Best Coffee Shop: Cool Beans Coffee Company

IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE that Cool Beans Coffee Company has brewed up another win for Best Coffee Shop! With its welcoming environment and cozy ambiance, it is one of the top study spots, hangout areas and so much more.

“The customers set Cool Beans apart from other coffee shops,” said Ella Barnett, one of Cool Beans’ baristas. “Customers will come in for hours and that is how we build the relationships that we have.”

Cool Beans offers a cozy space with its friendly staff and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The welcoming space encourages customers to come in and stay.

“It’s a comfortable place to study, a spot for brunch with friends, or a quick coffee stop.” said frequent customer Avery Krudop.

Not only do they have delicious pastries and coffee, but they also host a weekly live mic event on Wednesdays for local artists. Barnett elaborates further on live poetry reading and live music.

“Overall, it is an opportunity for the local community to express themselves and show off their work,” Barnett said.

Cool Beans is only steps from campus and is open daily until 9 p.m. Its menu changes constantly, offering coffee lovers new drinks monthly. Whether you enjoy a classic caramel latte or are looking for a change, like an Italian Cream Soda, Cool Beans will always have something to offer!
