Now Barnard students can use their mandatory points-only meal plans for some high quality java, and we don’t mean the mediocre Java City coffee that Liz’s Place used to serve. The student-friendly café on the first floor of the Diana Center is dropping their old brand for a stronger brew: Starbucks. Liz’s Place will begin serving Starbucks coffee (à la Brad’s Café in the Journalism School) when it reopens this coming semester.
The café will also have extended hours: Monday – Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. (instead of midnight), a brand-new easy-to-read menu board, and more lounge seating. We’re excited, but sadly, we don’t think this is going to make those morning lines any shorter.
i like coffee
Cool, man. That’s cool.
ack. Why is this news.
categorized as “Arts”?
EVER had the coffee at liz’s place before? this is huge news.
i mean, it’s not just barnard students…all columbia students would want to know this too. honestly, i think spec is partly to blame for the confusion and tension between barnard and columbia…we are all columbia university students, so why do you need to address only a portion? aside from academic changes that may only affect students in one particular school, all changes affect the entire columbia community
This is not an improvement. Starbucks has that strange burnt taste, and no doubt prices will be going up. Too bad Aramark can’t deal with a local outfit like Oren’s, which mysteriously manages to produce decent coffee (something beyond Starbucks’ ability).
