This business is a labor of love, explaining why I LOOOOVE IT. So much thought has been invested into everything from the drinks and food (some of it is prepared on-site, others outsourced) to the decor and furnishings. It's so NYC or SF. Friendly staff seems lonely on the weekends, but I hear the crowds can't stay away during the week. Show 'em some love... because the music as well as the selection of magazines is awwwesome!

You might miss it if you didn't know it was there from this entry. But it has another entry with the sheltered outdoor seating (it does get cold and snowy here), and plenty of indoor as well. I had a grande caramel macchiato that tasted as delicious as any other I've had in the world. The only thing I'm missing is an international Gold Card! Well recommended. I will return anytime visiting the University.

Decent cocktails, though some confusion sometimes (got a mojito when asking for mai tai and they would not recognise their error). Pretty cool open plan decor inside.
