The coffee used to be so good and i would grab it before class everyday but with the new management, it lost its charm. it's very watery and the prices also went up, which is understandable due to inflation but the quality of the coffee is very disappointing. Bring back the old coffee!! More

I often stop by here to buy a book. They have a great book selection written by diverse authors. They will order a book for you if they don't have it. Staff are usually kind and willing to help. I have to give 5 stars because I can tell the

Tasty cold brew with oat milk. **Only one outlet in the cafe area.** Nice and quiet, really cool art section on the lower floor with the best basic and intermediate art supplies for students. Easy to try out pens and markers like Gellyroll

The bookstore is wonderful and really exciting. I buy my books here and if they don't have it, they can order that for you. But the coffee shop is not as great as the bookstore! The coffee is mediocre and the service is not competitive in

Cutest little bookshop with a wonderful little cafe in the front. The minute you walk in, you are hit with the smell of coffee, books and wood. There's truly nothing better!

Good book selection, yummy croissants, and GOOD LATTES! Much better than Starbucks for sure! And if you go to Hunter, they offer student discount for books and food!

Small selection of used books and lots of new ones. Little coffee shop in the front was a nice break with some tables for reading. Decent selection for the size.
