TEC Cafe Del Mar Reviews
New internet cafe on campus, and it is a great place to do work especially with amazing views and baristas. With rows of computers, the cafe has the potential to be a hangout place where friends can gather to play video games.

Drinks are good, but I find whatever brand they use for teas to be a little bland. Service is pretty good. The gaming area is really nice. They don't always tell you when they upcharge you for items.

I ordered the special green pomegranate tea. Disgusting is an understatement.
