Spicy chorizo, Monterrey Jack, and egg
Ryan L.

Located on campus so its a great place to stop by before you pull an all-nighter at Orbach. It's also built in the same building as Scotty's which is a convenient store + fast food/cafeteria place. There's parking across from this store which is located in the same parking lot as Lothian. I think it's great that there is an extra coffee spot in addition to the coffee bean on campus. I prefer Starbucks (I have no idea why...marketing?). There are often a lot of students that come here to study and socialize so it can be packed sometimes. The line can also be very long at sometimes so time it right or else you could be waiting 10 minutes more for that pumpkin spice latte.

Top cup is the regular foam amount.  Bottom cup is remake. Still foam.

Updated Review: honestly the people working during the covid pandemic are the nicest people I've ever met. I probably went there more than what I usually do during non-covid times. The employees are able to get to know the customers since there isn't a lot of people living on campus. They even memorized my order. Keep up the good work! I would give this place a 5 star rating, but I got to take a point down from my past experience precovid. Images are also from last reviews.

4 stars for a normal Starbucks goer, 3 stars for those gold members who study at Starbucks.

I have been here three times now and every time it has been a great experience…read more 1. Staff is kind, patient and helpful. We had our boys with us for one of the visits and it took a bit for them to decide what they wanted, but staff was very helpful in explaining the menu and helping everyone decide. 2. The space is comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. The cushioned seating against the walls makes you feel like you're enjoying your coffee and treats in a someone's living room. The music also adds to the immersive cultural experience. I love the trays that they use to serve the food and coffee, they are a beautiful detail. 3. The coffee and food is exceptional. My favorite has been the Qamaria Latte, my sister loved her pistachio latte (they use real pistachios to create a pistachio paste to use in the latte). I have tried the honeycomb (so good, my boys loved this one), pistachio cheesecake (well balanced and light for a cheesecake it doesn't leave your stomach feeling like you ate something extra rich), pistachio milk cake (perfect!) and others. It can get a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients and food makes it worth it, especially if it's just one or two people. I probably won't take all three of my boys next time but maybe for a fun outing with one of them.

Although I arrived a little late, the…read morestaff was kind enough to accommodate me and have someone walk me through the tasting process. They explained what to look for, the different flavor notes, and where each coffee originated. I really appreciated how informative and welcoming they were! Now, here's where I had a little identity crisis. I've always considered myself a coffee lover, but after tasting coffee without cream, sugar, or flavored syrups, I started questioning everything! Do I actually love coffee, or do I just love cream and sugar with a little coffee mixed in? Apparently, there's a reason I've always been a latte girl! All jokes aside, I genuinely enjoyed the experience and learning more about coffee, even if my taste buds weren't quite prepared for the bitterness. I'm not sure I'd do another black coffee tasting, but I'm glad I tried it! As for Arcade itself, I absolutely love this location! The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, the beautiful atmosphere, and being able to see the roasting equipment right behind you make the space feel so special. I also really enjoy their regular menu. This experience certainly hasn't scared me away from coffee. I've just learned that my coffee and I have a much better relationship when cream and a little sweetness are involved! I'll definitely be back!

I hate when a coffee shop I love engages in shady business practices by not posting their prices on…read moretheir menu. Please be transparent with your customers! You are such a good coffee shop with reasonable prices considering the consistent quality of your drinks and yet you're shady. Only the pastry items are posted for some reason but none of the drink items or other food items have prices posted next to them. Should I ask the barista what the price of every item on the menu is and write it down on the menu myself? If the line is long and you want to know how much an item is you can't! You will just have to go in line and waste your time if you don't get the item after all. In what world is that normal or reasonable. I hate it here. (capitalism not the ambiance of the coffee shop, it really is quite lovely) Also different rant on the drink I ordered today. IF YOU OFFER A CINNAMON ROLL LATTE THEN D O N ' T MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE TOPPING AN EXTRA CHARGE. Have you ever seen a cinnamon roll in the wild being priced that way? Whoever came up with that you're wicked and evil. I hope you never have a good cinnamon roll ever again, unless!* your heart suddenly grows three sizes and you take it all back and post your prices like a normal business and don't price things stupid. BTW You could have literally done a snickerdoodle cookie latte and then you don't have to charge someone for a creamy topper that should be included in the price of the drink. Yk if you wanted to maintain the cinnamon essence of the drink.

Because of the high ratings and frequent reviews, I decided to come here to try their boba and popcorn chicken. I had come in and ordered their honeydew milk tea with boba and an order of their popcorn chicken on a kiosk near the front door. I decided to take a seat on their sofa and saw many people sitting around, relaxing. I can see how busy it could get, especially when school starts in the next few weeks. After about five minutes, my boba had come out. The popcorn chicken took about fifteen minutes. I was very disappointed with both of my items. Their popcorn chicken, although it was crunchy, it lacked any flavor or seasoning. I couldn't taste pepper or salt, either! I had to douse it in sweet and sour sauce. As for my honeydew milk tea with boba, it was very sweet and you can taste the honeydew flavors, but the boba had absolutely no flavor to it. It was also extremely chewy, like chewing gum. I was quite disappointed in my food and drink, and had tossed both halfway through. I understand why college students frequent this place due to the pricing and quickness, but it's not for me.

The space is warm, interesting and inviting. I love the mosaic tables and the distressed wood that is used throughout. The music adds to the calming/comfortable vibe. There are so many interesting spaces that honor the culture and with items to buy that support local vendors. The live plants are such a cool touch. They even have a little space with activities for the kids and family that can be used. The family next to us was playing Jumbo Uno while they enjoyed their food. 3. The coffee and pastries were so good! You can tell they don't cut corners, everything was high quality. I got the Spanish Latte and the guava pastry and my husband got the Fall into Latte and the cheese danish. The foam was perfect, the flavors were well balanced in the coffee (not too sweet, perfect espresso to milk/oatmilk ratio). The pastries were flaky and not overly sweet. I could easily spend a lot of time in this space because of their attention to detail and the way they perfectly balance everything from their food and coffee to the music and decor. I will definitely be back. I'm excited to try some of the other things on their menu!
