Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Espresso Royale, home coffee.. there are so many options. I am a coffee lover and thought I would fill you in on what these coffee shops do well and what they lack.. I'll assess things such as caffeine content, options available, price, and accessibility.

Starbucks: Ah Starbucks everyone's favorite overpriced coffee shop. Here's some pros and cons for you.

Pros:

• Multitude of drink options such as mochas, cappuccinos, frappuccinos, espresso, and so much more!
• You can get coffee with a ton of caffeine or just a little
• They are on every corner so easily accessible!
• Chance to get free rewards (at participating locations)

• Slight issue with accessibility is the long lines(there is an option of ordering your coffee ahead of time but depending on location they may not offer this)
• One of the most expensive coffee shops ($6 coffee is ridiculous)

Ultimately if you are not afraid of the prices and occasional long lines, Starbucks has good drink options to satisfy your sweet tooth and/or caffeine cravings.

Dunkin' Donuts: If you are looking for good coffee and good food at an affordable price you've come to the right place!

Pros:

• 99 cent coffee after 3!
• Affordable (even before 3)
• Many different types of coffee and flavor options
• Great donuts and bakery items
• Stronger caffeine buzz than most other coffee shops (at least in my experience)

• Slightly harder to access than Starbucks (but still around)
• Coffee is sometimes pretty bitter (never fear that's what creamer and sugar is for!)

Don't hesitate to take a chance on their coffee, it usually is a great option!

Espresso Royale: Another option on most college campuses which has great coffee!

Pros:

• Many options from mochas, to normal coffee, to speciality drinks
• Coffee is great with good amount of caffeine
• Offer drink deals and hand out coupons!
• Easily accessible for college students
• Don't normally have as long of lines as Starbucks

Home Coffee: No one can forget the good ole-fashioned home coffee option!

Pros:

• Cheapest option
• The right brand (I like Starbucks, Dunkin', and McDonald's brand) is good and highly caffeinated
• You can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home (shoutout to all my fellow morning monsters!)
• Many different creamers and other flavor options
• No lines!
