Students on campus will soon have more coffee choices as The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf trailer is set to open on October 21, after delays pushed back its launch. The trailer, located next to the Kinesiology building, has been awaited since mid-September. Alongside this, Coastal Coffee is also under construction and expected to open by the end of November, providing a permanent coffee option. This comes after students experienced a lack of prepared coffee options following the closure of the previous Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf location in the University Student Union.
• The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf trailer will operate Monday to Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., with mobile ordering available.
• Coastal Coffee will be a permanent establishment, unlike the temporary trailer.
• Students expressed dissatisfaction with current coffee options, particularly the Caffeine Lab.
• Many are eager for more diverse food and beverage choices on campus.
The return of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and the opening of Coastal Coffee are significant for students who have struggled with limited food and drink options. With more coffee shops available, students will no longer need to travel far for their caffeine fix, improving their overall campus experience.
