Saint's is one of the few near campus coffee shops. There is also McKinnon's inside the PSU library, but it serves Seattle's Best Coffee, which is WAY over roasted and just tastes terrible. Saint's does offer a decent cup of coffee, and they won't give you a blank stare if you ask for an Americano. Their desserts are tasty and reasonably priced. The only real problem I have with Saint's is that their seating area is not conducive for studying. A college campus should have a great study cafe, but PSU just doesn't have one. Saint's has mostly bar-stool height round tables which don't provide the right space for books and a laptop. Plenty of people do study there, which usually means that you can't get a table anyway.
