but they're universally delicious! I just might be spoiled too much by coffee shops more deep into the Plateau, I guess...
