Ed's make an excellent chai tea latte and custom does a very good breakfast sandwich. A great way to start the day.

It's nice for a college coffee shop and pretty well priced. In my opinion, the drinks are a little sugary, but they are still delicious. If you don't like a lot of sugar, I recommend getting a small drink.

Like a college Starbucks staff is friendly, cold coffee mixes are amazing.

I ate at this cafe when I visited the Kress Inn. It was located on the college campus and thankfully we're open to get me out of the cold. I could tell that students and teaching staff enjoyed the place because everyone looked like repeat customers
