I drink coffee every morning. I make specialty coffee for a living at the moment. Basically, my life is coffee, so when I was brainstorming ideas for this week's article I thought "COFFEE." Here are ten cool coffee spots worth your time whether you're a Cleveland State student, staff, or simply in town!

1. Outtakes Quick Cuisine

This little convenient store on campus sells coffee in a convenient location on campus for students walking between buildings in the inner link. It's on the second floor of the student center but they only sell drip coffee so it is not considered a café. However, if you just need a quick cup of joe on your way to your next class, this is the spot for you!

2. Viking Grounds

Another convenient coffee spot on campus is Viking Grounds. Unlike Outtakes, Viking Grounds sells specialty coffee's like lattes and mochas. It's on the first floor of the student center and the staff is very friendly!

3. Business Perks

Business Perks is located in the Monte Ahuja College (Business Building) on the first floor. This café is branded with Starbucks coffee, but they do not use the same ingredients as Starbucks.

4. Café Ah-Roma

A similar set up as the TV sitcom "Friends," Café Ah-Roma has couches and tables for their customers to relax in while they enjoy a cup of coffee. Café Ah-Roma prioritizes customer service and is conveniently located across from the Science and Research building next to Trinity Cathedral.

5. The Link

Another coffee spot in the inner link for convenience has drip coffees, "Seattle's Best," the same coffee as Outtakes.

6. Bloom

Behind Burgers 2 Beers is a little bakery that has been open for two years. They sell specialty coffees like lattes, espresso, mochas, etc. My personal favorite is the hazelnut americano!

7. Joe Maxx

Notorious for their coffee on campus, Joe Maxx sells specialty coffees and breakfast items. A fun coffee to try from here is an americano au la breve. Joe Maxx offers a 10% student discount and has punch cards where you purchase five coffees or teas and receive the sixth for free!

8. Constantino's

Attached to a popular living option for students at CSU, the Edge, Constantino's sells specialty coffees and drip coffees. Their staff is always super friendly and their lattes are exceptional.

9. Corbo's Bakery

Located in Playhouse Square, Corbo's bakery sells specialty coffees and pastries. No cap, their cookies are life changing. Forget their coffee and buy cookies, you won't regret it.

10. Starbucks

We all know good old Starbucks. This franchise is in Playhouse Square and if we are being honest, you can't go wrong with Starbucks. Personally, I'm a local coffee shop type of gal but like I said: you can't go wrong with Starbucks.

I went on a hunt where I walked four miles on campus tracking down every single coffee spot I could find. There are a million. So rather than taking up everyone's time with an article filled with fifty different coffee places, I picked the ten most convenient coffee spots on campus that stuck out to me. Here are a few other spots that are definitely worth checking out though if you like trying new coffee places!

The Market Café and Wine Bar
Pour
Hatfield's Goode Grub
Restore Cold Press

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
