You can find Offbeat Coffee Studio inside Campus No. 805. Grab a coffee and roam the school’s halls.

Here, I was recommended the Cereal Milk Latte. They change the cereal used, so you never know what you may get. For mine, there were lucky charms on top. What cereal would you like to see on your latte?

Honestly, this coffee shop is one of my favorites. At Honest Coffee Roasters, you’ll see a familiar face…

Ever wonder what fall tastes like? I’ll tell you. It tastes like The Vermont latte from Gold Sprint Coffee. In Gold Sprint, you’ll find a unique atmosphere and plenty to look at.

4. The Moon Bakeshop

Personally, I love all things pistachio. The Moon Bakeshop must’ve known this when they recommended the Pistachio Almond Latte.

The seasonal latte had both sweet and nutty notes. Be sure to pair your coffee with some bakery items. I love the rocket ship shaped cookies. This is Rocket City after all.
