This popped up on my phone just because I went to the library I did not stop in to the procrastination station but I thought I'd let you know that the staff has always been very helpful and I've always had a good experience at the procrastination station

Their cappuccino was stellar and I was very impressed by the selection of vegetarian sandwiches and offerings (and plenty for carnivores, too)!

Always a great spot to get food during late nights working in the library. Options limited as night goes on however, so helpful to stock up on the fresh food early (before 10pm is best).

Good coffee and food, but pretty pricey for what you get. Wait times can be excessive when they get super busy, but it's understandable considering the amount of traffic they get.
