COC Coffee Kiosk

The people working here are great and the coffee is yummy! I’ve only had the cup o joe, so I can’t speak to the sugary stuff, but they make it just right here. It’s a daily ritual here at COC. So glad it’s not Starbucks!

I love this coffee kiosk because the employees always seem to be having a good time. In reference to the comments below, it is nothing like starbucks. They do NOT have an automatic pull machine. They have manual espresso machine. The employees actually get sent to a coffee roasting company to be specially trained on how to make espresso drinks. The blended drinks are far better than starbucks. They stay creamy all the way through. Also they’re beans are organic and fair trade so thats a plus. They also offer vegan drinks because of the soy and almond milk options. Bravo coffee kiosk, bravo.

After spending $ 3.25 for a small «hot chocolate,» I realized I had received basically an overpriced cup of hot milk. After letting a couple people try my «hot chocolate,» and getting an overall consensus that this tasted just like a cup of hot milk, I went back to the coffee stand and asked for more chocolate to be added. When I got it back, the cup was full and it tasted exactly the same. You would think that a relatively small company would make better drinks than a huge chain like Starbucks, but unfortunately that’s not the case.

Pleasantly surprised.
I’ve tried freudian sip, and all of the other garbage on college campuses, but i was very surprised with the Coffee Kiosk. The menu is heavily modeled after Starbucks, and somehow has MORE options. The inclusion of almond milk is fantastic, I get it in my iced coffee almost every day. Service is about as good as it gets for a walk-​up hut, and the bagels are solid. Espresso is possibly better than Starbucks, although that doesn’t mean much (they both have the auto-​pull machines – when is a college campus gonna have a legit espresso machine???). The brewed coffee is great, once again possibly better than Starbucks. The ice-​blended drinks seem to be the most popular, although I don’t indulge in such. Overall, this is very solid for between classes.
