nice cup of coffee to start off
the day. It is set in the Wies-

the middle of the
campus; a
perfect spot
for those who
don’t feel like
walking all that
much (unless.of
course you live in
the Penn Gates).
The Café Java does
not only serve coffee,
but also a variety of
drinks and goodies like milk-
shakes, espressos, smoothies,
cookies, huge rice krispies
treats, and more.
The type of coffee they
brew comes from Peet’s
Coffee & Tea. In 1966, Alfred
Peet opened his first coffee
and tea store with an unwaver-

commitment to artisan crafts-

volunteers are heroes for taking
on the difficult task of racing the
clock to help a family in need
built a better life. The show will
air at 8 p.m. on Sunday, January
17.
Peet’s starts with the
highest quality Arabica beans
from the best growing regions
throughout the world. Peet’s
careful selection process guar-
antees that the coffees they
roast will bring you the best
flavor possible. Their unique
deep-roasting method gives
our coffees at Café Java a
complex flavor. Their roasters
are highly skilled artisans—
they make a ten year commit-
ment to learning their craft.
Café Java’s hours are
from Monday to Friday from
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and
7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. from
Monday to Thursday.
The drink prices vary
from $1.59 to $3.99 depending
on what kind of drink and size
one chooses. As students, you
also get a 10% discount with
the total amount you are
charged.
Sophomore Alejandra
Santamaria says, “I love their
vanilla latte and the new
smoothies with tea and the
strawberry banana is really
good. And I like the service
because Patty [Yi] and Sara
[Knaub] are really nice. I
like the environment and I
love the smell of coffee
every single morning, so it’s
kind of comfy.” Freshman
mons
says
that,
“the
drinks and
baked goods -
are delicious.”
Also, Freshmen Emilynelle
Manotti states “that al] the
coffee that they sell makes you
have an addiction and the peo-
ple who work there are very
polite.”
Yi says, “Café Java rocks
my socks. I’ve had several
jobs and this is my favorite.
This is the job of all jobs. The
hours are flexible and it basi-
cally fits into your schedule
perfectly.”
The Café Java has the
ability to cater to all people
even if you don’t drink coffee.
They do sometimes serve
brownies, blueberry muffins,
and other pastries and you can
always get a nice, cold milk-
shake with that.
