One of the staples of any college student”s life is caffeine. Whether that is in the form of coffee, tea or energy drinks, caffeine is a necessity to surviving exams.
Luckily there are plenty of places to refill the caffeine gauge on campus.

Starbucks
Starbucks, located across from the Bruce Pitman Center in the Vandal Bookstore, is an easy place to meet up with friends and have some coffee. This Starbucks is similar to the one near the Palouse Mall, but closer for students who are on their way to class. Starbucks is also a bit more expensive than other options especially when it comes to frappucinos rather than simple coffee.
Nevertheless, Starbucks is a simple place to satisfy any caffeine need.
Einstein Bros Bagels
Einstein”s is known for bagels, but it also has several different coffee and tea options as well. Students can bring in their own mug, pay for a refill and try any of the three or four types of drip coffee offered. It usually offers Hazelnut coffee, regular French roast and Brazilian black roast. Like Starbucks, they also offer mochas and lattes as well as blended coffees with whip cream.
Einstein”s is a one stop shop when it comes to breakfast and caffeine.
Stover’s
If the only thing needed to get students up and going is pure, simple coffee, Stover”s is the place to go. This little café is located in the Albertson Building and is tucked away in a place that normally only business and economics students can find.
Stover”s only offers drip coffee provided by Starbucks, so it isn”t necessary to search through a list of lattes or cappuccinos. For $2, students can get a simple, hot cup of coffee without having to worry about sweeteners or chocolate or whip cream. If they bring their own mug with them, the coffee is cheaper.
While there, don”t forget to order a breakfast burrito, it goes great with a cup of coffee.
One World Cafe
One World Café is the newest addition to the campus coffee scene. It recently took over the Sisters” Brew location in the Janssen Engineering Building and can also be found in the Administration Building. One World is a café downtown that is immensely popular, so their business on campus seems to being doing well, too. For a quick stop to get a caffeine fix, One World is the right place. There is a small study table as well for students looking to do homework before or after class, but the shop isn”t tailored to hold a lot of people at any one time.
One World has lattes, cappuccinos, mochas and just about anything a coffee-holic could want.
