According to The New York Times, Starbucks needs the time to teach their employees new ways to use the coffee machines. Because, you know, there’s more than one. As to why this process will take a couple […]

Thanks to an email from a Bwog tipster, it seems that recent shenanigans at John Jay’s Blue Java Express are coming to an ignominious end.  It appears that the wool has been pulled over one too many Columbian’s eyes, as this tipster put an end to recent Blue Java trickery…   Bwog Editors, I thought […]

Blue Java in Butler just increased its cup size without increasing its prices. That’s what she said. -Thanks to Ellen Kessel for the tip

Bwog coffee-reviewer Downing Bray takes you off campus for a caffeine jolt. If the idea of setting foot into Butler sends you chills worse than the sub-zero wind chill temperatures of late, and your idea of getting off campus to study entails venturing beyond a 10-block radius from Columbia, you might just want to think […]

3111 Broadway between 122nd and 123rd Morningside Heights has a new spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. Chokolat Patisserie, long a shuttered storefront, opened within the last month in the beyond-Barnard, downhill stretch of Broadway (although its website is still under construction).  If you’re looking for a Hungarian substitute to hunker down and study, Chokolat […]

Our, um, highest congratulations to the art history department, who have installed a coffee machine in a lounge in Schermerhorn. They’ve circulated the news like it’s the birth of the Messiah. Or something. And they’re going to charge!? Read the gospel email after the jump.

That shit is like… acid. Somewhere in Carman, after a Butler all-nighter: GUY 1: I’ve running on caffeine right now. I just took a piss […]

It’s Morton Williams’ free bagel and a coffee D-DAY! Coupons can be found on the back cover of the Columbia Political Review. And copies of the Columbia Political Review can be found… (Commenters? A little help?)
