Out of the 17 coffee shops on campus this one was hands down my favourite. Tucked behind the Psychology building. It’s perfect, playing the same music I have coursing through my AirPods with the best atmosphere for studying and catching up and don’t get my started on their ham and cheese croissant it’s heaven in a box, literally.

I wasn’t even mentally prepared for that defense—my brain is absolutely not in defending mode today. This medical school is… honestly, just an extremely expensive way to go clinically insane while pretending I’m saving lives. I spill a little coffee but savor the croissant—this café has got to be the best in town… everything about it is just so good.

“Because the universe hates us, clearly. But seriously, Ava you’ve got this. Final year! We should be planning epic graduation parties, not pining after unavailable professors.” Mia nodded enthusiastically, pulling out her phone to show us a café menu. “Exactly. Let’s go to The Roasted Bean right now. My treat. We can talk about real things like what we’re doing after graduation.

The snooping girls whispered among themselves: "Who's that lady? She's gorgeous. Think she's Mr. Colt's girl?" "Definitely not! Mr. Colt's a bachelor.

“So what’s going on with those two?” Alec asked Kathleen, taking a sip from the hot coffee as he enjoyed the little break he got from the office. “I don’t know honestly,” Kathleen responded with a sigh, Alec had sent a driver to pick up Kathleen so that he could enjoy the break with her. This café was Alec’s favorite; it wasn’t a fancy one but a very cozy little café with a library theme.

Richard and Lia decided to meet at Le Café Magnifique, a highly acclaimed luxurious coffee shop in a charming city corner. The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted with an air of refined elegance that permeated the entire space. The café's exterior exuded a classic charm, with large windows adorned with intricate wrought-iron designs, allowing glimpses of the warm glow inside.

"What are you doing here?" "Making your coffee," I said simply, forcing a smile. "Grande caramel macchiato, extra foam?" She nodded mutely, clearly uncomfortable. Word had spread quickly that the disgraced professor was working at the campus coffee shop. Some students avoided the place entirely now. Others came specifically to gawk at my fall from grace.

Such a fun chapter!! Chapter 11 - Colton Hastings doesn't get jealous. ~~~ Café Day was a small coffee and cupcake shop that sold reasonable yet extremely delicious creamy and unhealthy food. It was exactly what anyone would need on a hot Sunday morning. Starbucks was just a few blocks away from it, still, Café Day was never short of customers. The majority of students preferred Café Day due to its not-so-soaring-the-sky rates. Plus they rarely wrote the names on the cups wrong.

The second the hot beverage hit her tongue, she couldn’t refrain herself and spit it all out. Old Al’ and Mat waves of laughter resonated in the café while Bianca was trying to get her composure back. « Ohlala what is that ? » she had now teary eyes and the sourness was killing her. Old Al’ gave her a glass of water « This is what people here call cow piss… » « Excuse me!
