I'm a new employee at Central Michigan University and will be working in the Health Professions (HP) building. When I walked in for my first day, I thought to myself, "there's a coffee shop in this building." It was kind of like that Kristen Bell video where she's talking about how she can always sense if a sloth is around. It didn't even really smell a lot like coffee in the building, but I could just feel it.
After checking in for work I had a bit of a break, so I went to the first floor and wandered until I found Ponder Coffee! It's not just a coffee counter, it's a whole coffee shop/cafe with FOOD. I like coffee, but I LOVE food. I was so excited that they had breakfast sandwiches (one of my favorite foods) as well as toast, waffles, lunch sandwiches, even a small deli case.
I ordered an oat latte and a breakfast sandwich with avocado, egg, tomato, and cheese. There's a bit of seating and a really cool mural so I hung out until my order was ready. Pricing is super awesome (sandwich was $5.50 and my latte was $5.25) and my order was quick. The employees were hustling even though they had been super busy.
The latte was smooth and delicious, and the sandwich was piping hot and very tasty. I'm so excited to go back next time I'm on campus! read more
