    My favourite coffee shop on campus. Haven't actually had the coffee, but they have the largest tea selection around and their food selection is wonderful—I particularly love the vegan chocolate chip cookies, and they also have lots of dishes from De Rice, Snail Thai, Soul Vegan, Rajun Cajun, The Nile, etc. Sometimes their music gets a little loud and confusing but most of the time I really enjoy every song.

    We held a non profit board meeting here, and it worked out very well. We drank a truly ludicrous amount of coffee! Great art, great atmosphere, great looking cheese plate (can't comment on the taste as I'm a vegan). Will definitely go back next time I'm in Chicago!

    Convenient, chill coffee shop. Offers ready made food. Coffee options are limited, but the coffee shop offers other options like pizza and a big selection of drinks.

    They also serve the best-tasting substantial snacks and meals that complement the best-tasting coffees. This coffee shop is definitely my next caffeine fix.

    Great music, sometimes coffee and food are also great. Not great lighting. I wouldn't come here to do homework. I would come here if had to. I would probably come if I didn't have to.

    they always have an interesting choice for music, and big enough to always find a seat

    Edgy campus dive with excellent attentive music playing all the time.

    A mainstay of undergraduate culture and norm aversion and derision. Gas station chic.

    Music was horrible and loud. Food was good.
