Cool cafe in the library, coffee drinks, sodas, food/pastries, all at reasonable prices, much less than a typical coffee shop would charge.

I didn't eat but the Cafe breve was perfect. Service was prompt and friendly. I sat and worked on a project while people came and went . Perfect for me. If you want less activity there is a quiet study room. It is very active in the afternoon after Edison lets out.
