Davenport Coffee Lounge

They get 6 stars (yes, I said 6-six out of five stars) from me mostly for the good service I received from the staff. Very friendly and approachable. I actually really enjoyed this cute little spot. It's nice campus lounge at a beautiful location. I favored the cookie butter latte (I like it sweet, so if this is you, you'll like this one.) Yes, certain things are under repair which is evidence that it has been a well used and preferred location for many people and more investments should be considered to care for it. I have not been here during the high traffic times between classes, so I cannot speak to that, but I would come back just because of the good experience with those handling front end of the cafe.

I never go because the line is always ungodly long. But if you going during typical class times it’s ok. I got a quiche there that was not good at all and literally cold. This place is super popular but whenever I’ve gone things are just totally disorganized and honestly a little dirty. For some reason they only have one payment system and even that is unbearably slow. Employees were nice though and played good music :). But management should figure some stuff out. Unfortunately I would literally go to any other coffee place on campus because this place does not live up to the hype.

The quality is not consistent. A stuff definitely did my order wrong. Line can be huge, they can be slow as there is only one machine. A big problem is that they don't write your name on the cup, so you have to "stare" at your order as you don't want to take other people's drink or you don't want other people take yours. I like their chai latte (even tho they just use some powder from Amazon, the milk they use is pretty good) that is the only reason I go to there.

Oh, The Dav. I love you.

Easily one of the best spots to study or hang out on campus, The Davenport definitely brings that cozy coffeehouse vibe to AU. All of their coffee is fair trade (and delicious), they've got a bunch of snacks and juices from local companies, and usually have a drink of the month that supports a certain campus group or cause. What's not to love about The Dav?

...Maybe the long lines and the fact that it's difficult to find a place to hunker down on homework sometimes. Other than that, it's a really cool campus fixture.

The perfect place to stop by if you park inside SIS (or pass by on your way to campus). I usually get one of their pastries or a quiche in the morning - but I know they also serve a variety of caffeinated beverages. There are long lines in the morning when school is in session, but they usually do a good job with keeping it moving.

Wait here is too long in regular school days (and nights) It’s more efficient go to Starbucks at the tunnel. I’ve spent here around 30 min waiting a simple cappuccino. Also there is imposible for them to be consistent with the drinks your order. I found myself rushing to class before stoping here for a drink.

When I asked if there is added sugar in almond milk for cappuccino they told "no". When I asked for their almond milk to have a look at the ingredients cane sugar turned out to be the second ingredient. If I hadn't checked it I'd have health troubles. Anyway, coffee tastes really good.

Wonderful coffee! If you bring your own mug you can get it for $1. Really cool vibe with great music. Essential for any student.

Coffee is always on point, staff are always friendly. Yes, sometimes they are busy but only because everyone on campus wants a cup of their amazing coffee! The space is clean and cozy. This is the only place within a pretty wide radius where you can find single-origin Ethiopian coffee. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Keep doing what you're doing!

The DAV is alright. I'm a student at AU and it's okay if you're really opposed to giving Starbucks your money. But in a vacuum, their coffee is just okay
