    Cozy little spot with good coffee & a handful of beers, vinyl, used books, and board games. Younger, North Campus crowd.

    Old-school coffee-shop vibe: couches, books, separate quiet study room, Wi-Fi. Good coffee too!

    The Stoudt's Triple is cool. It's NY cheap at 4.50 and they have several interesting yet cheaper.

    Take cash. They (understandably) up-charge small purchases. They don't have a lot of food to pad the bill, although they do have books and vinyl for sell -- so that's always an option.
