Baristas are friendly and drinks are great. They have a wide variety of prepackaged cold foods, along with fresh bagels and pastries. It definitely gets busy when classes get out!

Nice refreshing place to get a snack or a drink while studying in Olin Library. The prices aren't too bad and you get a great view of the Arts Quad when you sit by the windows! The selection isn't too bad!

Decent selection, plenty of space (though it gets pretty packed) and right inside the Olin library so it's very convenient.

The service is pretty fast and there are many interesting seasonal menu to try. There are two microwaves here. The view is great as you can see the campus clearly. But finding a place to sit can be a real challenge.

Best cafe at the apt corner. Easy to access while reading in Olin or Uris. Starbucks, bagels, and other brunch kind eatables are there. Great place for iced mocha and cappuccino. Very friendly staff.

Too many people come here, you're better off anywhere else. However they are open the longest so they become the only option for snacks past 11pm

Same stuff as at the other Cornell cafés, but in a great location with a nice view of the Arts quad.

They charge a lot more than Starbucks in other universities, taste like water, and they don’t seem to understand what “less ice” means
