Grind it, brew it, smell it, drink it

Melodies of angsty indie bands and lovesick guys with guitars weave in and out of and over the conversations of college students.

"Did you see my facebook status?"
"Okay, this is cram central guys."
"The homework is due when?"

The rich aroma of coffee lingers. Wooden tables hold outrageously-priced cups of White Chocolate Mocha and Chai Lattes and books splayed open and wrinkled sheets of notebook paper. Laptops sit open-faced, giving off their blue-ish glow. Fingers type furiously the English papers, the physics homework, the love letters, the instant messages.

The tentacles of iPods reach up to ears that don't want to hear the conversations or the angsty indie bands or the lovesick guitar guys. The dress code is simple: hoodies, t-shirts, jeans.

Welcome to your local university coffee house. The House Blend is on special.
