New DiscussionStarbucks on campus?

kutibah

Where is the Starbucks on campus? I remember my orientation counselor telling us about it but from what I found online the closest location is in Westwood? He also said they give free coffee during finals week.

You're thinking of Kerckhoff Coffee House. :rolleyes:

MrSpam

There's also Coffee Bean in Bruin Cafe, which uses up your swipes

coffee bean is bomb, kerkoff coffee is DISGUSTING

mrMOO

Yeah, Kerckhoff is pretty nasty sometimes. Haters, you are missing two letters from kerCkHoff.

hibiscuspink

They're both disgusting. I weaned myself off coffee so I could use it for when it really matters, e.g. the night before and the morning of a final. :/

Then I need to pee during the test and life sucks. I hate it when they say no bathroom breaks for a three-hour final.

Starbucks for the win.

MrSpam

It's all about the tea...

kutibah

darn...i work at starbucks so I get a 30% discount so I was hoping there was one on campus =(

oh well...westwood it is

yahooo

I wish bcaf had good Pearl Milk Tea, or "boba" as socal people like to call it...

VTECaddict

oh god, i dont even wanna know how they would butcher boba/pearl tea.

yahooo

Yeah. I suppose they would butcher it pretty bad. The pearls would probably overcooked or undercooked and their tea would probably taste more like milk and chocolate. :[

channel_26

how could they mess up the tea? it's all made of powder anyway

yahooo

Um.. Milk tea. Not your typical Lipton tea or w/e.

PoorPluto

Ooh man, how I wish there was a place to get boba on campus.. it's really yummy (and super cheap)!

Starbucks is a bit too steep for most of us, I would think.

You make milk tea using Lipton tea (black tea). It's not difficult .... the only factor is the experience of the server ~~~ the ratio of condensed milk to the black tea in the drink.
