Cal State San Marcos has multiple options when buying coffee, but if you are a student who enjoys the wind’s breeze, the shade of trees and originality, Campus Coffee is for you.

When you think about coffee, you imagine the taste of it in your mouth and you automatically know where to get the best cup. At CSUSM, students are fortunate to have coffee especially designed and created for them. If you are a coffee lover and want to try something new this semester, head over to Campus Coffee.

Campus Coffee is located in Founder’s Plaza in the midst of movement and student activity. In comparison to Starbucks, the location is convenient for students who have classes in the area or are simply taking a break from their hectic schedules filled with endless lectures. The seating is located under big and bodacious trees that envelope students with shade in the spring and yellow leaves in the fall. Unlike the Starbucks seating, there is no need for umbrellas to cover the shade when students have natural shelter from the sun.

Campus Coffee offers more than just coffee. They also have a variety of drinks and snacks that include fruits, snack bars and pastries. They have so much originality. For such a small place they know how to make students feel cozy with their warm and caring attitudes. The employees always greet students with a smile, infecting others with positive energy.

“My favorite thing about Campus Coffee is that the employees are really approachable and friendly, even if there is a long line. I also like how convenient it is because it’s near all my classes. I am also discovering that the prices are lower than Starbucks,” said Chelsea Tucker, a CSUSM student that utilizes Campus Coffee.

At Campus Coffee students can’t help but feel original themselves. They won’t find Campus Coffee anywhere else. Every season, students are guaranteed a spot under the trees, whether it’s relaxing while drinking an iced coffee or enjoying a nice hot cappuccino with a warm scarf around your neck. The smell of coffee and the buzz of students’ conversations make Campus Coffee the perfect location to sit, have a cappuccino or make a pit stop to buy a snack before heading to class. Campus Coffee gives students the opportunity to feel like they’re a part of a campus community. Fall season is now upon us and as wind blows by rustling the leaves, making students forget the stressful load of college duties, Campus Coffee is the place to be.
