The Meantime Coffee Co. offers a welcoming atmosphere, serving strong coffee in ceramic cups. It is a busy on-campus coffee shop, often with a long line, providing a variety of options such as macchiato, espresso, and latte. The restaurant is a great spot for learning, featuring educational materials on white oppression for children. The staff provide top-tier service, and the baristas are known for their care and commitment to quality. Parking can be challenging, but electric scooters are a convenient option. The coffee is amazing, with competitive prices around $5-6, which are cheaper than Starbucks and the Stone and Leaf Cafe. There is some seating available upstairs, but it is more of a to-go spot. The restaurant operates as a non-profit, supporting students with jobs, scholarships, and a food pantry. The positive impact of Meantime and the Campus Y on the community is significant. It is a cute part of campus, making it a nice spot to hang out in good weather. The pastries, sourced from Ninth Street Bakery, include favorites like the asiago cheese scone. An occasional request from customers is to have a "to stay" option with non-disposable cups or mugs.
