Depends on the day and your mood...this is a busy coffee house. So if you know that much and know you might run into a line during passing period- all else will be good!. Students working this coho are usually pretty awesome, chill n friendly. Wish they had whole milk! Haha. Otherwise great spot for a pick me up! Tons of seating inside and outside.

Pachamama coffee on campus. Owned by a cooperative of smallholder organic coffee growers.

There was this employee named Diego, by far one of the best cashiers I have ever met. I was crying after one of my midterms, and he paid for my drink. He told me it would be ok and his kindness will never be forgotten. ASUCD you are truly lucky to have him.

It's my favorite place to get coffee on campus. It's not only the cheapest but it has a great atmosphere. Being in here means I run into people often, and the coffee is solid. There's a lot of new hires pretty much all the time, but I've found that helping them out with my usual order is no big hassle. I recommend the Vanilla Latte and the Campfire Latte when it cycles back around as drink of the month. That being said, they WILL get your name wrong.

Very appreciative of this place, their drinks are super cheap and tasty. Their Matcha is great, which can’t be said for a lot of places.

Fresh tasty sushi in a safe way to-go! Staff is very friendly and everyone is following the necessary covid precautions. Glad to be able to come to the Coho again this school year and will be a frequent visitor!!

Lots of options for good prices! Often hard to find a table.

This is fantastic!! Go for the academic bowl!! Also had a terrific latte!! They were so nice when I accidently picked up the wrong order. Great service!
