A Classmate on the Coffee Buzz
Kay P., M1
I tend to study in cafés; the list below includes some of my favorite coffee shops around town. I fell in love with Blueprint when they served their pour-overs in Erlenmeyer flasks. Northwest Coffee is my favorite place to read books and to hang out with friends. Sump is my coffee connoisseur friends’ all-time favorite coffee shop, and Rise has good food (avocado toast is my personal favorite!).
Becker Medical Library, CWE (Free!) 🔥
Free coffee, tea, and candy is available every day on the second floor of the med school’s library.
Blueprint Coffee, the Loop ($) 🔥
It’s on the Loop, near the Danforth Campus. They also have tasty pastries.
Comet Coffee, CWE ($)
Great coffee perched between the Science Center and Yoga Six’s awesome hot yoga studio.
Kaldi’s, on campus in the FLTC and the MCC, on Euclid Avenue in the CWE ($) 🔥
The FLTC location is right next to classrooms and carrels and is a popular meeting place. All locations are vegetarian friendly, and the FLTC location is fully vegetarian. The Euclid location is great for studying and has a mix of cozy/modern vibes. It’s a bit crowded during the weekend but in general, a great place to hang out with friends and get some work done!
Kayak’s, U City ($) 🔥
Study-centric coffee shop on the corner of the Danforth Campus (right off a MetroLink stop), with cozy ski lodge vibes.
Northwest Coffee, CWE ($) 🔥
A bit of a walk from the CWE - Euclid, but their excellent coffee, laid-back atmosphere, and friendly baristas make it worthwhile.
Rise Coffee, the Grove ($) 🔥
A great place to study and relax with friends. Fantastic ambiance with unique, artsy, liberal decors. Great coffee and food.
Sump Coffee, Benton Park, ($)
Sump is a bit out of the way from the medical campus, but it’s a great excursion on the weekend.
