Find a local coffee shop that matches your mood

February 27, 2020

No matter if you’re feeling overwhelmed or social, the thought of sitting in your favorite coffee shop while sipping a delicious drink can be tempting.

With dozens of coffee shops each offering different environments to accommodate your ever-changing moods, it can be hard to decide which location to go to. Visiting multiple cafés to determine which one is right for you can also be time consuming and expensive.

Whether you are feeling rushed or relaxed, there is a local coffee shop for you.

Grumpy or rushed: 151 Coffee

Madi Olivier

151 Coffee is perfect for anybody that is feeling irritable or is rushing to get somewhere.

151 Coffee is perfect if you are feeling irritable or need to be somewhere in a few minutes. The building is small and only has a drive through, limiting your interaction with other people if you prefer to keep to yourself before your daily dose of caffeine. However, the people you do have to speak with to order your drink and pay are kind, even going as far as offering a Milk Bone for your dog. Additionally, the business is run efficiently ensuring that you can quickly get a drink when you desperately need a pick-me-up. 

151 Coffee is known for their 151 Freez, so that’s a good choice if you’ve never been there before. I ordered a Mocha Freez, which is basically a coffee milkshake.The drink is actually made using a milkshake machine. It tasted almost exactly like a regular iced mocha, but it had the same rich and creamy texture as a shake. If you would rather something else, the menu offers a wide variety of drinks.

Overall, 151 Coffee’s fast service and yummy drinks are perfect to put you in a better mood and give you an extra energy boost.

Stressed or overwhelmed: Kimzey’s Coffee

Kimzey’s Coffee is perfect for anyone that needs to enjoy some time away from stress.

Kimzey’s Coffee is a great place for you to go if school or work has you feeling stressed. When you walk into the cafe it almost feels as if you entered a fairytale, as the inside is decorated with pastel colors, flowers and a fireplace. The fun decor gives the shop a whimsical and relaxed vibe, which can help calm down even the most stressed students. The building is quiet and has multiple different rooms with comfortable seating, making it the perfect place to get some studying done or even just relax and prepare yourself for a stressful day ahead.

The drinks are amazing as well. I got a chocolate cold brew, which is essentially an iced mocha. It was delicious, with the perfect balance between the bitter cold brew and sweet chocolate. The menu boasts a wide variety of options, from basic mochas and lattes to more specialized drinks, such as The Candy Bar.

While Kimzey’s Coffee is almost twenty minutes away from campus, making it much further away than the other shops, the shop’s cute decor and great drinks make it well worth the drive.

Edison Coffee Co. is a great place to spend a calm morning.

If you feel calm in the morning and want a place to relax, Edison Coffee Co. is perfect for you. There are normally a few other people getting their morning coffee, but the baristas are kind and treat you like you’re the only customer there, happily discussing your day as they brew your drink. The shop has modern decor and always has soft music playing in the background, which gives it a homey feel. While Edison Coffee Co. is the perfect place to sit while you either enjoy the quiet or have a fun conversation with someone nearby, if you want to focus and get some last minute homework done, the shop also provides complimentary WiFi.

The drinks are perfect for a quick morning treat. Basic drinks like lattes and Americanos are served all year, while seasonal drinks are updated often. I’ve ordered a wide variety of drinks from Edison Coffee Co. over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. My favorites are their mocha latte and their seasonal pumpkin spice latte. They are a little more bitter than I prefer, which is true for many of their drinks, but the chocolate and pumpkin flavors always stand out, making up for it. Edison Coffee Co. also offers yummy food items such as muffins and sandwiches.

Edison Coffee Co. is the perfect shop to visit if you just want to relax, whether that be by enjoying some quiet time alone or having a lively conversation with the barista.

Hours: 6:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. on weekdays, 7 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Saturdays, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sundays

Fun loving or social: Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream

Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream has a fun environment for spending time with friends.

If you’re in the mood to hang out with friends and enjoy a yummy treat, you should check out Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream. The shop has about 10 comfortable seating areas and a fake fireplace, which gives it a cozy feel. In the background, upbeat music is played fairly loudly compared to other shops. Board games, magazines and books are available, so while Sukoon might not be an ideal study spot, it’s a great place to socialize and have fun.

While the café offers basic drinks like mocha lattes, what sets it apart is its dessert-like drinks, such as the cookies and cream frappe, which is what I ordered. The drink was a delicious treat. It tasted like an Oreo milkshake, but with a hint of coffee. The consistency was relatively thin for a frappe, but the taste and whipped cream dusted with cookie powder made up for it. The drinks took a while to be made, but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re planning on hanging out. Unlike the other coffee shops, Sukoon also offers ice cream, which makes it an even better place to treat yourself to a night out with friends. 

Overall, Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream’s fun environment and delicious treats makes it the perfect place to spend an afternoon with a few friends.
