Good to the last drop

In this crazy college-student world, time never seems to be on our side. Everyday routines often go something like this: wake-up, study, get to class, study, go to work, study, socialize with friends, study, and if we are lucky, sleep.

For the sleep deprived, caffeine is our savior.

Coffee houses around town feed our habit and give us that ever needed ?pick-me-up? to get us through the day.

Our caffeine havens also serve us in more ways than just an energy surge. We often go to these places to study, relax and socialize.

Each coffee shop around town offers a different atmosphere and caters to different clientele.
