★★★★★ 5.0 Y Bear · Jun 2025

Love, love, love this place!! Cheaper prices than any other coffee shop on campus and really great drinks. Highly recommend the Polar Bear!! Baristas are always so nice and they give out stickers with orders!! It’s such a vibe. One of my fav places to study and just hang. It makes you forget your on campus 😂

This is my favorite coffee spot on campus. I want to say thank you to Edgar! He was so nice to answer my question and gave me a good recommendation! Nice coffee taste :)

★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa Cantu King · Jan 2023

Moms really opened up the space to have more tables and chairs inside. Great atmosphere to refresh or get some computer work done while on campus. My TARO latte was beautiful and yummy!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alex Mojcher · Apr 2021

Had a phenomenal coffee and pastry from this classic example of a campus coffee shop. Bubbly college students behind the bar specifying the roast of the day, guiding me to the day-old pastry which I devoured... what more could I ask for? It was called a Crumbonne I believe and was essentially a muffin sized monkey bread, but 10x better than any monkey bread I’ve ever had.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ricardo Bustamante · Feb 2019

One of the best (if not the best) coffee shops to get a quality espresso on campus. They use "Cafe Virtuoso" and they have a bunch of different types of it. Recommended.
