Good food for a reasonable dollar. People are always nice and give out the leftovers at the end of the day. Nice place to grab and coffee and do work as well.

Should we put a tea bag in the hot water cup or it has to be done by the barista?I always get my tea ready to drink. Not a big deal but I believe that’s the norm.They said they don’t do it anymore!

I asked for chai tea latte and ask for no sugar, then the stuff asked me do you like vanilla or spice or regular, I don't know that vanilla contains sugar and said vanilla. I thought I was vary clear that I don't want sugar and it's the stuff's response to tell me there's sugar in the vanilla version after I said I want no sugar.

Pretty expensive but it has better options than the previous library's coffee stand

It's a good spot for a quick drink if you're in the library. Summit Cafe is located on Mountainside of the building, which is the newest addition. It's near the Courtyard entrance. The interior is nice and modern. There's a couple of long tables, square tables, and high tables inside. It's usually full, but there should a couple of seats open. There's usually never a line to order, but it can happen. They serve a range of expressos, gourmet beverages, ice-blended drinks, and "artisan sandwiches". The coffee is relatively cheap, singe to triple shots. The ice-blended drinks are pricey, but on par with the any other coffee chain. The sandwiches, however, are very overpriced. I got a chicken parmesan for $6.50, and the tri tip Philly cheese steak is almost $8. They weren't too great. There's a Subway in the Arbor across from the library if you want a sandwich at a lower price. You can also pick other drinks like Gatorade or Naked Juice. Service was good, the workers were very nice.

This is a "recently" opened cafe that is mountainside of the library. It's actually pretty quiet and it's well kept as well. No trash on the floors and everything looks to be wiped down. What I love most about this place is the prices are actually competitive of other Café. A triple shot latte will actually run you less here than at Starbucks. They're open Monday through Friday and they replaced the old Study Bean cafe. I've only tried their White Chocolate Mocha triple shot both cold and hot. I think they cater a bit too much sugary coffee drinkers because it felt like I was gulping down sugar. Kudos for them for offering so much sugar at a discounted price but I personally had trouble finishing my drinks. I will definitely be back though but I will just ask for half the amount of syrups. The service was quick and courteous.

Ordered a latte, took them over 20 minutes to get it to me. Incompetence at its finest.
