Long line but fast service.

Great place for a nice coffee

A little too crowded most of the times.

Good coffee, good atmosphere

Good place to get coffee and pastries on campus. I really recommend the coconut milk mocha machiato.

Basically a starbucks, but with a few signature drinks of their own. Nice place!

Cool place. Good food. Muffins aren't dry.

Great place to get a breakfast bite or hot drink. Staff is always great!

Great place to grab some coffee or a snack and do homework. The staff is very friendly.

They make my white mocha perfect every time 😊

I loved this place. I worked here as well in 2015-16 as a student. RIT dinning Staff is amazing and helpful. Food is awesome! I will re visit it someday!

I was feeling nostalgic so I thought I'd write a review. This place was my favorite back in college. Always got a black coffee and a chocolate chip scone to fuel study sessions. Keep rockin' Midnight Oil!

Midnight Oil is a part of the "We Proudly Serve Starbucks Coffee" Programme, and as such, almost the entirety of the Starbucks menu can be found here. They work fairly quickly and get orders accurate

Ivan Lin

It's your typical Starbucks type of place. It's pretty jammed during breakfast hours (lines typically go outside into Crossroads), but other than that it's clean and the staffs are very friendly.

Priya Wingood

10/10 would recommend! Best place to get coffee on campus, and the people are so nice. There isn’t much to hate here.

Annika Atherton

Great place, they keep the line moving as best they can during busy times but usually only 1-2 minute wait. Never had any complaints about my drinks

Olive Behan

It's a Starbucks but better. They have more local specials then an average Starbucks and staff and managers are always super sweet!

Alexander Gartley

Great place to meet a friend or colleague. They are not a Starbucks, but they brew Starbucks coffee. Excellent donuts and bagels too. Haven't tried the breakfast sandwiches but they seem to be quite popular. Convenient to the west side of the RIT campus.

John-David Rocha

Good coffee and ambience for a college cafe. The fire in the winter is pleasant, but year round this is a great spot for working or taking a break.

Keith Delk

Fantastic coffee shop. I get my caffeine fix here almost every day. For those regulars, ask for their punch cards to get your 10th coffee free :] Midnight Oil is a really nice place for your 1:1 meetings away from the bustle.

Average starbucks experience

Always a good cup

Good desserts

Good service

Good place to get a little pick me up for late night studying!

Its just a Starbucks, don't let the name fool you. Friendly staff and free board games!

Great little coffee shop on RIT campus.

Great drinks but the food is a bit off

Great drinks, better hours.

Really good food and quick

Midnight oil is a franchisee of Starbucks, so for all intensive purposes it's just a Starbucks styled like a living room.

Went here expecting to get some oil for my car, ended up with a tasty muffin. Not dissapointed. Still need oil though...

A bit pricey but they sell Starbucks so that's expected. The staff is always friendly and very quick.

Good Starbucks coffee. Decent price. Muffins and cookies are OK.

A little overpriced but the atmosphere is cool. It's a nice place to chill out and do work

Nice coffee shop not usually too crowded during the day

Occasionally orders will get lost. Pastries are decent though

Great Starbucks coffee with fairly quick service. Though with any Starbucks coffee, it is expensive.

The closest thing to Starbucks without actually being Starbucks. Same everything really and great small plate choices as well.

Good coffee directly on campus. Expect long lines between class times though.

Mostly for RIT students. Fast service and nice staff. Prices are average and sometimes a long line between classes.

Linda Brink

I got coffee and a bagel. There is sometimes a line but it moves pretty quickly. Good sweets. Breakfast sandwiches are bland. Good coffee.

ramkumar ranganathan

Good ambience, variety of global food, lot of place for students, their parents and faculty to sit and interact. Hot food available during cold weather. Nice place to hangout within RIT campus

Valentina Rodriguez

it's a nice place to gather and study. In winter you will be able to enjoy of the fireplace. :) Try the caramel macchiato or just a latte and the amazing muffins.

It's Starbucks.

Basically a starbucks

Nice atmosphere but coffee is hit or miss

Expensive, but good, lots of pastries options, don't take Starbucks cards

It's run by RIT so expect inflated prices for mediocre quality

Understaffed, but decent food for when you're on the run.

The pastries are okayish but the downside is that they don't have non caffeinated beverages.

Colin O'Donnell

Used to be my favorite breakfast on campus but the quality of the food has really plummeted over the past year or two. Also the layout changes recently make it feel a lot less like a cozy nook and more like a waiting area for mobile orders.

Brett Matzke

I prefer Java's but sometimes give Midnight Oil a chance. The coffee isn't bad but there is a huge gap in customer service and quality between Java's and Midnight Oil. If you run out of ice coffee midpour then don't serve it to me at full price. The level of apathy in the people behind was amazingly bad. I want to like this place but have had 3 bad experiences out of the last 4 times I was there.

Too pricey.

The place is pretty clean and is more of a deli. They take forever to cook burgers however.

Decent pastries, horrible coffee (starbucks) and expensive prices.

Molly R

They filled my drink halfway and dumped cinnamon powder in the bottom and on the top. The photo is how it came, not with any sips taken.

Mike Benno

Got the breakfast burrito from there and it was bland. the cinnamon roll was decent and the muffins are alright too. Not a coffee person so I can't give an opinion on that. Nice little place otherwise if you need coffee from the looks of it

They don't accept cash..what a joke.

It's just a Starbucks lol Go to Javas instead please

We serve proudly, coffee or ice?

Why Midnight Oil and no open midnight?

Not a great shop. The coffee is barely drinkable. However, the location and hours are good.

Made my order wrong and refused to change it. Terrible food, terrible drinks, terrible customer service.

Named Midnight Oil and supposed to be “open late.” It is never open at midnight and barely open late

clarinet cat

Came here for brunch on parent weekend 2023. They don't accept cash, which is legal tender. Also, flies everywhere, put cream in my coffee and flies literally flew off the containers. Go someplace else, Dunkin would be a better choice.

Lucca Ferreira

My experience at midnight oil was quite unpleasant. Whoever is in charge of picking the ice to go in the drinks should be fired. The ice in the coffee is made up of tiny little pebbles that melt and completely water down your drink in just a few minutes. Other than that the coffee is pretty bitter. The employees are hit or miss some were polite and friendly while others were rude and completely incompetent. In the future I’m going to bring my bring my business to Beanz or a different rit cafe.

I M

Rip OFF! Caffe Mocha Grande is 4.15. I ordered it with coconut milk INSTEAD of dairy.. NO extra charges were mentioned. I was meeting with people there and wasn't given a receipt. Later i noticed tgat the charge came out as 5.45. Is it for Replacing dairy with coconut milk? Shouldn't they at least deduct the dairy I'm not getting? Coconut milk "replacement" costs more than 1 dollar?! Also.. How come you guys charge me DIFFERENTLY for the same freakin order that I had before?!!
