Socializing and studying both benefit from caffeination. There are plenty of places on campus to enjoy a cup of morning joe — or afternoon and evening joe.

Here’s the list of spots that serve coffee from early morning to evening. Check hours online.

Argo Tea
Student Center East

The newest place on campus to order coffee opened June 8, with coffee and all manner of teas. Customers can order their beverage by smartphone app, available for iPhone and Android.
