“We all try our best to work on our coffee art.” – Mindy Bobs, manager

Serves: Thomas Hammer Coffee
Food: Breakfast bars, biscotti, cookies.
Offers: Customers who bring in their own travel mug can buy a cup of drip coffee for $1.
Most Requested Drink: White chocolate mocha.
Pros:
• Part of a local Spokane coffee chain, which supports the local economy.

• Reasonably close to where students get on and off the bus.
• Professionalism that comes from a legitimate franchise.

Thirsty Minds
“I work in the library, so I can just come in here and get my [mocha].” – Alyaa Malibari, student

Location: JFK Library
Serves: Craven’s Coffee
Food: A very small selection of bagels, cookies and scones from Main Street Dining.
Offers: A selected 16-ounce drink is $2.50. There are also daily specials.
Most requested drink: White chocolate mocha
Pros:
• Because of the shop’s laid-back atmosphere, it is a great time waster. In case class ends early, standing in line for coffee wastes just enough time to reasonably get to the next class.
• There are events in the library; while standing in line a student is bound to come across something new and intriguing.
• Craven’s coffee is a local Spokane business. It helps support the local economy.
Cons:
• Spend more time in line waiting than drinking the coffee you ordered.
• Libraries tend to be quiet. It makes line waiting a bit awkward.
What makes it different: this shop is a solo job. The barista runs both the register and the espresso machine.
