Place frequented by students. Highly recommended. Used to come here all the time.

Rating is based on reported hours and access. It appears that the coffee shop is within the student center and not open to the public or not open on weekends. Was not able to get in on a Saturday.

Amazing service and even better coffee! I had a long layover and popped in for a spell (yes pun intended) and was able to work for a few hours in a beautiful building. Not really understanding all these 1 star reviews, this place is amazing!

Absolutely gorgeous area to study in, get a coffee, and take a stroll in during spring, fall, and summer.

The coffee was not good—they were even out of espresso, which is hard to understand for a coffee spot. On top of that, they abruptly announced an early closing with a rude “everyone get out.” It might be convenient if you’re a student, but it’s definitely not geared toward the general public. Wi-Fi is only available to students or if you happen to know someone who can create a guest account for you.

We had to stop by while we were in the area. I was worried it wouldn’t be accessible due to the age of the building and architecture. There was no need to worry at all. There are multiple elevators and I was able to access it with no problems! The accessible entrance is on 57th st. And I did have to follow signs to get from one elevator to the next, but it was pretty easy. This would also be VERY accessible to electric chairs. The only tight squeeze would probably be around lounge chairs by the top of the stairwell, but honestly, it’s pretty doable. I didn’t stay to hang out, so I’m not sure how easily my chair would fit under the tables, and I didn’t use the restroom there. But I’m very happy I was able to see the inside of this gorgeous campus from my wheelchair.

Can get crowded, but is worth it for the novelty/ambience. Coffee shop has a nice selection of baked goods and is reasonably priced. The wifi uses campusconnect, which may be compatible for students of other campuses. There are some electrical outlets too.

Beautiful architecture inside and outside. Gets a little busy during school days. Food and drinks are great. The atmosphere is relaxing and great for reading, studying, or just having a good conversation.

Atmosphere is awesome but you’re in the college and on the campus, majority student operated.

First of all it doesn't look like this it's literally just a room where they can have two pool tables and a bunch of kids that view you're looking for is downstairs where there's no coffee also, every time I go into this place they have about 20-year-olds working there and they are the worst customer service you can tell they've never ever been taught those skills in their life the gen Z honestly most the places on this campus are ran by 20-year-olds so it's a no with no worth ethic

***NOT OPEN DURING INTER TERMS OR SUMMER QUARTER.*** No A/C so folks would die, basically, if they were open.
