I came here hoping to avoid the usual fight for tables at J&B and the library. While it wasn't busy…read morewhen I was there, the wifi was even slower than J&B during midterms week. I had to use my cellular phone's connection to write this. Decent wi-if is literally the only thing I truly need in a study spot. It's a shame nobody working here has tried to fix this. This place has potential with its ambiance and proximity to Tech. An Art Gallery/Recording Studio sounds cute on paper, but TTU students will ultimately cause this business to make it or fail. I was initially happy that I didn't see a lot of people when I walked in, but now I feel like I understand why.

Recently went to visit Studio 19 after hearing about the concept. It is a coffee shop that also has…read morea recording studio. You can rent rooms out to record for a certain amount of time at a set price. This review is about the coffee shop portion...not the studio part of the concept. The overall concept seems pretty cool at first, but the execution of the coffee shop portion is poorly done. The manager, from what I can tell, was telling the employees loudly in front of guests (all 4) how mad the owner is going to be on Monday and telling them to "be on their toes". Extremely unprofessional, should've been taken care of in the back...as for the place itself, its set up with art that can be bought throughout the entire coffee shop, which is neat but also means the seating is limited since they are trying to drive customers eyes to the walls of art to buy. All the tables in the store are not flat for getting actual writing done, but instead some sort of stucco art design that make for a poor surface to be productive on. The coffee overall was good, which is important for a COFFEE shop.I had a "Sticky Wicked" and it was pretty awesome actually. But the wifi is so slow for a coffee house not even 6 blocks away from a large research university I ended up having to leave to go to Starbucks to actually load web pages to do homework. The overall experience was poor and I found the place itself doesn't know what it is; art gallery? coffee shop? recording studio? I wanted to like this place, as a new place to study and somewhere to support other than Starbucks. But the experience was so poor I really wouldn't recommend going, at least not for now. I think it is a missed opportunity with so many college students always looking for a place to study and meet up. The overall vibe doesn't seem to be catering to college students as much as some sort of other customer base that I'm not entirely sure Lubbock has. Best to fight for a table at JB or the usual Starbucks.
