"The Lavender Matcha I had was very sweet but delicious, well mixed, and had the most delicate foam. Highly recommended if you like a sweet matcha drink"

"CASH only! MENU: Great coffee--I believe the least expensive on campus--and some yummy premade meals. Coffee - 8oz = $1 I like the LSD blend. CAFE: The place is pretty small but usually packed with people. It's located in the basement of Swift, so it is also rather dark. Honestly, the vibe makes me feel like I'm in a wood laden tavern in Europe... which I love. However, the darkness is not conducive for my studying; so, I usually grab a coffee and bounce. LOCATION: When you walk into Swift, you walk in a diagonal to the left. You will see an opening to a stairwell. You descend the stairs and then turn to the left and descend a few more. It's straight ahead. There is also an elevator to the basement; when you enter Swift it's on the right. SERVICE: I've found the staff is usually in good spirits and friendly. However, every now and again, you get someone who doesn't seem to be having a good day. It happens to all of us."

"I think it’s the best coffee in hyde park! love the drink quality and the lunches are great Remember to bring cash!"

"Definitely the best coffee place on campus. And if you bring your own mug, they let you refill for a dollar. Also, they have food from a variety of restaurants around Hydepark. The price is pretty reasonable compared to other places around campus. They only take cash though which is inconvenient sometimes."

"A great student-run local coffee shop! They have an array of food, but the selection has been the same for many years, would be nice to change it up a bit. Payment is cash-only, which I can totally understand, but sometimes it does mean I have to make a different decision. The coffee is great! Lastly, it's often quite crowded so tough to get a spot to sit"
