The baristas here are always friendly, and the apple fritters are a must try. I would definitely recommend this place over the Starbucks across the street if you want to have a relaxed place to sip on your cup of joe. The Purple Penguin has many cosy booths with wide tables, so it makes for an incredible studying spot. It can get a little busy on weekends, so I'd recommend coming during weekdays when it's quieter. The booths also give some privacy for conversations with friends. The coffee tends to be a little acidic but I know a lot of people that love it, and make sure to get a large because the sizes are a little small.
