Best coffee on campus along with excellent pastries. The croissants are fantastic!

I really disliked the service and coffee overall there was NOT GOOD. I had a barista LIE to me when she accidentally made me a mocha rather than a hot chocolate and then only made me another one when I pointed it out. Also when I did receive my correct drink she did not mix the syrup leaving a hot water mess and intense syrup on the bottom. Never go if you have taste buds or human decency.

The two employees that we dealt with were extremely rude. We ordered a frappuccino and asked for no whip creme, they still put the whip creme on and when we proceeded to take the whip creme off they said in a rude tone, "If you wanted the whip creme off we could have taken it off back here instead of you making a mess in the cafe." So I said that we were planning on cleaning it up. The next lady proceed to say, "If you didn't want whip creme then you should have asked for NO whip creme." So I said that she did ask for no whip creme, and the lady gave me a nasty look. Overall very unsatisfied with how rude they were to us for no reason.

Such peaceful place to realxe in the library. The pastry and snacks are expensive, so you might want to stick with the coffee and realted drinks there. The customer service providers are trained well and are quite friendly.

Good coffee, quick service. They've never messed up an order. A few drinks are overpriced.

Coffee is the goat. On campus in a library filled with books and hot brewed coffee on your desk. What could be better than that.

Bookends takes advantage of being one of few places students can buy lunch on a tight time schedule by charging over 6 dollars for tiny sandwiches that are so inconsistently sized that you never know if the one you buy will end up being a slice of deli meat and a lettuce leaf wrapped within the tortilla. Absolutely ridiculous.

Went to Bookends for the first time in a few weeks. Brought my travel mug and ordered a dark roast coffee. I was charged 1.60 for a weak bodied and flavorless coffee. I dumped it out. If you like GOOD coffee go elsewhere.

There is a lot available: coffee, tea, water, juice, baked goods, granola bars, snacks. However, the coffee is not high quality and there is a long, slow line during popular times.

The best friend for a college student. May be backed up sometimes but is well worth the wait.
