Since when have book browsing and coffee tasting become contiguous?

There must be a reason why Café 330 is situated right next to the University Bookstore. The décor of the café is simplistic yet stylish. Self-help and thrift are subtly endorsed. Caring for Earth and our society are written on the wall and the faces of the employees there.

Book browsing should never be done in a hurry, but when you come across a book long sought after or one with immediate appeal, and are not dissuaded by the product endorsements on the jacket, buy it. Then take it next door and find a seat, not an easy task at times. While the coffee crema swirls in your cup, turn the pages of the prologue or the first chapter. Take on the serious stuff, or skip around for fun. It's your book, your call.

At this joint coffee does not play second fiddle. A cup of Americano with distinct character and a lasting palate can get you (and your friends) through the good part of the morning or fill up the interim until the next class.
