12 Best Places For An Energy Refresh At Purdue

A definitive ranking of the best places to get coffee at Purdue University!

If you're anything like I was when I visited colleges during my senior year of high school, you have to know where the best coffee shops are. At every school I toured, I asked about caffeine hot-spots. Purdue definitely has some of the best--hence why I chose to attend Purdue (Just kidding! It's actually a great university). So whether you're a student here at Purdue or just browsing for future reference, here are 12 places that can certainly satisfy that coffee craving of yours!

1. Greyhouse Coffee & Supply Co.

Greyhouse is basically a staple of Purdue. They have crepes, macarons, and so many coffee options. Try the London Fog! It's phenomenal.

2. Copper Moon Coffee

Copper Moon is a great, locally owned coffee shop. There is also one in Lafayette! I suggest getting the lavender vanilla latte.

3. Starbucks (in Third Street Suites)

Okay, obviously Starbucks is everywhere. It's not uncommon. This Starbucks is the cleanest on campus, but it's about a 20 minute walk for me from where I live.

4. Vienna Espresso Bar & Bakery

I'm biased in loving Vienna because this is where I had my first date with my soon-to-be husband. However, Vienna has so many different drink and food options, and they're all fantastic!

5. Starbucks (in the Purdue Memorial Union--PMU)

This is my least favorite Starbucks of the two, but it happens to be the closest to where I live. It is still decent and provides all of the typical food and drink options, but it does happen to be extremely busy all the time.

6. Einstein Bros. Bagels

Einstein's is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. One of my favorite drinks that they have is their new version of a peppermint mocha. Their coffee is also great!

7. Amelia’s (in Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering)

Amelia's is basically a little Starbucks forced into a regular cafe. I highly recommend going here for a quick drink and snack!

8. Au Bon Pain (in Wilmeth Active Learning Center--WALC)

This place has every type of snack you can image and a few different types of coffee. It's great if you have 10 minutes to spare before class, but be aware that it is typically busy.

9. UnderGrounds (in John W. Hicks Undergraduate Library)

UnderGrounds is a lesser known coffee place on campus. It's actually technically kind of in Stewart Center, so unless you have a class near here, it is a bit of a walk.

10. The Bistro (in Rawls Hall)

This place is great. It's usually quiet since people are studying. Last year, I went almost every single day during my lunch break.

11. Another Broken Egg Cafe

If you've got a few hours to spare, definitely go to Another Broken Egg for brunch! The food is great, and there are lots of different options.

12. Oasis Café (in the PMU)

This falls last on my list because there are very few options for coffee, but it's good if you're in a rush and don't really need a peppermint Swiss pumpkin hot chocolate with an extra splash of caramel (or something crazy like that).

Bonus: Town and Gown Bistro

While this is a bit of a walk/drive from campus, I can't resist throwing it in here. I cannot recommend Town and Gown enough. They have wonderful food and so many coffee options. It's in a tiny building next to McDonald's on South Street. Parking is tough, but if you can figure it out, you cannot miss this place!

Hopefully, you are able to find something spectacular to enjoy at each cafe, but if not, plain coffee gets the job done just as easily as your beloved peppermint mocha!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
